The Volk (Russian for "Wolf") were one of the three major gangs of Pacific City in Crackdown and likely the second for the Player to encounter. The main district that the Volk operates in is the Den, which is located in the south-east section of the map. Which specializes in human trafficking.
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".
Background[]
The Volk are a crime organization which conscripts former Russian soldiers. Its troops have military training, strong weapons and great resistance.

The district is heavily industrialised.

After this The Volk are no more and the Den will be renamed: 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.

Your effectiveness, Agent, is commendable."
