* Some of the Takedown animations can be pretty amusing. One such example has the Boss [[WoundedGazelleGambit pretend to injure their toe on their would-be victim]] (causing them to [[{{Corpsing}} burst out laughing]]), only for the Boss to kick them square in the chin. Another one has the Boss just grab the victim, pin them to the floor, and ''[[ArmorPiercingSlap bitch-slap]]'' the shit out of them!

** As mentioned above Dustbowl has the boss larp. Their takedowns are changed to reflect this when fighting dustlanders as all of them are the boss mimicking attacking and the "victim" following along with the attack. Also using the weapons from the larp will have victims do the same acting the larpers do even if they're in the middle of being robbed of thousands by the boss.

All it takes to start the activity is simply leaving a bad review in a front owned by any of the gangs of Santo Ileso. Some of the reviews themselves are ''comedy gold'', to say the least.

* When Kev gets kidnapped by the Idols the Boss takes a moment to figure it out, first thinking he is with one of his old date referred as tattoo mom, then they call his cellphone only for male Idol member saying Kev is tied up at the moment, which the Boss thinks is in a kinky way and doesn't press on but still go at the bar to drop something Kevin forgot. Only when he sees the cars in front of the bar being all from the Idols he realized what is going on.

They use a helicopter to pick up the Chief's car with her in it. Eli tells the Boss to knock the car into containers, smokestacks, and finally hold it in a fire getting more unhinged until the Chief caves in. Eli, now completely calm, talks about how fun that was and was originally going to blackmail her over her [[DirtyCop involvement in smuggling artifacts with Los Panteros]]. [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot The Chief is furious over everything they put her through when she would have immediately complied if they blackmailed her]]. To top it off, the Boss drops her off on top of Panther Rock with no way down.

** Also - keep in mind, despite the fact that Boss is insistent on having a murder-free day, not only do they piss off ''all three'' of the enemy factions in Santo Ileso, but they're also still hunted by Marshall for facilitating the Nahualli's breakout during "The Frontier". As expected, a couple of Marshall Security grunts walk into the bar and they ''immediately'' encounter the Saints. And, well... you know the rest.
