Dead Rising Achievement Guide

In the mid 2000s, I was obsessed with Dead Rising, so much so that I became the 64th highest ranked player worldwide for most PP (Player Points). Overtime, I had achieved all of the Xbox 360 achievements available for the game...

Which is why i'm making this guide for you all, allow me to walk you through this game, from my perspective, on how to obtain each achievement - using the easiest methods possible

Introduction

To obtain all the achievements in this game you will need to do 2 plays.

The total time spent on this game should be around 40-50 hours typically for 50 achievements

As you proceed throughout this game, you will learn quickly that some of these achievements will be unlocked naturally and others will need more effort and attention. Those achievements that are simple in nature (hence the description of the achievements) will not be really elaborated (*you’ll see I hope for yourself) so, in the table of contents I’ll generally pair achievements that go together

Also, just for grammar purposes, some words throughout this guide will be spelt incorrectly – and will not be plural when they should be. Sorry for this in advance.

Final notes before we begin,

If you see anything that could be improved, please do not hesitate to leave a comment and explain yourself nicely.

Any questions don’t hesitate to ask.

I am aware that the Achievement Icons are from TrueAchievements.com

Tip: The Endless Chainsaw is a great tool to use when attempting for the complete set, any experienced player would recommend it! I created a very informative guide here, attached below

Easy Achievements

Raining Zombies

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Knock at least 30 zombies aside with a parasol.

The Parasol (big blue umbrella) is in Al Fresca Plaza. Grab one, tip it forward and start running through crowds of zombies.

Strike!

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Send at least 10 zombies flying with bowling balls.

Grab a bowling ball off the wall on the 2nd floor of the sporting goods store in Paradise Plaza (across from Columbian Roast masters). Head to Leisure Park and go to the food court entrance where you will probably see 15-20 zombies lined up. Stand to the side of that group and line up a decent shot. You should be able to get this on your first or second try. (Or you could this where any group of zombies are really, i got this in paradise plaza where i seen a group)

Costume Party

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Place novelty masks on at least 10 zombies.

I grabbed one mask from Child's Play in Paradise Plaza (P102 - refer to map),and placed it on zombies, you could use the same one over and over again, or use ten different masks and use it on zombies (a costume party*)

Item Smasher

TYPE: Total REQ: Break at least 100 items.

You will eventually break 100 items, trust me.

Bullet Point

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Fire at least 1,000 bullets.

Go to the fountain in Al Fresca Plaza and grab the uzi. Fire off all bullets, leave towards the Entrance Plaza, Re-enter Al Fresca, grab the uzi again and repeat.
Overtime mode: Get a machine gun from a special force agent and kill a few others. It’ll take about 7 of the special force machine guns to fire off 1,000 bullets.

Freefall

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Drop from a height of at least 16 feet (5 meters).

Jump from the second floor to the first floor in any part of the mall. You don’t get hurt too badly and you’ll get the achievement.

Marathon Runner

TYPE: Total REQ: Cover a distance of 26.2 miles (42.195 km).

This will eventually unlock on its own. It is self-explanatory.

Carjacker

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Steal the convicts' vehicle.

After killing all 3 convicts in the Jeep in Leisure Park, just hop into their vehicle to unlock this achievement.

Stunt Driver

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Jump a motorcycle at least 33 feet (10 meters).

Refer to "Stunt Driver", only, grab the motorcycle in the parking lot instead.

Stunt Driver

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Jump a car at least 33 feet (10 meters).

Easy way to do this: Grab the red convertible in the parking lot in Leisure park. Drive to the wall on the opposite side of the maintenance tunnel entrance and face the tunnel. Line up a dead on shot to the entrance and step on the gas. You’ll get the achievement before the load screen comes up if you did it right.

Zombie Road

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Walk over 33 feet (10 meters) on the backs of zombies using the Zombie Ride.

In Leisure Park, head to either the Food Court Entrance or the Paradise Plaza entrance where the zombies are lined up at the doors. Use the zombie ride move and walk back and forth over the zombies until you’ve accumulated 33 feet.

Level Max

TYPE: Total REQ: Reach Lv. 50.

As you go through the game you’ll keep gaining level from doing various things, like rescuing survivors and taking pictures. You get the MOST PP from rescuing survivors. You get 500 PP per cultist you kill, 5,000 per Special Force agent. Every 1,000 zombies you get a nice bonus too. Just keep playing over and over until you reach level 50. For a quick way to level up: You need to have unlocked overtime mode, and if you have the megaman buster it’ll be even faster. Head to the warehouse when you start a game in overtime mode, and kill the agents in there (take their guns if you don’t have the mega man buster). Head out through the door to the roof and re-enter the warehouse. If any agent is standing on top of the shelves shoot them, then look down and start shooting the agents on the ground. They won’t shoot back. You’ll level up every 3-5 times you re-enter the warehouse and repeat this.

Unbreakable

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Get the true ending without being knocked out.

*Corrected the spelling mistake*

Complete Overtime mode without being killed by a special forces agent. If you get to a scene where you are half naked, caught by the agents and have to wriggle out of ropes, you can’t achieve this.

Overtime Mode

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Unveil all CASES and be at the heliport at noon.

