"What Goes Up..." is the tenth and final mission of Los Carnales story arc in Saints Row.

Luz: "Actually, they're this season's new--"
Playa: "Bullshit, that's last year's fall collection."
Luz and Playa, at the airport.

Overview[]

Dex pulls up alongside Playa outside the church and informs him that Angelo Lopez and the remaining Carnales are trying to flee Stilwater via a Graham Jet XL8000 plane, in an attempt to rebuild elsewhere.[2]

After rushing to the airport, Dex takes the wheel as Playa guns down all opposition. Playa manages to destroy the plane as it is taking off, killing everyone inside it, including Angelo Lopez. With Los Carnales completely defeated, Luz arrives, having missed her flight with Angelo. She informs playa and dex that she was suppose to leave with him. Playa wants to shoot luz, but dex tells him to let it go and not make manuel mad. Luz asks what is she suppose to do since she has nowhere to go. Dex tells her to see answer a since he doesn't and she keeps trying his patience. She asks, can you at least tell me where manuel is! Dex fed up with the questions tells playa I change my mind, shoot her. Luz quickly gets in her car and drives away. Dex congratulates playa and tells him to take Angelo's ride.

Good job man, I'll tell Julius we're done here. Take Angelo's ride, I'll drive this back to your crib. [...] Ya know what, I think Julius was right about you.
— Dex

Story[]

Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available on the 'Story' page, accessed from the 'INFO' tab of the pause menu.

One of Troy's crew spotted Angelo making his way toward the airport, intent on skipping town and rebuilding his gang somewhere else. Acting quickly, you arrived just in time to head him off at the runway. In the ensuing gunfight, you and Dex managed to take out Angelo's plane before it could escape, and the last surviving leader of Los Carnales was taken down once and for all.

Gameplay[]

What Goes Up - chasing plane
What Goes Up RPG Launcher

It is absolutely vital to take out these 4 RPG Launcher-wielding targets over anything else.

The Carnales finale can only be played upon completion of the previous mission, "House Call", and all related Strongholds: "Fox Drive Weapons Plant", "Stoughton Shipyard", "Black Bottom Refinery", "Cecil Park Drug Lab", and "Charlestown Warehouse".

Go to the airport and stop Angelo.

The mission begins with a generous 2:28 minute timer to drive to Wardill Airport.

Destroy the plane before it takes off.

After arriving, Dex takes the driver's seat, and the player is given the difficult task of protecting Dex's vehicle from an onslaught of Carnales vehicles while he slowly drives around the airport to get to the plane. What can make this mission challenging is the pin-point accuracy of 4 Carnales guards who have RPG Launchers. The vital method to passing this mission is knowing where they are and realizing that they all are standing next to explosive barrels. Equip the K6 Krukov and shoot at the explosive barrels rather than the Carnales themselves - when the barrels explode they instantly die. Do not concentrate on anything else but these 4 Carnales.

The first two Carnales members with RPG Launchers is directly ahead after smashing through the gate and turning left; one is directly on the ground in front of the Nightingale, while the other is to the right, on top of a roof. The third is just before taking the first ramp, to the right on top of a crate. The last can be taken out after taking the second ramp onto the roof, and is directly to the right of the vehicle after it lands. The second RPG Launcher-wielder is directly to the left.

Once Dex approaches the plane, the player should quickly equip the RPG Launcher and spam rockets at it. Dex moves the vehicle erratically at first, but eventually drive alongside the plane, just behind it and to the side, at an even speed, allowing some easy shots with the RPG Launcher.

Success

After the plane is destroyed and Angelo Lopez is finally killed, Wardill Airport is acquired along with a new Crib, and an assortment of Carnales-themed unique vehicles.

If all three story arcs have been completed, the "Battlefield Promotion" cutscene plays, and the "Stuffing the Ballot" mission becomes available.

Failure

The mission can be failed by getting Smoked or busted, abandoning/killing Dex,[3][4] not reaching the airport in time,[5] unsuccessfully defending Dex's car,[6] or failing to prevent Angelo Lopez from escaping Stilwater.[7]

Newscast[]

Jack Armstrong: "I'm Jack Armstrong. A private jet exploded over Stilwater this afternoon, stunning those on the ground that watched it happen. Our Jane Valderamma has the report."
Jane Valderamma: "The plane had just taken off from Stilwater International when something went terribly wrong. It was less than two miles out when the plane fragmented in mid-air. The flight plan registered with air traffic control lists the pilot as Angelo Lopez, brother of recently-murdered crime boss Hector Lopez. The jet, registered to a known shell company in the control of the Lopez organized crime family, was completely destroyed as the debris rained down on the lake next to the airport. Although police have cordoned off the area, pieces of the wreckage are missing, including the black box, that will contain vital clues as to what exactly happened during the last few moments of Angelo Lopez's doomed final flight."
Jack Armstrong: "Jane Valderamma reporting from Saint's Row. The latest on this, and other Stilwater stories, at the top and bottom of the hour - news as it happens. I'm Jack Armstrong."
