* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Francis [=McReary=], Agent Hill, the head of the Liberty City branch of the FIB, and CIA Director Paul Ross are not afraid to fight the zombies alongside their guys in the field.

Either he sat behind those strong walls back there and waited for the Marines to come rolling through in five days' time, or he went out and actually tried to save the remaining people of Algonquin from the nightmarish fate that awaited them at the hands of the zombie hordes.

Fighting For Survival needs to go per TRS


* FightingForSurvival: As the plague spreads, the survivors become much more battle hardened and able to help out Niko and his crew. These include:
** The Pack - The LCPD after they become more competent at fighting the zombies.
** Soldier Ants - The civilians who manage to survive the initial outbreak, especially [[spoiler: Luis Lopez's small army of former club bouncers and [=DJ=]s]] who are more than able to survive on their own.
** Lions - Commissioner [=McReary=], who quickly turns the LCPD into an effective fighting force against the undead.

Dying Like Animals was supposed to be cut months ago per TRS, so these examples need to go


* DyingLikeAnimals : Very true for a world as cynical as that of GTA. Specific examples include:
** Lambs - The citizens of Algonquin island. While the rest of the city descends into anarchy they do very little to help,prepared to sit behind the walls and LCPD barricades around them.
** Boars - The LCPD at first. This is shown especially by one of the officers in chapter four who needlessly sacrifices himself as his comrades are being torn apart by the undead.
** Wolves - The looters and the Chinatown Triads. Both groups are well armed and manage to survive, but are more than willing to kill other survivors to do so.
** Weasels - Ironically enough,the reporters of Weazel News fit this trope. As Broker burns around them,they use their helicopter to get exclusive images of survivors running from the undead while making no attempt to help them.
