Highwaymen

The Highwaymen is a nationwide confederation of marauders, made up of loosely-co-operating Chapters, including one based in Hope County. The Highwaymen are ruthless, callous opportunists who care nothing for civilians and see them as target practice or resources. They are an extremely violent group who play loud music that can be heard in the distance, and entertain themselves with death races and gladiatorial fights.
Most of their ranks are highly-armed and have a large arsenal of weaponry and heavily customised vehicles, similar to the Project at Eden's Gate. 
None of the other chapters are known by name. They are referred to offhandedly as "The Other Chapters" or "The Eastern Chapters". The Hope County Chapter is led by the Twins, Mickey and Lou, during the events of Far Cry New Dawn.
==History==
The Highwaymen are a gang of marauders that came to prominence after the nuclear holocaust and also pillage, enslave, or kill anyone and anything in their path. They were founded and led by the Twins' father, Vince, until they killed him after he became a "problem", usurping his position. Each twin took up a role, Mickey as the brains and Lou as the muscle. The Twins have proven to be successful leaders, despite their differences. Ever since the twins took over, the Highwaymen became one of the most dominant gangs in America. The Highwaymen have chapters all across America, including Louisana, California, and the Grand Canyon. Each chapter of the Highwaymen seems to compete with one another to try to become the most powerful. Each chapter also seems to function individually with their leadership, though the leaders of each chapter still answer to The Twins.
The Twins, however, met resistance from the Scavengers and the New Eden cult in Hope County and waged a brutal war on both groups for control of the region.
After the death of Lou and the death/resignation of Mickey, the loss of their leadership and the raid on their headquarters by the combined forces of Prosperity's people and New Eden, the Highwaymen in Hope County are severely crippled but still active as they cannot let go of their marauding way. This causes Prosperity's people and The Security Captain to continue fighting them for a long time.
==Ranks==
They are also known for having Levels ranging from I to III which impacts their combat ability like Hitpoints. For example, Level Is are vulnerable to headshots, killing them instantaneously. Level IIs have ballistic face-masks that need to be destroyed before headshots become anteriorly-effective; however, they are immediately vulnerable to headshots from the posterior. Level IIIs have a full-face helmet that fully protects them from headshots. Not only from the hitpoints bar you can also see differences visibly from their armour. They all have red-painted Level I Rusty Weapons.

==Symbol==
The Highwaymen's symbol is the crude drawing of an eye surrounded with outward lines. It can be found abundantly painted, sprayed or drawn in graffiti in whatever locations they reside.
The reason for this choice remains unknown.
The symbology regarding the eye is ancient. In the Highwaymen's case, two instances could have inspired its rendition:
*The Eye of Providence, also known as the All-Seeing Eye, features a centred eye, with surrounding "glory", or outward rays. However, it usually features a triangle that is lacking in the Highwaymen's case. An image in Christian iconography, it represents Divine Providence (the intervention of God on Earth).
*A Hamsa amulet often features an eye at the centre of its palm, and sometimes the eye is surrounded by outward lines. One of its most popular uses is the warding off of the evil eye. If this is the case, the Highwaymen's choice reveals a pervading superstition, grounded in a symbol that predates the fall of the bombs.
Some units in the RTS game Warcraft 3 have the True Sight ability; its symbol resembles the said eye.
They also have graffiti design in black and white, featuring not only the eye design but also some other random symbolism. The graffiti design is also featured in exclusive official wallpapers.
== Trivia==
*Unlike Pirates, the Royal Army, and other enemy factions in the Far Cry series, taking over all Highwaymen strongholds doesn't decrease their spawn rate throughout the map.
*Also unlike any other Far Cry factions, the Highwaymen are the most reckless faction, danger is more attractive than common sense. 
*Their clothing has Kōsokudōro コーソクドーロ letters, they mean highway in Japanese. However, it does not mean highwayman and how they get their own brand of clothing in the post-apocalyptic world is unclear.
*Rush and his group had no previous knowledge of the Highwaymen. Oddly, there's a chapter in San Francisco, which is in California where Rush previously operated.
*They are the second enemy faction to be shown having children in the gang, the first was the Udam Tribe.
