Underground (Faction)

The Underground also known as Cannibals, is a minor hostile faction that appear in Tom Clancy's The Division 2. A small faction of unorganised scavengers that rarely appears, it's likely these guys are nomadic and opportunistic scavengers that are hostile to anyone they come across.

Faction Overview
The Underground is a mysterious faction consisting of sewer-dwellers who live underneath Washington, D.C. Nothing is known of their history or their intentions, although they appear to be scavengers who come up to the surface to gather supplies. They are hostile to anybody they encounter. Unusually, Underground enemies have no voice lines whatsoever, and are only audible through their heavy footsteps.

Encounters with the Underground are infrequent and mostly randomized, although they are most commonly found in D.C.'s sewer system, and also come out on the streets at nighttime. They make a scripted appearance in the side missions Beekeeper Jeff, Navy Hill Transmission, and in the beginning of the main mission Federal Emergency Bunker.

Visually, the Underground are identifiable by their all-black clothing, chains worn around their heads, pipes and tubes on their backs and the bright yellow flashlights. The Underground Tank wears heavy armor made from large chains and cinder blocks.
