Travel to the Food Court and defeat Carlito with Brad. |
Case 1-2: Backup for Brad is the second case Frank West receives in Dead Rising.
Jessie McCarney tells Frank in the Case 1-1: A Dangerous Encounter cutscene that Brad Garrison needs help. Continue through the hallway to Paradise Plaza. The zombies have now overrun the entire mall.
This case is activated upon completing Case 1-1, and is completed after Carlito Keyes is defeated.
Getting to the Food Court[]
Frank has six game hours (30 minutes real time) to get to Brad in the Food Court, but don't waste too much time. Dead Rising is designed to be incredibly difficult for the player to complete all cases and scoops. The faster this case is solved, the more time Frank has to complete later cases or finish scoops.[1]
Cut From the Same Cloth scoop[]
Otis will call about this scoop at 2:00 pm.[2]
Since Cut From the Same Cloth has less time left than Case 1-2, and it is also conveniently in the same plaza Frank starts out at, make it Frank's first goal before going to finish Case 1-2: Backup for Brad.
Before meeting Brad in the Food Court, pick up two books, the katana, and a submachine gun in Paradise Plaza. There is also food and a blender in Colombian Roastmasters restaurant on the second floor.
Submachine gun[]
- Further information: Submachine Gun (Dead Rising)
All of the submachine guns in the game are hidden. There is one in Paradise Plaza. To begin, walk to the first set of stairs, next to Kids' Choice Clothing.
Next, turn toward Kids' Choice Clothing and the door to the Warehouse. Jump over the railing and climb onto the blue overhang, being very careful not to fall.
Continue to walk or jump from overhang to overhang. One overhang has a stuffed bear, orange juice, and a cardboard box.

Jump on two more overhangs and a submachine gun is on the third blue overhang.[3]

Orange juice supply[]
- Further information: Mixed Juice
The refrigerator at Colombian Roastmasters holds an infinite supply of orange juice. It also has a blender, which allows Frank to make power-ups with food collected in the mall.[3]
Katana[]
- Further information: Katana (Dead Rising)
Because of the poor targeting system in Dead Rising, melee weapons work much better than firearms. One of the strongest melee weapons is hidden in Paradise Plaza. Walk to Colombian Roastmasters. Just to the right of the cooler with orange juice is a railing. Jump over the railing onto a brown overhang, being careful not to jump too far. A katana is laying on this overhang. The katana will respawn each time Frank returns to Paradise Plaza.[3]

Books[]
Books increase Frank's abilities. Frank does not have enough item slots to carry all of the books available, so pick up the two most important books right now in two different bookstores:
- Contemporary Reading, Weekly Photo Magazine (see prestige points icons over zombie's heads)
- Bachman's Bookporium, Engineering book (makes construction and tool items last three times longer).[2]
Overview[]
Frank walks into the Food Court to be greeted by a volley of gunfire, after which he dodges to safety. He crawls over to a nearby Brad, who is returning gunfire. Frank informs the agent that Jessie sent him to help. Brad looks worried at first, but quickly says that they'll talk later, and commands Frank to help him deal with their attacker by shooting at him and covering each other.
After Carlito is defeated, he dashes across the food shop rooftops and 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 demands to know where that picture was taken, but Frank refuses. After making a deal, Brad reluctantly agrees to cooperate with Frank.
Gun battle cutscene

Frank: Your uh... girlfriend sent me to find you. Brad: Who, Jessie!? Dammit! Ok, we'll have to talk about this later. You know how to use that gun? Frank: I've never fired at a person! Brad: Alright, I'll cover you from here. You need to stick to the shadows. Try to get close to the target, ok? Frank: And what am I supposed to do when I get close?
Brad: Well, the best solution would be to shoot the guy, but if you cannot do that, keep him busy dodging your bullets and stay out of trouble. Are you up to it? Frank: I'm a lot better with a camera, but yeah, I'll give a shot. Brad: Alright... Next time he reloads, I'll lay down a suppressing fire. I'm counting on you. Make your way over there. 1... 2... 3!