You have to get the “A” ranked ending in 72-hour mode. Easy way: Complete all cases and wait in Carlitos hideout til 10am with Isabella.

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

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.

Special Forces Soldiers

Hella Copter

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Successfully repel a Helicopter


You can get this in 72-hour mode or overtime mode. When the helicopter appears in 72 hour mode after the special forces arrive, grab a sniper rifle from Huntin’ Shack in the North Plaza, go out to Leisure Park, then head to the picnic area near Paradise Plaza and jump up to the roof of it. Keep your eyes peeled for when the helicopter turns at you to start shooting. This is where you can get most shots off and have them connect… I aimed for the front window and took it down after 7-8 connected shots.

Legendary Soldier

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Defeat at least 10 Special Forces soldiers


You can do this towards the end of 72-hour mode when the special forces come to the mall (considering you’ve been completing your cases), or you can do this in overtime mode. Either way take 10 of these guys down in 1 play through to get this achievement. These guys are tough and the best way to kill them is with the small chainsaws or katana up close, or by using their own machine guns against them. If you've unlocked the megaman buster or laser sword, they usually go down in one shot.

Perfect Gunner

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Don't miss with a machine gun.

Special Ops machine gun is the gun, grab one or two and head down to the meat room in the undergrounds. Place yourself in a good secure spot away from the zombies. Aim and shoot one meat that's hanging from the ceiling and you should get this achievement.

Ridiculous Achievements

Transmissionary

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Answer all calls from Otis.

I love Otis, but damn this one is annoying. You need to answer all of the calls from Otis and not be hit from zombies or enimies if you do get hit you'll lose this achievement. If you have 8 people in your party you'll lose calls from Otis. Some survivors you'll need to save because you'll recieve an additional call from otis later in the game. If survivors names are mentioned, please save them because they will be calling you.

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.

Indoorsman

Start a game and go right into the security room. Stay put for 2 hours REAL time (24 hour in game time)

Outdoorsman

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Spend at least 24 hours outdoors.

Start a game and stay on the roof. Stay put for 2 hours REAL time (24 hour in game time) to get this achievement.

Karate Champ

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Defeat at least 1,000 zombies barehanded.

Best done when you are a level 45-50. I started a new game and headed to the food court to grab Wine and nothing else. Go to the maintenance tunnel and disarm yourself by pressing UP on the D-Pad. Use the double Lariat move on the massive amount of zombies in here until you reach 1,000. Having the wine helps in case you are losing a lot of health.

7 Day survivor

Zombie Genocider (+Additional Zombie Achievements)

This should be the final achievement you should get because of the time needed to get this one

Three (3) achievements in this section - If you're going for Zombie Genocider you'll get the two below with ease

Zombie Hunter

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Defeat at least 1,000 zombies.

Zombie Killer

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Defeat at least 10,000 zombies

Zombie Genocide

TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Defeat at least 53,594 zombies

Head to the maintenance tunnel entrance which is accessed by going through the park
Get in the red convertible and enter the tunnels
Take an immediate right, then a left, then a right, then a left which will put you at the white car
Get in the white car and follow the attached map: right, left, right, left again which puts you at the white van
Get in the white van and drive the loop
Head up the ramp and get in the red convertible again

I averaged about 1200 kills per loop with this method and managed to have lots of fun despite the repetition. Your zombie mileage may vary clap

Helpful map here: http://imgur.com/sYZ93R2

I marked the maintenance tunnel key on the map as well ... if you want to save during your run at this achievement make sure you get the key then head up the stairs by the white car to put you back in Paradise Plaza right by the bathrooms for a quick save. When you re-load ... head down the stairs and start with the white car.

Without a doubt, there are countless methods online, if this one isn’t to you satisfactory, don’t hesitate to find another that fits your needs. (Steam, etc.)

Thank you for this!

@Schazmen

Thanks for your comments.

I don't use Steam as often anymore, so Im lucky I caught you-

Regarding the "Frank the Pimp" Achievement, Congrats on finally getting it - I think you are right about the wording, I think it wasn't "Extremely easy" like I had phrased it- I will change that. Other methods sometimes work better, so I might add that as well.

Thanks for pointing out the error about the Coward, 😅 I'll change that ASAP

[Schazmen]

Adding to my last comment, I finally succeeded. Took many more tries, but I got it. And boy, was luck important...

[Schazmen]

These are good guides. But the Frank the Pimp guide isn't nearly as easy as you claim. I've tried a dozen times, doing as close to your instructions as I can. But it just doesn't happen. Mostly from the girls slowing me down too much, such as with making it from Above the Law to the bathroom in time to prevent The Cult at 1PM.
Also, The Coward is in Al Fresca Plaza, not North, just saying.

@2J

Such a great question- I'll look into it for you. Im curious as well

[663633]

I have a question about Marathon Runner, in my first play through, this achievement didn't unlock, so I'd like to know if I have to make 42.195 km in one play through, or if the 42.195 km will continue to calculate in my second play through.

[Steve Freng]

1 thing i disagree with, if you are going for all 50 achievements, you might aswell do zombie genocider first and then the RMB will make the rest of the game a cakewalk.
