"Busted" in Saints Row 2
Overview
After getting knocked down by a police officer, SWAT or an FBI member, they may flip The Protagonist onto their stomach and handcuff them.
While there a many different ways of getting Smoked, there is only one way to get Busted.
Saints Row
Any time The Protagonist is knocked down or pulled out of a vehicle by police, he is automatically Busted, regardless of health level.
The cost of bail after being Busted is 10% of the current amount of Cash.
After being Busted, The Protagonist respawns at the closest of 3 police stations:
- Brighton - "Precinct 7"
- Encanto - "Precinct 4"
- Harrowgate - "Precinct 4"
Saints Row 2
Getting busted in Saints Row 2 is less common, as it is only possible when The Protagonist is at below 30% health. The cost of bail is $500.
After being Busted, The Protagonist may be taken to:
- North Island: Adept Way - Courthouse
- South Island: Athos Bay - Police Headquarters
- Stilwater Prison: Stilwater Penitentiary - Side doors of the Stilwater Penitentiary.
- Nuclear Power Plant: Stilwater Penitentiary - Cutscene infirmary in Stilwater Penitentiary
- After being Busted at the Nuclear Power Plant, The Protagonist respawns in the Prison Infirmary interior which is used for initial character customization after the Vacation's Over cutscene. This interior is located beneath the prison itself,[1] and while the floor is solid, the walls are not. There are a few visual differences, most notably the west corner of the room is missing the television and a piece of rail from the wall.[2]
Saints Row: The Third
In the closing scene of "When Good Heists Go Bad", The Protagonist is arrested by the Stilwater Police Department SWAT team,[3] and in the beginning cutscene of "I'm Free - Free Falling", the leaders of the Saints are put in jail, but it is otherwise not possible to get Busted in the game.
Trivia
