Survivalists

The Survivalists are an antagonistic faction in Homefront. They are only fought in the level Heartland. The group in Utah is led by a man known only as "The Captain".

Overview
Survivalists, according to Connor Morgan, have been preparing themselves for the end of the world since before the Y2K scare. During the collapse of the United States economy, Survivalist ideologies became very popular. When the GKR first attacked in 2025 the Survivalists retreated to large camps in the vast countryside of Utah and other states. Even though they are American, they hold little to no allegiance toward the Resistance, simply fighting for themselves and even are not above giving captured Resistance fighters to the Korean People's Army in exchange for some form of payment. They are extremely racist towards anyone of East Asian descent due to aforementioned Korean aggression, prompting some groups to lynch Asian-Americans, and even capturing KPA soldiers and possibly other ethnic East Asians as slave labor. They also took joys in torturing and toying with their captives.

Boone Karlson of the Montrose Resistance cell made an arrangement with the Survivalists in order to use their helicopter for the Resistance's operation in helping the U.S. military in San Francisco. However, the Survivalists quickly reneged on their deal after learning that Boone was killed by the KPA and turned on what remains of Boone's Resistance group. They then make a new offer: giving over Hopper Lee and Rianna (heavily implying of using Rianna for sexual pleasure and killing or enslaving Hopper for his Korean ancestry) and be allowed to walk away. This forced the Resistance to fight the Survivalists and taking their helicopter by force. It is possible that the Survivalists disbanded afterward as half of their members were killed and they are now leaderless.
