what do you mean at any one time. thing is all those survivors i mentioned were with me at the same time. i managed to rescue them all but nothing...
I mean, you have all 8 with you, but it seems thats not the problem, dunno how I can help you.

[AOS Puck]

what do you mean at any one time. thing is all those survivors i mentioned were with me at the same time. i managed to rescue them all but nothing...

Just to clarify, you had all 8 of the women running around the mall with you at the same time, right? Or do you mean that you had saved those 8 and they were all up in the Security Room?

If you had all 8 running around the mall with you at the same time, it's a glitch in your game and you'll have to start a new game and get the 8 women again.

If you didn't have all of them running around the mall with you at the same time, you don't get the achievement. It doesn't matter who is in the Security Room, the achievement only counts for who you have "attached" to you while you are running around the mall.

Try the guide that graf1k made. I used this one and I got both the Frank the Pimp and Tour Guide achievements.

I've taken the helicopter down two different ways:

1. I took it down with 3 shots from a sniper. The hard part about this is that you have to be a really good shot. I watched it's flight path and set myself up so that I had a clear shot at the tail rotor while it was flying perpendicular to myself. I fired off two quick shots into the rotor (make sure to lead the rotor a little depending on your distance) and then blindly fired off a third shot as it flew towards me.

2. The second time I did it, I used the real Mega Buster and a lot of patience/luck. The bullets from the Mega Buster travel slow so you need to really lead the helicopter. It took a few pass and most of the Mega Buster ammo, but it worked.

No matter which way you do it, the key thing is to aim for the small back rotor, not the helicopter itself.

[Skillet]

I need 67, 68 and 69. Do you know exactly when they show up? I have the pic ov the vent...

[Gavin Da Budgie]

i was lugging 8 of them with me at the same time. i tried using the guide on the achievement site but i guess i ran into the glitch...i will have to restrain my anger and have another go this weekend with the other guide.

thanks anyway :)

[invincible rob]

They are in the gun shop where cletus was, watch out though DO NOT RUN IN they will all fire at the same time and it's difficult to move.

[Gavin Da Budgie]

i only have to get the dudes in the gunshop and the guy that kent is holding hostage.

is there any specifics apart from having them show up. like do you have to take a picture and have a description as all the stuf above has confused me.

[DeathandChaos]

When you say machine gun your refering to the SMG like thing? The thing on the blue awning above the warehouse door?

[shiningcheese]

When you say machine gun your refering to the SMG like thing? The thing on the blue awning above the warehouse door?
No not the SMG, the machine gun. It is the weapon all of the special forces soldiers carry in over time mode and the last 12 hours of 72 hour mode. You kill the special forces soldiers to get the gun. The only other place you can get a machine gun is a survivor you save in the Huntin Shack around midnight on day 3. The survivor is holding the machine gun and you can give them a different weapon and they drop the machine gun.
:uzi::locked

[DeathandChaos]

Can you get some PP Stickers on one play through and will they be carried over if I stay a new game?

[DeathandChaos]

Thank you. So if the special forces aren't coming for example then you can't get the machine gun untill you start over?

[Skillet]

I would like to know exactly WHEN the ones in the gunshop show up...I already know what to do when I get there.

[Skillet]

That's how I did it! Very easy after I learned to do it that way.

[Daggett X]

I had no problems unlocking 5 day survivor. Timers still going towards 7 days of which i made a huge mistake that nearly cost me dearly. I was running towards the rooftop door into the warehouse with about 6 blocks of Health. I dropped down not seeing that Kent was below and he kicked me into a corner and kept shooting me. I barely got round the corner with 1 block of life left to replenish my Health. :drunk

Edit - Got the 1000 GS for Dead Rising now, will sign into Xbox live to update my gamertag later today.

[shiningcheese]

this game gives you the most satisfying feeling whenever you get 1000 gs in this game. Sadly for me I felt like playing more so i got my friend some achievements in it. The only achievements I disliked getting was the 5 and 7 day survivor, it was dull and long. I just watched movies and set a timer for like 45 minutes and then drank some juice for health (i had all inventory slots filled with food and books (9 foods and 3 of the health boost books). An apple would give me 4 blocks YES! after 14 hours i got the bastard achievements

[Skillet]

I'm working on the 5 and 7 day survivor achievements now...it's super boring so I paused it and took a break. Hopefully my IQ will return to normal soon...

I think I made a mistake though because I've gone through eache area (Leisure Park, North Plaza, Wonderland, Food Court, Al Fresco, Entrance, Paradise and Colby's Movie Land) but It's only day...4 and I've only got four OJ, four Wine...that's it. I also have all three books. I even killed the Hall family in Leisure park and I killed Carlito and Otis. I also killed two girls in Colby's. I have a question though...where are some other psycos to kill because I'm running out of food and I don't want to get 5 day and then die and have to do everything all over again just to get 7 day survivor.

[Skillet]

Btw..I haven't been using food that much...I wait until I have 1 block of health left and then use something so I haven't been wasting anything.

[invincible rob]

FINALLY DONE IT.
Two machine guns head on, and 16 sniper shots straight on, then once when it was passing over me one sniper shot which nailed the tail sent it in flames.

[Killer Tomoto]

HELLO I AM STUCK ON COMPLETING KENTS MISSION THING WHERE YOU HAVE TO TAKIE PICS OV HIM AS ANY 1 GOT ANY TIPS PLZ

THANKS:Bounce:

[AOS Puck]

AS ANY 1 GOT ANY TIPS PLZ

Turn off the caps lock and learn to spell maybe?? ;)

If you are talking about the first time you meet Kent and he wants you to take pictures of him, you just have to listen to his instructions and follow them. The key to getting the right picture is to have a quick trigger finger to snap off the picture as soon as Kent goes into his stance/attack/etc.

[BlaZiN cdn]

am i supposed 2 kill isabella when she is chasin me on the motorcycle cuz i got the SMG from the blue awning in paradise plaza and i keep shootin her and then when she gets low on life it says that the truth is lost

[the-saint-of-killers]

where do you get the smg everyone is going on about

[Shaaady Souljah]

SMG's... check this vid, saint:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prRxAXD43TM&mode=related&search=

you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to get.

