Dead Rising 2 Cheats and Codes (Page 1 of 2)

Hint: Six Shooter

Once you've progressed far enough into the game to have unlocked the Six Shooter revolver (by defeating the Cowboy Security Guard Psychopath in the South Plaza) it's a good idea to carry his weapon around, which can be found on the sawing board he dies on. You can only have one at any time like all Psychopath weapons, so if you try to exit and re-enter the area to get an extra Six Shooter, you won't find anything on there until you lose the one you're carrying (or that your Co-Op partner is carrying). This weapon is incredibly powerful, more so than any rifle other than the Sniper Rifle. And it also has a great rate of fire. With this weapon you can easily take out most Psychopaths by simply corner shooting, or in some cases just continually shooting them as most Psycho's will be stunned for a brief moment by each shot.

Hint: Unlisted Missions

On top of the numerous calls and timed missions, several secret missions can appear then run out without you even knowing. Here is a list of the secret missions so you don't miss out:

1 // Inside the Yucatan, before you meet Rebecca on Day 1. An optional boss fight is here, along with a survivor hiding in the offices. Head on over to the Food Court and raid it for Steak, and ONLY Steak. Upon entering the Yucatan you will be greeted with a cutscene. Afterwards, beat down Ted, watch him die, then hop up on top of Snowflake's house. You should find 3 steaks total around her enclosure. Toss them way out there and wait. You'll know when she's eaten some because her health bar will have filled a bit. Just remember to stay out of reach, otherwise she'll use YOU for lunch. After about 6 Steaks you'll be greeted with another scene. Finally, save the poor guy trapped inside the Yucatan's office.

2 // Royal Flush Plaza, Casual Gals store, Day 1. After rescuing his wife located directly in front of the Safe Room hallway, Gordon will appear here and need your help getting back.

3 // Royal Flush Plaza, upstairs, during the Rock Heroes mission. While escorting the band, swing by up here to see 3 girls doing their shopping. To get them to follow you have to carry their delicate shopping boxes back to the Safe Room.

4 // Americana Casino, VIP Poker Room. Starting midway through Day 2, some high-rolling poker players will set up a game here. To save them, you must pay the $100,000 buy-in then win. If you lose, you have to pay $100,000 AGAIN and keep trying.

5 // Food Court, after the Tastes Like Chicken boss fight. So, you've killed the psycho and untied the damsel, but she thinks you're a terrorist and won't come with you unless Jasper shows up. He happens to be in the Food Court too, but in an unlikely place. Find the nearest vending machines and get to climbing. You'll find him on one of the many restuarant awnings. Re-unite the pair and hoof it home.

Hint: Free Zombrex!

Having trouble getting Zombrex for your dear daughter? Fear no longer! Certain missions give out Zombrex for rescuing survivors and you can even find some sitting around on high ledges.

1 // Code Blue, Inside the Slot Ranch Casino: Behind the stage curtains there are some equipment boxes. Jump on them, then to the giant dice, and finally across the gap to claim your prize. You can easily see the Zombrex beforehand, but not jump to it, if you walk up the metal stairs.

2 // Code Blue, Inside the Yucatan Casino: Go to the giant idol in the center and simply jump up the conveniently stair-shaped sides until you reach the offering plate. There you'll find some Zombrex and a Light Machine Gun.

3 // If you are finding it hard to come across some zombrex rather than buying it, why not find it? If you check out the stage in Slot Ranch Casino head behind the curtain and to your right side is some boxes. Carry on around towards the maintenance room behind the stage and climb the boxes to the right of the door as you face it. You will see a nice free bit of Zombrex on top of the highest boxes. (Note: You cannot jump to the boxes from the overhead mez floor).

4 // You can find some extra Zombrex in the underground tunnel after completing the "Ticket to Ride" mission. It is near the underground access ladder underneath the Atlantica casino.

Hint: Easy PP

In Fortune Park, follow the wall to the right of the Atlantica Casino and enter the side door. Combine the dynamite and meat you find here for the Dynameat. Leave the building and head to the right. At the fireworks stand, climb to the top and use the fireworks to attract zombies. Jump down into the crowd and use the Dynameat, retreating quickly. You will get a ton of PP. Leave Fortune Park and return to make the items respawn. Repeat this to attain very high levels.
