Once you have completed your little joyride home while learning to drive your car, the next mission, Making Rent, will begin. Here it becomes apparent that the gang will not be able to pay their rent this month so it is decided that robbing a Payday Loan shop is the way forward.

After the introductory cutscenes are complete, it’s time to head outside.

How To Complete The Making Rent Mission In Saints Row¶

Use the foillowing steps to complete Making Rent and pull of your first heist.

Objective 1: Talk To Neenah¶

Neenah is one floor down working on her car, next to where you should have parked up in the last mission. Your truck has gone but let’s not worry about that continuity issue.

Initiate the conversation with Neenah and she will tell you you need to go and steal a car.

Objective 2: Steal The Car¶

Head North and round the corner to the right. She will tell you “just take the yellow one”, which, at that point, you won’t be able to see but carry on walking and you will see a slightly battered yellow sports car to the right. That’s your ride so hop in.

Objective 3: Hit The Payday Loan Place¶

This bit is a simple stress-free drive to the store. You can still pick up extra XP for near misses and the like in your car so don’t waste the opportunity altogether.

When you arrive at the Payday Loan store it will kick off a big cutscene. You don’t have to do anything to rob the place, which is a shame, it will all happen and before you know it you are back in your car.

Objective 4: Drive To Your Switch Car

Getaway time, get your foot down as the police are racing to the scene of your robbery. Before long they will spin round and give pursuit.

Objective 4.1: Destroy The Cop Cars¶

The cops will try to ram you off the road but you need to get rid of them by sideswiping them. If you are going too slow the damage you cause by ramming them will be minimal. Try to keep your speed up to close to the max and as they pull alongside you, swerve and ram them, Chase HQ style (google it kids!) It shouldn’t take too long to finish them off. You can also shoot them if you wish.

Objective 4: Drive To Your Switch Car¶

Now back to driving to your switch car which is hiding in a scrap yard run by the Panteros. Drive up the entrance and get out and enter the scrapyard.

Objective 5: Take Your Switch Car¶

Hmm, it’s not going to be as easy as that as the Panteros have taken offense to you parking on your land. You are going to have to kill them all.

At this point, you will unlock a Skill, which you can assign on your phone. Just follow the instructions. You probably won’t use it here anyway, even though it looks as though the game would like you to, but, well, it’s easier to just shoot them all.

Objective 6: Take A Dirt Bike¶

Now you get a call that the police are on the way and you should now jump on one of the two dirt bikes that are handily parked at the gate.

Fire her up and follow the trail across the landscape directly in front of you. The bike handles much like the car but is a little twitchier, and more fragile so watch what you plow into. The police will be chasing you but you cannot sideswipe on a bike you you will just have to try and outrace them.

Make your way to the mission marker where the police will throw down a stinger and you will come off your bike. Cue another long cut-scene where you are cornered by the police but Neenah rides to your rescue and gets you out of the hole. Mission complete.
