Drive fast, do stunts and get amazing upgrades.
Each car has a distinctive skill in saints row (2022). Cars can jump, launch ejection seats, gain unlimited boost, or spawn spiked wheels to slice through enemy vehicles like paper. All of these skills are useful, but you will have to complete car challenges before you can unlock them. That’s the hard part. Some car challenges don’t actually explain how to do what they ask; if you don’t know how to roll, the game never really explains it. And if you are very new to the game, many of these challenges are completely impossible until you unlock a story update that makes doing cool tricks so much easier. Below, we’ll explain how to complete some of the toughest car challenges.
Some of the car challenges are really easy: almost accident? Just drive next to the cars. They don’t even have to be moving. You can drive past parked cars and it still counts towards your Near Miss score. Practical!