[Tracker4502]

am i supposed 2 kill isabella when she is chasin me on the motorcycle cuz i got the SMG from the blue awning in paradise plaza and i keep shootin her and then when she gets low on life it says that the truth is lost

Yes, you have to kill her on that one boss battle. If you kill her AFTER the case time limit is passed, it still says you failed. I believe you have until 11PM to beat her, but don't quote me on that.

[zam]

Apologies if I'm missing it, but is there a key to your colo(u)r coding please ?
Wondering the same thing, I can understand blue and red, but then it goes green, orange, pink and light blue :confused:

[Alex Menrich]

hi!

can I save the game in infinity mode?

Thx, Alex

[AOS Puck]

hi!

can I save the game in infinity mode?

Thx, Alex

Nope, that would make it way too easy.

[DiscoDuck8k]

Finally getting 7 Day Survivor felt like a huge accomplishment. Staying alive was easy enough, it's just so frigging boring. I had a large stockpile of food gathered in the Entrance Plaza around late afternoon of Day 5 and had to camp in a shop for what seemed like an eternity.

[magictroll]

This is going to be very helpful! Thanks alot :)

[magictroll]

Did anyone figure out whether or not we have to change at each station or not? Just curious, I'll do them all just in case anyway ;)

[Buttcheeks]

Great job franco this will be super helpful when i pick this game back up soon. I had to take a break from it for a while since so many good games have come out since.

[Shaaady Souljah]

this is really nice to have. i will also have to go back and really finish this game... even though i really love how my guy looks in a pink dress. ;)

[Poups]

Hey guys, i didnt wanna jam up the topics so Ill just post here. I think I'm aorund 4 days and 15 hrs. So like the TC I haven't recieved the achievment; is this because I need to survive to the end of the day?(im guessing yes). Also, i read that psychos re-appear in random places. I just killed some todd guy on the roof and am debating running around looking for ppl or sitting tight in order to save me from using health stuff. I have only used about 4-5 health items throught the mall, do you guys think I can make it to the 7 day achivement?

[Poups]

Thanks. Has anybody followed this and got the achievement? im going to start it now.

[Skillet]

There are large surplusses of food in the mall but they don't respawn. And you have to survive to day 6 to get the 5 day survivor.

If you've only used 4 items from the mall itself, you have PLENTY of food left to get through to day 8 and get the 7 day survivor.

[Poups]

Ill definetly give it another go...but maybe in a week. The damn thing froze at 4 days and 18 hrs during a load screen between wonderland and food court

[magictroll]

Thanks. Has anybody followed this and got the achievement? im going to start it now.

I followed it half way and got the achievement. And you don't have to try every stall, I know that for a fact now that I've tried it. There are some stores I hadn't seen yet and I still got the achievement.

[magictroll]

Kent doesn't like any picture I bring him. I don't supposed locked pictures from previous games work. Any suggestion for a great shot that Kent cannot refuse? Tad is the only picture missing in my notebook!! :(

[Bambam]

Hey i have had dead rising for a while now and i was wondering what physcos count towards the punisher achivement. Like when u kill the cult it says "physycopath defeated" but it dont count it towards the achivement. i have killed like 12 physycos now (not including the cult) and have not gotten the message that says i got the achivement!:confused:

[Shaaady Souljah]

every important psychopaths--the ones that count toward the achievement--will have a little cut scene when you run into them and start fighting them.

i was confused about this too--cuz i thought the convicts and cultists counted. but they do not.

[Bambam]

K thanks man

[Bambam]

:uzi:1)Do the dad and his sons that snipe you in the enterance plaza count towards the punisher achivement?

:uzi: 2)Do the molotov coctails from Paul that you can unlock stay there for the next game like unlocked clothes do?

[Shaaady Souljah]

:uzi:1)Do the dad and his sons that snipe you in the enterance plaza count towards the punisher achivement?

yeah, they do. also, if you are going for the photographing of psychos achievements, you can kill them first and then take the pics.

:uzi: 2)Do the molotov coctails from Paul that you can unlock stay there for the next game like unlocked clothes do? they should stay there. as far as i can remember they did.

[Bambam]

k thank again

[Skillet]

The cultists and Convicts do not count. Sean, the cult leader does. So does everybody else.

For the achievement, you need to kill ten of these:

Adam
Jo
Jack Hall
Roger Hall
Mikey Hall
Cletus
Sean
Cliff
Carlito
Carlito the Sniper
Kent
The grocery store manager (can't remember his name)
Larry the Butcher
and Paul

[Predator x360a]

dont forget to take there pictures to.

[Myncy]

Are you sure about Carlito? I don't think he or Isabella count.

[Tracker4502]

If you save the people from the cultists (Beat the boss), use the key to open the door on the left side of the theater (looking at the screen). Open the door with said key, and inside you'll find a girl (scantitly dressed). Save her by bringing her back to the security room. On the third night she will call, asking you to come back to the security room. Do so, and she will pose for you. Have a +PP book and you will easily get about 2500 PP for some of her poses. Save the picture, then start a new 3-Day mode. Get to Kent Day 2, show him the picture you saved, and you have just unlocked Kent Day 3.

NOTE: Your saved picture will be saved through any amount of gameplays, so save it in case you ever need Kent Day 3 again.

[Tracker4502]

No, since you get the molotov cocktails fron Paul DRECTLY, you have to unlock them each game. I personally like propane tanks more anyway. :)

PS: Yes, the family of snipers do count for the Punisher Achievement.

[Tracker4502]

The cultists and Convicts do not count. Sean, the cult leader does. So does everybody else.

Carlito
Carlito the Sniper


These two do not count as psycopaths, but you do get a PP bonus for defeating them.

Sean

Sean IS the grocery Store Manager, you counted him twice.

Basically, you have to kill every pyscopath except one. I would suggest skipping Cletus if you find him too hard, OR skipping the Machette Man if you're running low on time.

[babyfarmer]

The easiest way to get an erotica photo that Kent likes is to take one of Jessie after you return from getting the first aid kit to help Brad. She will be sitting next to Brad and you can get a good shot that includes her cleavage and a panty shot. That will be 700 PP and is good enough for Kent.

