Bill Brenton is a survivor appearing in Dead Rising and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop.
He is found trapped behind a pile of cardboard boxes in In The Closet during the unannounced scoop Man in a Bind.
Man in a Bind[]
- Main article: Man in a Bind
Bill is found trapped in the storage area of a clothing store in the Entrance Plaza. When he hears someone enter the store, he calls out to Frank West for help. After Frank removes the cardboard boxes trapping him, Bill thanks him and explains that he had been trapped for two whole days after the boxes fell while he was arranging the store.
He steps out of the store only to find a number of zombies gathered outside. After Frank informs him of the situation, Bill agrees to follow him to the Security Room.
Ronald's Appetite[]
- Main article: Ronald's Appetite
After being rescued, Bill waits in the room with the blue door. When Ronald Shiner begins complaining about the lack of food, he rallies the other survivors in the same room, including Bill, to head out in search of food.
If Frank does not stop Ronald's mutiny, Bill will leave the Security Room along with the other survivors in the same room. They will no longer count toward the number of rescued survivors.
Infinity Mode[]
- Main article: Infinity Mode
In Infinity Mode, Bill appears in Crislip's Home Saloon in the North Plaza from 0:07:00 to 0:19:00, and is armed with a Nailgun. When killed, he drops a pack of Melted Ice Pops, a Cleaver, a Machete, a Sledgehammer, and a Tool Box.
Trivia[]
- Bill's picture is used for the Freefall achievement.
- His predicament may be a reference to R&B artist R. Kelly's urban opera musical Trapped in the Closet.
- Bill is one of the three best gunners in the game, along with Yuu Tanaka and Shinji Kitano.
- Bill's character model and notebook picture are very similar to Wayne Blackwell. They appear to be the same files with slight modifications.
- In Infinity Mode, Bill is the only survivor who can cause immediate damage to Frank a mere fraction of a second after the loading screen, due to him spawning directly in front of Crislip's entrance while wielding a Nailgun. The player must hold left or right during the loading screen to avoid the initial hit.
