Missions provide the narrative of Saints Row.
- For missions in other games in the Saints Row series, see Missions.
Overview[]
Missions are essentially levels that allow progress through the storyline of Saints Row.
Strongholds, or "Stronghold Missions", are non-storyline missions which unlock additional neighborhoods. Strongholds silently become available after some missions, must be completed in order to unlock the final mission of each arc, and have a separate map filter.
After completing three missions and a Stronghold in the prologue (which all serve as a tutorial), the game's missions become separated over three different story arcs which concentrate on the 3rd Street Saints' efforts on conquering the other three gangs that own Stilwater: the Westside Rollerz, Los Carnales, and the Vice Kings.
Respect is a form of currency that is used to start missions, and can be accumulated by playing Activities; which also unlock cash and other bonuses upon completion. Overall, there are 36 missions in Saints Row.
