3 Count Beat Down

"3 Count Beat Down" is a Stronghold mission in Saints Row: The Third.
==Overview==
3 Count Beat Down is the fourth and final Stronghold mission in Saints Row: The Third, which becomes available after completing both "A Remote Chance" and "Face Your Fear".
Angel De LaMuerte phones Playa and convinces them to let Angel take their place in their upcoming Murderbrawl match against Killbane. They meet at 3 Count Casino, where Angel explains that him losing his mask was "the greatest shame a Luchador can feel", and decides to make a stand and get his mask back.
After causing some chaos in the casino, the two interrogate the manager and learn that Killbane placed Angel's mask somewhere in the vault behind the teller cages. Angel reclaims his mask and together with Playa he clears the remaining Luchadores out of the casino, claiming it for the Saints.

==Trivia==
* As with all Strongholds, the opening dialogue differs completely depending on which Player Customization voice is selected.
* Jane Valderamma appears in the background of the opening cutscene.
* The beginning of this Stronghold, destroying the casino, is similar to the Saints Row 2 Stronghold "New Hennequet Rec Center", where the objective is to destroy an underground casino.
* When interrogating the manager, Playa may freeze, rendering the mission unbeatable. A possible fix is to restart the mission or perform a soft reset by quitting the game.
* During co-op, both versions of Playa speak during the cutscene where Angel gets his mask.
* The statues can be destroyed with any weapons as well as one's fists; however, explosives (grenades, RPGs, general purpose mollusks, etc.) are very effective against them, generally completely destroying them in one hit.
* From this mission on, Angel wears his mask.
