MAIN MENU
CAMPAIGN/LOAD GAME
No longer content with merely being criminal masterminds, the Saints have leveraged their notoriety into celebrity status. They earn millions through lunch boxes, bobble-heads, and reality TV shows emblazoned with the Saints logo. Bad luck sent the Saints into the path of The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns all over the globe. One botched job later and the Saints have been thrust back into the world of sex, violence, and betrayal. They refuse to bow down to The Syndicate and travel to Steelport, a city that makes Sodom look like Topeka. The Saints are out for blood, and theyre going to tear down The Syndicate brick by brick.

CELL PHONE

Battle throngs of gang members, zombies, and strippers in Whored Mode. Wave after wave of enemies will come at you, and you simply have to survive long enough to cut them down.

Purchasing stores or properties and playing Activities or Gang Operations increase your Hourly City Income. You can also transfer cash from your bank account to your wallet. EXTRAS Activate Cheats or view your Stats thus far.

RESPECT Respect is how you judge just how notorious of a name youre making for yourself. As you kill your enemies, complete missions or perform other in-game actions, you earn Respect. The more Respect you have, the higher your rank, and the more access you have to upgrades and other in-game features. You dont have to worry about spending Respect or keeping track of how much you have. As you gain Respect, you automatically gain rank, and in-game pop-ups will inform you when you have access to new abilities or can purchase certain things with money. FOLLOWERS When in a hood you own or after summoning backup, hold directional button to add Saints to your crew. You can have up to three Saints in your crew, and they will back you up in combat and ride with you in vehicles. These reinforcements can keep you alive by distracting or killing the enemy, so ride out with a posse whenever you can. CUSTOMIZATION Customization isnt just about a pretty face or a new pair of shoes. Customization allows you to make your character unique and your vehicles truly yours. Come up with a color scheme or gimmick and wear it with pride. In addition to that warm feeling, Customization gives you Respect, too. A portion of the purchase price of the clothes, tattoos, weapons, or other options you buy goes toward Respect. Visit the shops in the game to get a quick Respect boost and upgrade your fashion sense. ACTIVITIES Activities are some of the craziest over the top gameplay that the Saints use to take territory from the Syndicate while earning Cash and Respect. Youll be introduced to them by your contacts or you can search the city and find them all. As you complete Activities new ones will unlock to increase the challenge and reward. DIVERSIONS One way to earn Respect is by completing diversions. Diversions encompass a variety of actions, from drifting in a vehicle, killing gang members, getting headshots, or base-jumping. The more you do these diversions, the more Respect you earn, so experiment and have fun. HIJACKING CARS Stealing cars is a vital part of the game. Choose your car carefully. Some cars are slow, while others are extremely fast. Others may corner well, but have weak armor. Press the button to hijack a car. You will pull out the owner of the car, if there is one, and hop into the drivers seat. AGGRESSIVE HIJACK In a hurry? Hold the button and press the button to perform an aggressive hijack. Rather than walking around a car and opening the door, you will leap through the nearest window and directly into the drivers seat. The driver will be forcibly ejected from the car, leaving you free to gun it and speed off. HOSTAGE DIVERSION If you manage to hijack a car that has a person in the passenger seat, youre in luck! You can now partake in a Hostage Diversion. Take off at high speeds and evade the police until the hostage coughs up some cash. If you slow down, the hostage may escape.

WREAKING HAVOC IN STEELPORT

THE BASICS
HEALTH Your health bar wraps around the top half of the weapon HUD. The red bar signifies your current level of health, and recharges over time after being depleted. If your health bar completely disappears, you die and wake up outside of a hospital. WALKING AND SPRINTING Use the Left Stick to get around Steelport. Tilt the stick a little to walk or a lot to run. Press and hold the button to sprint. You can only sprint for a limited period of time before you get tired. The yellow bar around the weapon palette in the lower right corner of the screen is your sprint meter. When that meter completely decreases, you have to stop sprinting until you are no longer tired. CITY TAKEOVER Steelport is owned by the Syndicate and you need to take it away from them block by block. This is done by playing Activities, defeating Gang Operations, and by Purchasing stores and properties. Each time to take over more territory you earn Hourly Income that is accrued in your bank account and available on your cell phone in the CASH menu to be laundered directly to you every in-game hour. WEAPONS Hold the button to bring up the weapon HUD. Use the Left Stick to cycle through weapons. Use the directional buttons to select a grenade to equip. USING THE MAP Access the map from the Cell Phone menu. The map displays your current cash, hourly income, and whats near your current location. Press the button to set a GPS target and the map will automatically generate a route for you to follow.
