Fast travel in the Saints Row reboot doesn’t work how you might think. In a game that largely stays faithful to gameplay and structure of the series, the way fast travel works is a unique twist to the formula. However, this means it might not be immediately intuitive to every player how it works.
As you progress in Saints Row you will be taking on missions further and further away from your home base. While driving or gliding with your wingsuit Batman-style are both viable ways to traverse the desert city of Santo Ileso, unlocking fast travel points early will save you a lot of time in the long run. They don’t take too long to unlock either, you will just have do a little extra busywork to fully unlock fast travel in Saints Row.
How to Unlock Fast Travel in Saints Row
To unlock fast traveling in Saints Row you need to take a photo of the fast travel marker before you are able to use it for warping around the map. These spots are marked on your map and if you hover over the icon you will be able to see a TKTK pop up of the image you will need to recreate in your photo. Mark these locations on your map and drive to them to get your fast travel photo.
To pull out your camera, you’re going to want to open your phone menu and open the camera app. From here, you will need to focus and center the fast travel sign you’re capturing in order to unlock it for use. The game will highlight it once you bring it into your camera’s view and will let you know if you’re too close or far. When the frame lights up green you are good to snap that photo and collect your XP and new fast travel point.
Make sure you are far enough away from the fast travel point you are photographing when you take out your camera. The player character moves extremely slowly while they have the camera out so you’ll want to be in place before you do so.
You’ll want to be checking your map frequently early in the game for fast travel photo opportunities. Unlocking fast travel points is easy once you know what to do and they can save you huge amounts of time. They are definitely a priority in the early hours of Saints Row.
