- "Could you go to the North Plaza and meet up with Cletus, the gun shop owner? I'd like you to get him to help us if you can. If we can get Cletus to help us, then we'll be able to buy weapons. That would be good for you, too, right?"
- —Otis Washington
The Gun Shop is an unmarked scoop in Dead Rising and a named scoop in Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. It takes place at the first time Frank visits Huntin' Shack before midnight on the third day. It involves the owner of the Huntin' Shack, Cletus Samson, who has decided he cannot trust anybody but himself.
Overview
Frank arrives to the Huntin' Shack to find a fellow survivor trying to reason with the gun shop owner. The owner refuses to let the two men come any closer and shoots his shotgun as a warning. James claims that he just wants some guns so he can survive. Going against Cletus' warnings, he advances towards him and is killed with a buckshot to the chest as a result. James flies out of the store and Frank is left alone to battle Cletus. After Cletus is tired out from the gunfight, he stumbles out of the store into an undead James and is killed, leaving the gun shop empty and available for Frank to take weapons.
