Mayhem is an Activity in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third,[1] and Saints Row IV.
This article is about {{{this article is about}}}. For {{{for}}}, see [[{{{see}}}]]. |
Description
The goal of Mayhem is to do a certain amount of property damage before time runs out.
For the duration of the activities, all weapons have unlimited ammo. There are bonuses effect either for using a certain weapon or destroying a certain type of car, as well as for destroying various furniture in the activity-specific area.
This activity has an area limit, but destroying things outside the borders is still counted as long as The Protagonist remains in the radius of the area. Notoriety increases during gameplay, but is removed after exiting the activity. Combos are used to increase the amount of money received from destroying items. There is a timer for combos, which increases when more points are earned.
The timer stops when outside of the area, and that collision rules apply; only items that can be damaged outside of the activity may be damaged inside.

Tips
- Main article: Tips
- Destroy all objects, not just vehicles.
- Equip the rocket launcher and fire constantly.
- Go to intersections with more objects and vehicles.
- Keep moving instead of staying in one place.
Saints Row
- Take a Bulldozer to the Mayhem area, and run over anything that's linked, such as a chainlink fence. Since the Bulldozer is already extremely tough and police can't pull The Protagonist out, at least two levels can be completed before needing to get a new one.
- During Mayhem, Anchors often appear, perhaps in attempt to record crimes. They are worth more points than other vehicles.
Saints Row 2
- Finishing Insurance Fraud beforehand helps a lot because of the infinite sprint Unlockable.
- Hotels & Marina and Chinatown have many clusters of objects.
- Use a Bear, RPG Launcher, Tornado, EDF Scout or Satchel Charges.
Saints Row: The Third
- Use a Challenger or Crusader.
- Purchase invulnerability and infinite ammo Upgrades.
Saints Row IV
- Super Speed makes this trivially easy, as all you have to do is keep charging everything destructable. Find a busy street and sweep up and down it repeatedly. Streets with parked cars are also very good; you can rely on the parked cars to spawn whether traffic is busy or not.
- WIth the Tornado power you leave a wider swath of destruction, hitting victims you missed a direct hit on.
- If you don't have Unlimited Sprint, you may want a weapon with a wide area of effect for when you need to recharge stamina.
- If you don't have No Ragdoll or Immovable Object then it's even more important to keep moving to distance yourself from explosions.
- In TK Mayhem, only the TK Force power from the ball will score points. Running won't be counted, nor will the effects of other TK Powers.
- You do not have to throw the ball, you could simply keep it in front of you and run the same as On-Foot Mayhem. Just aim the ball slightly low to the ground and it'll cut right through most vehicles. To smash larger vehicles quickly, raise the ball over it and bring it down. Again, No Ragdoll and Immovable Object will help you keep control of the ball.
- The first attempt of Vehicular Mayhem will add <Destructor> or Void to your Garage, so you may play around with them and get a feel for them before attempting again.
- It isn't advisable to switch Void to flight mode, as a successful aerial attack requires more precision than you should be using in Mayhem.
- Look at the entire map to see where the high value targets are arranged, and choose your course to line them up in order. It's a good idea to build up combo first, to multiply the bonus points for destroying them.
Trivia
- Mayhem was removed from the Japanese version of Saints Row 2, along with Hitman and Human Shield.
- Mayhem is not included in the German version of the game.[2]
- One easy way to earn combos in Mayhem is to blow up long lines of fences. Saints Row: The Third makes fun of this - Kinzie assigns The Protagonist to blow up a fencing company, and the Achievement/Trophy for completing all Mayhem instances is "Fence Killa 2011".
- During Hostage in Saints Row 2, one of the male passengers references Mayhem with the random line "You don't get points for knocking stuff down".
