    In the UK we mostly know them as Sausage Dogs, I didn't pick up on that it doesn't look long enough but maybe they stretch more as they grow as it's only young
    For anyone on Twitter there is a tiny clip of this dog HERE it looks much more like a Dachshund in that clip, thanks for pointing it out.

    It's the same in the United States. Sometimes people call them wiener dogs but I don't.

    The chariot is a special skin, normally it's just a dog wheelchair. Interesting they added that in the first place, may also be a nod to Hector.

    I doubt it since the game is about a revolution not a drug cartel.

    It's not a special skin specifically for the libertad pack, within the game it is still portrayed like that.

    I've realized that the libertad pack also has the disc launcher. I wonder from which sci-fi media this franchise inherited it from.

    Fantasy aficionados will be in for a treat but people who look for a more believable presentation have long departed from the franchise.

    Far Cry New Dawn's saw launcher reminds me of Unreal Tournament's Ripper and Ripjack. In Half Life 2 you have the gravity gun with saws lying around waiting to be used against zombies.
