Saints Row: The Third – Activites [Guide]

After the “Return to Steelport” mission you will be given a number of mission’s that give you an introduction to new activities. These activities will be given depending on the person (Kenzie, Angel, or Zimos). Kenzie’s will often be about hacking the Deckers, Angel’s are aimed to train you to fight Killbane, and Zimos’s is about hurting the Morning Star’s prostitution business, and getting his back up and running.

You do not have to do these activities the order I do, you can go in any order you wish but we’ll guide you through all 3 characters missions.

Lets Start with Kenzie’s

Kenzie

Mission: Cyber Blazing

The goal of this activity is to pass through all the gates before time runs out. In this activity you will drive a cyber bike through a tube avoiding fire walls, and destroying tanks. Hitting a fire wall will lose you time bonuses, and destroying tanks will earn you time bonuses. Time bonuses are earned through going through gates. Dialog during this activity is pretty enjoyable to listen to.

Completing the mission will give you cash, respect, and two more instances. Completing the other two instances will earn you the cyber bike.

Mission: Mayhem

The goal of this activity is to destroy anything in sight. Sadly you will only be given poor equipment to do such. Honestly just spam grenades and you’ll be done quickly. Keep an eye out for fences, they seem to be endangered because, there are so little of them. To make up for the lack of fences their are police and Deckers coming at you, so you can still get some points.

Completing this mission will earn you cash, respect, and two more instances. The high level instances will allow you to use RPG’s.

Mission: Guardian Angel

Just like with Pierce you must protect Kenzie as she runs from the Deckers to safety. You will start out sniping instead of following so be ready. Remember to compensate your shots for time when following, unless the RPG is level 4 then you are able to lock on.

Completing this mission will earn you cash, and respect. There are no more of these instances.

Glitch (Unconfirmed): If you are using the “No vehicle damage” cheat your helicopter won’t move when its time to follow, and you must either take the cheat off, or restart the mission with the cheat off. This is unconfirmed because this happened, to me and I don’t know if  this happens to anyone else, just something I feel like this should be out there.

Mission: Heli Assaualt

In this mission you are to protect Kenzi as she goes around town, hacking into Decker sites. You will be given a vulture helicopter with a low fire rate machine gun, and multiple firing rocket launchers, until is overheats.  It is easier to use the machine gun, because the rockets don’t lock on and take some time to get to their destination. Also 2 shots from the machine gun will destroy a car and is faster than the rockets. Sometimes a heli will show up after the site is hacked, it is easy to take out, just shoot it a few times and your safe.

Completing this mission will give you cash and respect. It will also unlock two more instances.

Mission: Phone Phreak

This is just a cut scene, about Kenzi compiling the information she has acquired, and that you should dump your phone because, you can easily be followed (screw that).

Angel

Now to move on to Angel’s Activities. His activities will be basically “training” you to be ready to fight Killbane.

Mission: Insurance Fraud

One of the most annoying activity in my opinion, Angel hopes to simulate the pain you’ll go through when fighting Killbane, so lets play in traffic. This is a classic from SR2 when all you do is jump in front of traffic. There are basic controls in this game the attack buttons to “Take a Dive”, and driving controls, note that you are not allowed to use weapons in this activity. Taking a drive will earn you money which you need a certain amount to complete the stage. In this activity you will spawn in close to a car, and you will have to drive off to an area. In this area you are allowed to dive and gain money. Once in this area two more areas will show up, these areas will give you extra adrenalin. Adrenalin is used so that your body, in these wonderful SR physics, to fly into the air. AS soon as you gain enough money before time runs out the activity is over and the mission is complete. Completing this mission unlocks two more instances.

Mission: Trail Blazing

Another activity that I didn’t enjoy as much as I could. In the hope of simulating the heat you’ll go through when fighting Killbane, he wants you to light over people on fire?So he wants you to do this. Another classic from SR2 all you do drive around on a four wheeler, in a fire suit on fire I might add, with Molotovs, racing against time through gates. Do you need anything better? Setting citizens on fire will gain you extra time when you reach your next time gate. This activity is much easier in co-op considering one person can foucs on throwing molotovs while the other drives. After completing this mission two more instances are unlocked.

Mission: Eye of the Tiger

In the hope Angel wants you to over come fear, this is probably not the best way to do it. This is pretty much escort only not as god dame annoying. This is basically you drive around with a god dame tiger in your car instead of hos. I prefer the hos, mostly because they wont tear my head off if I piss them off. Basically you drive around and try not to piss off the tiger, if you do though you have to power slide of 1 second. The only way you can fail this mission is if you you die. You die by pissing off the tiger and he tears you to shreds. You can PO the tiger in many ways: not driving, having animal activists piss it off for you, or crashing too much. As soon as your courage meter is filled completely the activity is finished. After completing this mission two more instances will be unlocked.

Mission: Face Your Fear

This is just another one of thous missions where its just a cut scene.  I personally like this one “A FUCKING TIGER!?!?” heh heh heh, love it. Note: All mission before this one must be completed before this one can be started.

Zimos

Last but certainly not least, Zimos. Zimos’s activities will be based around getting his Hoing business up, and hurting the morning stars business. Let us begin shall we?

Mission: Snatch

A little irritable at times, this is another activity carried over from SR2. This is when you spawn in a car with limited ammo, except for unlimited pistol, and you drive around taking hos from abusive pimps. Doing this will gain you notoriety so prepare for the worst. Remember upgraded weapons can be used during any activity so if you have level4 pistols this shouldn’t be a big problem. Basically grab the car (usually and Infuego) and drive it following the GPS navigation to a location where hos have been located. Once there a few thing may happen. You either have to kill two thugs and then recruit the hos, you could have to disable a limo and then recruit the hos, or it could be an ambush which then you have to kill all marked targets in order to recruit the hos. The objective it to capture enough hos. NOTE: You are only able to recruit three hos at a time, so this could take multiple trips. After completing this mission two more instances will be unlocked.

Mission: Ho Trafficing

If you ever played drug trafficking in SR2 you’ll have an easy time with this. This is the same exact thing of drug trafficking only differences are you are sell hos. Basically all you have to do is protect the dealer (Zimos) while he drives around Steelport selling his hos.  When protecting him sometimes the buyer is actually an undercover cop. When this happens you must kill the police that are tailing you to continue the activity. When doing this activity the Morning Star will be chasing you 24/7 so stay on your guard, Brutes also show up in these things so be aware. As soon as all the deals have been made you will have to protect Zimos as he drives “home” (A random spot in the city). Once he has driven “home” the mission is over. Upon completing this mission two more instances will be unlocked.

Mission: Escort

Okay I want to make this clear: I HATE THIS ACTIVITY! Probably the biggest one I hate doing. This mission is similar to Eye of the Tiger but has a few changes to it. In this activity you drive a ho around in the back of your car as she pleasures a random customer. What you have to do is keep the paparazzi (who I hate) away from you. If the paparazzi collects too much footage you lose. But that’s not all you have to do, no no no that would be too easy. You all so have to do some vehicle stunts.  You will be asked sometimes to either: do a power slide for 1 second, run someone over, get air time, go to a brothel or XXX theater, and probably something else, doing these will earn you extra pleasure. As soon as you fill up the pleasure bar you win. NOTE: On the mini map are the paparazzi vans, I believe they are a blue dot with a red zone around them, if your vehicle is in that red zone you will stop earning pleasure and start earning footage, lose them to start ganging pleasure again.
