DRW Convicts

The Convicts are three escaped inmates that ride around in a stolen military humvee with a mounted high-caliber machine gun. They occupy Leisure Park, attacking survivors and zombies alike, and when Frank first encounters them, he witnesses them attack Sophie Richards and kill Sid. Frank can take their Humvee when the trio are dead, earning an achievement and a new outfit. Frank is also able to take the gun off the back of their car.

Prisoners
Frank enters the park in the evening as the sun sets to find three escaped prisoners in a Humvee, one driving the vehicle and two armed with a baseball bat and a heavy machine gun. The passenger attempts to swing his bat at Frank but misses. The trio then spot a man and woman (Sid & Sophie) cutting through the park. The convicts successfully kill Sid with a swing of the baseball bat, leaving Sophie frightened and distraught.

Battle Style
The Convicts will roam Leisure Park at their free will, running over and gunning down everything in sight, zombies and humans alike. Sam Franklin drives aimlessly around and often crashes into a bench, tree or lamppost, requiring him to take some time to reverse and get out of the jam, giving Frank a good opportunity to attack with a melee weapon or get a good aim if attacking with firearms. Miguel Sanchez will swing his baseball bat at Frank whenever he is parallel with him. If Sam happens to die before Miguel does, then Miguel will push Sam out of the Humvee and take over as driver. Reginald Jenkins is the most troublesome convict of the three. He uses the HMG and can shoot with precise aim from up close or afar. Once he is dead, he will slump back in his seat and the HMG is up for grabs.

Strategy
There are a few different approaches which can be taken when dealing with the convicts. The safest is to have a Sniper Rifle and climb the picnic shelter in the Leisure Park, accessible by jumping at the side where the roof ends. From here, the convicts can be eliminated without incuring any damage. The more direct approach is to shoot at them from a distance on foot. Taking out the driver will immobilise the vehicle, and prevent it running you down or being difficult to target. Meleeing is considerably more difficult, and the best chance to attack is when the vehicle is stuck and/or reversing.
