Saints Row Hints on Playstation 4 (PS4)

Here are our Hints for Saints Row on Playstation 4. The most trustworthy items get the most 'thumbs up' from our users and appear nearer the top!

Surviving intense gun fights

Hints

To survive intense gun fights you should dodge often, use takedowns, and rely on the Tough Mother and Transfusion skills to stay healthy

Since Saints Row throws a lot of enemies at you at once which can become out of hand quickly, you can avoid a lot of damage by constantly using dodge rolls. 

If you are facing a lot of enemies or you don’t have a takedown to hand, you can activate the tough mother skill (a skill you get at level 6), to negate staggering effects and also gain full temporary health.

You can also use transfusion (gained in level 11) to gain health for yourself and your allies when you inflict damage. 

Focus on the main story in the beginning

Hints

This will enable you to get into a good position to tackle some of the side objectives and missions once you beat the ‘Take Me To Church’ mission.'

Complete criminal ventures

Hints

You can receive big payouts once complete their ventures when it comes to XP and money.

Finish threats

Hints

The threats in each district will be uncovered as you place criminal ventures. Completing these rewards you with an increase in venture income.

Leave your game on to rack up venture income

Hints

You will have to be in-game, not in a menu, so you can go to the Saints HQ and check back in every 30 minutes to an hour to transfer the money into your personal account.

Place Criminal Ventures strategically on the Empire map

Hints

Criminal Ventures are establishments that allow the gang to run illegal ventures such as protection rackets and smuggling.

They cannot be relocated once founded; therefore you must take care of their location. 

Send away allies when they not needed

Hints

Having all of them running around could lead to you having to babysit them.
Most vehicles are only two-seaters, therefore they will split up and drive in their own cars. 

If they die, you may not be in a position to revive them straight away as they have a 10-minute delay before they can be called in.

Set up appropriate skills before missions

Hints

In some scenarios in the game, you will be unable to change your skills, therefore you should check if all proper skills have been set up. 

You should try to use more offensive ones that rely on buffing you or dealing damage directly. 

Do not ignore challenges

Hints

Challenges help with unlocking new perks: equippables that grant a variety of bonuses and benefits such as increased XP, ammo pickups, and more NPC ally damage).

Frequently check the cash app to get money instantly

Hints

When you begin investing in criminal ventures, don’t forget the cash app, as this app generates money over time and has a cap on how much money you can store there.

Therefore, by moving the cash over, it will provide you with a fair sum to spend on new ventures, guns, and vehicle upgrades and it will reset the app.

Kill Wanted targets if other money-making opportunities dry up

Hints

You should check the wanted app for contracts, as they can be worth a fair amount of money and involve driving to a specific location to pick up a vehicle before you head out to kill your target.

Call for backup if you find yourself outnumbered

Hints

You can call a friend if you are pinned down by many enemies, by accessing the contacts section to summon Neena, Eli or Kev.

You can also request that the Saints deliver your favourite vehicle to your location if a quick getaway is needed to be made
