Revision as of 23:53, 11 April 2014
The Department of Unified Protection (abbreviated as DUP) is a government agency in inFamous: Second Son. It is an organization created to arrest or kill all Conduits, relabeled by the DUP as "bioterrorists," to ensure that the events of Empire City and New Marais are not repeated. [1] The director of the DUP is a woman named Brooke Augustine. The DUP appears to recruit "Bioterroists," as officers capable of manipulating the earth and teleportation have been seen fighting Delsin Rowe.
Aims and Goals
The only known goal of the organization is to ensure that the Empire Event, and other "bioterrorist" attacks, never reoccur. Whether a higher, more sinister vision drives the DUP is neither confirmed nor speculated.
Variants
Main Article: Department of Unified Protection/Types
Vehicles
APC (Armored Personnel Carrier)
The DUP patrol Seattle in these armored vehicles and will be on the look out for any Bioterroists in the act of using their powers. Bioterriosts can avoid confrontation if they keep a low profile. As the situation in Seattle becomes more desperate stronger soldiers are sent to patrol in these vehicles and some may even have an automatic turret mounted to the roof.
Helicopters
An attack helicopter will be sent out against any Bioterriost that is deemed a large threat. They are also stationed at some of the mobile command centers on the second island of Seattle in order to defend them. The only attack they are capable of is to shoot a number of missiles after acquiring their target, if not avoided they are capable of dealing fatal damage to even the most powerful of Conduits.

Trivia
- Like the Vermaak 88 DUP soldiers are not prime conduits. This means they are people with the conduit gene who have had the powers of another conduit imbued into them rather than having their own abilities develop naturally.
- Sucker Punch created a real telephone line that can be called at 1-844-HELP-DUP (1-844-435-7387). Calling the number plays a pre-recorded message from in-game character Brooke Augustine about the Conduit gene.
- The D.U.P. were the prime authority on all Conduit related matters and had the power to, if necessary, suspend civilian rights and place cities under marshal law in order to deal with Conduit threats.
- However they were not popular with everyone as evidenced by the many people who supported Conduits rights and Anti-DUP organisations.
- According to the audio logs left by the DUP informant, the DUP considered multiple Conduit powers to infuse into their troops. They wanted one that was "visually strong, easy to train, and versatile". All plant and organic based powers were rejected as they made people feel uneasy, wire proved too hard to control and paper failed to convey strength and security. Glass was a surprisingly strong choice but also proved too difficult to master in the end. Finally, Augustine's concrete power was chosen as the only viable option.
- Concrete energy can be regained from draining it from fallen DUP soldiers, rather than from the Seattle environment itself.
