The new Saints Row is here, and the developers at Deep Silver Volition definitely made sure to listen to what the fans wanted. As a result, the game has turned out to be a terrific experience for gamers who enjoy its style of action-adventure. However, while Saints Row does take into account what makes open-world games fun, there's one aspect of the game that might be a stumbling block for some players: fast travel.
In Saints Row, players will only unlock two fast travel points through the normal course of playing the game's story. They will have to go seek out the rest of the fast travel points themselves if they want to unlock them. Given the fact that the game's map is fairly enormous, this guide will lend a hand to players trying to track them down.
The Apartment
The Apartment, located in the Mercado area, is the first fast travel point that players will reach in Saints Row, and one of only two that unlock automatically through the game's main missions. Complete the first main story mission, and the ability to fast travel to the protagonist's home will unlock.
The Church
The Church, located down by the Old Town Shoreline, is the other fast travel point that unlocks automatically. After completing the ninth main story mission, "Take Me To Church," the official headquarters of The Saints will unlock as a fast travel point.
Panther Rock
In order to unlock more fast travel points, players must visit the specific landmarks tied to those points and snap a picture of each one with the in-game smartphone camera. Standing in between the Apartment and the Church, the Panther Rock landmark in West Providence is likely the first one of these fast travel points that most players will find.
Twin Coyote
The Twin Coyote landmark is found on the eastern side of the map, far out into the Rojas Desert North area. While it may seem intimidating at first to scour the desert for this fast travel location, players should already have a map marker out in that area for the Twin Coyote Arcade. The actual landmark, a statue of two coyotes playing on an arcade machine, is practically right on top of it.
Bear Lake
In order to find the Bear Lake fast travel landmark, players should head up to the northern side of the map into the Marina West area. Bear Lake itself is a small lake in that section of the map. When players find this lake, they should look out onto the water and take a picture of the big statue of a bear and a rabbit sitting together.
Cactus Bill
Over on the western side of the big lake in the center of the map, in the Lakeshore South area, players will be able to find a pair of giant cactus statues. These statues aren't too far from one of the first few Criminal Venture locations and can be seen clearly from the main road, so they're pretty hard to miss. Taking a photo of the cactus statue to the South is what is needed to unlock this fast travel point.
Lone Wolf
Much like with the Twin Coyote fast travel point, the Lone Wolf point is also tied to a map marker out in the desert -- this time on the southwestern side of the map called Badlands South. Head out to the Lone Wolf Motel, snap a photo of the big wolf statue just out front, and this fast travel point opens up.
El Dorado
The final fast travel point to unlock in Saints Row is found in El Dorado, the casino area of the city that resembles Las Vegas. This point might be the easiest to find of them all, as the El Dorado section is a fairly obvious sight even from very far away. Head there, take a picture of the big El Dorado sign from the West side, and the final fast travel point becomes available.
