Back to Basics

"Back to Basics" is the second mission in Saints Row.
==Overview==
After being initiated into Saints, Troy meets Playa outside the church to clear out the Row - specifically Mission Beach.
The mission consists of Playa buying a firearm and, along with Troy, killing a few Vice Kings gang members who are loitering around the Mission Beach neighborhood in the Saint's Row.
===Story===
==Gameplay==
Whereas the previous mission, "Canonized", introduced hand to hand combat, this mission, "Back to Basics", introduces many other gameplay mechanics in Saints Row; such as sprinting, using weapons, Notoriety, how to drive, and three Stores: Friendly Fire, Forgive and Forget, and Freckle Bitch's.
;
The mission begin outside the Saints Row Church with Troy as a Homie, and the first objective varies depending on whether Playa already has a weapon.
If no firearms have previously been acquired, the first objective is to go to Friendly Fire to buy a weapon with the Cash earned on completion of the previous mission. If the Cash has already been spent, additional Cash is not given.
This objective can be fulfilled by picking up dropped firearms. If the storekeeper dies before acquiring a firearm, the mission fails, even if it is Troy who kills him.
;
The mission begins here if a firearm has previously been acquired.
There are 3 groups of two Vice Kings gang members who must be killed. They are all marked on the map immediately, and can be killed in any order. They do not react until Playa attacks them, and Troy does not attack them first.
If a weapon is acquired before starting the mission, or picked up next to where the Vice Kings appear, it is possible to kill the first two Vice Kings before they are marked as targets.
After firing a weapon near the first Vice Kings group, Vice Kings Notoriety is increased to 1.
;
If Playa is already inside a vehicle, this objective is skipped.
The Vice Kings' Compton near the northern-most group of enemies is marked, but entering any car fulfils the objective. Vice Kings Notoriety is increased to 2 at this point, so more Vice Kings soon arrive in a Capshaw.
;
Seven seconds after entering any vehicle, Troy directs Playa to drive to a Forgive and Forget store to remove the Gang Notoriety. The route is automatically marked on the GPS.
Although the closest Forgive and Forget is marked, any Forgive and Forget can be used.
;
Six seconds after Notoriety is removed, Troy asks to be dropped at Freckle Bitch's in Mission Beach, slightly up the road from the marked Forgive and Forget. Upon reaching the Freckle Bitch's marker, Troy gets out of the car without a word and the mission ends.
The mission can be failed by getting smoked, busted, killing the store clerk before acquiring a weapon, or abandoning/killing Troy.
Immediately after completion of this mission, there is a phone call from Julius.
After this call, all Activities appear on the map.
To continue the 3rd Street Saints prologue story arc, enough Respect must be earned to start the Carnales' "Abandoned Storefront" Stronghold, which must be completed before the "Reclamation" mission becomes available. Until enough respect is earned, there are 2 on-screen nag messages with instructions to earn respect by playing activities and to play the Snatch Activity in Harrowgate, although that activity is not compulsory.
