"Smoked" is the term used for when Playa gets killed in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third[1], Saints Row IV, Saints Row: Gat out of Hell and Saints Row (2022) by losing all of their health.

Smoked stats

265 total deaths in Saints Row, costing $713,357.60.

Causes[]

There are many ways that playa can be killed in the Saints Row series; The most common examples include being shot at until Playa's health is depleted, being injured in explosions, being run over, being beaten up, set on fire, caught in an explosion or falling from a substantial height.

Examples

  • Getting beaten up.
  • Explosions from Grenades, RPGs, Satchel Charges, and vehicles.
  • Getting run over (cars, bikes, trains, etc.).
  • Being exposed to fire for too long (running through flames or getting hit by a Molotov Cocktail).

Consequences[]

As a consequence of getting smoked in the saints row series, playa will respawn at the nearest hospital, if Smoked during diversion, or outside of a mission. Their weapons will not be confiscated, but will be charged with $500 (20% in Saints Row).

Getting Smoked during a mission or most activities, will result in immediate mission failure and gives an option to either retry the mission or quit it.

Getting Smoked advances the game time by 6 hours.

Stilwater appears to have a socialized health care system, in which a person's savings are used to determine the cost of treatment after being Smoked. The cost is 20%, so the poor pay a smaller amount than the rich, but receive the same level of care, which is basically how health care works in the majority of the world.

There are no mid-mission checkpoints, so the only options when dying during a mission are restart or quit.

There are 4 hospitals where Playa respawns after being Smoked.

Trivia[]

  • Unlike Saints Row, when dying in Saints Row 2, the screen turns red when Playa dies.
  • There is a glitch in both Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third, where it is possible to successfully complete a mission or activity without being killed but respawn outside a hospital, minus $500, but without the death being registered in the statistics. This commonly happens with the mission "Showdown".
  • Pausing and unpausing the game repeatedly while the "You're Smoked" message is on screen can cause the game to glitch and stay on that screen.
  • If Smoked during a Bonus Mission phone call in Saints Row: The Third, there is a standard "Mission Failed" screen, and the option to restart the mission is given. If the mission is exited, the Cellphone rings again.
  • In Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV Playa doesn't die if the vehicle they're driving inside explodes.
    • The same applies with Gat and Kinzie in Gat out of Hell.
  • In Saints Row: The Third it is possible for one to team kill in one shot while in a Garage menu and their teammate falls through the level. In addition there are 2 character load glitches outside of missions, the infinite ammo duplication glitch which requires 2 characters the first one a level 50 with infinite ammo loaded and then another character and the instant revive glitch, which requires you to get downed and reload your character, these 3 glitches can only be done in Co-op, as the load glitches require you to be the guest and the team kill glitch requires you to kill a Co-op teammate.
  • In Saints Row: Gat out of Hell, if Kinzie or Johnny get Smoked by falling into lava, there are multiple different animations, referencing the end of Terminator 2: Judgement Day where the T-800 Terminator gives a thumbs up as it is destroyed in molten metal.
