* Dwight Boykin's role in the game is saddening because he is the only Psychopath in the series that is shown becoming a Psychopath; when arriving in Fortune City he was admirable, showed loyalty to the men under his command, and showed that he truly wanted to save the survivors. When his squad was slaughtered in front of him, he was forced to flee and had become insane with SurvivorsGuilt and began to attack the very survivors who he came to save from the outbreak.
