Here's a detailed guide on this achievement:
https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Dead_Rising/Infinity_Mode

You can do this in a few ways:
1. Scavenger - There's enough food in the whole mall that can last you 7 days, if you don't take any damage
2. Killer - Kill anyone you see and camp in that place (example: if you're in entrance plaza and kill Paul, don't go anywhere else unless you picked the food that he drops because it won't respawn so kill him, and if you don't have inventory space just find a safe spot and wait there, also eat food with the 3 magazines when your health bar reaches 1 block and the progress bar is near end, that way you get extra time)
3. Killer and Scavenger - combination of both of the playstyles, sometime you scavenge food and sometime you kill others to get more food (I personally like this one as you can get much more food this way and it isn't that boring)

Here's a location of all the food in the mall:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxtic8mOiaE&t=21s&ab_channel=RecommendedPlaying

I did the killer and scavenger strategy, basically loot a place and camp until the food is gone, then go to wiki and check which enemies appear at which time and what they bring, after day 5 enter security room and you will find laser sword, luckily there's times when like 5 enemies spawn at once in different location so what I did was kill all of them but remember if you leave the area you killed them, the stuff that was left will respawn, I survived for 7 days and 31 minutes, I could lasted whole lot longer because there were still survivor spawning and i had many places left to loot like Colby's Movieland but I didn't bother:




Zombified Barnaby and Zombified Jessie will appear in infinity mode, when you kill them the food they drop is rotten. I only managed to find Barnaby and couldn't wait much longer for Jessie to appear, they're just regular zombie who drop food so they're easy to kill if you're in need of rotten materials

∞ Mode

You will unlock this by finishing overtime mode.

In order to access Overtime Mode, Frank must finish 72 Hour Mode with Ending A.

Frank the Pimp & Tour Guide

Simultaneously escort 8 female survivors.

Escort 8 survivors at once.

You can get Tour Guide by completing Frank the Pimp, here's how:

1. Begin by ignoring or completing scoops until 9PM of the first day. Once Otis calls you for the Out of Control scoop, head to the Wonderland Plaza and defeat Adam MacIntyre to save Greg Simpson. Allow Greg to show you the shortcut to Paradise Plaza. Now that the shortcut is open, you can kill or take him to the saferoom. Wait out time until 7am of the second day.

2. At 7AM on the second day, Otis will call you for Lovers. Travel to Wonderland Plaza and kill both Tonya Waters and Ross Folk. Wait out time until 8am.

3. At 8AM on the second day, Otis will call you about The Hatchet Man. Head to the North Plaza so you can defeat Cliff Hudson where you will obtain the Empty Store Key. Kill all three of the survivors held in the Empty Store Room, including Barbara Patterson. You will not need her for this achievement.

4. At 9AM on the second day, Otis will call to tell you about The Coward. Run to Al Fresca Plaza, and kill Gordon Stalworth. Wait out time until 11AM and stay out of Paradise Plaza until 11AM.

5. At 11AM, Otis will call in the scoop Restaurant Man. Go to the Paradise Plaza and kill Ronald Shiner in Jill's Sandwich Shop.

6. We will now begin collecting female survivors. Upon entering the Paradise Plaza, Pamela Tompkins and Heather Tompkins will spawn near the toy store. Save Both Pamela and Heather and we will have 2 of 8 secured.

7. Wait in the bathroom with the girls near the Shortcut in Paradise Plaza until 12PM where you will receive the Above the Law scoop. Do not take the shortcut to Wonderland Plaza until 1 PM when Nick Evans and Sally Mills spawn for the unmarked scoop Hanging by a Thread.

8. At 1PM, take the shortcut to Wonderland Plaza, and make sure to set a waypoint inside the bathroom. Make your way to the giant inflatable rabbit and kill Nick Evans or else Jennifer Gorman will be unable to spawn in Paradise Plaza.

9. After escorting Sally to the Wonderland Plaza bathroom, defeat Jo Slade and recruit Kay Nelson, Kelly Carpenter, Lilly Deacon and Janet Star. After all 7 women are inside the bathroom, take the shortcut to Paradise Plaza. A cut scene will automatically trigger, and Frank should be able to save Jennifer Gorman from captivity. If none of the females in the group have been killed, this achievement (along with Tour Guide) will unlock.

Freefall

Drop from a height of at least 16 feet (5 meters).

This one is the most easiest achievement:
In the top floor of the warehouse just jump down from the ledge/catwalk to the floor for the achievement.

Full Set

Collect all portraits in the NOTEBOOK.

It is completed by encountering every character in the notebook. This can be done across multiple playthroughs.

There are 78 characters in the notebook, which includes survivors, psychopaths, and victims. It is not required to kill psychopaths or save survivors for their portraits to appear.

One exception of this is with The Hatchet Man, as the survivors can only be added to the notebook when Frank unlocks the doors and activates their health bars.

Sean with A Strange Group is another boss with a hidden hostage.

Everyone in the notebook can be encountered in 72 Hour Mode.

Gourmet

Eat all types of food available in the mall.

