Dang. I just let him waddle his ass around.

I remember I was trying to grab a bunch of survivors at once, when I ran into the situation of having two survivors that needed carried. Kind've bugged me that I couldn't just hand off one of my people to one of the other able-bodied NPCs that were traveling with me.

That bugged me to, I could understand this in the first one since it came off as an experiment in its gameplay (while still fun), however, this one improves on nearly every gripe the first one had without any reason why that couldn't be fixed.

Seriously, I thought the Utility Cart could be used as a makeshift wheelchair, or those motorized Carts you find in the underground would fit one person in the back. No such luck though.

I love this game, as well as the first, but I wish there was an adequate reason why do more improvision beyond using anything as a weapon.

On that note, anyone know if the four seat Hummer can fit more than one survivor?

To answer my own question, yes, the expensive as all hell Hummer does seat four people.

On that note, anyone got any tips for achievement hunting?

Imma going achievement hunting. Got the ones for taming Snowflake and having 8 survivors in the party and the ultimate goal is to get the one for saving 50 survivors.

Also need some co op ones so any one who wants in on that let me know.

The games fun, co-op is fun but 75% of the time I can't find a game or get denied, or when I do the person is just out of it and nothing, not even fun, is accomplished. I'm surprised by all the combo weapons it makes me very happy to see. There were a lot I would of have never guessed.

I just wish TIR was longer and I'm not sure exactly how many games they have within it hopefully I still haven't played them all or they'll be a let down.

There are 9 different TIR matches.

Ball Buster
Zomboni
Bounty Hunter
Ramsterball
Headache
Master Shafter
Stand up Zomedy
Pounds of Flesh
Slicecycles

Incidently, Slicecycles is always the last game, the other are random.

Also, here's a treat, if you earn $1,000,000 in winnings then you unlock a TIR helmet in story mode. If you win $5,000,000 you earn the TIR jumpsuit.

Who's Snowflake and why do I have to tame him?

I would totally join yous but I got a feeling you're playing the 360 version.

Snowflake is a Bengal Tiger fought alongside a psycopath. You can either kill him/her or find the way to tame him/her. Then he/she counts as a survivor.

For those of you who still can't beat the chef, there is a way you can beat him without losing any health/healing items... all you need is the sports car and your set. once you have the car, drive over to the kitchen without damaging the car to much and after the cutscene get back in the car and keep ramming the chef until he dies.

Also what weapons/tatics would you recomend to beat Slappy and the TIR biker quickly? I can do it but I'm just short of time..

For Slappy, the LMG works wonders. Though you may need to follow up with a Shotgun if you run out of ammo.

For Leon Bell, the Boxing glove+Bowie Knife combo will shred him apart if you goat him into getting himself stuck. If you don't have that, then make the Electric rake at the maintainence room where you fight him.

Going to get this game on Tuesday and i have a question would it be a good idea to stock up on money first in the TIR matches? and if so in ranked matches the amount of points you get at the end of the match even if your in last place do you still get to cash out your points or do you have to be in first place?

Oh yeah I noticed his poster in the casino, I haven't found the actual tiger yet though.

One, yes, play a few TIR matches to get a hang on the controls and to have some money. However, unless you plan to buy the super expensive, OMG! priced items, then money is of little concern in the game. Some survivors even give you money for saving them (while a couple requires you to pay them, but hey, they're cheap).

Two, yes, you still get paid regardless of what you place in. Whether you're in first or fourth you get paid an amount equal to the points you earned in the competition.

Snowflake is found in the Yucatan Casino, as soon as you enter the place. I think you can only fight him/her on the first day.

Cool i'll play a few matches beforehand and get ready first thanks for the info!

I'll add you a bit later.

I got the achievement for getting 50 survivors and then of course, I missed the Data Miner achievement by not getting to the Tape it or Die crew in time meaning I have to restart the story and wait until day 3.

And that reminds me, will you still get calls about survivors even if you fail to do case missions?

Jesus christ. Why are the story quests in this game so much easier than the side quests? Those psycopaths are ridiculously hard. All of them.


I usually frequent the VG and collaboration Forums. If you find me anywhere else, I'm lost and can't find my way back.

Response to Offical Dead Rising 2 Thread. 2010-10-08 00:12:30


With the trophy/acheivment, Data Miner is it where you have to find and rescue all the survivors or what?

I am confused by this trophy...

Thanks, I'll be waiting.

As for the Tape it or Die crew, you have to find them on around 8:00 a.m. on Day 3, give them a plate and cement saw, then wait till Day 4 till you can actually rescue them. A pain, but, hey.

Yes, you still get calls and non-scoop survivors even if you miss the Case Files.

As for Bogkid, Hero of Fortune City is where you actually have to rescue everyone, Data Miner means you just have to meet them. If any dies/defects/mutiny/whatever, then you can't get Hero of Fortune City, but by just having their entry in the notebook will award you with Data Miner.

I got ending S today and it was a epic playthrough, killed every phycopath except one of the snipers and rescued about 97 survivors but the point is am I the only one that hates Stacey? *SPOILERS AHEAD*

I'm saying I hate her mainly because in all the endings apart from ending S she's responsible for Chuck dying:
In ending F she fails to stop one zombie from coming in the door when Chuck can stop about 50 at once and all stacey does is watch the secruity cameras.
In ending A-D she's also responsible for Chuck's death due to Katey's backpack dropping and Stacey not being able to hear it but surely you can hear a backpack dropping on the ground with items in it...?
Finally when you find out that Sullivan is responsible for the outbreak why doesn't Stacey aim for Sullivan's head instead of the hand with the baseball bat..?
Though of course Stacey does do good at looking after Katey I guess...? *SPOILER END*

end of rant.

Chuck has survived at least two zombie outbreaks, so of course he can fight several zombies. That said however, just because YOU the player can make Chuck (or Frank for that matter) go Rambo on zombies doesn't mean he really could storywise. Stacey apparently has no experience in self-defense and, contrary to what your health bar says, one nasty bite is all it takes to get someone infected. Anyone would hesitate knowing that ('cept Chuck, but as I said, he's already survived two outbreaks).

In ending A-D she's also responsible for Chuck's death due to Katey's backpack dropping and Stacey not being able to hear it but surely you can hear a backpack dropping on the ground with items in it...?

That only happens in Ending A, and if you notice how she says "Can't we just leave it?", probably means she didn't know it carried mementos. That, and she was probably just relieved that rescue was there so she didn't pay much attention.

Finally when you find out that Sullivan is responsible for the outbreak why doesn't Stacey aim for Sullivan's head instead of the hand with the baseball bat..?

Ok, this one has no excuse. Sure, she might not have wanted Sullivan to fire the gun so she aimed for his hand, but she could have swung hard enough to break his arm at least.

The Chopper can be found in the Yucatan Casino, on top of some slot machines (it's a bike, duh).

The help with the Poker challenges you can get the 3 gambling magazines, found in Ragazines (Royal Flush), Shamrock Casino (Silver Strip), and Stan's...something (I forget the name, but a store on the second floor Palisades Mall).

Hope this helps Demon.

I assume you didn't rescue 50. Remember, about 12 suvivors automatically make it to the bunker at the beginning.

To get the trophy/achievement, you have to physically bring back a total of 50 survivors, not that there are 50 safe in the bunker.

You should get it when your notebook says that there are about 60 suvivors safe.

I think you have to get "Safe" to 62. About 12 people are already in the bunker.
