Dead Rising tips/info

SubNoiZe · 09:43 AM

i found this on the net and thought that i would share with everyone...

Katana
Go up to the second floor, then go to Columbian Roastmasters. Go to the where the cash machine is located, then jump out onto the roof/ledge below. Land on the orange overhang, then look for the katana.
Submachine gun
Jump from the stairs closest to you when you start to the blue ledge above Kid's Choice Clothing. Keep following the walkway past the stuffed bear all the way to the end to find the submachine gun.

Uzi
In the Food Court, go to the sign with the Italian chef. Climb to its left side, then to the top to find an Uzi.

Servbot Head re-alignment bonus
In the toy shop, hit the giant servbot until the swirly eyes are lined up with the sad face for 10,000 pp.

Creating juices
Juices are created by mixing two of any food items in the blender upstairs at Columbian Roastmaster. All juices restore full health, but their effect only last a short amount of time. There are multiple ways to make juices:

Energizer (unknown effect) = Randomizer + Zombait
Nectar (unknown effect) = Orange Juice + Snacks
Randomizer (random effect or stomachache) = Cooking Oil + Snacks
Spitfire (spit becomes deadly) = Baguette + Snacks
Untouchable (invincible to any attack) = Baguette + Pie
Zombait (zombies more attracted to you) = Pie + Snacks

Books
Certain books will give a specific effect:

Weekly Photo Magazine: Skill+ (get a visual cue to indicate prime photo timing)
Sports: Item+ (hold onto sporting goods three times as long as usual)
Camera 1: PP+ (get a 25% boost to PP resulting from photos)
Hobby: Item+ (hold onto toys three times as long as usual)
Engineering: Item+ (hold onto tools and construction related items three times as long as usual)
Horror Novel 2: PP+ (get a 25% boost to PP resulting from defeating zombies)
Entertainment: Item+ (hold onto entertainment related goods three times as long as usual)
Interior Designing: Item+ (hold onto interior designing goods three times as long as usual)

Hint: Bester Fester Beginning
Replay the first few portions of the game first -- save the couple and photograph them hugging for moola points. Kill a few zombies and then die around the parking lot area. When you "save and exit to title", you keep your character's development (and PP values) for the next attempt at the game. You can power up significantly to muscle through the later areas of the game!

oh wow yeah you can definately just sit there and just pass the game!

Yeah i guess you believe everything your friend says dont you.

And about the tips I sorda figured out the last tip when I died for the second time. And I also found out about the Servbot bonus by myself too. But yeah this game really is a challenge. Its not easy thats for sure. You really need to level up before you try to progress through the game. Cuz the Convicts on the Hummer WILL own you no matter what! So you better start whoring your level in the beginning so you can last longer later on.

Ok,if u want to defeat the guys in the park or w/e its called,Get a Submachinegun,when u have that go outside in the park and wait for the prisoners to come around or u go to them.
once u have that done,go to a nearby tree and let the ram into that and they will be stuck,make sure the gunner cant shoot u when u are behind that tree.
Move to the side a little bit and shoot him with th gun and he will die then go to the back of that hummer and grab the big machine gun by pressing B and shoot the other guys and steal the hummer and u will get a achievement!
