"Hit the Powder Room" is the first Stronghold mission in Saints Row: The Third.

Playa: "Lotta people with guns in there. We'll go in the back way."
Pierce: "You don't think the back's guarded?"
Playa: "There's like 2 punks."
Pierce: "What about the inside, motherfucker?"
Shaundi: "Put in your tampons and let's do this."
Playa, Pierce, and Shaundi, starting their assault on Powder.

Overview[]

Following Pierce's advice[1], he, Shaundi, and Playa plan to break into Powder – a designer gun store that deals with the Morningstar – in order to find out where Phillipe Loren is so that they can kill him in retribution for Johnny Gat's death.[2]

A gun battle ensues, and the three Saints head around the back and into the warehouse. After dealing with a Mini-Gun-wielding Brute, Shaundi hacks into the manager's computer to find out all she can. Once she finishes, the three quickly leave.

Gameplay[]

Hit the Powder Room Temporary Weapons
Go to Powder
Enter the warehouse

Begin by killing all of the Morningstar in the car park and then head inside the warehouse.

Find a way upstairs

As well as finding more Morningstar goons on the ground floor, there are a few Sniper Specialists on the catwalk above; their McManus 2015 sniper rifles deal a fair amount of damage but their aim is highlighted by a red beam of light, so they are easily avoided, and targeted.

Kill the Brute

After heading through the small cafeteria, the Mini-Gun-wielding Brute makes his debut mission appearance. He has a lot of health, but his exposed head is his weak spot. Again, take cover and hope that he chooses to fire at Shaundi or Pierce. Once he's dead, quickly pick up the Mini-Gun and use it to gun down all the enemies that show up. This Mini-Gun should have enough ammunition to see the player through the rest of the level, provided they are moderately accurate with it.

Get to the manager's office

After heading up the stairs and along the catwalk, killing any more enemies along the way, Shaundi hacks into the computer in the manager's office, leaving the player to defend her alongside Pierce. Once she has finished hacking, the Stronghold immediately ends.
