These missions will introduce a new force to deal with, STAG. STAG stands for “Special Tactical Anti Gang” and have been employed to rid Steelport of the Syndicate and the Saints by Monica Hughes, for destroying the Hughes Memorial Bridge in the opening cut scene for Return to Steelport. The commander of STAG is Cyrus Temple. But enough education, time to get dirty.
Once accepting the mission via phone, Viola (Morning Star lieutenant), asking you to meet her in the park. Once there you will get a cut scene of you and Oleg meeting Viola, a friendly conversation will be interrupted by some tricked out war vehicles showing up, and you knowing nothing good will come out by standing around. You will then run into the “safety” of a strip club. You will now have to fight your way through STAG’s infantry and make your way to safety. Eventually you’ll get a cut scene showing your self on a roof top, with tricked out jets flying around (Why you cock a pistol in the cut scene I don’t know, it just seems so useless with thous jets every where). Anyway these jets are called VTOL’s, also there are a helicopter looking air crafts called Condors. Back to the mission: run over to the other side of the roof to find a closed elevator. You will need to hold out on the roof until Viola can open it. Eventually a VTOL will pull up on the right side of the roof, which cannot be shot down there is a cinematic destruction of this specific VTOL, which is Oleg jumping on it a ripping the piolt out of the cockpit. Ironically Viola will have open the Elevator when Oleg jumps. Once the doors open get in. The elevator will bring you to the bottom floor, with more STAG. Fight your way to the exit. BEWARED, on the other side of the two doors there are a bunch of STAG. But there is also a police car. As soon as you open these double doors, run and jump into the car, make sure Viola gets in too (which can probably kill you). Once everyone is in speed off to the Saints hide out. Once arriving at the Saints hide out you will be given a cut scene of Cyrus Temple making a public appearance, which ends the mission.
After completing this mission there will be STAG infantry around the patrolling and such just like the Silwater PD, and the Syndicate gangs.
After you rudely interrupt a staked game of chess between Pierce and Oleg, its time to clear out teh base and go into hiding with a anti-gang force with tricked out space age shit, it seems reasonable. You don’t do anything boring you will be running interference.
First, head off to a near by STAG facility. Push through the facility’s defenses and steal a VTOL. You can either run through, or kill everyone then walk in, do what you want. Once inside the VTOL, you will be shown how to take off and fly around, its pretty easy to fly just hard to get use to. When flying the VTOL there are two modes: jet and hover. Once inside fly off to get STAG’s attention. To do this fly off to one of the many STAG bases and destroy anything that is marked (It is easier to destroy the bases in hover mode). Once the first base is done you’ll get a call from Pierce that they are at a road block and need help to get moving. Fly over there and take more marked targets, to clear the road. Once its clear. Head back to the city and take out the last remaining bases. If you ever need to bail out of the VTOL or leave it for what ever reason, there are more VTOL’s at the bases so just get to the bases, hijack another one and carry on. Once all three bases are destroyed, you’ll get a call from Oleg needing an assistance. Head off to the park and help Oleg by destroying the marked targets. Once Oleg is in a good stats, you’ll over hear STAG’s radio that a surveillance aircraft would have entered Stilwater air space. Guess what you have to do. Speed of to intercept the aircraft. Once getting near it you’ll run into some STAG air fighters, take them out then proceed to take out the air craft. Its a good idea to be in jet mode to shoot down the air craft because the aircraft seems to move faster and is sometimes out of range your weapons. You can lock onto the aircraft but it is hard to tell if you have a lock because the aircraft is so large that the lock on box will could be off your screen, just food for thought.
After destroying the surveillance aircraft the mission is done.
More missions dealing with STAG, to really show that the Saints aren’t to be messed with.
Yep that’s right you have to deal with this god dammed actor……again.
After accepting the mission via your phone, get over to the comic store. Once arriving at the comic store you’ll get a cut scene of Pierce telling you a plan to get STAG’s attention via Nyte Blayde.
