Dead Rising Survivors

Dead Rising
Overview (cases/scoops) • Books • Clothing • Food • Psychopaths • Stores • Survivors • Weapons

The Survivors in Dead Rising are any characters that, when encountered, have not met their fates at the hands of the zombies. Most are characters Frank West can find in various places of the mall at certain times.

The residents of Willamette who were not initially killed or rendered undead by the zombie outbreak are referred to as "survivors." Many survivors can be escorted safely to the Security Room, and will often provide the player with competent cover if given firearms or other weapons; others may be injured, cowardly, traumatized, hostages, or even drunk, requiring the player to lead them directly to the exit point and possibly rendering the player unable to use their weapons. Some survivors, referred to as psychopaths, went crazy and will attack the player.

Otis Washington will periodically update Frank with information on certain survivors and their locations, though some survivors must be found without assistance. Certain scoops or "unannounced" survivors are time-sensitive: if the player takes too long to begin a scoop, their health will decrease, and in some cases of large rescues from certain psychopaths, they may die off one by one. Successful rescues will earn PP awards; the player may also choose to leave the survivors to die, or to kill them him or herself.

There are 88 survivors (excluding cult members, soldiers, and Brock Mason) in all—psychopath, savable, and unsavable alike—though only 78 are marked in the notebook.

Types of survivors

Normal survivors

These survivors can walk and be equipped with weapons. They are the most common of the survivor types. Most males and some females are in this category. While escorting a group, they are much more reliable, since they can defend the group at waypoints as long as they are armed. They are more difficult to escort than other survivors if they are alone, since the player has to depend on their AI to navigate through zombies.

Most women that can equip weapons can only equip light weapons such as knives, Handguns, Submachine Guns, etc. They also have a unique running animation that is slightly slower than males, causing the player to have to wait for them to catch up. They also use an unarmed fighting style, like unequippable survivors. There are a few female survivors that do not use this AI system (or can at least equip heavier weapons): Beth Shrake, Barbara Patterson, Kay Nelson and Debbie Willett.

Non-equippable survivors

These survivors are too afraid or incompetent with weapons, but can be led around by the hand directly. All are female. They are good with group escorts since they are able to keep up on foot, with the exception of Susan Walsh. They are also easy for solo escorting, since they can be guided directly by hand.

Like normal female survivors, they use an unarmed fighting style that consists of shoving zombies, which causes them to fall to the ground, or by kicking zombies which causes some damage. The upside about this type of survivor is that the player can hold two hands at once. This tactic is useful in scoops such as The Woman Who Didn't Make It and Above the Law.

Crippled survivors

These survivors are too injured (or drunk) to walk, and require assistance. They are the least common. They are a burden in groups, since the player is required to support them by shoulder or carry them on Frank's back, rendering him unarmed, but are extremely easy to escort individually. They will attack zombies if one gets close enough.

There is a plus side to having one of these survivors in the player's group: if the player is carrying a crippled survivor, they cannot be grabbed by zombies.

Story survivors

At certain points during the story, the player will be required to follow Brad and Isabela. Without the player's assistance, they will usually die, as they have the AI of normal survivors, although both are armed with pistols. They do not count as survivors in the player's party during this. If they die at any point, then all cases will fail.

Defected survivors

If the player chooses to attack survivors or hurts them by mistake too many times, they will defect. When this happens, a purple caption appears on the screen saying that they have defected. This means they lose all trust in Frank and turn hostile toward him, either by trying to kill him or by simply no longer following the group, and it becomes impossible to rescue the survivor. They may also defect if their friend or a loved one is killed or have defected themselves, e.g. Jeff and Natalie or Tonya and Ross.

Psychopaths

Main article: Dead Rising Psychopaths

These are survivors who snapped and were driven to insanity due to the outbreak or simply take advantage of the outbreak to commit amoral acts. They serve as the game's bosses.

Victims

These are survivors who are inevitably killed. These survivors cannot be saved regardless of the player's actions.

Hostile survivors

These are similar to defected survivors, except they only appear in Infinity Mode. Every in-game day at 12 am, 7 am, and 7 pm, between two and four survivors (including victims) from 72 Hour Mode will spawn in different areas of the mall (most of whom are armed with weapons) and will attack the player immediately upon seeing them. When killed by the player, boxes appear over their corpses, which drop food and weapons when approached. The boxes will not appear if the survivor is killed by zombies.

