Local Raiders

Plague Raiders

While many enemies have been hated or feared by the people of Hayven and Leeds, few have evoked the same dread as one Theodore Ripley. And there is good reason for this: Ripley created not just mechanical weapons, but living ones that will haunt the Barrens for generations to come. He engineered his own twisted form of Bad Brain, and even went as far as to create his own grotesque clan of raiders. These Plague Raiders, as they’ve been dubbed, stalk the forest and seek to infect as many people with Ripley’s Compulsive Bad Brain as they possibly can. Armed with syringes and wicked weaponry, they’re an infectious threat like few others in the wasteland. And while Ripley himself seems to have disappeared off the map in recent times, it’s clear that the Plague Raiders are here to stay.

Alpha Raiders

The Sawney, a local clan of warriors who communicate only through whistles and clicks, are a threat to Leeds' new residents all on their own. But an unfortunate run-in with Ripley’s mutated Bad Brain has created something far more dangerous: The Alpha Raiders. These raiders follow patterns of behavior that are reminiscent of their previous Lineage lives- hunting in groups, following a clan hierarchy, and whistling to each other. The mutations from the Bad Brain have made them even stronger and more resilient in battle, and if you look closely enough, you may be able to spot a bit of their old Sawney war paint behind the masks they now wear. It’s not advised to get that close, however- it may be the last thing you do.
