Pyramid Scheme

"Pyramid Scheme" is the antepenultimate mission in Saints Row 2.
==Overview==
Infuriated by Ultor's recent hit on the 3rd Street Saints, Playa meets their lieutenants (Johnny Gat, Shaundi, and Pierce) at a Mexican restaurant. Shaundi has discovered that The Pyramid is a huge Ultor facility underneath Mount Claflin. Playa advises Shaundi and Pierce "hit the streets and take out as much Ultor property as [they] can", thereby causing a distraction so Gat and Playa can attack the facility.
After personally causing some damage in Saint's Row, Playa meets Gat at The Pyramid using a secret entrance via the sewer. Together, they set three bombs in three separate labs and escape the facility in a Bear before the bombs detonate. At a meeting with the Ultor board of directors, Dane Vogel assures the executives that everything is under control. However, they are unhappy with the loss of The Pyramid and his ego, and threaten that if he doesn't finish off the Saints, than "being fired [will be] the least of [his] worries".

Head to the marker, climb over the fence, and swim through the water to reach the platform. There, head down through the pipes until one meets Gat, and continue onwards into the facility.

==Trivia==
* The first objective, "Head to Saints Row", misspells "Saint's Row" as "Saints Row".
* The fourth objective, "Enter their base while the Ultor are distracted", erroneously refers to Ultor as "the Ultor".
* The sixth objective, "Find the keycard for the lab doors" specifically says "keycard", but the target object is a set of keys.
* The opening cutscene of this mission is called "Khufu's Legacy". was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ruled around 2580 B.C.. He is generally accepted as having built the .
* As with many missions with assigned Homies, if Johnny Gat is called as a Homie before starting the mission, it is possible to have two of him.
* The first part of this mission can be easily accomplished by walking into the Harrowgate police department, stealing the Tornado, and then quickly flying to the nearest Forgive and Forget. This technique alleviates the need to get four stars of Notoriety as stealing the Tornado instantly gives five stars and provides an easy escape.
* The newspaper text on the Newspaper Clipboard mentions that Sephren Nichols' TV special has been canceled; Sephren Nichols is an investigative reporter advertised on the radio who once explored the existence of The Pyramid in Secrets of The Pyramid.
** 
* The Ultor Five-Os that chase Playa spawn more frequently in the mission.
** This happens only on level 2 and 3 of police Notoriety. Ultor FBIs and Bears start spawning normally on level 4 and 5 of Notoriety.
*When approaching the central chamber from the lower level or bottom level, the cutscene shows Gat and Playa approaching from the upper level. In all cases, after the cutscene they are teleported to the lower level.
*A Saints' Capshaw will always be provided at the beginning of the mission, even if the car hasn't been selected as a gang car in the Gang Customization.
*There is enough time to exit the base using the entrance tunnel, however when approaching the exit, the message "Use the APC to exit the base" appears, then when the exit is reached, the mission fails with the message "You failed to get to the APC".
**Although it is a mission target, destroying the Bear does not automatically fail the mission. Trying to leave via the tunnel after destroying the Bear still fails the mission.
**It is not possible to run the length of the exit tunnel, because Gat's pathfinding is broken and he walks into a wall if taken any point past where the Bear spawns.
**It is possible to use a Toad to exit The Pyramid instead of the Bear, but the Bear must be entered first as it is a mission target. It is easier to find a Toad before the final segment, as all existing Toads are despawned when the cutscene plays.
**It is possible to exit without the completing the mission, either by driving the Toad without entering the Bear, or by driving the Bear to the exit and leaving without it. It is possible to drive the Toad all the way to the Saints Hideout before the timer runs out.
