Description

The Saints Flow energy drink first appears in the Saints Row: The Third E3 2011 debut trailer, "Power". The 3rd Street Saints started manufacturing the drink sometime after retaking Stilwater and before the events of Saints Row: The Third.

In the Saints Row: The Third Syndication trailer, The Protagonist can be seen chasing after a pedestrian dressed up as a Saints Flow energy drink can.

Mascots

Mascots dressed up as Saints Flow energy drink cans can be seen in the Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax Activity and sometimes outside of Planet Saints. It is also possible to have Saints Flow mascots as gang followers via gang costumization, as part of the mascot style (which is unlocked after completeing all of Prof. Genki's activities). Saints Flow mascots are sometimes found in odd or out of the way places, such as the little islands in sunset park (sometimes appearing dancing with a stripper), inside shipping contains (usually ones that previous contained hidden collectibles), Loren Square's red light districts (located under the overpass that runs through the Square), and occasionally they can be found outside Saint Strongholds such as Safeword and 3 Count casino. Because they are one of the most commonly found of the various kinds of mascots, they make excellent targets for racking up Mascot Kills for the Mascots Killed challenge (in fact one is pictured in SaintsBook next to the challenge's details).Template:Fact

The Trouble With Clones

Saints Flow plays a role in The Trouble With Clones mission, "Send in the Clones". After being attacked by Johnny Tag (a Brute clone of Johnny Gat), upon reaching Jimmy Torbitson's house in Espina, Jimmy revives The Protagonist with can of irradiated Saints' Flow that Jimmy created with his particle accelerator, which gives The Protagonist superhuman powers.

During this mission, The Protagonist is granted several abilities, and weapons. These are only enabled for the duration of the mission, but the mission can be replayed.

After defeating the initial forces on the bridge while protecting Jimmy, the "effects" of the Saints Flow "wear off" and the special abilities and weapons are removed. After this, The Protagonist enters a helicopter and must use a rocket launcher to take out the reinforcements of armored vehicles, tanks, snipers and helicopters.

There is no "Saints Flow power-up" to pick up, it is simply a narrative device shown in a cutscene.

Super Sprint (Super Speed)

Allows the player to sprint faster than normal (fast enough to out-run most vehicles) and generate a purple/pinkish aura of energy (similar to the bluish aura produced by Decker specialist) while sprinting. While Super Sprinting, The Protagonist can push vehicles out of the way by Sprinting into them.

Saints Flow Fireball

AKA Quarter-Circle Punch (Weapon) - Secondary attack

Gives The Protagonist pyrokinetic ability to generate fireballs at will. This super power is similar to the fictional one gained by Pierce after drinking Saints Flow in the Saints Flow commercial.

Saints POW (Super Strength)

AKA Saints Flow Fist (Weapon) - Primary attack

Gives The Protagonist superhuman strength (making The Protagonist strong enough to kill a Brute with melee attack alone), which enhances melee attacks (causing enemies to explode into a bloodly mess when hit with melee attacks). Also hit an enemy produces a superhero-ish biff-bam-pow style word ballons. It also gives The Protagonist the ability to knock away vehicles with melee attacks.

Invincibility

The Protagonist becomes invincible while under the effects of Saints Flow, but can still be meleed to death.

Telepathy

One of the side-effects of the irradiated Saints Flow The Protagonist discovers is the ability to read people's thoughts, however unlike the other abilities which The Protagonist doesn't seem to be able to control over it. It is accidentally discovered by The Protagonist, when he hears Jimmy's inner monologue while traveling to Tag's location and tells him to stop. Jimmy was unaware of this ability, meaning it is likely a side-effect. The Protagonist dislikes it, especially after seeing something they find disturbing inside Jimmy's mind, and tells Jimmy to contact them by cellphone.

Saints Flow's good, but Saints Flow with vodka, better.

The last time I had a Saints Flow I woke up on a sidewalk covered in blood...and it wasn't mine.

I hope no one ever finds out what's really in Saints Flow.