Most food is located inside Seon's Food and Stuff.
Here's a detailed guide:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UodcfZPfP1w&ab_channel=TheGuildofAwesome

To make food rot, melt, thaw, keep it in your inventory for 15 real life minutes.
To microwave food, select it and put it in microwave that is located inside Food Court.

Group Photo

Get 50 Target Markers with the camera.

You can do this at the beginning of the game when zombies swarm the mall, simply get in the position where most of them are visible on your camera, and snap!
Or you can climb up the stairs but not too high since it will trigger a cutscene, then snap from there.
You can also do it during Hanging by a Thread Mission.

Hella Copter [SECRET!]

Successfully repel a helicopter.

When you unlock overtime mode, get on a picnic table with a sniper, there is a helicopter that will constantly keep shooting frank, you need to use sniper to kill the pilot to get this achievement.

Humanist & Life Saver & Saint

Get at least 10 survivors out of the mall.

Get at least 20 survivors out of the mall.

Get at least 50 survivors out of the mall.



Simply escort 10/20/50 survivors, you will get this achievement at the very end of the game.

Here's a detailed guide:
https://www.trueachievements.com/a221989/saint-achievement

You can also use this neat and satisfying:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=774480164&searchtext=survivors

You can also find what survivors are hidden, then do cases normally and rescue the hidden ones, there aren't many hidden ones, but their AI is dumb.

Indoorsman & Outdoorsman

Spend at least 24 hours indoors.

Spend at least 24 hours outdoors.


For Indoorsman

You can do this in the security room by going idle for approximately 4 real life hours and you will get this unharmed.

This might be achievable whilst playing the game normally but it will mean you'll need to avoid Leisure Park and the Helipad.

Leisure Park is a pretty good shortcut to get to places around the mall, but its certainly possible to get everywhere without going outside.

For Outdoorsman

The outdoor areas are the Maintenance Tunnels, Leisure Park and the Helipad.

I assume you can just do the same thing as for Indoorsman, go outside and idle.

Item Smasher

Break at least 100 items.

In paradise plaza there is a bunch of flower pots (the ones without trees in them) and break them over the zombies heads, if you run out simply run out of the area and come back for them to respawn.

Head to the food court at any time in the game and head to the left where is a giant stack of wooden barrels, you can take these and keep smashing them on zombies, every one that breaks is 1 towards this achievement.

The easiest way is in Seon's Food and Stuff, have full inventory, go to seafood shop and equiq king salmon, they break after second hit, so you'll have to do it around 8 times with full inventory.

REMINDER
TO DO THIS ACHIEVEMENT THE STUFF MUST BREAK IN YOUR INVENTORY, YOU CAN JUST THROW IT, IT MUST BE LIKE A WEAPON THAT IS ABOUT TO BREAK FOR IT TO COUNT

Karate Champ

Defeat at least 1,000 zombies barehanded.

Has to be done in one playthrough.
Would be good if you're high level so you have more inventory space, then stock up on orange juices.
Frank can use any of his skills for this achievement, although some skills are more effective than others.
If Frank throws a zombie into another zombie and kills it, it does not count toward the achievement.
The fastest way to get this achievement is to go into a big crowd of zombies and spam double lariat and fill your inventory with orange juice or coffee creamer.

Legendary Soldier [SECRET!]

Defeat at least 10 special forces soldiers.

When you get to overtime mode, special forces will spawn, kill 10 of them for this achievement, any way of kill works.

Level Max

Reach Lv. 50.

Reach level 50.
Basically kill zombies for bonus xp, escort as many survivors as you can, kill as many psychopaths you can, photograph as many pp stickers as you can, some survivors will have pp sticker over their head, that's a good pp bonus, when you leave the warehouse across the road is a magazine shop that gives bonus xp when photographing stuff.

Marathon Runner

Cover a distance of 26.2 miles (42.195 km).

You will get this when going for all case files, I got it during a woman who didn't make it scoop (I was doing saint achievement)

Overtime Mode

Unveil all CASES and be at the heliport at noon.

Complete all case files [Cases 1-8 + The Facts]

There is no need to rescue any survivors for overtime mode to unlock, just the main missions.

MAKE SURE TO VISIT Isabella in the hideout After the 10 am cutscene on day 4, BEFORE finally returning to the helipad.

Return to the Helipad on top of the safe room, where the game started by NOON.

Perfect Gunner

Don't miss with a machine gun.

Here's a detailed guide:

Can be done in overtime mode so you don't need to repeat 72 hour mode.

Photojournalist & The Artiste

Score at least 1,500 PP from a single photo.

Score at least 3,000 PP from a single photo.

The easiest way to score the PP needed is to take a picture during a Photo Op.

Many survivors and psychopaths have a photo op that are worth up to 10,000 PP.

There are certain magazines that boost camera pp boost, there's one right across warehouse entrance, and you get one when you defeat Kent.

Here's a list of Photo Op:
https://deadrising.fandom.com/wiki/Photography#Dead_Rising

PP Collector

Photograph all PP Stickers.

