Case 1-2: Backup for Brad is the second case Frank West receives in Dead Rising.
It is activated upon entering the Food Court, and is completed after Carlito Keyes is defeated.
Summary
Frank walks into the Food Court and dodges a volley of gunfire. He tells Brad that Jessie sent him to help. Brad says that they'll talk later, and commands him to shoot their attacker.
After Carlito is defeated, he escapes into a hatch on the ceiling. Brad and Frank formally introduce themselves, and Frank shows Brad a picture of the old man he saw in the Entrance Plaza. Brad reluctantly agrees to co-operate with Frank.
Strategies
- Brad will give Frank a handgun after the first cutscene, and will give another if you run out of bullets. Therefore, you can stay on the ground and shoot at Carlito. Be advised that Carlito will fire back at you with his machine gun. He also throws grenades in your direction.
- You can also climb to his level by using the boxes near the tables if you want to use close combat weapons, although this is not recommended. If you are going to use a melee weapon, a few examples of good melee weapons to use include: King Salmon, a katana or a chainsaw.
Trivia
- All Case 1 cases will stay active no matter how long you take to finish them. You could finish them on the 4th day and it would still be active. Upon completion of Case 1-4 though, it will say all cases expired.