Stocking up on wine[]
In Chris' Fine Foods, there are several bottles of wine that Frank can stock up and use to restore his health before going to attack Carlito.
Psychopath: Carlito Keyes[]
 Carlito |
Carlito, the first person Frank met in the mall on the helipad, wants Frank and Brad dead.
Carlito is a tough psychopath; watch out for his gunfire from his submachine gun and the bombs he drops down. Keep moving and quickly run away if you see or hear a bomb dropped from above.[5] 
There are a few different approaches the player may take to defeat him—the one chosen should depend on how much health Frank has.
As soon as the cutscene ends, quickly run across the walkway and up the stairs to the Food Court.   On the side of the central steps, climb up the set of stacked crates (underneath the "no smoking" sign) to get a much better vantage point. Use the wooden posts as cover while Brad keeps Carlito distracted. Manually aim for Carlito's head to injure him faster than body shots. Don't stay in one place for too long because Carlito is an excellent shot and can quickly kill Frank.
Use the food court restaurants and pillars as cover, using the handgun or submachine gun (see #Submachine gun above), to chip Carlito's health down while eating the food and drinks in the Food Court. After Carlito's health drops a bit, he will retreat from the gantry at the front of the Wild West section to the roofs of the restaurants in the back of the plaza. 
When Carlito retreats to the roof, Frank can jump up onto the entrance arch of Chris' Fine Foods to pick up a sub-machine gun, but Frank will be open to attack from Carlito while Frank is exposed.
Equip the katana (see #Katana above) or a sledgehammer and run to the raised seating area below Carlito's perch. Use the stacked crates (described above) to climb up onto Carlito's walkway. Wait until Carlito is as far to the right as possible before jumping up onto the gantry, then run up to the corner and wait for him to come around—start swinging just before he approaches you. Frank might take a couple of hits from Carlito's machine gun, but he may survive long enough to land the three or four katana slashes required to end the fight. This option is dangerous because Carlito has a quick kick that knocks Frank down. Only get close to Carlito if you have no other choice.[5] |

Carlito escapes[]
After defeating Carlito, he escapes through the roof. Helping Brad defeat Carlito apparently is not enough for Brad to start trusting Frank, but a photo of the old man that Frank saw in the Entrance Plaza catches Brad's interest enough for the Department of Homeland Security agent to agree to a temporary alliance with Frank.
Carlito escapes

Frank: He got away. Who was that, anyway? Brad: I don't know... Well. Thanks for your help. The name's Brad. Frank: I'm Frank West, photojournalist. And right now I'd rather have an explanation than your thanks, Brad. Brad: Sorry, I've got nothing to tell you. Look. I don't know what Jessie told you, but as far as I'm concerned, we're through working together. So, you cover your zombie story and leave the rest to us.
Frank: You, uh... You guys are lookin' for someone here, aren't ya?
Brad: Who is that? Where did you take that?
Frank: You help me. I help you.
Brad: Damn!
Brad: You're one hell of a journalist, aren't you, Frank? A hotheaded, underhanded, hotshot paparazzi with nothing better to do than to invade people's privacy. Frank: I try... You got a point? Brad: You win, Frank. Let's work together.
Brad: Jessie and I are DHS agents. And, yes, we're looking for the man in that picture. Frank: You're with homeland security. Is that guy a terrorist or somethin'? Brad: ...
Frank: I took that picture in the Entrance Plaza. Right near the front door. Brad: The Entrance Plaza... You're sure?
Frank: Hey! So, do I have your permission to cover this story... or not? Brad: Ugh![4] |
Trivia[]
- Depending on the time, on the way to help Brad, Otis may call about the Barricade Pair scoop, which starts at 4:00 pm.
- Cases 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, and 2-3 will stay active no matter how long the player takes to finish them. The player can finish them on the 4th day and they will still be active. Upon completion of Case 1-4 or 2-3, however, it will say that all cases have expired.
