Escort

Escort is an Activity in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, and Saints Row: The Third, and is a removed activity in Saints Row IV.
==Overview==
Playa is given a luxury car with tinted windows, and must first pick up a Prostitute before driving to the client, who is either male or female. Once the client is collected, the 'pleasure' meter begins to build. Once the 'pleasure' meter is full, that stage is complete.
There are numerous obstacles to avoid, such as paparazzi, significant others, private investigators and the IRS. When any of these are close enough, progress of the 'pleasure' meter is halted, and the 'footage' meter increases. If the 'footage' meter fills up, the mission is failed.
The client occasionally asks for specific things, such as smashing up other cars, driving really fast, making long jumps, going to specific destinations or killing a specific pedestrian. Until these requirements are met, the pleasure meter stops progressing.
After two consecutive rounds, the hooker must be exchanged for a 'fresh' one, which gives an opportunity to have the car repaired.
Firing a weapon whilst in the car drains the pleasure meter, even if the shots don't hit anything.
In co-op, the guest takes the role of the prostitute, eliminating the need to pick one up.

==Saints Row: The Third==
They are two variants of Escort. The "escourt" variant is used in the 3 instances of Escort, and the "tiger_escort" variant is used for the 3 instances of Tiger Escort.
===Tiger Escort===
In Saints Row: The Third, there is a variant of Escort in which a Tiger is escorted, rather than a client with a Prostitute.
Angel De LaMuerte tasks Playa with driving around in a vehicle with a tiger in the backseat, in an effort to make sure Playa is tough enough to fight the Syndicate.
The "pleasure" and "footage" meters are replaced with "Courage" and "Animal Rage" respectively. When a news van gets too close, or the car collides with cars and obstacles, the tiger mauls Playa.
The tiger does not for specific tasks, but it sometimes attacks Playa, which temporary affects steering. Filling the "Animal Rage" does not cause instant failure; the chance is given to calm the tiger by drifting his car for a few seconds.
In co-op play, a guest sits in the backseat in an attempt to tame the tiger "if things get too tough".
===Locations===
The regular one takes place in New Colvin District. The easy instance is located in the north of Camano Place while the medium instance is located in the south of this neighborhood. The hard instance takes place in Wesley Cutter Intl. The Tiger Escort takes place in Carver Island. The easy instance is located in the north of New Baranec while the medium instance is located in the south of this neighborhood. The hard instance takes place in Yearwood.

==Tips==
:Main article: Tips.
*The trick to losing pursuing vehicles is doing handbrake aided u-turns (something the AI drivers can not do) from high speed or taking risky shortcuts.
*Never slow down at roadblocks. If one can not be navigated around then forcing an opening by crashing right between two vehicles is the best option.
*Drive on long, wide roads when possible. Those give more options for turning, obstacle evasion and driving on the wrong side of the road.
*When tasked with killing a pedestrian, driving over them is preferred over SMG fire. Coming back for them when missed is best done by speeding up again and doing a u-turn.
==Trivia==
*The Japanese version of Saints Row omits some of the more explicit moans and dialogue.
*The Easy instance of Escort in New Baranec is missing the difficulty subtitle on the Map.
===Tiger Escort===
* When played as a mission started through the Cellphone, the mission is named "Eye of the Tiger".
**This is a reference to the song by 
* A GameInformer preview misidentified Tiger Escort with Guardian Angel.
*There are scenes similar to this activity in the movies and .
* Playa's reaction to this Activity is "A FUCKING TIGER?!".
* This activity has a real life counterpart in the ancient sport of "Lion Drome" in which the driver of a vehicle drives around an enclosed bowl like arena with a lion or other type of fierce animal at his side. The last Lion Drome closed in 1964, after the lion bit a carnival worker.
* Homies may be recruited but if one enters or attempts to enter the back seat, the game freezes.
*There is a similar tiger in Saints Row IV in The White House when Playa, Pierce and Benjamin King are on their way to a press conference.
*In co-operative mode, in Saints Row: The Third, the guest calming the tiger has the option to punch it, using the melee button. This instantly fills the tiger's rage meter.
===Saints Row IV===
*While this activity did not return in Saints Row IV, a map icon for it remains in the game's files. Unlike in other games, the icon depicts a steering wheel instead of a heart.