After the cut scene you’ll find yourself in some strange attire, but Viola’s is just awesome ;P. Grab any car really, make sure Viola gets in with ya and drive off to the PR Center. Once arriving at the PR Center, put your piece away and get inside, yes weapons cannot be shown, your under cover. Once inside go to the reception desk, and check in. Once that well and done go up one of the stair cases in the back of the entrance hall, down that walkway and up another set of stairs and continue to an elevator. After the transition walk into the open doors for a cut scene of you knocking out Birk and taking him captive (GLITCH: After this cut scene you could be spawned in without Birk on your back and that you will get continues transition motions, just shut down and restart your system, ending the mission and trying again will result in the same problem. This happened to me on the 360). With Birk on your back and a gun in one hand shoot your way to the elevator. After the elevator transition, you find your self in an office room with a bunch of cubical’s and STAG infantry. Take out the STAG if you rush forward you could be easily overwhelmed. Once this room is good head toward the next elevator, STAG soldiers could be spawning inside be ready. You’ll find your self back in the entrance hall, Fight your way through the infantry and riot control soldiers, to the bottom floor and into another elevator. You’ll find your self in a parking garage. Move over to the Infuego and put Birk in the back seat, and you’ll get an animation of you hold Birk at gun point forcing him into the car, (If you have duel pistols, you see that you’ll be using both hands on one pistol, but another pistol will be there pointing to the side, kinda odd). Once Birk is inside get in the driving seat and get the hell outta there, Be ready there’s a STAG ambush out side. Once outside head off the Saints HQ. Once arriving at the HQ the mission is complete.
Its time to piss off STAG (Who are already pissed enough)
After activating the mission go to Saints HQ. Once there you’ll get a cut scene of you getting ready to mess with STAG, and Pierce and Oleg’s chess game ending in another draw.
After the cut scene you’ll spawn in with Pierce mocking your ability to throw bottles. Once ready grab a car and drive to the PR Center. Once there use the Molotov’s and destroy the two hanging banners over the entrance. Once the banners are burning get back in your car and get back to HQ. DO NOT HIT ANY OF THE BROKEN DOWN CARS IN FRONT OF HQ YOU WILL DIE! Once back in HQ you will find your self on a different floor with a bunch of weapons and weapon crates around, and your party quests are showing up soon. If you don’t have one already grab an RPG to destroy the broken down cars, You’ll see why you cant hit them when you do. I suggest not to shoot the car right away, let STAG build up a little bit, then shoot them. After the multiple explosions, just stay here and defend the north side. Eventually Viola will need your help at the South Side of the building. Turn around and go down the hallway and help Viola. After that you’ll find your self faced with more STAG, but more car bombs . Do the same thing let them build, then knock them down. Then just defend the South side from infantry and snipers. Sooner or later you will need to go back to the north side to destroy tanks. After that Pierce will arrive and will need help getting back to the HQ. Head down the elevator and get over to pierce quickly, if he dies you fail the mission. Best way to do this is to just sprint through the gun fire that seems to be coming from every where and spam grenades. Once you got Pierce retreat back to the HQ. Once inside you’ll be given your new toy, the SA-3 Airstrike. With this special weapon you can laze targets for an airstrike to come down and light up the area. Using the airstrike defend NQ from tanks, ground infantry, and VTOL’s. Eventually STAG will get inside the observation deck (the floor your on). Turn around and make them bleed. Once they are dealt with go back to defending the north side. Eventually you will need to use an elevator and go up to the penthouse. Inside the penthouse go to Shaundi who is on the Heli-pad. Once at the helipad you’ll get a cut scene with you meeting Cyrus face to face. After this cut scene you will have to decide either to give Birk to Shaundi or Cyrus. Giving him to Shaundi, will give yo Birk and Nyte Blayde as homies. Giving him to Cyrus will allow you to completely take over a neighborhood. NOTE: Cyrus says you have 60 seconds to decide, You legit have 60 seconds to decide. If you wait out the clock you’ll just let Birk go, and it will count as if you gave him toe Shaundi. What ever you chose the mission will end with this. Cyrus (and Birk if you gave him to him) will run into a Condor, and Cyruse will order the nearby VTOL’s to open fire. The VTOL’s will then begin firing as soon as the Condor bugs off. You must now run and jump off the helipad and base jump to the ground.
After doing this you will be given a cut scene of the VTOL’s firing on the Penthouse, and Cyrus giving the order to capture Shaundi.
