How to Complete the Close Call Challenge

Learn how to complete the Close Call Challenge in Saints Row (2022). Get tips on driving into oncoming traffic and earning near misses to unlock rewards.

Alright, so you've just finished the 'Making Rent' mission and unlocked a bunch of challenges, including one called 'Close Call.' Don't worry, this one's pretty straightforward and you'll probably knock it out without even trying too hard. It's all about embracing your inner chaotic driver!

Here's the lowdown on what you need to do:

1. Drive into oncoming traffic for 120 seconds. Yep, you read that right. Just go the wrong way down the road.
2. Get 20 near misses in a vehicle. This means getting super close to other cars without actually hitting them.

Honestly, most of us play Saints Row like this anyway, so these objectives should come naturally as you cruise around Santo Ileso. But if you want to speed things up, I've got just the spot for you.

How to Rack Up Oncoming Traffic Time and Near Misses

The best way to tackle both of these at once is to head over to the long bridge that crosses Lake Sebastian. It's a perfect spot because it's usually got plenty of traffic coming your way. Just hop onto the wrong side of the road and keep driving. You'll want to try and weave between the cars, kind of like threading a needle, to get those 'Near Miss' accolades. Staying in the middle of the oncoming lane will rack up your 'Oncoming Lane' time too.

Heads up: If you actually smash into another car, it'll stop your progress on these specific objectives for that moment. But don't sweat it! Both objectives are cumulative, meaning they add up over time. So, just keep at it, even if your driving skills are... questionable. Persistence is key here!
