The Volk (Russian for "Wolf"), were one of the three major Antagonistic Forces in Crackdown and likely the second the Player encounters after The Los Muertos. The main district the Volk operates at is and island called: "The Den", a heavily industrialised area located near the south-east of Pacific City.
Background[]
The Volk are a terroristic mercenary Militia organization founded by the Soviet Warlord Kingpin Vladamir Golyak.
Dossier[]
"The Volk (The Wolf), is a beast to be reckoned with. Tired of relentless fighting for poor pay and no recognition, hardened militia from all over Eastern Europe came together to put their skills to more profitable use: organized crime.
The Volk brought with it a strong pack work ethic and a vast horde of munitions and armoured vehicles of war. The mob's "Wolves" embrace strict military discipline and are experts in the use of firearms and explosives.
They bolster their ranks with skilled illegal immigrants and use the rest as a disposable workforce. The Volk controls the entire industrial area of Pacific City, locally known as The Den."

Elimination[]
Once all the generals have been removed and the final high up eliminated, The Mobs remaining soldiers will make a final stand at Pacific City Town Hall. Once all have been taken out, The Den will be free of slavery and freshly rebranded to the name: "Hope Springs".
Defeat[]
"The Volk" is no more now that the last of its workers has been retired. The slave labour is free to formally join the existing citizens and all are united in their relief.
The Agency's Peacekeepers are reclaiming the space, removing all associated grease and grime produced by the Volk occupation. A new name for "the Den" marks a new beginning, "Hope Springs".
Your effectiveness, Agent, is commendable."
