The Hounfor is a vehicle in Saints Row 2.
Overview[]
This vehicle is featured in several cutscenes and The General uses it as his office, traveling where he needs to go around Stilwater. In its only mission-scripted appearance, it appears to be heavily armored, but is otherwise similar to the Status Quo in durability (6000<7000). It has side lights which light up at night, appearing as the eyes of the skulls.
It has bad handling, slow acceleration and an average top speed.
Obtaining[]
During "The Shopping Maul" mission:
- Shoot the Hounfor until the driver gets out, then enter it.
- Exit mission at any time, it does not matter whether the car is moved or not, after ending the mission Playa remains in the Hounfor.
- This works using any Mission Exit Glitch.[1]
- The vehicle and The General are invincible during the mission, even if the vehicle appears damaged.
- The General can be pulled out by Homies entering the back seat. Once out of the Hounfor, The General attacks instead of fleeing, but is invincible.
- After the bodyguards have been killed, The General heads towards the mall. If he enters the mall, the Hounfor explodes.
