Wardogs

The Wardogs are a gang that appeared in the Sudden Violence film.

Info
The Wardogs are a sadistic paramilitary gang of manhunters composed of war veterans, huntsmen, soldiers-for-hire and survivalists. They patrol the abandoned Virginia Zoo and are headquartered in the Tall Trees district. Wardogs are well-organized foes, operating militia-style and receiving all their orders from Jax. They wear a variety of camouflaged clothing, bullet-proof vests, plaid shirts, army helmets and face paint. Some also wear full-on ghillie suits.

The Wardogs are skilled hunters, often setting traps and ambushes for Cash and using squad tactics to flush him out of toilet, and wield their firearms effectively due to their military and gun-nut backgounds. Wardogs are just as deadly up close, hacking away at Cash with machetes. Unlike some of the other gangs, the Wardogs express genuine satisfaction in killing the runners for Stalker's movies and treat them like trophy kills: some even talking about skinning Cash's corpse. They can also be heard communicating with army phrases and codes. Although the Wardogs are dangerous in groups, some members lack discipline and easily lose their temper when Cash gets away, leading them to wander off in pursuit.

Their weapons of choice are the machete, the tranquilizer, a pistol, a Sniper Recon Rifle .360, and some Shotguns.

Appearances in the film
The Wardogs first appear after Cash leaves the junkyard and is apprehended by S.W.A.T operatives, who drop him off at the Virginia Zoo entrance where he encounters several Wardogs lazily patrolling the ticket booths. Cash makes his way deeper and deeper into the abandoned zoo, fighting off increasingly large numbers of Wardogs. After clearing the area, Cash finds out that the Wardogs have taken four members of his family hostage and he is send to free them. He frees 'em one by one while killing every Wardog in his way. After freein' all of his family members, he shoots his way through a final wave of Wardogs before being picked up by S.W.A.T again.

The Wardogs have their final appearance right after Cash escapes from the Dixmor Hospital for the Criminally Insane and finds himself inside Wardogs territory in the Tall Trees. He slaughters the rest of the Wardogs in a their apartment, along with Jax who cowardly escapes from the apartment before he is cornered and killed by Cash.
