Saints Row 2 gang missions: Brotherhood, Ronin, Samedi and Ultor
Compare the three rival gang arcs and the campaign structure that follows them.
Edition covered
Saints Row 2’s original base campaign, first released on consoles in 2008 and on PC in 2009. Publisher pictures show the PC listing. Console-exclusive DLC, community-restored DLC and overhaul-mod rules are outside this guide.
Choose a gang arc after the Saints are established
Once the opening rebuild is complete, the Brotherhood, Ronin and Sons of Samedi routes form the main gang conflicts. You can move between available arcs as Respect and mission prerequisites allow. A route table helps identify the contacts and style of each conflict.
| Organization | Key figures | Campaign identity |
|---|---|---|
| The Brotherhood | Maero and his crew | Heavy vehicles, retaliation and escalating rivalry |
| The Ronin | Shogo and Kazuo Akuji | Stylized sword-and-gun criminal organization |
| Sons of Samedi | The General and Mr. Sunshine | Drug trade and Shaundi’s local connections |
| Ultor | Dane Vogel | Corporate redevelopment and private force |
Watch strongholds as well as story missions
Gang control is not only a sequence of named character missions. Strongholds require clearing specific enemy locations and contribute to taking territory. Check the map for both kinds of objective when an arc appears to have stopped advancing.
| Objective type | Role | What to inspect |
|---|---|---|
| Prologue Saints missions | Re-establish the gang | Required contacts and headquarters |
| Gang story missions | Advance a rival organization’s arc | Respect and prior mission completion |
| Strongholds | Remove local enemy positions | Separate map markers |
| Late Ultor missions | Resolve the corporate conflict | New markers after main gang progress |
| Optional secret mission | Additional story context | Special discovery requirements |
Expect each lieutenant to anchor a different conflict
Johnny Gat is closely tied to the Ronin story, Shaundi to the Sons of Samedi, and Pierce to the Brotherhood work. These associations help organize the plot, but the Boss remains the custom player character across every arc.
Keep a save before the late corporate escalation
Ultor becomes increasingly important as the Saints regain power. Finish the available gang work and follow the newly unlocked story markers. Optional secret-mission content exists, so completing the main finale does not automatically mean every narrative activity has been found.
