Tips | Walkthrough Saints Row IV Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Before you proceed to the walkthrough, there's some things that you should know about it.
Each main mission has markers indicating locations that you need to go to or perform an action in. There're referred to as "star" or "hand".
Saints Row IV has many minor encounters, which are pointless to describe step-by-step, especially since not all of them look the same. You can, however, use some general tips.
When fighting, try to stay mobile at all times so as to avoid incoming missiles. If your health bar drops too low, collect health pickups which are often dropped by killed enemies.
Using super powers is of utmost importance - they will very often save the day and help speed up eliminating enemies.
There are no specified weapons that you should be using at all times. If your enemies get too close, use a shotgun. If you prefer ranged combat, use a sniper rifle or an assault rifle, or even an SMG. If you're facing a group of enemies, and they're close to each other - use the grenade launcher.
If you want to lose aliens chasing you, catch up with a yellow orb that's usually somewhere nearby (look for it on the minimap). The orb's pretty fast, but if you use Super Sprint when you're just behind it, you won't lose stamina, so catching it shouldn't be any trouble.