I don't wan to sound like I don't appreciate the advice but I've tried this. Didn't work for some odd reason. Are you sure they carry over? Could my game be glitching?

I get the cutscene before this. Always :( I've tried 3 times so far...

[Tracker4502]

I'm quite sure they carry over, I used the same photo on three different play-throughs. Press "Y" to save pictures so you can use them again and again.

*Spoiler*

Also, dead zombie Jess can give you an easy erotica shot of over 1500. Just get the right angle and you will get a view of her bra.

[magictroll]

I do have an Erotica picture of Jess worth over 1000 pp saved and he still laughs at me.

Do I have to have the cutscene where he tells me to take a picture? Maybe that it!

[FiNaL Mirage]

When Otis is suppose to call you at 7PM and warns you of Ronald being hungry and you need to feed him I can't seem to get the call no matter where I am. Any suggestions or can I wait till later to receive the call?

[invincible rob]

Hmm, you need to be anywhere BUT the roof or the Security room, how many other cases do you have active at the time?

[FiNaL Mirage]

All I have is A Promise to Isabella and Photographer's Pride. Ronald is also safe so no need to ask that question. :locked

[invincible rob]

I think you have the day wrong
I'm damn sure Ronald goes on hunger strike on the third day.
*thats why I asked what other cases do you have.

[FiNaL Mirage]

I was just following a guide I found on gamefaqs and I'm up to speed with everything so far.
24.20th/5pm Anywhere but Entrance Plaza - "The Woman Who Didn't Make it" scoop transmission.
25.20th/7pm Anywhere but the Security Room - "Ronald's Apetite" Survivor Request Transmission

[invincible rob]

Thats strange, I got all my requests in a row and it was on the last day when I was rescuing the last of the survivors, I'd say keep playing and see if it comes up.

[FiNaL Mirage]

I'll try and keep saving on my memory card so if I don't get it I can start back right before it.

[invincible rob]

Sounds good, I wouldn't trust anything that doesn't look right in Dead Rising with the saving system and the Achievements you could end up starting all over again if you mess up and with the timing, (personal experience) it'll piss you off majorly........it was dead bloody falling when I threw it out the window.

[La Stanza Bianca]

I have found this so difficult to get, i tried to get it three times.

Every time I've started the game new, the first two times i stayed inside the helicopter "H"... and on the third time i went onto the roof near the elevator (after you go through Otis vent tunnel)

All times ive stayed put for 4 days!! Nowts happened.

Any ideas?

[Shaaady Souljah]

i do not think it starts until you are doing missions and down in the mall. go get to the area with the convicts and stay out there for a day. and i think it is continuous time, so if you leave and go inside a door it resets...

[Fonkey Monkey]

Yea you can't go for the indoor/outdoor achievements until the actual story missions have started. I.E you have to do the barricade part.

[FiNaL Mirage]

I've got some bad news to report :( I finished the game (to a certain point) and I was missing Ronald's and Kindell's call. I'm thinking you may need a certain amount of people to receive each call as they are able to bring their respective rooms with them. I didn't rescue very many people at all seeing as this is one of my last achievements needed and I had 11 people saved at the end.

So a tip for people going for transmissionary, try to get it while getting the "Saint", "Frank the Pimp", or "Tour Guide" achievement because you will acquire quite a few survivors and hopefully receive those 2 calls.

[invincible rob]

How many people did you NOT save?

[Arch Lord]

I am pretty sure u have to begin the Cases before u can get these achivements. So just after the barricade scene where Brad tells u to get to the security rooom.

[magictroll]

I dunno if that's true but I got it after beginning the first case.

[FiNaL Mirage]

I saved 11 people, the rest died.

[FiNaL Mirage]

I'm playing through again saving as many people as I can so I'll update you guys when I find out what happens.

[Faroon]

Does anyone know: do I have to take the photos of all the survivors in one game, or, like the notebook achievement, can I do it in multiple goes?

Cheers

[EL_A550_WIPEO]

You have to do census taker in one game

[magictroll]

yup, and notebook is over many games.

[Faroon]

Easy as that, cheers.

[BlaZiN cdn]

if this helps any i got the call at around 5-7 pm on day 2, and i was in entrance plaza. also i DIDNT save any survivors at all up until then.

[BlaZiN cdn]

i just cant seem to get the stunt rider achievement, i do exaclty what the achievement guide said but when i get to a good speed i hit a zombie and almost stop, is there somewhere else i can get the achivement other than jumping the ramp going down to the maintanence tunnels:confused:

[DJ Psyanyde]

The easiest way to get this first time is using the bike by the supermarket where you have the fight with isabella and hitting the ramps in the hallway

[BlaZiN cdn]

ok thanks, do i need to fight isabella before the bike appears?

[Zef]

The indoors bike will only be available once you have beaten her, after that it should respawn in the same spot.

If you want to beat her easily just steal the gun from the Convict's jeep and blast her ass (in the non sexual sense, save the bang-bang for a sequel)

[EL_A550_WIPEO]

I thought it was easier to jump down the stairs next to the book store (there should be 4 or 5 zombie cops at the top of the stairs) but it also includes beating isabella.

[Trevelyan]

Lol yea, I had the same question too about this (hence why I checked here)

Guess I gotta go do Isabella (in a non sexual way)

[Trevelyan]

Stupid questions I know but did you make sure:

- You were outside of the area you get the call for (EG not Paradise for a paradise call)

- You had less than 8 survivors or scoops which would give a total of 8 (EG you have 4 survivors for example + a scoop waiting which contains 4 people to rescue)

[Trevelyan]

And you have to finish the game once you've taken the photos to get the white hat? (I ask, because I don't think I did get the white hat, but I didn't finish either)

[magictroll]

Honestly not sure if you have to finish or if you can just die and save state, sorry.

[magictroll]

if this helps any i got the call at around 5-7 pm on day 2, and i was in entrance plaza. also i DIDNT save any survivors at all up until then.

I think you're referring to the call where you need to save Ronald initially. He meens the second call after you've already rescued Ronald.

