Riot Control

"Riot Control" is the eighth mission of the Sons of Samedi story arc in Saints Row 2.
==Overview==
With no Loa Dust left, Mr. Sunshine directs the desperate bums at the 3rd Street Saints, promising that the survivors may keep all the Loa Dust that they seize.
Pierce, Shaundi, and Playa, who are busy moving the Loa Dust from the Drug Factory to the Saints Hideout at the time, stave off the attack. Furthermore, Playa manages to interrogate one of the bums and learns that Mr. Sunshine is hiding out at the meat packing plant.

==Gameplay==
;
Hold off against all attacking bums until Pierce returns with the Mule. Some of the bums are better armed than one would expect, but all should fall easily to the player. An audible countdown can be heard just before Pierce returns.
;
Protect both Pierce and Shaundi as they load twelve crates into the back of the truck.
;
In the second half of the mission, the objective is to cover Pierce and Shaundi while they drive the truck back to the Saints Hideout.
;
Get in the nearby Magma or any other vehicle.
;
Protect the Mule from more of the bums - every now and then they arrive in small cars such as Bootleggers, Capshaws and Go!s. Skillful players can use Cruise Control to accompany the truck, pull ahead, and shoot the drivers of the bums' vehicles to stop them. Otherwise, just shoot the vehicles until they explode.
The truck can take a lot of damage, and stops and waits if it gets too far away.
;Success
The mission ends when the truck arrives at the Saints Hideout, regardless of whether there are enemies present or not.

==Trivia==
* The gameplay segment in which the player defends the truck is similar to the Saints Row Carnales mission "The Missing Shipment".
* The mission takes place at the Drug Factory attacked in the Carnales mission "Trojan Horse".
* During the mission the truck is a Mule, but in the final cutscene it is a Delivery Truck.
* This mission contains several glitches that can make it impossible to complete.
** Pierce may stand in place without moving after arriving in the truck, so the box-loading portion of the mission does not begin.
** Shaundi may either vanish or stand in place without moving, so the box-loading portion of the mission stops at 11 boxes and does not complete.
** As the glitching is random, restarting the mission several times can get around it.
* It is possible to obtain the GAL 43 in this mission, when it is normally unlocked by completing Level 3 of the Downtown District Snatch Activity. It is carried by a fairly large amount of the bums that attack during the mission.
* Because the area around the Saints Hideout is cleared for the final cutscene, the Magma usually disappears upon completion of the mission, but it is possible to keep the Magma by quitting the mission.
* Staying inside the truck after Pierce and Shaundi load it results in Playa getting stuck inside. Restarting the mission from the checkpoint fixes it.
