Psychopaths

In addition to battling thousands of zombies. Frank West, Chuck Greene, Nick Ramos, and Dick Baker must also deal with psychopaths: humans who have either gone mad due to the zombie outbreak or are otherwise corrupt or evil and thus serve as the games' bosses. Defeating them usually has a beneficial side-effect such as access to new areas, rescuing certain survivors, and/or unique weapon drops.

Incidentally, not all of the "psychopaths" are genuinely insane. For example, the Convicts are a trio of criminals who escaped prison, commandeered a military Humvee and are simply taking advantage of the outbreak by causing chaos without having to worry about the police. Jo Slade is simply a crooked cop doing whatever she wants. The Looters rob Fortune City, taking advantage of the fact that nobody can stop them. Brock Mason is a cold-blooded career soldier assigned to contain the Willamette incident at any cost. Snowflake is simply a hungry Tiger, but can be rescued. Cletus Samson and the Hall Family are just overly cautious and kill anyone who they deem a threat.

At times, the game considers normal people to be psychopaths until defeated for the storyline. Isabela Keyes, for example, is entirely sane, but must be defeated by Frank in combat to get her to listen to him. Afterwards, she becomes an ally and plays a major role in the story. And Diego who went into shock after discovering the zombie that was believed to have started an outbreak in a basketball game had the number 4 tattooed onto his neck, just like himself which made him go into shock attacking Nick as a result. Others, like Kent Swanson and Kenny, appear to be friendly at first, but later become psychopaths. But some bosses like Kenny or Paul Carson, can be saved as a survivor after defeating them.
