New Game
Prepare for your return to Stilwater.
You start in prison, but no one stays in
there forever, right?
Load Game
Load a previously saved game and return to the
streets of Stilwater to continue your reign
over the city.
Multiplayer
Saints Row 2 supports cooperative
multiplayer online. Players can drop directly
into a Co-op game and drop out when they finish
a mission. Any money or items you earn will be
carried over into your single player game. If
you beat a new mission in
Co-op, you’ll be given the
option to auto-complete the
mission when you reach that
point in your own single
player game.
In addition, up to twelve
players can play against
each other in competitive
matches online.

7
Strong Arm
In Strong Arm, two teams fight for control
of the neighborhood. To win, earn cash to
buy out the neighborhood. Cash is earned
by participating in activities and killing
opponents. Tagging spots in the level offer
bonuses which can tip the scales in the
match.
Gangsta Brawl
Gangsta Brawl is a mode in which the goal
is to kill as many of the opposing players as
you can. The Player or Team with the highest
score at the end of the match is the winner.

Earning Respect
Respect
Respect is used to play through Missions and
Strongholds. Respect is earned by completing
Activities and Diversions, and by killing rival
Gang Members.
Style
Buying new clothes and items for your crib
gives you Style Points. The more Style Points
you have the bigger your Respect multiplayer
becomes.
NOTE: Wearing specific clothing is not required
to get the Respect bonus. Simply owning the
items is enough.

Diversions
11
Diversions are cash and Respect rewards
that are given to you by playing the game
creatively. Experiment with different modes
of combat, driving, and interacting with
your environment to find all the available
diversions.
Activities
Crowd Control
Earn money as a bodyguard by
keeping obnoxious fans away
from celebrities -- by any
means necessary.

demolition derby. Earn money after each round
to better equip your ride.
Drug Trafficking
Ride shotgun and protect a drug dealer as they
drive over Stilwater and make deals with their
unsavory clientele.
Escort
You are the personal driver for a high-class
hooker. Your job is to evade the paparazzi who
want to snap photos of the people who are in
need of her services.
Fight Club
Step into the ring and join the most violent
fights in the city. Brawl your way to the top to
earn money and Respect.
Fuzz

become a reality TV star on FUZZ, Stilwater’s
#1 TV show. Stop crime as sensationally as
possible to score the highest ratings in town.
Heli Assault
Use a decommissioned attack chopper and rain
death from above on your rivals.
Trail Blazing

13
Give new meaning to the term ‘burnout’ while
wearing a flame suit as you drive around
Stilwater on a four wheeler. The more damage
you create, the more time you have to cause
some heavy-duty trouble.
Insurance Fraud
Play in traffic for fun and profit! Fake an
injury and try to score some free cash.
Mayhem
Take to the streets of Stilwater and go on a
violent rampage. Just think of it as slash-and
burn agriculture with more explosions.
Septic Avenger
Devalue property value in Stilwater as you
spray the contents of a septic truck all
over town. Everyone loves a nice shade of
brown…
Snatch
This is how life should be. Go around town and
murder rival pimps, recruit their hos, and
build up a stable of your own.
Taking Control

14
Fists
Sometimes you have to let your fists do the
talking. Primary Attack (the Right Mouse
button) and Alternate Attack (the Left Mouse
button) allow you to throw punches. You can
also hold either button to charge the attack,
resulting in a more powerful strike. Pressing
both the Left Mouse button and the Right
Mouse button at the same time will block enemy
attacks. Perform deadly combos by alternating
your attacks rapidly.
Weapons
You’ll come across, or purchase, all kinds of
guns and melee weapons in Stilwater. To pick
up a weapon, simply walk over it. If you’re
carrying a weapon of a different type, hold
the E Key to swap them. Press the Q key to
bring up the inventory and use the Mouse
Wheel to select a weapon. Pressing the
Right Mouse button fires the gun, and the
Left Mouse button performs a melee attack.
Vehicles
Acquiring a new ride is as easy to stepping
up to a car door and pressing the F key.
Press the W key to accelerate, the S Key to
move in reverse, and the Spacebar to use the
handbrake. Any car can be stolen, though
jacking some vehicles will cause the cops or a
rival gang to become aggressive.

15
Items
Sometimes you just need a little bit extra to
make it through the day or a mission. There
are food and liquor stores scattered around
town that offer a variety of eats, drinks, and
smokes. Chow down on some food to refill your
health quickly.
Navigating Stilwater
Press Tab to bring up a map of Stilwater. Areas
the Saints control are highlighted purple. In
these areas you can find gang members who you
can recruit to aid you in combat. To set a GPS
waypoint, move the cursor to where you want
to travel and press the E key. A green trail
will show you the route to get there.
