Navigation: Saints Row Guide > Activities > Drug Trafficking
In Drug Trafficking, you will be riding shotgun and will need to protect the dealer and his buyer as he delivers drugs around the city. The number of drop-offs depends on what level of the mission you are playing, and can be anywhere from 2 to 5 deals. You will also get wanted levels from rival gangs and/or the police.
This one starts off fairly easy and quickly gets to be nightmarishly difficult pretty quickly. I recommend taking a good SMG with you, loaded up with as much ammo as you can carry. As a secondary weapon, a good shotgun is another one to bring along. If you reach a point where you are out of ammo and have to rely on the pistol, it's pretty much over. Good luck with that.
I found that the best strategy, once the dealer parks and gets out to make a deal, is to just stay in the van (or whatever vehicle you start off in) and just shoot people from inside, unless you absolutely have to get out for some reason (e.g. someone is shooting your dealer out of your line of fire or he goes down and needs to be revived). The initial vehicle is actually pretty strong and can take quite a beating, so use it as body armor and don't risk getting smoked.
While going from deal to deal you are going to be harassed by the police and/or the rival gang member vehicles. The best thing to do is to try to take out the drivers. You will use up a lot of ammo trying to destroy the cars, and all that time they are going to be shooting back. Killing the drivers is a quick and easy way to get them to stop shooting at you.
In some of the later missions, your car is most likely going to burst into flame. This would be a good time to get out and find a new car. Don't worry, the dealer will follow you into whichever car you select. Now, the new vehicle won't be nearly as strong as that first one you had, so expect to have to change out on a regular basis. I found that once this happens, it gets much harder to finish the mission. Do the best you can, there's no real good advice I can give other than to be ready to switch out cars quite a bit.
