- —Dean, after being rescued
Dean Wayne is a survivor in Dead Rising 2. He is a war veteran who cannot walk properly due to a war-related leg injury.
Dean was listed by Gretchen Peregrine on the August 6, 2010 Tape It or Die blog post as one of the members whom they would meet with in Fortune City.
Shell Shocked[]
- Main article: Shell Shocked
Dean appears at The American Historium in the Americana Casino, fending off zombies with a handgun. Chuck Greene offers to guide him back to the Safe House, but despite an old war wound that causes him to move slowly, Dean refuses to be carried, since he doesn't want to be seen as a "cripple."
Chuck can allow Dean to slowly follow him back to the Safe House or use a wheelchair to bring him faster. If Chuck is carrying the Leadership magazine, Dean becomes one of the fastest survivors.
Trivia[]
- Dean makes an appearance as "bait" in the Terror Is Reality game Bounty Hunter, alongside Jeanna Slick, Kenneth Walsh, and Gordon Dawkins.
- Normally, Dean is one of the worst survivors due to his slow speed. However, if the Leadership magazine is in Chuck's inventory, Dean becomes possibly the best. His running speed is comparable to Chuck's full speed, faster than any other survivor aside from Snowflake. Chuck can also use a wheelchair to transport him through to the Safe House, if he does not have the Leadership magazine.
- Dean is one of the few survivors who do not appear in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
- Like Cliff Hudson, a psychopath in Dead Rising, Dean will shout "Name and rank, soldier!" upon seeing Chuck.
