How to find all the collectables in Saints Row

Saints Row Collectables are a vast range of items that, when photographed, can be used to decorate the Church. Saints Row takes the series back to basics, and if the Saints are going back to the Church then they will need to make it look good.

First and foremost, you will need to make a bit of progress into the main story before you will be able to start collecting these items. Without spoiling much, you need to get to the point where the Church becomes your home base, then complete a mission with Kev where he introduces you to find collectables.

The vast majority of the Saints Row collectables are available throughout the open world. Some collectables are rewards for completing missions or side activities, for those you simply need to complete the activity mentioned in the collectable's description. The list below is of the locations of all collectables that need to be found in the city. None are missable, and all are available once you can start seeking out collectables.

Finally, a recommendation. Fairly early on in the main story, you can get a helipad at the Church. This comes with a free helicopter, which is extremely useful for finding collectables. It is much easier to get around the map from the sky, and many Saints Row collectables can be spotted from above. Collectable items have a purple glow that can be seen from a distance, you will need to make use of that.
