I’m going to go over the odd and annoying challenges of the bunch, for the rest of the challenges, refer to the Saints Row 3 Wiki and a full list of all the challenges if you want to view the list outside of the game.

• Find Shortcuts (Just driving around through gaps between buildings and other spots that look like then cut through to another area)

• Hold Up Stores (Find a gun store or any store, and aim at the store clerk, wait for a bit and eventually it’ll count it as you robbing it)
• Streak a while (To enable Streaking, Playa must be effectively nude, wearing no clothing on the torso or abdomen, so that both privacy bars appear on a female. To remove all clothing, first access the Wardrobe, either in a crib or via Clothing Stores. On the “outfits” tab, choose “Remove All Current Clothing”. After all other clothing has been removed, Hats, Masks, Glasses, Gloves, Footwear, and Jewelry can be worn. While Streaking Playa only needs to run in front of a civilian, no extra buttons need to be pressed.)
• Vehicle Surf a while (Stand on top of a car, once it starts moving, balance on the car using the left analog stick)
• Kill Specialists / STAG Commandos (These challenges are annoying if done before finishing the game because gangs will attack you less and STAG will completely disappear.)

Also, note: Challenges for destroying cars, killing enemies, and other killing and destruction based challenges can be done all at once before STAG show up in the game by going on a rampage in different parts of the city, then again when STAG do appear in the city. You can use the Saint’s tank (Unlocked after mission 3) or VTOL (Unlocked after the penthouse) To cause the mayhem.

Ow My Balls! Do your first nutshot AND testicle assault.

For the testicle assault, go up to an enemy and press (R3) This can be achieved during the very first mission of the game as there is nothing preventing you from performing these’s attacks at the start of the game.

Gender Equality Play for at least 2 hours as a male character AND 2 hours as a female character.

For this trophy, you need to play both a male AND female character for at least 2 hours each on the same save file.

Hi-Jack It Steal and deliver all Vehicle Theft targets.

WARNING MISSABLE: Get the STAG N-FORCER BEFORE COMPLETING THE GAME.
