Co-op is a multiplayer game mode in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row IV, Saints Row: Gat out of Hell and Saints Row (reboot).
Overview[]
In Saints Row, Co-op is limited to only a handful of missions that are specifically created for Co-op play.
Saints Row 2 onwards can be played entirely in Co-op, including free roam and all missions and activities, which have differences to accommodate the second player.
All games have achievements that can only obtained by playing Co-op. Some of the achievements require doing all the missions or activities with a Co-op partner. In those cases, it is usually easier to start a new game to ensure both players are at the same completion level.
If the Co-op partner uses cheats, both players save files are marked as cheating.
Diversions[]
Saints Row has no Co-op Diversions.
Cat & Mouse places both players in pre-determined vehicles and one of them attempts to catch the other. In Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third, this diversion is activated by one player killing the other. In Saints Row IV, this diversion is activated from an Activity marker.
Death Tag is available in Saints Row 2 and Saints Row IV. In the former it is activated by one player killing the other, while in the latter it is activated from an Activity marker.
Stuntmen is included in the Corporate Warfare DLC. After achieving at least one silver Diversion star in a Driving Stunt while playing a Co-op game, a prompt is displayed to start the Diversion.
Saints Row[]
There are three Co-op missions: Turbulence, Mob Rule, and the DLC mission Heist, added by the The Gankster Pack DLC.
Achievements[]
- Bulletproof 10
- Complete Co-op level Turbulence at the highest difficulty level.

Saints Row 2[]
Unlike Saints Row, the entire game can be played in Co-op mode, and some missions and activities have minor differences from the single player versions.
Missions[]
Some missions played in Co-op contain differences to accommodate the Co-op partner.
- Appointed Defender
- In addition to Johnny Gat, Legal Lee also becomes a Homie, and must also escape in order for the mission to succeed.
- Orange Threat Level
- The guest replaces Pierce as a homie, and the radio event doesn't take place.
- Visiting Hours
- The host must wheel Johnny Gat out of the hospital and protect him from the Ronin while the guest must get to the rooftop and obtain the Horizon before flying it down to the parking lot for the host to load Gat aboard.
Activities[]
Some activities played in Co-op contain differences to accommodate the Co-op partner.
- Escort
- The guest acts as the hooker, and must use the right control stick to touch the sensitive spot, then use the left stick to hit up, down, right, left in the correct order to gain pleasure.
- FUZZ
- This is the same, but the cameraman and the police officers only follow the host, often leaving the guest to find their own car.
- Septic Avenger
- The player who activates the activity is in charge of the stop start of the truck and uses the rear sprayer while the other controls the front sprayer.
- Snatch
- Hos can be collected separately, reducing the time it takes.
- Drug Trafficking
- The host drives the car to the locations while the guest rides shotgun.
- Trail Blazing
- The guest is given infinite Molotovs in order to score more time. As long as the host has a good grasp of control of the Toad, this one is a walkover.
Metagame[]
The Ultor Exposed DLC includes a metagame to compete to achieve the higher score when playing missions.