[magictroll]

Stupid questions I know but did you make sure:

- You were outside of the area you get the call for (EG not Paradise for a paradise call)

- You had less than 8 survivors or scoops which would give a total of 8 (EG you have 4 survivors for example + a scoop waiting which contains 4 people to rescue)

For that call, as long as you're not in the security room or roof you'll get it. And it doesn't affect the number of people you have because it doesn't add anyone to your queue.

[magictroll]

Yeah I couldn't get the achievement from the maintenance tunnel entrance either. I did it on a ramp in North Plaza.

[Zef]

I did it on a ramp in North Plaza.

Please try to keep the content of your posts safe for a young audience, the forums are public and someone could get offended by that. Dirty person.

I attempted it on the stairs up to where you fight Isabella, just ended up somehow doing a backflip and breaking the bike.

[magictroll]

Please try to keep the content of your posts safe for a young audience, the forums are public and someone could get offended by that. Dirty person.

HAHAHAHAHA! :)

I had to reread my post and your post 3 times before I figured out what the hell you were talking about! I should have just reread the part you quoted but I only use 1% of my brain when I'm at work. That's freakin hilarious :)

[Wiggum]

I tried doing it with the bike after you beat Isabela but it just broke after like 3 jumps where i didn't get it. But, i didn't know the bike respawns there.

[Zef]

You're welcome Magictroll.

Wiggum, you should try getting a run up if you can't make a big enough jump.

I think you can use the walkways as well, if the bike even gets up there. And the bike should respawn outside the grocery store after a while, but you have to leave the area for it to come back.

[Trevelyan]

Go in the direction of the gunshop - those ramps did it for me first time. Or drive it into Wonderland and use the stairs

[DeadRisingCletus]

There's alot of people saying you have to take a pic of the person to get this
achievement but you just have to encounter them and theyll be added. Like at the gunshop you cant take a picture of James (guy who got shot) and even if you do (he'll be eating cletus after fight) he's just a zombie. And I never took a pic of many other survivors/psycos.

[invincible rob]

Yeah, you need to photograph them for the census taker achievement.

[BlaZiN cdn]

for this achievement do i need to finish all the casses and be at the helipad by noon?? because what im doing now is just rescuing survivors and leveling up will i still get it even if im not a the helipad???

[KilluhKam]

no, just find a place to hide if you want lol i dont even think you have to be at the helipad at noon to get it, not sure though

[magictroll]

You don't need to be. As long as you're alive for 72 hours you'll get it :)

[BlaZiN cdn]

ok thanks for the help:)

[Wiggum]

You're welcome Magictroll.

Wiggum, you should try getting a run up if you can't make a big enough jump.

I think you can use the walkways as well, if the bike even gets up there. And the bike should respawn outside the grocery store after a while, but you have to leave the area for it to come back.
Ok i'll try that and see if the bike is still there, i still have to wait like 7 more hours until the next case starts.

[magictroll]

Anytime buddy ;)

[FiNaL Mirage]

Well I didn't get Ronald or Kindell's request transmission, and no I wasn't on the Roof or Security room.

[FiNaL Mirage]

As for the 8 people max at 1 time I killed everyone that came up that I didn't need so there was never more than 8 available at 1 time.

[magictroll]

I believe you man. I've had similar things happen to me in Dead Rising ... a second playthrough should fix it ... I hope at least.

[logitech]

how are u meant to kill 53000 zombies?

[Wiggum]

how are u meant to kill 53000 zombies?

Here read the achievement guide....

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/home/showguide.php?type=Retail&gameID=55

[BlaZiN cdn]

how many survivours are in the game that you can rescue because im trying to get the Saint achievement but already 4 people have died (2 japanese guys, and the lovers hanginf off the bear in wonderland plaza.)

any help will be apreciated:)

[Zef]

There should be around 50, I don't remember if that includes the psychopaths and other characters though.

[magictroll]

There are exactly 53 maximum but that means you have to have either Isabella or Dr. Barnaby as well (so some cases have to be completed).

So if you lost four, you gotta star over :P

[Wiggum]

Wow i'm never gonna get that achievement, right now i'm just going for the cases and not really rescuing anybody. I guess the right thing to do would be to start another 72 hour mode after i beat the game and do it and just rescue people.

[magictroll]

Wow i'm never gonna get that achievement, right now i'm just going for the cases and not really rescuing anybody. I guess the right thing to do would be to start another 72 hour mode after i beat the game and do it and just rescue people.

Yeah but make sure you do the cases until you rescure Dr. Barnaby. It'll make things easier and open up different parts of the mall for you.

[invincible rob]

Remember The pilot counts as a survivor even though he only flies there and back (providing you didn't do all the storyline)

[Zef]

Brad and Jessie will count too if you don't get up to a certain point where they won't (my horrible attempt not to ruin anyone's story).

I remember I only saved around 6 survivors, but upon finishing it said I saved 11. Dr.B, Brad, Jessie and the pilot are the obvious ones so is Frank counted too?

I'm tempted to try and finish 72 hours and only save myself to test it.

[BlaZiN cdn]

do i still get the achievements for rescuing people even i only completed the storyline only up to the part were i have to get the medicine for brad?

[Zef]

As long as they are at the helipad it doesn't matter how far you get into the game methinks.

You only need to wait 72 hours before the helicopter arrives but it still comes if you don't finish the story.

[tg1313]

can someone please help me with dead rising, ill hook u up if u can help me out,

[Creech]

You might be more specific in the kind of help you are looking for. Although if you truly have a zero gamerscore, I would say you haven't tried. More likely you didn't bother to enter your tag on your profile, which raises the question why...gamesaver? Hrm. Guess you have a lot to revise before getting much help, but good luck on that.

[Worm99]

Yeah man have you even tried the game yourself. There's only about 5 achievements that are even remotely difficult.

[Zhouk]

So while i was working on the indoorsman achievement, i just got out of the helicopter in 72 hour mode. I waited 2 hours there & got it but i noticed that if you go there right after you leave the helicopter, the game doesn't really start. Like the zombies aren't in the mall or anything yet. I think if you just wait 5 days like that, you might get the achievement but i haven't tried it because i haven't had the time. So if anyone is willing to try, can you tell me if it works or not since it can help a lot of people out to get those 2 achievements.

