Militia Men[]
- Main article: Militia Men
Johnny and his hunting pals murder an innocent man that was wandering in Fortune Park. He and his friends go on about how they believe the zombies and survivors are communists sent to destroy democracy. They are determined to cleanse America of these "traitors", one city at a time.
Johnny is located above Royal Flush Plaza. A ladder to the maintenance room side by side with the Slot Ranch Casino.
Battling Johnny[]
Johnny is deadly with a sniper rifle and should be dealt with carefully if attempted to be fought using long distance weapons. Up close in melee combat, he will use a bowie knife and is quick. Chuck can take down Johnny using a quick melee weapon or a firearm from a far.
