 * Meaningful Name: They don't call themselves the Wasted Clan for nothing.

The Shrouded Clan
A group of exiles from the other bandit clans who have come to together to form this new clan. They quickly prove to be a problem with the citizens of Wellsprings with their annoying RC bomb cars.


 * Start My Own: The whole reason they exist in the first place is because their members were kicked out of the other bandit clans.

The Scorcher Clan
A bunch of religious zealots who worship the asteroid that nearly wiped out the earth. They only attack the protaganist with their cars and foot soldiers are never seen amoung their number.


 * Car Fu: They only appear out in the wasteland driving around and trying to kill anything that isn't one of them.

The Jackal Clan
One of the more powerful, or at least fearsome, clans who are little more than savage berserkers.
