How to Rob a Store in Saints Row 3

Last Updated: March 29, 2019

Saints Row 3 allows you to rob a store and take money from it, but doing so will raise the store’s alarm and alert the authorities. The police will then attack you, but you can lose them by outrunning them. The process is similar across all platforms, so it should be universal. To get started, see step 1.

Steps

1
Secure a vehicle. Walk close to a car then press the action button (Y for Xbox, Triangle for PS3, or E for PCs) to enter the vehicle.
2
Drive to the shop that you want to rob. Shops are labelled with shopping cart icons in the main map and the mini map.
- To steer, use the LS pad for Xbox, left analog stick for PS3, and the keys W, A, S, or D for PCs.
- Accelerate using RT for Xbox, R2 for PS3, and W for PCs.
- Brake using LT for Xbox, L2 for PS3, and S for PCs.

3
Exit your car. Once you’ve arrived at the store you want to rob, exit the vehicle by pressing the action button again.
4
Enter the store. When at the store, walk in like you normally would to avoid alerting the clerk.
5
Walk to the counter, and point your gun at the clerk’s head. Click the Right analog stick (for consoles) or hold the Right mouse button (for PCs) to aim.
6
Keep aiming at the clerk’s head. Do NOT shoot. Wait for the clerk to raise his hands, and the alarm should set off.
7
Pick up the money. The clerk will drop money on the floor or counter; quickly pick it up by pressing the action button.
8
Outrun the authorities to avoid capture and losing your money. Run back to your car and drive—fast. If you continue moving and don’t kill any authorities, they’ll eventually leave you alone.
- You can also enter your crib or safehouse to get the police off your back.
