Easiest Way To Make Respect!

This guide will show you the fastest (And well-known) way to earn respect in Saints Row the Third. You can do this almost as soon as you start the game and get right into grinding. It may take anywhere from 45-120 mins to get to max level (Depending on the Respect upgrades you have.)

Introduction

So I am bored and have nothing to do so I decided to create the handy guide for people that want to level up quickly in the Game of Saints Row III. Now, most people will already know of this certain strategy for grinding Respect (The XP of the game). BUT, I'm here to give the new players to this game an easy way to get respect. I leveled up 21 times with no Respect bonuses in only 30 mins, the more bonuses, the faster this will go.

Set-Up

Inorder to setup for this grinding method, there are two things you will need.
1. To Unlock the Penthouse
2. To obtain a Eagle Attack Helicopter
These are simple things to acheive. You can get the Penthouse by completing the mission "Party Time" (The second mission you do). Once you unlock it you will see this.

You will then spawn inside the penthouse and it will be your new crib! next, you need to get to the guard armory. This can be found on the maps below.

(This is a zoomed picture to show exactly where you will be going inside the Amory)

(Full picture of map to show generic location)

You should NOT go there via any air vehicle due to the fact that when I attempt to go via aricraft, the choppers at the armory will not spawn (The landed ones anyway). The only way that you can get the helicopters to spawn that I have been able to find is going into the armory in a car. Getting inside isn't hard and you should be able to get the helicopter (The helicopter spawns exactly where I put my waypoint in the pictures above. There are going to be multiple helicopters at the location of which the waypoint is set. There is only one that you need. And only this one will work. You are looking for the one with guns on the side. (Again, my waypoint mrks the EXACT spot that this thing spawns. The other helicopters will be on other helipads or infront of the helipads) The coppper you get into should look exactly like this.

Once you get into the helicopter you just need to book it back to the Penthouse Saints HQ and store the vehicle by landing on the helipad and pressing "E" (This is the default keybind, you may have it set-up differently). Your helipad garage should look a little bit like this.
(The DLC isn't needed and you may have other personal aircraft but the Eagle is what you must have)

Beginning the Grind

You know have all that you need to start the grind. Retrive your Eagle from the helipad and go to the location shown on the maps below.

(Zoomed in picture of what the location looks like)

(Zoomed out picture of what the location looks like)
The location that you should be at should look like this.
You then need to approach the gang activity will you see the red icons to kill them appear. Once thise happens you need to back away from the ship until the icons are gone. Procede to move forward towards the side of the boat and start mowing down the enemies. They will respawn instantly and with your attack copter you have rockets and a machine gun with infinite ammo so you can kill them easily.
You shouldn't need to worry about dying while grinding. The enemies are either being spawn-trapped by you or are on the dock (You should be on the ocean side of the boat) so they will never hit you.

(The best location to aim your fire is on the white strip on the boat not covered by crates, this is where they respawn every time.)
Know all you do is hold down both of your fire buttons and get slowly move your reticule up and down the white strip where they respawn. Overtime you will build up crazy combos and the Respect will flow in easily.

(Example of what you can excpect to see)
This can take awhile and you will need something to distract you. Here are some of the things that I do while I grind out the levels
-Listen to music
-Talk to friends
-Listen to podcasts
-Watch a show on a second monitor or phone
-Eat food

The one thing that you can do to increase the speed of this grind is to buy Respect bonuses which you can find in the Bonuses section under the Upgrade app on your phone. (In-game of course)
It may seem like a little bonus but it will boost your speed ALOT.

(Picture showing an example of the upgrades)
The only thing that I have left to say is that the Eagle is the BEST vehicle to use, I have used others but they never work as well as the Eagle. Even the VTOL.

Nice, this worked very well for me! Perfectly balanced as usual.

Even though Spiffing Brit never made a video about this exploit so.

[Tali]

thank you very much
works perfectly

if they stop spawning just go back and forth a bit and they will come back
just dont kill them when they have red circles over their heads

[TomTheFoolery]

wait after some time they stop respawning...

[TomTheFoolery]

idk how that works bur it seriously works the respawn go and again and again and...

[stylez]

I can't get them to respawn unless I fly away and come back. I get to the point where they have the red target icons, then back up just enough that the icon goes away. Kill them all, and nothing happens.

[mentibee]

if they don't instantly you have to fiddle around with where you position your eagle, but eventually you will get it. you'll know because you'll see enemies spawning in midair.
