Richard Kelly is a survivor appearing in Dead Rising 2 during the mission Hunger Pains. He is a hungry man found in a restaurant looking for food.

He reappears in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record with the same role, though he appears in Chris' Fine Foods in the Palisades Mall. He is also involved in the mission Snake in the Grass.

Hunger Pains[]

Main article: Hunger Pains

Richard is found scouring Dining At Davey's for food. In order for Chuck Greene to recruit him, he needs to give him some food. Once satisfied with his snack, he calms down and follows Chuck to safety. Upon reaching the Safe House, he will give Chuck a box of Zombrex.

Off the Record[]

Richard is found scouring Chris' Fine Foods for food. In order for Frank West to recruit him, he needs to give him some food. Once satisfied with his snack, he calms down and follows Frank to safety. Upon reaching the Safe House, he will give Frank a box of Zombrex.

Snake in the Grass[]

Main article: Snake in the Grass

Richard has been causing problems in the Safe House by bothering the other women. He asks Frank to fetch him an Erotic Magazine from Hot Excitorama so he can relieve his sexual tension. Once he receives the magazine, he goes to the bathroom and awards Frank $5,000.

If he does not get his magazine in time, he will cause a mutiny and all of the women will leave the Safe House, registering them to earn a Located status in the notebook.

Trivia[]

  • Richard is strangely will accepts any mixed juices during his mission request, however he won't get any mixed juices effect from him.
  • After Richard is rescued, the amounts of healing items in the safehouse will be removed completely. The PC missions.txt file calls this event "RichardsGluttony".
    • However, towards the end of the initial 3-day cycle, two bags of beans will spawn even if Richard was saved.
  • Richard can kill a Looter in a single hit with a Sledgehammer.
  • Richard is very similar to Ronald Shiner because he is overweight and needs food before he will join Chuck. However, Richard is not as greedy as Ronald as he will not start a mutiny (granted in Off the Record, he does cause a mutiny, however, though not a mutiny over food) and is more polite than Ronald.
  • In Dead Rising 2, Richard's notebook picture shows him with light brown skin, brown hair, a purple shirt, and with no hat, looking nothing like his actual ingame model.
  • Richard has the same face as Jack Ellis and Carlos Mertiz.
  • If Richard is given spoiled food, he will still say it looks delicious and quickly eat it, then vomit. Chuck still has to give him some non-spoiled food to recruit him.[1]
  • Richard appears on the icon symbol for the achievement Team Player in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
  • Richard is very similar to Tallahassee, a character in the 2009 zombie comedy Zombieland, as they both share the same necessity for food, and eventually find what they're looking for. However, Tallahassee has a necessity for a specific kind of food, a Twinkie, while Richard eats whatever he can find.
  • Saving Richard in Off the Record is necessary for the Team Player achievement, as Frank needs to fulfill his request of getting him an Erotica magazine to avert a mutiny.
  • Richard and Sven Blaaborg are the only 2 survivors that provide Zombrex after rescuing them in both Dead Rising 2 and Off the Record.
  • Probably due to his weight, Richard runs slower than other survivors, this can be seen if he's in a group escort.
