In Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, eleven survivors, including Chuck's daughter, along with a single psychopath, have survived the outbreak that has ravaged Still Creek. The survivors have been scattered throughout the town and will not come back to the safe house unless their requests have been fulfilled, whether it means providing them with a weapon, food, or Zombrex, or reuniting them with a loved one or friend.

Dick Jones is the only survivor who is not escorted to the safe house, but rather to his store to continue his pawnshop business.

List of survivors

Several individuals have survived the initial outbreak. The following is a list of survivors in Still Creek. Those in green are currently alive, those in red are unable to be saved, and those are in orange are alive, but classified as psychopaths—individuals who have snapped or have adopted immoral values due to the zombie outbreak.

Escorting survivors

Compared to the first game, the AI for survivors has been significantly improved. The survivors are able to hold up on their own while being escorted to the gas station and do not need constant supervision. They will even assist Chuck without causing harm to him.

When a survivor first joins, a tutorial screen appears.

• There are survivors of the outbreak scattered throughout Still Creek. Escort anyone you find back to the Gas Station, though some might not come with you willingly...
• Press the to call a survivor to you, or hold and press to send them to a specific location.
• Upon rescuing survivors, you will receive a large PP bonus!

Recruiting survivors

Upon finding a survivor, simply press the button near them to begin the dialogue sequence. During a conversation, the player may have to reply multiple times to convince them to follow him. Some missions also require the player to carry out certain actions, such as delivering an item or having a particular survivor in their party. Once the survivor is convinced, they will join the player's party.

Giving commands

Tapping the button will make Chuck shout out "Follow me!" or a similar command to the survivors in the player's party. This causes the survivors to stop their current actions and head toward Chuck. Using this command will also cause any existing waypoints to be deactivated.

Tapping the button while holding the trigger will make Chuck shout out "Over there!" or a similar command to the survivors in the player's party. This command will prompt the survivors to head toward the indicated location. Setting a new waypoint will cause the previous one to be deactivated.

Under attack

If a survivor is under attack, he or she will call out for help, while fending off the zombie. He or she will eventually be able to escape its grasp and continue following the player.

Health

The current health level of a survivor is indicated on the green bar above their head. The portion of the health bar that is green represents remaining health. When survivors have less than full health, the player can give them a food item to restore their health.

Left behind

If a survivor is not near the player when they enter the gas station, the survivor will be left behind. Their name and health bar will appear on the left side of the screen. The health bar will slowly deplete, eventually killing them if they are not saved in time.

Survivors defecting

Like in Dead Rising, if the player chooses to attack survivors or hurts them by mistake too many times, they will defect.

A purple message with the caption "[Survivor name] has defected!" will flash, and the survivor will begin to attack the player. They will no longer follow the player to the safe house and will not rejoin the player's party.
