Surprisingly, there aren’t too many unique side missions that inhabit the lands ofSaints Row. However, the side quests that are present can be a lot of fun, and anopportunity for playersto unlock new and exciting rewards, like strange vehicles,weird weapons, and a whole lot of cash and XP to roll around in. Side quests aren’t the same as other open-world games, in which the player meets unique and interesting characters to give them even more interesting quests.

Players will have tocontinue through the story, earn money, and invest in Ventures. These Ventures are the way that players can unlock side content, like quests and missions. A lot of the side quests hidden inSaints Row(2022) arerepeated throughout the in-game world, but they can still be a lot of fun, with a lot of rewards to them.
5Choplifting Missions
Few things combine better thanSaints Rowgames and utter mayhem. The Choplifting Missions seem to be right at home in theSaints Rowreboot. These missions require the player to lay aside their firearms, and love for murder and seek a far more skillful task of aerial maneuverability. However, players need not worry, as there is still plenty of mayhem to be had whilst in the air. This, of course, comes from thebizarre nature of the contentsof the mission.
Players need to use a helicopter with a giant magnet and attach it to important objects. Once successfully stolen, players need to fly back to the target in a certain amount of time, all whilst ensuring the objects remain in one piece. Some objects may be heavier than others, so some heists will be more difficult than others. To make matters harder, some missions have Bonus Objectives, meaning that to get the most rewards, players will have to task themselves with completing specific conditions.
4@tcha Missions
In typicalSaints Rowfashion, the @tcha Missions fit perfectly into the wackiness of the game. These missions are the modernization ofSaints Rowand involve the player roaming around to leave bad reviews on popular gang locations. The reason players do this isn’t just to be horrible to compete with gangs, but to invoke the wrath of waves of enemies that the player will eliminate and destroy.
There’s a system to these missions, and players will want to aim for a 1 Star Review for the best rewards possible. Scoring a 1 Star Review means that players have succeeded in eliminating as many gang members as possible. The rewards for the @tcha Missions involve new weapon decals, weapon patterns, $10,000, 2,500 XP, and a whole lot of killing.
3Riding Shotgun Missions
These sets of missions bring a new meaning to the term “Riding Shotgun”. Players will be tasked withprotecting and accompanying a driver, who is currently on their way to a dangerous meeting. Players should always expect things to go south, and rather quickly. Players will have to help during the getaway, by using their arsenal in the passenger seat to shoot at drivers, gunmen, and explode vehicles and tires, to do anything to stop the enemy gangs from defeating the player’s driver.

Players can experience these missions both in the passenger seat or on the roof of the car. Like the other side quests, players can experience Bonus Objectives, which allow them to earn bonus XP, cash, as well as mods and patterns for their weapons. Taking out vehicles, tires, and enemies will be an easy task with a great selection of weaponry.
2Pony Express Missions
Players may want to be the Boss and lead an empire of Saints, but to do that, they’ll have to start small with these side quests. The Pony Express Missions see the player take on the role of a courier, venturing on the open roads of dirt off-roading to gun through the treacherous territories that exist past both gang and police blockades.
Players will need to get to their destination before the time limit runs out, whilst also making sure they can stay in one piece. Some of the Bonus Objectives require the player to get Airtime, whilst also sideswiping enemy cars.Special vehicles can be obtainedas rewards in these missions.
1Wingsuit Saboteur Missions
Players will need to master both the art of stealth and the new inclusion of the wingsuit. The wingsuit is a new addition toSaints Row(2022) and a lot of fun in the open world. These Wingsuit Saboteur Missionsinvolve the player glidingover to a multitude of rooftops to planting explosives all around a radio tower, before detonating them in a beautiful and mayhem-induced blast. Players get to experience a plethora of kills, both in and out of stealth, as they will need to eliminate all guards along the way.
Some of these Wingsuit Saboteur Missions also feature Bonus Objectives, meaning that players can certainly earn far greater rewards based on their skills. With so many challenges atop an already challenging set of missions, players might find themselves rather entertained by these subterfuge and stealth events.
Saints Rowis currently available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
