Saints Row IV activities guide: races, Mayhem, rifts and hacking
Identify the objective behind each common simulation activity before chasing a medal.
Edition covered
The 2013 Saints Row IV main campaign. Current publisher pictures are explicitly from Saints Row IV: Re-Elected. DLC missions, optional DLC weapons and Gat out of Hell are outside the core reference.
Read the activity’s scoring rule
Blazin measures movement through its course, while Mayhem rewards destruction and Insurance Fraud rewards impacts. A combat loadout alone will not solve an activity whose score comes from speed, precision or positioning.
| Activity | What earns progress | Useful focus |
|---|---|---|
| Blazin | Completing the course quickly | Clean movement through the marked route |
| Mayhem | Causing the required destruction | Dense groups of valid targets |
| Insurance Fraud | Scoring through ragdoll impacts | Traffic and sustained impact chains |
| Fight Club | Completing its combat rounds | The current round’s enemy and power rules |
| Rift | Completing a specialized challenge | The specific traversal or power mechanic |
Use map filters to plan a district
Filter activities, stores and targets on the map so the next destination is clear. Clear an accessible nearby objective before crossing the whole city for a marker that requires another ability.
| Task | Interaction | Completion check |
|---|---|---|
| Store hacking | Connect the puzzle path in time | Store becomes available |
| Flashpoint | Defeat the marked defenders | The map target clears |
| Data Cluster collection | Reach and touch the cluster | Cluster counter increases |
| Activity medal | Meet the score or time threshold | Medal shown on the activity record |
Treat rifts as focused challenges
Rifts test a particular movement or power mechanic. Learn the route or interaction at a lower medal level, then repeat with a plan for the stricter score.
Hack stores through their own puzzle
Store access uses a connection puzzle. Inspect the available pieces and complete the route before the timer expires; the puzzle is separate from simply eliminating nearby alien enemies.
