Cliff Hudson

Cliff Hudson is a Vietnam War veteran who takes refuge inside Crislip's Home Saloon. He will appear in the morning hours of the second day when Otis contacts Frank about seeing a man with a machete walking around in Crislip's. Supposedly, his granddaughter was Dakota (surname unknown), seen at the "screensaver" of the opening screen.

Story
Cliff confronts Frank as he gazes at the headless zombies suspended from the ceiling, demanding his name and military rank. As Frank doesn't have enough time to answer, Cliff accuses him of being Vietcong and proceeds to attack him.

After he is defeated, Cliff later explains that he became insane after he heard the dying screams of his grand-daughter as she was mauled by the undead. He then confers Frank with a set of keys to unlock an empty store to free his "POWs", and subsequently dies. Frank then closes his eyes out of respect.

Tactics
Cliff's weapon of choice is a bloodied machete, presumably used to hack and slash through zombies. Cliff's special attack is to impale Frank with his machete from behind. Cliff will also jump into opened vents to escape from Frank and reappear on top of the shelves or somewhere else in the store. In doing this, he will also assault Frank with pipe bombs, although a road flare is thrown beforehand as an indicator. Do not take it lightly though, as Frank will have a coughing fit if smoke gets near his face. When he is on the ground, get a powerful melee weapon and attack him when he comes close. When on a shelf, pay avisit to the nearby hunting shack and take a shot gun. Climb up the shelves and open fire with a shotgun. Another way to fight is to climb the shelves and open fire with a sniper rifle when he is on the ground.
