“ | It wasn't always easy. But for a time, there was peace and prosperity. A new home, a new life, a new normal. But like all things in this world... it was too good to last. The Highwaymen came from the East, led by a pair of sisters - Twins. Said they'd heard about our little paradise. Said they wanted it for themselves, we never stood a chance. They took everything from us. Our food, our homes... our people. | „ |
~ Carmina Rye on the Highwaymen's history. |
The Highwaymen is a nationwide confederation of marauders, pirates, bandits and killers made up of loosely cooperating Chapters including the one based in Hope Country, Montana, and the main antagonists of Far Cry New Dawn, a direct sequel to Far Cry 5. Most of their ranks are highly armed and have a large arsenal of weaponry similar to the Project at Eden's Gate. The Hope Country Chapter is led by the sadistic twins Mickey and Lou. The group is known for its lust for violence and entertain themselves with death races and gladiator fights.
History[]
The Highwaymen are a large pirate gang of marauders that were formed sometime after the nuclear apocalypse known as "The Collapse" by a man named Vince, the Twins' father, who was later killed by them after he became a "problem" and his position usurped. Each twin took up a role, with Mickey as the brains and Lou as the muscle. With the Twins in charge, the Highwaymen became one of the most dominant and dangerous gangs all across America. They have chapters in various locations including Florida, Louisiana, Arizona, and Nevada. Each chapter also seemingly functions individually with their leadership, though the leaders of each chapter eventually answer to the Twins.
The Twins however met fierce resistance from the Scavengers (survivors of the Collapse led by Kim Rye) and the New Eden Cult (remnants of PAEG) and waged a brutal war on both groups to control of the region.
After the death of Lou and the death/resignation of Mickey and the raid on their headquarters by the combined forces of both the Scavenger Rebels and the New Eden Cultists, the Highwaymen presence in Hope County was severely crippled but not destroyed entirely as they cannot let go of their marauding ways. Despite being leaderless, the Prosperity people and the Security Captain still continue their fight against them for a long time.
