A Remote Chance

"A Remote Chance" is a mission in Saints Row: The Third.
==Overview==
Playa meets up with Shaundi, Pierce and Viola at the Broken Shillelagh to discuss the next step in taking down the Luchadores and Killbane. Viola soon suggests that the best move is to do to Killbane what he did to Angel: they take his mask, hurting his reputation. Knowing that Killbane would never agree to a fight against Angel, they decide to kill off the contestants of the upcoming Murderbrawl XXXI event so that Killbane is forced to fight Playa.
From an Oppressor helicopter, Angel and Playa take out the four Luchador wrestlers, using Kinzie's RC Possessor to destroy the wrestlers' reputations and make the murders look like accidents and destroy their reputation in the progress.
After killing the four wrestlers – Mad Mangler Merle Roberts, Christopher "The Clubber" Johnson, Trashcan Teddy, and El Presidente – Playa publicly meets Killbane outside 3 Count Casino and challenges him to "quit being a bitch and put [his] mask up", to which Killbane proudly obliges.
==Gameplay==
Aboard an Side Shooter, Angel flies to each of the four wrestlers, as Playa sits in the back with the RC Possessor.
;
Playa calls Viola and tells her to go to the Broken Shillelagh with Shaundi and Pierce.
;
After the cutscene, Playa is in a Side Shooter with Angel flying towards the Murderbrawl Arena in Yearwood.
If the Helicopter is destroyed at any point, the mission fails with the message "Helicopter Destroyed!".

:HUD: 45 second countdown
The first wrestler is Mad Mangler Merle Roberts, who is walking to his Bulldog.
There is a 45 second timer to complete this objective. If the vehicle is not controlled before the Luchadores drive away, the mission fails with the message "You waited too long to RC the vehicle!".
Once the Luchadores begin to enter the vehicle, it is not possible to RC it until they have finished entering.
If the Bulldog is controlled before this objective appears on-screen, it is possible to drive it, but when the objective appears, the controls are frozen, with the car continuing to drive, and it is impossible to exit RC mode.
;
This objective is displayed if the Bulldog is controlled before the Luchadores enter. If they have already entered, this objective is skipped. It is not possible to move the Bulldog while this objective is active.
;
:HUD: PEDS X/15
After taking over his vehicle, run over fifteen pedestrians. There are many mascots nearby.
If the Bulldog is destroyed before completing this objective, the mission fails with the message "Not enough pedestrians killed!".
If the Bulldog is driven out of range, the mission fails with the message "Signal Lost!".
;
There is a Thunder Pump Gas Station a few blocks to the east. This objective is skipped if already nearby.
The Bulldog can be destroyed at this point skip the next objective, but submerging it in water fails the mission with the message "Signal Lost!".
;
After the killing spree, drive it into the fuel pump of the nearest gas station to end Roberts with an explosion.
;
The second wrestler is Christopher "The Clubber" Johnson, who is having a party on the beach. Angel flies the Side Shooter to a location between Sierra Point and Magarac Island, where there are 3 Piracy variant Miamis parked.
;Checkpoint
;
Take control of one of three Miamis, it does not matter which. Angel will follow the boat where-ever it goes, so it is impossible to go out of range.
If the first boat is destroyed, or grounded, the mission fails with the message "You Missed the Party".
;
Steer it into the beach party, whereupon it blows up. The blue target is over Christopher "The Clubber" Johnson, dressed in normal Luchador attire. Nearby there are several Status Quo
;Checkpoint
;
The third wrestler is Trashcan Teddy, who is on a sky-tour of the city. Angel flies the Side Shooter
;
Use the RC Possessor to take control of an unrelated helicopter, a Thompson.
;
Crash it into the wrestler's helicopter, destroying them both.
Trashcan Teddy's helicopter follows a fixed circular path, and will fly straight into the RC helicopter if it is in the way.
If the Thompson is destroyed without crashing it into Trashcan Teddy, the mission fails with the message "Decoy Helicopter Destroyed!".
If the Thompson is flown out of range, or submerged, the mission fails with the message "Signal Lost!".
;Checkpoint
;
The last wrestler, El Presidente, is at Wesley Cutter Intl airport under protection of STAG.
;
There are 7 STAG Crusaders parked at the airport. El Presidente is driving in a loop in his own STAG Crusader.
It is not possible to control El Presidente's tank.
;
If all 7 tanks are destroyed, the mission fails with the message "All STAG Tanks Destroyed!".
Once El Presidente is dead, the mission ends.

==Trivia==
* Kinzie Kensington tells Playa that she got bored one night so she built the RC Possessor, although Playa has had the weapon since unlocking it after completing "The Belgian Problem", before meeting Kinzie. This, along with the tutorial-like presentation of the mission, indicates that this mission was either planned to come much earlier in the story or that the RC Possessor was planned to be unlocked much later.
* During this mission, the RC Possessor is fully upgraded to level 4.
** Regardless of the upgrades, mission targets cannot be detonated, although normal vehicles can be controlled and detonated as normal.
* Around the Murderbrawl stadium are many Mascots, including Genki mascots which do not spawn outside of this mission.
* After controlling one of the boats to kill Christopher "The Clubber" Johnson, Playa remarks on how dangerous boats are, referencing the ending of Saints Row, when the yacht Playa was aboard was blown up and Playa was put into a coma.
* A minor bug may occur when Angel's voice queue is too late, which is then overlapped by Playa's voice.
* There is 1 unit of police Notoriety after the start of the mission and 3 after flying above Sierra Point but all gang and law enforcement spawning is suppressed.
*There is an unused failure condition with the internal name "failure_premature_hijackulation" and the displayed text "You Bailed Too Soon!", and a second unused failure condition of "Passenger escaped", but it is not possible for Merle Roberts to exit the Bulldog.
*There is an unused objective "Get in Angel's Helicopter": the mission starts inside it.
*There are unused objectives to "Find the Wrestler's boat", "Crash the Boat", and "Hit the Ramp".
*The first newscast mention the wrestler by name, but the second one does not.
*The subtitle file refers to Jane Valderamma as "Anna".
*It is possible to jump out of the helicopter by taking control of a vehicle and repeatedly tapping the detonate/exit vehicle button. The helicopter continues flying on the scripted path.
**If the Bulldog is used to run over Playa, Kinzie reacts as if the signal is lost and the mission fails
**It is possible to RC the Side Shooter.
**When on the ground, it is not possible to enter any cars, and the objectives proceed as normal.
**When in the water, it is possible to enter boats, but not exit them. Using a Commander, it is possible to destroy the Miami's, and stalemate the "RC a Boat" objective.
*In Co-op, the host is using the RC Possessor while the guest is flying the helicopter instead of Angel.
*The RC Possessor shows the name of whichever weapon is in the Special slot prior to starting the mission.
