Saints Flow

**Saints Flow** is an energy drink in *Saints Row: The Third*.

*There's a Saint in all of us.*— Slogan

## Overview

The Saints Flow energy drink first appears in the *Saints Row: The Third* Power CG trailer. The 3rd Street Saints started manufacturing the drink sometime after retaking Stilwater and before the events of *Saints Row: The Third*.

In the *Saints Row: The Third* Syndication trailer, Playa chases after a civilian dressed up as a Saints Flow energy drink can.

### Mascots

Mascots dressed up as Saints Flow energy drink cans take part in Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax and sometimes outside of Planet Saints. It is also possible to have Saints Flow mascots as gang followers via Gang Customization, as part of the mascot style which is unlocked after completing Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax. Saints Flow mascots are located in odd or out of the way places, such as the little islands in sunset park, inside shipping contains that previously contained hidden collectibles, under overpasses in Loren Square's red light district, and occasionally they spawn outside Saint Strongholds such as Safeword and 3 Count casino.

They sometimes become excited if they see Playa and approach, such as Johnny Gat Mascots, and 3rd Street Saints' fans. Civilian Saints Flow Mascots often use RPGs.

Because they are one of the most common of the various kinds of mascots, they make excellent targets for racking up Mascot Kills for the *Mascots Killed* challenge. A Saints Flow Mascot is pictured for the *Mascots Killed* challenge.[*screenshot?*]

In *Saints Row IV*, they appear as civilians, gang followers, and enemies. There is also a giant Saints Flow Mascot named Paul. They are also featured in the mission entitled The Saints Flow, which takes place in Pierce's Simulation in which Playa must rescue Pierce from Paul and his army of Saints Flow Mascots. Playa uses the animated Statue of Joe Steel on Magarac Island to fight and kill Paul. In a cutscene, Playa also drinks a Saints Flow provided by CID before entering Pierce's simulation. In Gat Time, Fun Time, both Playa and Gat refer to Saints Flow when talking about Pierce. Gat talks about Pierce unsuccessful attempt to breed cats with purple fur by pouring Saints Flow on them and Playa states that Pierce has drank so much Saints Flow he can't feel anything. If talked to on The Ship, Pierce mentions having a craving for a Saints Flow and wonders if the Zin have any of it stored away somewhere. In a conversion between Asha Odekar and Pierce, Asha states she would rather relive a mission where she was near starvation and forced to fend for herself, than drink a Saints Flow, to which Pierce responded by asking if she tried the grape flavored Saints Flow.

## The Trouble With Clones

Saints Flow plays a role in The Trouble With Clones mission, "*Send in the Clones*". After being attacked by Johnny Tag, upon reaching Jimmy Torbitson's house in Espina, Jimmy revives Playa with a can of irradiated Saints' Flow that Jimmy created with his particle accelerator, which gives Playa superhuman powers.

During this mission, Playa is granted several abilities, and weapons. These are only enabled for the duration of the mission, but the mission is replayable.

After defeating the initial forces on the bridge while protecting Johnny, the "effects" of the Saints Flow "wear off" and the special abilities and weapons are removed. After this, Playa enters a helicopter and must use a rocket launcher to take out the reinforcements of armored vehicles, tanks, snipers and helicopters.

There is no "Saints Flow power-up" to pick up, it is simply a narrative device used in a cutscene.

### Powers

Super Sprint
Allows sprinting faster than normal, faster than most vehicles, and generate a purple/pinkish aura of energy while sprinting, similar to the bluish aura produced by Decker specialist. While Super Sprinting, Playa can push vehicles out of the way by Sprinting into them.
Invincibility
Playa becomes invincible while under the effects of Saints Flow, but can still be meleed to death.
Telepathy
One of the side-effects of the irradiated Saints Flow Playa discovers is the ability to read people's thoughts. Jimmy was unaware of this ability, and unlike the other abilities, Playa cannot control it. It is accidentally discovered by Playa when he hears Jimmy's inner monologue while traveling to Tag's location and tells him to stop. Playa dislikes it, especially after seeing something they find disturbing inside Jimmy's mind, and tells Jimmy to contact them by cellphone.

### Saints Pow

 **Featured in** | Send in the Clones

AKA Saints Flow Fist
Saints Pow is a Melee weapon which gives Playa superhuman strength, making Playa strong enough to kill a Brute with melee attack alone, which enhances melee attacks, causing enemies to explode into a bloody mess when hit. Also hit an enemy produces a superhero-ish *biff-bam-pow* style word balloons. It also gives Playa the ability to knock away vehicles with melee attacks. This weapon has the same statistics as the Apoca-Fist.

### Quarter-Circle Punch

 **Featured in** | Send in the Clones

AKA Saints Flow Fireball
Quarter-Circle Punch is a Thrown weapon which gives Playa pyrokinetic ability to generate fireballs. This super power is similar to the fictional one gained by Pierce after drinking Saints Flow in the Saints Flow commercial and it inspired the Blast superpower in *Saints Row IV*.

They are the only civilians known to carry that kind of military grade firepower.
* In *Saints Row: The Third*, Saints Flow mascots say "*I'll Open up a Can of Whoopass!*" when they are fighting.
