The Last of Us Part II - WLF.png
There will be two factions in the game, which are fighting for control over areas and resources. The more militarized “Washington Liberation Front”, also known as “WLF”, who are armed with equipment stolen from the military, and the Religious “Seraphites”, also known as “Scars” because of the self inflicted scars on their faces.

Guard Dogs

Dogs
The WLF also has trained dog companions that can smell out your scent trail to get to you! When you kill one of these dogs, and the owner find it, your cover will be blown, so you need to be careful of the smart AI!
