Essential Tips for Surviving in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

Master the Clock

Time is always moving in Dead Rising. Make sure every action counts. Good time management is crucial, especially for main quests. Don't forget you can pause to catch your breath.

Story Progression

Interestingly, failing the main story doesn’t end your journey. You'll be locked out of key storylines, but feel free to continue exploring.

Unlock New Areas

Progress through the main storyline to access more shortcuts across the mall, making traversal a breeze.

Utilize Shouting

If you're searching for survivors, use the shout command to locate them more easily.

Weapon Farming

Found a weapon you love? Remember its location, exit the area to trigger a loading screen, then return to reap the rewards—it's that simple.

Create Powerful Foods

Blend food items found around kitchen areas to unlock special abilities or fully recover your health.

Camera Upgrades

Visit camera shops in the mall to enhance your photography skills, helping you snap even better shots.

Spotting PP for XP

Seek out PP while using your camera lens to find valuable XP zones.

Avoid Friendly Fire

Watch your melee swings; friendly survivors can take damage too, making it essential to keep them safe.

Survivor Assistance

While aiding survivors, expect them to share hints about their surroundings. Equip them properly to fend for themselves.

Psycho Weapon Respawn

Defeated psychos? Fear not! Their weapons will respawn, making them ripe for farming again.

Be Cautious of Survivors

Sometimes, ensuring survivor safety can be tricky. Equipping them with firepower can save the day.

Don't Ignore Otis

Otis will provide you with vital information. Pay attention to his walkie-talkie calls.

Prisoner Tactics

Expect a relentless wave of prisoners at night—stay alert and plan your exits.

Rescue Greg Simpson

Unlock a shortcut by rescuing Greg after defeating the clown on the roller coaster.

Evade the Cult

Beware of the cult's dust attacks; getting caught can lead to losing all items.

Now you're ready to take on the undead! Good luck managing those critical missions while navigating the zombie-infested mall.
