Description 
Edit
In the final Westside Rollerz mission, Joseph Price attempts to run over The Protagonist in a Goliath truck at Foreign Power, where the two were supposed to meet. Unhappy with this, The Protagonist attempts to chase Price down across the freeway.[1]
After successfully killing Price, Julius Little calls The Protagonist and congratulates them on defeating the Westside Rollerz. He remarks on the mysterious buyers Sharp mentioned before, and then says to The Protagonist that he'll see them at the church later.[2]
- "We done and fucked the Rollerz hard. They ain't got nothin' left. There are a few loose ends, though, like who the fuck those buyers are Sharp was talkin' about. I got a feelin' there's some shit goin' on we don't know about. I'll catch ya later at the church."

Story Edit
The following text has been transcribed verbatim from the game files, and can be read in-game upon completion of the mission. To do this, pause the game at any time during gameplay, go to the 'INFO' tab, and select 'Story'.
His gang in ruins, a furious Price called you up and challenged you to a showdown at the car dealership. When you arrived, Price tried to run you down with a truck. He led you on a dangerous chase down the expressway, but you managed to kill the crazed leader of the Rollerz. Now that both Price and his Westside Rollerz are in pieces, there's nothing stopping the Saints from taking over their turf.
Gameplay Edit
Added by Moozipan CheeseThe Westside Rollerz finale can only be played upon completion of the previous mission, "No Time to Mourn", and all related Strongholds: "Copperton Receiving Station", "Pleasant View Storage", "Price's Mansion", and "Tidal Spring Apartments".
The mission requires the player to chase after Joseph Price, who is driving a Goliath clockwise along the freeway across Stilwater. He has only one method of attack - throwing Pipe Bombs behind him. Pipe Bombs are weak and easy to dodge. He also does not drop them at a consistent rate. Like the previous mission, the player is also provided with infinite ammunition. Simply use an SMG to shoot the 4 vehicles on Price's trailer until they explode - avoiding traffic, Price's Pipe Bombs, and enemy Westside Rollerz. If for some reason players find themselves struggling, they should consider recruiting homies before the mission starts to help defend them against enemies.
Added by Moozipan CheeseOnce the 4 vehicles are destroyed, the player should simply turn their attention onto the truck itself - like the cars it easily goes down. Once it has, the player should congratulate themselves on completing the Westside Rollerz story arc. They are rewarded with $5,000 cash, a new Crib, and an assortment of Westside Rollerz-themed unique vehicles. Players can now start the Vice Kings and Los Carnales story arcs (starting with "Aisha's Favor" and "Crack Down" respectively). If players have completed all three story arcs, the "Battlefield Promotion" cutscene will play, and players can start the "Stuffing the Ballot" mission.
The player can fail the mission by dying, getting busted, or losing Price's truck.[3]
Rewards Edit
- • Cash: $5,000
• Respect: None
• Achievement: Road Warrior (40)
• Price Mansion (Crib)
• Julius's car (a unique Zenith)
• Westside Rollerz' cars: Sharp's unique Justice, Donnie's unique Quasar, Lin's unique Voxel
• Glitched Goliath spawn in Copperton
Newscast Edit
- Main article: Newscasts
- Jack Armstrong: Jack Armstrong in the newsroom. If you were wondering why it took you a lot longer to get home today, your afternoon commute was stalled by a terrific two truck collision on an exit ramp in the downtown area, snarling traffic in both directions. Reports that gunfire was heard prior to the accident have not been substantiated. An out-of-control semi collided with a fully-loaded fuel tanker. While the driver of the semi was killed instantly, miraculously the driver of the tanker walked away unharmed. We'll have more details from Officer Mike McCabe in our Eye-in-the-Sky traffic copter just ahead. Traffic and weather on the nine's, news as it happens, top and bottom of the hour. I'm Jack Armstrong.
Transcript Edit
Gameplay Edit
Joseph Price: "It's falling apart!"
Joseph Price: "I'm gonna ram your ass of the road."
Joseph Price: "They're not going to be able to recognize your body."
Joseph Price: "That the best you got?"
Joseph Price: "GRAAAAAH!"
"Loose Ends" cutscene Edit
The Protagonist: "I got ran over by a mothafuckin' truck, what you think?"
Julius Little: "Oh, quit bein' a bitch."
Julius Little: "We done and fucked the Rollerz hard. They ain't got nothin' left. There are a few loose ends, though, like who the fuck those buyers are Sharp was talkin' about. I got a feelin' there's some shit goin' on we don't know about. I'll catch ya later at the church."
Trivia Edit
- The Protagonist says one of their four unique lines throughout Saints Row in this mission: "I got ran over by a mothafuckin' truck, what you think?".[2]
- After destroying the truck cab, if the player drives their car off the bridge over the water before the cutscene, they may reappear underwater inside the car when the cutscene is over.
- The Goliath truck used by Joseph Price in this mission is never seen driving around the city, and does not have a cheat as it is too big to fit in the player's garage. A parking spot spawning location for the Goliath is unlocked in Copperton without a notification after completing this mission, although it is not available after reloading a saved game, as the unlock status is not stored in the save game file.
- The only way to regularly obtain the Goliath is to keep a saved game from before the mission has been completed, and complete the mission again for the first time to unlock the vehicle; simply replaying the mission at a Theatre will not work.
- This is the last time the mysterious buyers are mentioned;[2] they were first mentioned in the mission "Escort Service".[4]
- After the Goliath explodes, Price may jump out of the truck and start shooting a split second before the cutscene is shown.
- The final cutscene shows that the wreckage of Price's truck had collided with a fuel tanker[2] - the newscast for the mission also makes a note of this - however, no fuel tanker makes an appearance during gameplay.