Escorting survivors

Due to the game's poor artificial intelligence (AI), escorting survivors can become frustrating and problematic for some players. It is common for one or more of the survivors in the player's party to find themselves in a horde of zombies being attacked, or to have been left behind in a completely different area, forcing the player to wade through an ocean of zombies to rescue the survivor.

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 scoops 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 Frank shout out "Follow me!" or "Come on!" to the survivors in the player's party. This causes the survivors to stop their current actions and head toward Frank. Using this command will also cause any existing waypoints to be deactivated.

Tapping the / button while holding the / trigger will make Frank shout out "Over there!" or "Go!" 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

Survivors may sometimes find themselves in the clutches of zombies. They will be essentially immobilized, unable to do anything and struggling to keep the zombie away until the grapple is interrupted.

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 move from one area to another, the survivor will be left behind. Their name and health bar will appear on the left side of the screen. Their health bar will slowly deplete, eventually killing them if they are not saved in time. This also applies to survivors that have been encountered but have yet to join the player's party, though their depleting health bars will not be shown on the screen.

Giving survivors food or weapons

The player can give certain weapons to survivors, like Lead Pipes, Shotguns, or Small Chainsaws. Survivors will not accept large weapons, such as Barbells, Garbage Cans, Benches, or any other two-handed weapons that the player cannot store in their inventory and must drop to pick something else up.

Food can also be given to survivors and they will eat it to regain their health. Survivors who need assistance cannot accept weapon items, but will accept food to eat.

Survivor limit

Further information: Eight Survivor Rule

With a few exceptions, only eight survivors can exist in the mall at a time. This number counts only those in the player's party and in active scoops. Other scoops will not be activated if they cause the total number of survivors to exceed eight.

Brad Garrison, Isabela Keyes, and Tad Hawthorne do not count toward this limit, as Brad and Isabela are involved in cases and apply differently. Tad is not counted because his appearance is caused by completing Photo Challenge, ensuring that he will be spawned as soon as Photographer's Pride is activated regardless of current survivor numbers.

List of survivors

This is a list of all survivors in Dead Rising. It includes citizens of Willamette as well as out-of-towners. The listings are in different colors. If the character is green, then they are savable in the game (survivors). If they are red, then they are not savable in the game (victims) or they die if the story is completed in the "true" fashion. If they are orange, then they are psychopaths who can be fought as bosses.

Color	Description
Green	This survivor is alive and/or can be saved.
Orange	Classified as a psychopath, individuals who have "snapped" due to the zombie outbreak or are simply corrupt. They serve as bosses for the game.
Red	This survivor is deceased and/or cannot be saved.

The fate of survivors

Security room

The goal is to get the survivor(s) back to the security room. To get back to the security room, the survivor has to jump up on the ledge to go through the air duct. Often, it is very difficult to get survivors to jump up. If Frank runs to the air duct and presses /, the survivors will all get stuck at the ledge, trying to jump up all at once.

If the survivors get stuck, one way to get them up the ledge is to set a waypoint at the air duct (/ + /). Then, jump down to the rooftop and push the survivors until they each jump up.

If a survivor is successfully escorted back to to the Security Room, then a short scene will show one of them offering their gratitude to Frank. Afterward, they can be found in rooms located at the back. They will no longer be able to enter the mall and the notebook will list them as Safe.

Zombified survivors

Further information: Zombies (Dead Rising)#Survivor lookalikes

If a survivor's health is fully depleted from attacks by zombies, a death scene is triggered that shows them being killed by the zombies in a gruesome manner. If the player goes to where the survivor was killed, they will see that the survivor has risen as a zombie and behaves accordingly.

Frank's notebook will also list the survivor as Undead. This works for every survivor (and if the player is lucky enough to encounter a glitch, psychopaths).

Committing suicide

If a survivor is killed for any other reason, then the survivor will simply die, and be labeled as Dead in Frank's notebook. Another death cutscene may involve the survivor committing suicide by pulling out a handgun they may not have previously had.

For example, if Aaron Swoop is overrun by a zombie horde and killed, this cutscene is occasionally triggered.

