The southeastern territories of Hope County are the stalking grounds of Faith Seed, an alluring but damaged woman who uses a drug known as Bliss to ensure blind devotion to the Father. Those who resist are turned into Angels—lobotomized automatons that are used as fodder when attacking any resistant locations. This area is dotted with growing grounds, where the Bliss is harvested, dried, and shipped. Be extremely careful when navigating these fields, especially as the Resistance level increases; Faith uses increasingly real hallucinations to get her way. Don’t lose your mind in the process!
Hope County Jail is the epicenter of the Resistance in these parts. It is currently under siege, and you must help mayor Virgil Minkler, Sheriff Earl Whitehorse, and Tracey Lader—a group the mayor affectionately calls “the Cougars”—fight the Peggies to prove you can resist Faith’s increasingly desperate advances.
