The Enemy of my Enemy

"The Enemy of my Enemy" is the ninth and antepenultimate mission of the The Brotherhood story arc in Saints Row 2.
==Overview==
After Dane Vogel seized Maero's incoming weapons shipment, Playa is playing with Shaundi at an arcade. Following Playa's request, Shaundi's learned that Maero has been asking about the rescheduling of his shipment. Suspecting that there's a reason for the shipment's delay, Playa heads out to investigate.
Sure enough, Playa locates the cargo ship to the southeast of Stilwater. After killing the Ultor security team on deck, Playa then uses the weapons that the shipment consists of to defend against incoming Brotherhood enemies, who have also arrived in an attempt to wrestle control of the shipment back from Ultor. After successfully holding off all waves of enemies, Playa calls Shaundi and asks her to get a crew together to transport all the weapons back to the Saints Hideout.

==Gameplay==
;
To get to the cargo ship, grab a vehicle from one of three locations marked on the Map - a Miami at the Stoughton dock, a Horizon at the Hotel Penthouse helipad or an Oppressor in Wardill Airport.
Head to the vessel and board it - this may be difficult as some of the Ultor security guards on deck - particularly at the bow (front) of the ship - have RPG Launchers that can shoot down a helicopter.
;
There are 18 Ultor guards in total.
Once those on deck have been killed, the last 5 are highlighted in the hold, accessible through a door near the bow.
;
The Handle With Care mid-mission cutscene plays. Even if the last guard is taken as a Human Shield and led above deck, Playa spawns inside the hold after the cutscene.

The Brotherhood storm the cargo ship in three separate waves, and are delivered with Brotherhood Oppressors, Brotherhood Miamis, and normal Sharks.
Ammunition can be refilled at any time by visiting the ship's hold. After destroying each wave, the game provides time to revisit the room and resupply.
The waves themselves aren't particularly difficult, but the gang members board both sides and can be overwhelming. Head to the bow and, rather than trying to shoot the boats and helicopters on their way to the boat, shoot the helicopters with the RPG Launcher as they close in and attempt to drop enemies off nearby. Any surviving helicopters endlessly fly around the cargo ship in a pattern until destroyed. The boats pull up alongside the cargo ship and offload enemies too, but they can easily be gunned down. Furthermore, the boats are no longer a problem once their passengers have disembarked, unlike the helicopters.
Once all three waves of The Brotherhood's attack have been repelled, the mission ends. After the mission completion screen, an Oppressor helicopter spawns on deck.

==Trivia==
* The title of this mission is inspired by the adage, "".
* Although there are K6 Krukov assault rifles inside the weapons caches, all assault rifle ammo is available.
* The cargo ship in this mission is defined in the game's files as a building, not a vehicle, and only appears in this mission.
* This mission is similar to the later Saints Row: The Third mission "The Ho Boat": both missions involve raiding a ship with cargo belonging to an enemy gang and end with repelling a counterattack that comes in waves via helicopters and boats.
* The mission script refers to the Horizon as "Attack Helicopter". There is an unused section of the mission script which would have made the Horizon automatically explodes when fired upon after landing on the cargo ship, and a disabled line that would automatically detonate it after the mid-mission cutscene.
* The Hotel Penthouse elevator is a custom trigger which is added during the mission. After getting into any 3 of the marked vehicles, including the Horizon, the rooftop trigger remains, but the ground floor trigger is removed. When the crib is owned, the normal elevator is restored, but when it is not owned, the ground floor trigger is removed entirely, and there is no way to get back to the rooftop.
* The Warp to Shore function is disabled for the entire mission.
