- "Thomas! We're doin' this to survive. You know that."
- —Roger Hall speaking to his youngest son.
Roger Hall is a psychopath in Dead Rising and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop.
He is the patriarch of the Hall family, leading his two sons Jack and Thomas in the post-zombie outbreak Willamette.
A firm believer in a twisted interpretation of the Second Amendment, using a Sniper Rifle, he hunts down zombies and survivors indiscriminately, reasoning that it is a necessity in order to ensure their survival. The Hall Family is found in the Entrance Plaza during the scoop Mark of the Sniper.
Mark of the Sniper[]
- Main article: Mark of the Sniper
Roger, Jack, and Thomas are encountered when Frank West arrives at the Entrance Plaza to rescue Wayne Blackwell, who has been pinned behind the counter of Estelle's Fine-lady Cosmetics by the trio. When Jack asks for permission to fire, he tells him off, saying that with the short distance and his aim, it wouldn't be a challenge and instead encourages the less experienced Thomas to shoot Frank. When he voices reluctance, Roger sternly affirms it to be a just course of action, claiming that they're doing it to survive. Thomas, though initially torn, decides to heed his father's and brother's orders.
After he is killed, he drops his sniper rifle. After defeating all three of the snipers, you can rescue Wayne.
Battle Style[]
Roger attacks using a sniper rifle from afar, but lacks any close range attack. He will run away if Frank approaches him, until he is at a safe distance.
Sniper Rifle: Roger's only attack is to fire his sniper rifle from afar. Roger is the most accurate of the trio and his shots rarely miss. After firing each shot, Roger needs to take a second or so to bolt a new round into the chamber.
Infinity Mode[]
- Main article: Infinity Mode
Roger (along with Jack and Thomas) appear at Leisure Park at 0:00:00 - 2:00:00. When killed, he drops a pack of Cookies, an Orange, a Golden Brown Pizza, a Fire Ax, and a Hunting Knife.[Verification needed]
The family appears again at the Entrance Plaza at 5:07:00 - 5:19:00, and will drop the same items as they did previously.
Trivia[]
- Roger is pictured in the "Perfect Gunner" achievement, referencing his proficiency with firearms and his expert aim.
- Roger Hall's voice actor, Steve Blum also voices Cliff Hudson, another psychopath found in Dead Rising.
- Just like the Hunters from Dead Rising 2, the Hall family does not have a theme song or ending cutscene after they are killed. However, there is a music file in the Xbox 360 files that plays during the fight on Chop 'till You Drop. This differs from other psychopaths who fight in pairs, such as Roger Withers and Reed Wallbeck in Dead Rising 2 as you don't earn the PP bonus until both are defeated (and then an ending cutscene plays, regardless of which one is defeated first).
- Jack and Roger are the names of two antagonists in the novel "Lord of the Flies". In the novel, both Jack and Roger are part of a group of primitive hunters who pressure others into joining them.
- He looks similar to the sniper from Team Fortress 2, notably the glasses and the lower face section. This is unintentional though, as the release of Dead Rising precedes TF2 by a year.
- Roger has a Photo Op with Jack, in which he high-fives him after landing a successful hit. If Frank snaps a photo, it can net him up to 10,000 PP.
- During battle if both of his sons are dead, he will raise his hand after a successful shot, as a substitute to high-fiving Jack, however, if Thomas is alive he will only compliment him when his shots hit Frank.
- If Thomas is killed before him, he will shout his name in a desperate/worried tone , probably meaning he was more worried about Thomas than it was with Jack, but still will shout Jack's name in an angry tone.