Here's a list of every pp sticker:
https://deadrising.fandom.com/wiki/PP_Stickers_(Dead_Rising)


YOU NEED TO BE CAUGHT BY RAINCOAT CULT TO GET 2 PHOTOS FROM THEIR HIDEOUT.

Psycho Photo & Psycho Collector

Photograph at least 4 psychopaths.

Photograph at least 10 psychopaths.

You can unlock this when you photograph defeated psychopaths, it wont matter.

It also counts when you photograph Kent in his first side mission

Raining Zombies

When you go to Al Fresca Plaza, grab a parasol and push as many zombies as you can.

Self Defense & Peace Keeper & Punisher

Defeat at least 1 psychopath.

Defeat at least 5 psychopaths.

Defeat at least 10 psychopaths.

You will get these when you defeat 10 psychopaths.

Despite being classified as psychopaths, Carlito Keyes, Isabela Keyes, the Convicts, the True Eye cultists, and Brock Mason do not count towards the Punisher achievement.

It is notable that the player must kill at least one member of the sniper family for the achievement, so they are essential towards the completion.

This is only true in 72-hour mode. In the Infinity Mode (where this achievement can still be earned), the player can simply kill the respawning Psychopaths. There's no reason to earn the achievement this way beyond bragging rights.

The 10 psychopaths are:
1. Kent
2. Cletus
3. Adam
4. Cliff
5. Jo
6. Roger
7. Jack
8. Thomas
9. Sean
10. Paul
11. Steven
12. Larry

You will eventually get this while going for all scoop run
Cletus appears in huntin shack for first few days, so make sure not to miss him.

Sharp Dresser

Change into at least 20 different costumes.

It can be done across multiple playthroughs, and can be done in any mode.

Here's a detailed guide:

Snuff Shot B [SECRET!]

Successfully photograph zombie Brad.
[This isn't the official achievement description from steam so I took it off from wikia]

This achievement is unlocked by successfully taking a photo of a zombified Brad Garrison during 72 Hour Mode.

You must take a picture of zombie Brad while he is still alive for the achievement to unlock.

Brad will only appear as a zombie outside the Maintenance Tunnels warehouse after completing Case 7-2: Bomb Collector.

R.I.P BRAD

Snuff Shot J [SPOILER!]

Successfully photograph zombie Jessie.

You can find her in the Security Room after she has turned, shortly before the military cleanup starts at the end of the third day.

Frank must take Jessie's photo before she is killed or her photo will not count towards the achievement.

R.I.P JESSE

Strike!

Send at least 10 zombies flying with bowling balls.

This achievement can be accomplished before Frank faces Carlito Keyes for the first time with Brad in Case 1-2: Backup for Brad.
While in Paradise Plaza on the way to the Food Court walk to the fountain next to the entrance to the Leisure Park. There will be a bowling ball sitting in the water.

Now walk through the park. When Frank is near the door leading to the battle with Carlito, there is a large gathering of zombies. Position Frank so the majority are in front of him and bowling ball. The player should hit the 10 zombies required.

Stunt Driver & Stunt Rider

Jump a car at least 33 feet (10 meters).

Jump a motorcycle at least 33 feet (10 meters).

For Stunt Driver

This can be accomplished easily in Leisure Park, by the entrance to the Maintenance Tunnels. If the player backs up and drives full speed towards the entrance to the tunnels, the achievement should unlock.

For Stunt Rider

The best way to do this is either at the incline at the Leisure Park entrance to the Maintenance Tunnels or at one of the ramps in the North Plaza.
Alternatively, the motorcycle can be driven off of the side of the staircase near the North Plaza.
The motorcycle in North Plaza can be taken into Wonderland Plaza. If Frank drives the motorcyle up to the second floor, he can easily jump the motorcycle 33 feet by driving off the staircase going towards the North Plaza near the inflatable rabbit.

Here's a detailed list of every call:
https://deadrising.fandom.com/wiki/Transmissionary

Unbreakable

Get the true ending without being knocked out.

Basically get the true end without getting caught by special forces or the raincoat cult, if you get caught by them and get brought to their hideout, just reload, it shouldn't be hard achievement just avoid getting into a group of cult members so they don't spray you.

Here's a detailed guide:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFExJ6DrwOA&ab_channel=GX

It doesn't matter if you fail file case, it just matter to finish the game by waiting for helicopter on helipad.

The population of Willamette, Colorado is 53,594. Therefore, if Frank kills this many zombies, he has killed the entire population of Willamette.

Zombie Road

Walk over 33 feet (10 meters) on the backs of zombies using the Zombie Ride.

The best way to get this achievement is to find a large group of zombies that are close together, use Zombie Ride on one of them, and walk in circles.

Zombie Ride is a skill in Dead Rising.

It allows Frank to climb onto a group of zombies and walk on top of their heads, allowing him to reach higher places as well as avoid the zombies underfoot.

To perform this skill with gamepad, run toward a zombie and hit the A button just before you make physical contact with it.

Here's how to do it with keyboard:
