#1 - Purple Ops | Walkthrough Saints Row IV Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The first mission will have you stopping terrorists from launching a nuclear bomb. After the introductory cutscene, you'll find yourself in a underground base.

Follow Asha until you reach the first enemy. He'll have his back towards you and you'll have to dispatch him quietly.

Approach him and press F (default) to perform an execution. Another enemy will appear afterwards, but this time use the shotgun to shoot him (it takes one shot to the head or several elsewhere to kill an opponent). To get a better aim, you can crouch by pressing CTRL, or zoom-in the camera with the right mouse button (RMB). When it's done, Asha will get to the door in front, so wait until she opens it and proceed to the next room.

Inside, there will be a larger group to get rid of. Use the assault rifle for that. Shoot the exploding barrels to eliminate the enemies quicker.

Follow the marker again, killing whoever gets in your way, until there is an explosion. The damage caused by it will block the path ahead, but Keith will open the door behind you. Go through and dispatch another wave of enemies, then make your way to the room on the left.

Approach the locked door and press E (default) to open it. Keep running towards the marker until you reach a room with several new enemies. Kill them with the assault rifle and use the stairs to get to the platform.

When you approach the closed door, you and Keith will take positions on the opposite sides. When you're ready, press E to force the door open and go inside. The room has four new enemies - for a few seconds, the game will go into a slow motion mode. Try to aim for the heads and kill the enemies with single shots.

Afterwards, approach the only door in the room until a you trigger a cutscene in which one of the terrorists pins you down to the ground. Don't worry, Asha will take care of it and you'll be up in no time. Chase after your target. Hold SHIFT to sprint.

A few moments later, a QTE (Quick Time Event) sequence will start. Follow the on-screen prompts. If a button is flashing, you need to press it repeatedly.

Once the QTE ends, you're going to need to deactivate the nuclear bomb, which had already been launched. Follow the marker and jump on the rocket.

This will trigger another QTE, but you'll also have to climb the rocket by pressing W. Same as before, follow the prompts until the sequence ends. The bomb will still detonate, but its radius will be much smaller and it won't cause any major damage - while you will safely land in the president's office.