I hope you're right but I kinda know you're wrong ... I would love someone to try this but I'm convinced the helicopter will still come back on the 3rd day....

Well after i got the outdoorsman achievement, i went inside the security room
& got the indoorsman achievement and still no cut scenes or anything were triggered. So you never know.

[tg1313]

my bad thought i added my gamertag to it, its fixed now, im not sure what the problem is im just not that good at the game i guess

[RadicalSniper99]

Well you have all the achievements I do, but here are some things you could try to help yourself. Know the mall really well. If you have an idea as to where some of the events are going to happen, you can be there to help out more than you think. Plus, if you find yourself dying a lot, why not just level up a few more times so you will be stronger against all the zombies. Plus you could always check this sites achievement guide on the main page. The guide was well constructed and should have a lot of descriptions of the different scenarios out there.

[BlaZiN cdn]

ill try it, i just need to finish 72 hour mode (only got 9 hous left) i hope your right...

[BlaZiN cdn]

once you get the messege were do u bring the food??? because i brought i to the security room but nothing happened

[magictroll]

You have to actually give it to Ronald. As in "equip" it and press B.

[CJ14]

well even if the helicopter comes on the third day, hopefully that will be 3 days that you dont have to worry about and just need 2 more and 4 more to get the achievment, i havent even had the patience to attempt this more than once

[TR Theory]

I'm fairly sure thats not the way it works. I doubt this works i could do it if I wasn't so lazy :p

[Wet Factory]

I believe that the five day and three day can only be done in infinity mode

[retrodigital]

sounds like a waste of time, that might not work.
You still have to wait, Inf mode is not hard, its just time consuming..
So your doing the same thing ...WAITING

[magictroll]

Yeah but in infinite mode you have to be there the whole time and actually play. If the above would work (and I seriously doubt it) then you can just stay on the roof for 14 hours, not even touch the controller, and get 2 of the hardest achievements in this game.

[tg1313]

thanks ill try leveling up didnt really think of that

[Zef]

I never really bothered trying any of the storyline for the first few runs through. Save survivors and kill as many zombies as possible, saving frequently.

Go after psychopaths whenever they become available and be sure to take a snapshot of them once they are dead. That helps a lot towards your level and you will get achievements at the same time.

If someone dies, don't worry unless you were trying to save them desperately. You will always be able to play through later on and attempt it.

Use the camera to get lots of PP when you see a particularly gruesome scene. Again, it helps towards your level.

[Zhouk]

So i checked how much time i had left after i waited 2 hours on the roof after i got the outdoorsman achievement, i had like 71:57 left. So actually it might work.

[Butters]

Sweet keep going let us know that would be sweet if it worked.

[Zhouk]

yea well i asked someone else to try because im working on some other achievements in dead rising like 53000 or whatever it is kills

[magictroll]

yea well i asked someone else to try because im working on some other achievements in dead rising like 53000 or whatever it is kills

But you were only 3 short hours away from finding out :(

[Zhouk]

3 short hours? Ive already got the 3 day survivor, so i ain't gonna wait 4 more hours... And ive started a new game anyways

[magictroll]

3 short hours? Ive already got the 3 day survivor, so i ain't gonna wait 4 more hours... And ive started a new game anyways

Well if you hade already waited 4 hours for indoor and outdoor, then you only had 3 hours to go to see if the helicopter comes on the 72hour.

Still, no point wasting anybody's time, check on other boards and it doesn't work.

[KilluhKam]

you have to do 5 & 7 day in inf. mode, i dont know if you were trying to see if you could do 72 hour mode then do it again for two days to get the 5 day, but it dosnt work like that (i was a lil confused by the posts) if thats not the case, then please disregard this post

[magictroll]

He thought that if you stay on the roof the entire time, you can get it that way.

[nny138]

definetly lvl. once youre 50, its easy to get most GP you still need. makes 'genocider' a breeze too. the rest will just rely on playing through the game again, and again, and again...

[Myncy]

Guh, that would be nice...

Infinite mode is so time-sucking. You have to be looking at all times.

[Faroon]

A lot of the points you don't have just come from finishing the game - ie finish the game and get ending A and you'll automatically get a couple, and you can't get the "rescue xx survivors" points unless you finish the game.

If you want easy points, just stay on the roof for 2 hours real time, and in the security office for 2 hours real time. If you run into a corner whilst you're doing these, you'll likely get the marathon man points too.

My advice - get to about level 20 by pissing about, taking photos, killing psychos and killing stuff, THEN have a decent stab at finishing the game to get ending A. Definitely make sure you kill Adam to get the mini-chainsaws, make sure you open the short-cut, and carry as many of "Engineering"/"Entertainment"/"Criminal Biology"/"Survival" as you can.

The Saint achievement is hard as. I'm level 50 and I'm struggling with it (Mainly due to NPC AI, I have to say, rather than personal vombie issues).

[Zhouk]

Well actually i was a bit wrong, i waited 24 hours on the helipad that didn't waste time but then when i waited another 24 hours indoors right after i left the helipad, then it said i had 48 hours left.

[Skillet]

I seriousely gave up on both of those. I only have 8 achievements left to get but I sold DR anyway.

[Skillet]

The last eight are the hardest achievements to get. Look at my tag and I'll help you with all of the ones that I have.

And knowing the mall is great advice. It's a lot easier to navigate when you know where you're going. Another little tip...play the game from the beggining several times. If you find yourself stuck, save and quit and then restart. You'll keep your original level when you restart so if you quit at level 10, you'll restart at level 10. I suggest doing what I did and at least getting to level 25 before you really get into story mode. You'll need to be fast and know the mall well to finish the whole story line.

[magictroll]

I seriousely gave up on both of those. I only have 8 achievements left to get but I sold DR anyway.

I got 4 left but I think I'm gonna give up as well. I love the game but I need to move on ...