Lost survivors

A survivor may also be listed as Lost in the notebook if a main survivor is outside the security room after failing certain cases, or if Frank fails to prevent a mutiny. In this case, the survivor will leave the security room and can no longer be found in that playthrough.

Tethered Survivors

There are a total of seven survivors win Dead Rising who do not follow Frank directly, but instead follow another survivor. This behavior can present challenges, particularly when they are separated between two different areas and then reunited, or when the player must escort the survivor they are following into the security room rather than Frank.

The survivors who do not follow Frank directly are:

• Natalie Meyer: Natalie follows her husband, Jeff, and exhibits some of the strangest behavior out of all the survivors. She often moves only a few steps at a time, even when Jeff is far away from her in Leisure Park. Despite this, Natalie is very easy to escort, and most players may not notice her behavior, as they typically do not bring her along for other scoops. However, players who do bring her often do so because of how aggressively Jeff confronts zombies.
• Aaron Swoop: Aaron follows Burt instead of Frank, and is noticeably difficult to save due to how infrequently he attacks zombies compared to most other survivors. It is not uncommon for Aaron to stand still while being swarmed, which often results in his death.
• Shinji Kitano: Shinji follows Yuu. He is usually not too difficult to save, especially if rescued before freeing Greg. By moving in short distances, Shinji has an easier time following Frank. However, after the shortcut, keeping Shinji alive becomes more challenging due to the longer distances frequently traveled in Paradise Plaza.
• Tonya Waters: Tonya follows her boyfriend, Ross, who must be carried during the trip back. While running long stretches with Ross on your back is relatively easy, navigating through hordes of zombies often causes Tonya to get stuck. Arming her with a Small Chainsaw from where Adam is defeated can make her easier to escort, provided you allow her to keep pace.
• Pamela Tompkins: Pamela follows Heather instead of Frank. It has been claimed that she follows Frank directly if Heather is recruited first, but this does not always seem to be the case. Despite this, the relatively short trip to the security room makes Pamela fairly easy to escort.
• Rachel Decker: Rachel follows Jolie and tends to fall behind easily, as she cannot wield or arm herself with a weapon. Even after eliminating the snipers, escorting her remains challenging, especially if Floyd, who requires carrying, is also being escorted. Wayne, who can be armed, is not a very effective fighter, and Rachel, like many female survivors in the game, has a hysterical personality, occasionally running off to randomly attack zombies or cult members. Killing Floyd can make the escort easier, or moving in short distances while arming Wayne with a reliable weapon such as a Small Chainsaw, Shotgun, or Katana.
• Alyssa Laurent: Alyssa follows Brett Styles instead of Frank. She can be equipped with light weapons and fights well with weapons like the Katana or Small Chainsaw. However, Alyssa often gets stuck falling behind, similar to other survivors on this list. If she becomes separated from Brett, she will start following Frank directly, but for unknown reasons, she becomes much more passive and pacifistic, barely attacking zombies compared to before.

Trivia

• If Frank leaves the side room doors open, sometimes survivors will wander out into the hallway and sit down.
• Either Simone Ravendark or Dr. Barnaby can be saved depending on the progress of cases, but it is impossible to save both.
• The fate of the major characters of Dead Rising depend on the progress of cases.
• Paul Carson is initially a psychopath, but can be saved after he is defeated in battle.
• Cletus Samson can be saved in Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop after he is defeated in battle. He will reside in the Huntin' Shack after being saved.
• Survivors, like zombies (but unlike Special Forces), can be affected by joke weapons such as paint cans. However, they are not affected by weapons that can make zombies slip and fall.
  • they also work by most Frank's skill moves, just like True Eye and Special Forces but didn't kill them.
• At 10:00 pm, the moment when the lights go off in the mall, many of the survivors in the security room will sit down putting their heads between their legs. They don't actually go to sleep though, as their eyes are still open. All of the survivors simultaneously stand up at 5:00 am.
• Upon dying to the zombies and triggering the zombie death scenes, many of the survivors' sound files get mixed up. Yuu and Shinji for example swap voices, and Susan develops a young lady voice when during gameplay she has an old lady voice.
• In Overtime Mode, survivors do not appear.
• In Infinity Mode, there is a rare chance that a survivor will plead for Frank to stop attacking them after their health has been lowered enough. However, sparing them does nothing, as they will resume attacking in only a matter of seconds.
