Saints Row: The Third/Act 1

Your team minus Josh Birk starts off in jail. Morning Star team comes in to bring your team to meet Loren. He proposes that The Saints work together with their team but they flatly rejected the offer leading Johnny Gat to take on the cockpit while you and Shaundi escapes the room.

Airplane battle
Shaundi wants to help Gat but the door won't open and the bad guys in red and black comes to attack you and your partner. If you use light attack we'll lead to a quick time response while heavy attack is more straight forward. And yes, the people on the radio can be goofy and entertaining. On the second part of the section, you and the bad guy with the gun will hit a bit of turbulence so attack him to acquire a pistol. Shaundi will also automatically have that gun too.

Next is going through the cargo area. You can grab the nearest person as a shield while shooting at enemies. Your shield could be shot down completely, thrown or there's a button which snaps it neck. Ouch! If your aim assist is on, shooting should be simple to control as you have to just hold the button to auto aim the person and press another button to shoot, depending on the controls of the console. A cutscene ensues as Johnny Gat's fate is unknown, presume to be dead. Then as cars and items are falling out, you and Shaundi falls out too.

I'm Free... Free Falling
Given that you've falling at such a great height you have to handle lots of sequence before this sequence end. A reference to Lego City Undercover in which Chase has to go down a lengthy fall before continuing this journey. Anyway, this is one of two sequences you have to go through. First take care of the guy first with a quick time. Then shoot about three guys, both up and down. Then shoot the boxes and cars until you reach Shaundi. But it's not over yet. After the dialogue, (well Shaundi is not exactly faithful with you) you drop Shaundi from the parachute then shoot the window for the next cutscene. On the next sequence, shoot a few more men in the air from the top and button, take care of one more person, then shoot cars and boxes until you reach Shaundi… again. She's not too happy but you did save her from certain death for now.

We're Going To Need Guns
You won't see where they land but they start off somewhere in the middle of Steelport. Go straight and take the car. Go on your GPS and select "Friendly Fire", the only one on the north area of the map, somewhere in the middle. In "Friendly Fire", Shaundi gives you cash and you just have to upgrade your guns. Just upgrade the first gun you have because it's the cheapest with $100 for either a better upgrade or buying a new pistol next to it. Go back in the car and you and Shaundi have a banter with each other, letting you know that they could stay at Shaundi's ex-boyfriend apartment and Pierce coming over with the reinforcements. Anyway, follow the GPS for a gun fight with the military, thankfully, they're not hard to defeat, considering your first time around.

After taking care of the military with the target signs on the map, go check inside and Shaundi will mention a gadget that shoot rockets from the sky, guided or not. Hold your ground until the cutscene arrives. Grab the gadget as you automatically go into this high sky projection aiming down like a map but quite close and grey color theme around it. Take down the tanks and jeeps shooting Pierce's helicopters. When it's over, run over to the helicopter for the last sequence. On the side with Shaundi, you just have to take down some helicopters until you reach your destination. You can take a breather at this point or continue on with learning the basics before deciding to dominate Steelport which is like a fictional version of New York that's broken down to three big islands connected by a few bridges. Lastly, if you get a cell phone call, answer it and try to handle the survival activities which will be explained in the "Activities" page.
