Is it possible to “win” a gang fight

saints-row-the-third

After several gang fights, where I had to run to a shop in order to reset my reputation, I was wondering if it is possible in any way to actually win the fight.
It seems that once the fight has started, it will last forever (or until you die)…

Because you know, my character is awesome, I hate to have to run away or use tricks like calling for a reputation reset when there are too many enemies to handle…

I've seen it only once and it was during a "wave" event. Once everybody from the last wave is dead, it's over.
Can this happen for "random" gang fight ?

Best Answer

If you get into a fight with random gang members off the street, the violence will continue to escalate until you do something to reset your gang stars. The more of them you kill, the more "gang stars" you will get, and the more enemies will spawn.

Think of these gang fights like getting in trouble with the police in the GTA series - they will just keep coming, in larger waves and with more force, until you die or you lose your wanted level.

There are some challenges that require you to anger or fight with gang members, and sometimes getting into a random fight is the best way to finish these, but otherwise these fights don't earn you anything beneficial (perhaps aside from small boosts to cash and respect).