[xfrancox]

Im glad this doesnt work. I would be incredibly pissed at all of you. :uzi:

[magictroll]

Im glad this doesnt work. I would be incredibly pissed at all of you. :uzi:

I don't care, I woulda done it anyway :p

[xfrancox]

Fortunately, only the dedicated can get this achievement. ;)

[Butters]

well aren't you special...i know you pown, i don't. but honestly i haven't even tried it but i may at some point

[La Stanza Bianca]

Right heres what i did, i finished the Act... tehn went outside and stayed on the roof of the picnic table area...waited for days - again no achievement

[magictroll]

I started the game from the beginning and stayed outside with Carlito there and got it.

[The Killer 47]

Fortunately, only the dedicated can get this achievement. ;) I'll say, my xbox froze at 4 days 21 hours on my first try.:mad:

[xfrancox]

I'll say, my xbox froze at 4 days 21 hours on my first try.:mad:

Dont even. My box froze TWICE! Both times right before 5 days. I got 5 and 7 days on my third try.

[The Killer 47]

Ouch.:eek: I don't feel so bad now.

[hadiz]

Dont even. My box froze TWICE! Both times right before 5 days. I got 5 and 7 days on my third try.

That sucks. I was like 20 minutes (real time) from having 5-day survivor. I had just turned the game back on from being on all night, went to a few different areas looking for food... no problem. Tried to go to wonderland plaza (or maybe it was leisure park) and it froze, roughly 10 hours into it :(

Going to give it another go tomorrow

[Sammy Jenkis]

Exact same thing just happened to me. I was literally 20 minutes off from getting the five day achievment and I was trying to load up the food court when it froze on me.

[hadiz]

I just tried it again yesterday. Sure enough, 10 hours real time in (just before day 5) the 360 froze when I tried to go from Al Fresca Plaza to the food court. I guess I'll give it one more try next weekend, then give up forever.

[Kif]

I've heard rumours that the game freezes up in the Food Court on Day 4, so I'd advise raiding that place before then.

[octocritter]

Voila. Gourmet Achievement!

[zdarko43]

ok, after browsing 11 pages of stuff i had a question about one of the achievements, and it wasnt in here, so here goes.

the achievement Unbreakable ( get the true ending without being knocked out )

is that just one play thru? or am i able to restart being at lvl 25 at the very begining again and play thru? or would that be considered a knock out??

im just curious, thats all. thanks for the help! :)

[TS xManiaC]

I believe when they say, without getting knocked out, they mean, not to get caught by the special forces agents, so if you end up in the helicopter and you have to escape, you will not get the true ending. So you can restart at Level 25, and you can still get it

[Bombstriker]

And remember, if those guys in the yellow jackets capture you and you pop out of the box naked that also counts as a knock out, just like the helicopter so be careful around them.

[TS xManiaC]

hey guys i need some help with the marathone achievement. I did that whole tape your controller so your guy runs into a corner and got both Indoorsman and outdoorsman, but I still don't have Marathon Runner, how long did it take for you?

[octocritter]

if you did it through indoorsman & outdoorsman it shouldve worked.. i got it before i ever got those.. the best thing i can say if if you find yourself waiting around in the security room or anything just do the running into a corner trick and keep pressing through the game.. itll come eventually..

[TS xManiaC]

yeah I dont know why it didn't give it to me, I now have both Indoorsman and Outdoorsman, but still no marathon runner, I guess I'll jus do some laps until I get it haha

[crazyguy24]

Maybe it's because your running into a corner so you're not really moving anywhere. So you can't really run 26.2 miles if you're running into a corner.

[TS xManiaC]

Maybe it's because your running into a corner so you're not really moving anywhere. So you can't really run 26.2 miles if you're running into a corner.


is that the problem? because isn't that what the guide says to do?

[Conker Rules All]

Maybe it's because your running into a corner so you're not really moving anywhere. So you can't really run 26.2 miles if you're running into a corner.

i agree this is the problem too because you should be running distance like door to door outside so that might be the problem so you should just run around

[Senor]

For the indoors/outdoors men achievement. Is it 24 game hours or real time hours?

[Fritz White]

2 real hours=24 game hours

[Senor]

I shot down a helicopter, and got the achievement. But I didnt get the special ops uniform. Any ideas on how I can get the uniform?I also got the Perfect Gunner achievement, but no Ammo Belt outfit. So any ideas on that either?

[oneshotbilly]

to unlock the achievement bonuses, you have to complete the game after unlocking it, then you'll find it in the security room next time you play. Just shoot the helicopter down and wait on the helipad.

[tc666666]

Found this on another board... List of all the calls to answer for the Transmissionary achievement. Its not as simple as I thought it was gonna be but doesnt look too hard either. You have to actually be going through the cases, and for some calls you had to have rescued certain survivors.

So in other words, start 72 hour mode, have this list in front of you (for Dates and Times and where NOT to be) to refer to, save the survivors I highlighted in on the list along the way (along with most of the others on the list at the bottom), and make sure you answer each call... if you get interrupted its okay, Otis usually calls you right back

EDIT: I color coated the scoop missions for the survivors you have to rescue so you know which ones you'll have to do, hope this helps....

EDIT #2: Okay for the people complaining about not getting calls here is a little explantion as to why:

If the number of survivors with you (X)
plus the number of possible survivors in open cases (Y)
plus the number of survivors on the next call (Z)
equal a number greater than 8
you will not get the call for (Z)
so the number of survivors in X + Y + Z must be less than 8 for you to get the call about (Z)

the best way to avoid missing a call is to be quick with the Survivors you need to save, quickly go kill the survivors you do NOT need, all while keeping up on your normal Cases. Save save save when you know you are safe from not missing a call... you'll be glad you did.

[oneshotbilly]

i'm so pissed - currently trying to get transmissionary - i'm at 1:36am on the 3rd day waiting for floyd to ring about the wine. I have the "strange group" case going, Kents final case, i'm transporting kindell and doing "transport isabella" case. i've tried killing them just to see if the call comes and even managed to finish the "strange group" case before 2am but still no call. any ideas why i'm not getting this call?

[Llednar]

erm......to get Frank the Pimp, can you escort the people to the roof and leave them there until you get the others?

