The Ship, Hacking Stores, Taking over Districts | Gameplay Elements Saints Row IV Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The Ship

The Ship is in area where you can talk to the members of your crew, or even romance them. It's also where you start most of the side quests missions.

To get to The Ship, cross one of the Gateways. As you go through the campaign, you'll unlock more and more of them.

Hacking Stores

After completing "The Escape", all stores will be locked. To be able to use them again, you're going to need to hack them. Stand in front of a store and press E to open the hacking panel.

The task is simple - you need to draw a line from point A [1] to point B [2]. On the right, you have available parts [3] from which you need to draw it. Keep in mind that there's a time limit [4]; if you can't hack the store before the time runs out, hacking will become unavailable for a while, and aliens will show up on the location.

Taking over Districts

To take over a district, complete every activity within it - even hacking every store. You can view your progress in the top right corner of the screen after hovering the mouse cursor over the district.
