Revision as of 16:26, 17 February 2018

"Stacking the Deck" is the first mission of the Westside Rollerz story arc in Saints Row.

Aside from macho bullshit, I haven't heard much. The only interesting news I got is that a shipment of high performance cars is coming in today. It's not much, I know, so we're gonna make the best of it. Jack the truck carrying the cars before it makes its delivery and take it to Samson. He'll load up the cars with a few surprises, then finish the delivery. Now get outta here before someone sees us.
— Lin to The Protagonist, during their first meeting.

Overview

In the first mission of the Westside Rollerz story arc, Lin meets The Protagonist in secrecy outside the Ultor Dome in the Arena District. She explains that she hasn't found too much information on the gang, aside from a delivery of high-performance vehicles arriving today. She asks The Protagonist to steal the Peterliner carrying the vehicles and deliver them to Samson, who loads them up with "a few surprises" before finishing the delivery.

The Protagonist obliges; stealing the Peterliner and delivering all the vehicles to a garage in the Saint's Row District, all while avoiding hostile Westside Rollerz gang members, and is paid $500 cash for helping.

Story

Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available on the 'Story' page, accessed from the 'INFO' tab of the pause menu.

Lin, the Saints' expert on the Westside Rollerz, informed you that the Rollerz had a shipment of high-performance cars coming in. Acting on her tip, you intercepted and hijacked the delivery truck en route, delivering the goods to Samson instead. The cars were then delivered back to the Rollerz- but not before Samson made a few surprise modifications.

Gameplay

Stacking the Deck - Do enough damage to the truck and it will pull over

This mission is available anytime after completing the 3rd Street Saints prologue mission "Reclamation". As the first mission in the Westside Rollerz story arc, it is a generally easy mission.

Get a car and intercept the truck.[1]

The Peterliner is already traveling north on the freeway in the Arena District. If it reaches the Price Mansion, the mission fails.

That's the truck. Looks like there's an escort.[2]

The only minor challenge in this mission is the escort, which consists of one Westside Rollerz vehicle accompanying the Peterliner. Killing the escort is not necessary.

Hijack the truck![3]
HUD: "Truck Cab" health bar.
Do enough damage to the truck and it will pull over.
— On-screen message[4]

The easiest method to hijack the Peterliner is to drive in front of it and shoot the driver through the windscreen.

Get in the truck.[5]

Once the driver is dead the vehicle pulls over and can be entered.

Drive the truck to the garage.[6]

After successfully hijacking the Peterliner, Westside Rollerz Notoriety increases to level 3, and it must be driven to a marker on the exit of the freeway at Mission Beach in the Saint's Row District.

Upon delivery of the vehicle, $500 is awarded.

Failure

The mission can be failed by getting smoked or busted, destroying the Peterliner,[7] or allowing it to escape.[8]