[Senor]

erm......to get Frank the Pimp, can you escort the people to the roof and leave them there until you get the others?
Nope, the only way to get to the roof is through the Security room.

[Llednar]

What do you mean? People will die if I dont escort them to the security in time?
Nope, the only way to get to the roof is through the Security room.

[LeiChat]

I think you both might be referring to different things...

There is a roof AND a helipad roof.
You can't leave people on the helipad roof which Senor is on about as that would involve taking them through the security room.

As you say though, if you leave people in another area, (including the roof via the vent where you find your first two survivors,) even if it's not currently occupied by zombies, their health will start to drain.

You can though escort your group as it grows to the toilets/washrooms and tell them to stay there while you try and rescue someone in that area of the mall.
If you do rescue someone that triggers a cutscene as soon as the cut scene is finished the marker you set in the toilets will be gone and they'll try and make their way to you, so you need to quickly get the new survivor back to the group.

So, theyre health will not deplete if they remain in the bathrooms, wich bathroom would you recommend?

[yruluis]

i was having problems getting this at the maintenance tunnels,i found it easier if you get the bike in front of the supermarket and go to wonderland plaza and then go up the escalators and down to the other side at a fast enough pace and you should be able to get it.

[chrisg9]

I've searched the forum and i'm pretty sure my question hasn't been answered, apologies in advance though if it has! A number of other people have asked aswell and I don't think they got the answer they were looking for either.

Well, my problem is, i'm going for kill 10 psychos and photograph 10 psychos. I will get kill 10 psychos eaaaasy, but I screwed up on the photos because i forgot to take 2 of em, so I now need to take a photo of all the other psychos i encounter. Well anyway... I have no scoops up, (i have the main caseline and photographers pride in blue) but no matter where I am (i've tried it twice so far once in Paradise n once in Warehouse...) the call for "The Long Haired Punk" WON'T come up... and before you say, no i'm not in Wonderland, and no, I don't have too many scoops up. I'm getting annoyed!!! I have tried it 3 times now btw!!!!!

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I really, really searched.

EDIT:

Sorry forgot to mention... I have been in every shop in Wonderland and he is not there!!!

I haven't rescued any survivors, went and killed them all because I got bored waiting around and I didn't want to miss a scoop, could that be my problem???

EDIT 2:

Well, I just skipped it, and will go for psycho collector on another run through. I'm pretty annoyed though, so if anyone has any ideas why it happened i would love to hear them just so it doesn't happen again. Cheers.

[oneshotbilly]

is there a final word on which case you have to go up to for transmissionary? some have said 6-1 others say 7-2 :confused:

[Tussell]

If you're asking that because you haven't gotten it yet, check the "everything you need to know" thread. I believe there is a bit in there about getting one certain call. You need to be in a certain place to get the call.

If that's not why you are asking, sorry. Just wondering.

[lxl Hockey lxl]

For the transmissionary achievement, do you get it after you answer the final call or after beating the game?

[Bodangles]

haha. sorry for spamming but i was going to answer your question and i completely forgot when i got it. i want to say end of the game. all i know is i followed that guide front and back and eventually got it so dont overthink it ;)

[oneshotbilly]

If that's not why you are asking, sorry. Just wondering.

is that the edit one between 36/37 - i think you need to have done the last resort to get that - ffs could have easily done it last nite if i'd known that - another 6hrs to go :mad:

[DrH3rbz]

I'm currently attempting the 5 and 7 day survivor achievements, I was just wondering if anyone knows any accurate times for how long it takes one block of health to deplete so I know what I can go do rather then sitting here waiting for health to go down ;P

[DrH3rbz]

Not sure if its in this thread, but I pulled this up off of gamefaq which I found helped me a fair bit.

Yes it does. Remember there are 7 juices you need to mix.

Its is probably because you can only be in a story with a maximum people. You need to follow a strict guide to do this achievement, it is not as simple as going for any 8 female survivors. If you need any more help send me a message and I will guide you through it.

[Illution]

I got a question about the achievements. If you fail a case and then all your other cases expire can you still get scoops and such from otis? I need 10 psychopaths killed and I need a couple more survivors so I'm curious.. any help would be appreciated.

[IGC ELIMINATER17]

I havent played the game in a long ass time so im not positve on my answer but i dont think u can get anymore calls from otis if all ur cases expired so i would try to get someone who knos for sure. Sorry i couldnt b of more help

Edit: Nevermind, i remembered that if u have a case expired ur still able to get calls from otis.

[phsyco_SLUSHO]

Anybody know why it's 53,934 zombies...?
it's the population of the Town

[Namaste]

you don't have to do this in 1 run through, its total... Really? Sweet! Thanks. 100 PP Stickers Total Does this achievement need to be gained through 1 one or can you get it after you beat the game?

[IGC ELIMINATER17]

Really? Sweet! Thanks. Does this achievement need to be gained through 1 one or can you get it after you beat the game?
It has to be received through 1 play through. You cant do it after you beat the game because you wont have enough time before the helicopter comes and picks you up

[Namaste]

Not even if you're going to try and stay there for 5 or 7 days?

[Munsie]

The PP stickers are only in 72-hour mode as far as I know. You can't stay for any longer than 3 days.

[pickledorange]

i think ive got the same problem

ive got as far as the ld wine call and im not getting it, im not in the security room, floys is definately saved and he has ross and tanya in his room.

i can only assume that you need a certian number of survivors to recieve the mutiny calls. either that or you need specific people for it to activate the calls

and do you have to do every case? ivsguides that say stop after a loast resort and others that say you have to go to 8-1 because jessie phones worried about you.....

someone confirm please :)

I was wondering why I didn't get the achievement, I forgot Cindy! :uzi:
Thanks for the list man.

Edit) I didn't save Bill, but still got the call. I just think you have to have a group in the munity room because their has to be a group in a room for them to talk to. Only call I didn't get was Cindy and Floyd because I forgot to save Nick and Sally...

