Mascots

Mascots dressed up as Saints Flow energy drink cans take part 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 Customization, as part of the mascot style which is unlocked after completing Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax. Saints Flow mascots are sometimes found in odd or out of the way places, such as the little islands in sunset park, inside shipping contains (usually ones that previously 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.

They sometimes become excited if they see The Protagonist and approach, such as Johnny Gat Mascots, and 3rd Street Saints' fans. Civilian Saints Flow Mascots often use RPGs.

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

In Saints Row IV, they appear as civilians, gang followers, and enemies. There is also a giant Saints Flow Mascot named Paul. They are also featured in the mission entitled The Saints Flow, which takes place in Pierce's Simulation in which The Protagonist must rescue Pierce from Paul and his army of Saints Flow Mascots. The Protagonist uses the animated Statue of Joe Magarac to fight and kill Paul. In a cutscene, The Protagonist also drinks a Saints Flow provided by CID before entering Pierce's simulation. In Gat Time, Fun Time, both The Protagonist and Gat refer to Saints Flow when talking about Pierce. Gat talks about Pierce unsuccessful attempt to breed cats with purple fur by pouring Saints Flow on them and The Protagonist states that Pierce has drank so much Saints Flow he can't feel anything. If talked to on The Ship, Pierce mentions having a craving for a Saints Flow and wonders if the Zin have any of it stored away somewhere. In a conversion between Asha Odekar and Pierce, Asha states she would rather relive a mission where she was near starvation and forced to fend for herself, than drink a Saints Flow, to which Pierce responded by asking if she tried the grape flavored Saints Flow.

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 a 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 Johnny, 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.

The super speed effect

Super Sprint

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.

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 cannot control 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.

Template:Infobox weapon

Saints Pow

AKA Saints Flow Fist (Melee Weapon)

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 bloody mess when hit). 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. This weapon has the same statistics as the Apoca-Fist.

Quarter-Circle Punch

AKA Saints Flow Fireball (Thrown Weapon)

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 and it inspired the Blast superpower in Saints Row IV.

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

I really don't think Saints Flow tastes bad.
