"Thomas...What are you waiting for?...Shoot...Thomas!"

—Roger, on Thomas shooting Frank

The Hall Family (colloquially known as the Sniper Family) are a family of three consisting of two young men and their father who actively hunt zombies and survivors in the Entrance Plaza. Roger, wearing the red vest, is the father, Jack, sporting the blue vest and the red hat, is the older brother, and Thomas, wearing the yellow jacket and glasses, is the youngest. They are a threesome of psychopaths who are found in the scoop Mark of the Sniper.

Story

Dead Rising

They can be found in the Entrance Plaza around 5pm on the second day, shooting at Wayne Blackwell, who is hiding in Estelle's Fine-lady Cosmetics. Jack sees Frank through his scope, remarking on how he can blow up his head from his standing point, while Roger rejects, commanding Thomas to shoot and kill Frank. Thomas, who clearly sees Frank as not being a zombie, has no interest in harming Frank, but is pressured into firing at him by his father and older brother.

Tactics

Each of the family members have their own accuracy rate: Roger hardly ever misses while shooting, Jack occasionally misses while shooting, and Thomas primarily misses while shooting.

An easy way to kill them is to get on the second floor and go into any store. Roger or Jack will go in there looking for you, making them easy to kill by using a good melee weapon. After killing those two, Thomas is easy to kill as he has poor aim.

Appearances

The Hall Family only appears in Dead Rising.

Trivia

• When you kill one of the family members, the nearest family member closest to the one that died will make a comment. For example, if you kill Roger near Jack, Jack will scream "DAD!", or if you kill Jack near Thomas, Thomas will scream "Jack!"
• Thomas is the only member of the Hall family that shows concern for other survivors, but is not recruitable like Paul Carson. He is most likely acting under peer pressure from his family.
  • He will also call out apologies to Frank if he manages to shoot him.
• Roger is pictured in the "Perfect Gunner" Achievement, most likly due to his outstanding aim.
• The Hall Family will give each other compliments if they hit Frank. Jack usually compliments his dad by saying "Good job dad!" and will give him a high five, and if you are able to capture a picture it will grant a ton of PP. This also happens vice versa. Although if Thomas hits Frank, Jack and Roger usually tell him he did a good job.
• Roger Hall's voice actor, Steve Blum also voices Cliff Hudson, another psychopath found in the game.
• Roger and Jack seem to have trust issues, like Cletus Samson, seeing how they kill zombies and humans for "their own survival."
• The Hall Family are the few pyschopaths that don't have an end of fight cutscene. This could allow the player to imagine that Frank did NOT kill them.