[DanSplicer]

if you do all cases in 72 hour you get overtime then you need to do overtime to get infinity mode

[DanSplicer]

you can get the scoops but you need cases for transmisionary because otis calls you when you need to be in the security room

[DanSplicer]

ok, after browsing 11 pages of stuff i had a question about one of the achievements, and it wasnt in here, so here goes.

the achievement Unbreakable ( get the true ending without being knocked out )

is that just one play thru? or am i able to restart being at lvl 25 at the very begining again and play thru? or would that be considered a knock out??

im just curious, thats all. thanks for the help! :)

The true ending(or ture as it has bin mis-spelt on the acheavment(only on untouchable spelt properly on overtime)is overtime not 72 hour mode so do 72 hour mode and when your doing overtimebe carefull because there are no more zombies instead there is a new threat(the army)

This is a list of all the food items and where to get them. This should help people get the Gourmet achievement.



These items are found in the Supermarket in the North Plaza:

Apple
Baguette
Cabbage
Cheese
Coffee Creamer
Cookies
Corn
Frozen Vegetables
Grapefruit
Ice Pops
Japanese Radish
Orange
Orange Juice
Lettuce
Melon
Meat (Raw)
Milk #1 (In a jug)
Milk #2 (In a carton)
Pizza (Uncooked)
Red Cabbage
Snack
Squash
Wine
Yogurt
Zucchini




These items can be found in Colombian Roastmasters in Paradise Plaza:

Pie






To get the gourmet achievement you will have to eat different variations of the following:

Frozen Vegetables - Carry around a bag of frozen vegetables and they will eventually become Thawed Vegetables. Eating them thawed is considered separate from frozen.

Meat (Raw) - You have to eat the spoiled meat, and the well done steak. To obtain the Meat (Spoiled) carry Meat (Raw) around for a little and it will eventually spoil. This will give you a stomach ache so watch out where you eat it. You will also have to put the Meat (Raw) into a microwave to obtain a Well Done Steak.

Pizza (Uncooked) - You have to eat Pizza (Rotten), and the Pizza (Golden Brown). To obtain Pizza (Rotten) carry around a Pizza (Uncooked) for a while and it will eventually turn to Pizza (Rotten). This usually takes a little longer than the other items. You will also have to put the Pizza (Uncooked) into a microwave to obtain a Pizza (Golden Brown).

Ice Pops - You have to eat Ice Pops (Melted) which can be obtained by carrying around Ice Pops which will eventually melt.


TIP: A good way to see whether or not an item has changed is to drop it and read what is. Microwaves can be found in most food places such as the Food Court.




Other than the food items, you will also have to drink every juice item. You can make juices many different ways but this is a list that is known to work. You mix these ingredients in Blenders which can be found in most food areas such as the Food Court. To put an ingredient in a Blender, have the item in your hands and press B at the Blender. For a list of other ways to make these drinks refer to this: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showpost.php?p=91031&postcount=10


Energizer (Green) - Randomizer + Zombie Bait - Supercharges you.

Nectar (Yellow) - Orange Juice + Orange Juice - Heals multiple boxes and increases the number of queen bees around you for a period of time.

Quickstep (White) - Randomizer + Randomizer - Increases foot speed.

Randomizer (Black) - Baguette + Cooking Oil -Random effects, has been know to cause stomach pains.

Spitfire (Blue) - Snacks + Snacks - You're spit acts like a bullet, killing most zombies in one hit.

Untouchable (Red) - Orange Juice + Pie - Frank becomes invincible (for a limited time)

Zombie Bait (Pink) - Pie + Snacks - Zombies become highly attracted to you.







I hope this helps you all out, have fun.

[Hi Im Steve]

Hello

Don't really know if this belongs in this thread but here goes. I wonder if there is any way of getting an achievement that you have missed due to completing it without having your gamertag signed in? I missed to recover mine after a game session at a friends house and finished the "Sharp Dresser" achievement when I got back home. It unlocked but as you can guess when I had recovered the gamertag and played again it was back in grey shades. What I wonder is how and if it can be unlocked again? As it is now I have "Clothes Horse" but not "Sharp Dresser" which is somewhat weird. :)

Thanks in advance!

Ps. Would be nice to have this thread as sticky. :)

[mjc0961]

Well, the most obvious thing would be to try unlocking it again once you have signed in with your GamerTag. If that doesn't work, you might try asking in the General 360 section, as people there might know more about the problem. I'm not really sure about tag recovery. But just try unlocking it in the game again first.

I know I'm bringing this back from the dead a little bit, but I have a few questions about the Transmissionary achievement:

Does the asterik next to the times mean that they can be different? I got my "Cut from the same Cloth" scoop at 2PM instead of 3PM, and I never got my Mother's Lament scoop (I quit at 4:30PM).

Also, do you have to do Kent's sidequest? Because I started it. I just started the game, so if I should restart, please let me know.

[Kaleo808]

I Found It Easier To Get Perfect Gunner By Going Into The Butcher Shop With A Jar Containing A Queen Take Out The Zombies With That Then Shoot The Meat Hanging

[Kaleo808]

Although 1 Achievement I Cannot Get Is The the 5 Day And The 7 Day Survival I Keep Dying Like 10 Hours Into It By The Boss' Running Around

Yeah, the asterisk means that the person writing the guide doesn't have the exact time, and rather than actually writing a good guide, he/she said "screw it" and posted it half done. Mother's Lament came in every time at 5PM for me (I had to do this achievement 5 times because of crappy guides that leave out info).

And you only need the original scoop call for Kent. You can completely ignore him after Otis calls you about him and still get Transmissionary.

[DerekTheExtreme]

i'm having problems getting stunt rider, is there anything you can do with the bike to speed up? i've tried clearing the parking lot of zombies, and i've also tried doing a lap around before heading to the entrance. i tried the guide's way several times and got nothing. i did the stunt driver one fine though.

[Incompl33t]

Well, I had trouble with the achievement, but what I did was played the case files up to the bit where you beat Isabella on the motorbike, and use the motorbike she leaves behind to jump a ramp in the North Plaza.

Thanks so much for the reply. I've been waiting for ever to advance on this game, beacause I didn't want to get far and find out I screwed something up.

Is there anything else I should be aware of before I tackle this achievement?
