Saints Row 2
Cheat Codes/Hints
Defeating Maero
To defeat Maero the first time on top of his hideout, hit him once with an RPG. When scoring a direct hit, he will go on one knee and stay down. You can then shoot him until he is defeated. If he gets up, just shoot him again. To finish off Maero in the arena, use some of the rockets to blow up all the trucks except for his. Use extra rifle ammunition to shoot his Monster Truck.
Defeating Mr. Sunshine
To kill Mr. Sunshine in the factory, use a rocket on his voodoo doll to knock him down and cause damage. Hit the doll once to break his shield. You can then shoot him until he reaches the bottom floor. Note: If he completes his ritual with the voodoo doll, it will send you flying and do lots of damage.
Defeating Veteran Child
To kill Veteran Child in his club, just bring lots of ammunition. Use the stun grenades located around the pillars to separate him and Shaundi, then just run up and shoot him. Repeat this until he has been killed.
Drive on walls
Use any motorcycle (Prototype recommended) and drive at a wall. At the correct moment, do a wheelie and when both of the tires are on the wall, hold Up and hit the gas.
Easy "Going The Distance" achievement
Go to the Old Roller Mansion and find a person walking near the cliff. Go to that person and throw them off the cliff.
Go to the observatory where the binoculars and a hidden CD are located. Throw somebody there into or near the water to get an easy 207 respect, and unlock the achievement.
Play the "Crowd Control" mission until you get on the rooftop to protect your celebrity. Throw one of the attackers off the roof.
Easy "Soprano" achievement
Go to the music store and purchase the song "A-HA" under the rock section. Jump in a car and pause game play. Go to the radio option, add that song to your playlist, and save it. Resume the game and select the Myradio station. The song should play and achievement will unlock. It is rather amusing to hear your character sing along.
Easy money
Find and store a few armored trucks in your garage. When they are destroyed they will respawn in your garage again. Blow a truck up and you should get a decent amount of money. After collecting the money, go back to your garage and get the truck again. It may cost $600 for repairs but you should get at least $1,000 for destroying one.
To get easy money, rip out all parking meters and newspaper boxes you can find to get a few dollars. It takes a long time but all the saved money will be worth it some day.
Easy paintball mask
Go to the mall. Enter to the outfit shop and buy the slasher outfit. Then, go to your wardrobe. Take off everything and you will have the paintball mask. Note: You cannot change the color of the mask.
Easy Snatch activities
For easy completion of Snatch activities, use a Bear (the Police APC). It is virtually impossible to stop once moving because it is nearly invulnerable. It can drive over smaller cars and pickups, the chaingun has unlimited ammunition. It holds three passengers.
