* If you're in a situation where you can't use waypoints (typically when you're carrying a survivor), I find it helps to repeatedly hit the "follow me!" button, maybe once every few seconds. There are situations where a survivor's path will temporarily be blocked by another survivor, and I think hitting the button makes the survivor try again, as opposed to running off to find an alternate route. | * If you're in a situation where you can't use waypoints (typically when you're carrying a survivor), I find it helps to repeatedly hit the "follow me!" button, maybe once every few seconds.

* Also, take some time (which you'll have, if you don't try to do everything) to explore the mall. If you beeline between objectives, you'll never learn where the awesome food and weapons are. Explore not just the stores, but also any hard-but-not-impossible to reach areas you notice. Try using everything as a weapon at least once, and remember that your only goal is to be back on the helipad in 72 hours | * Also, take some time (which you'll have, if you don't try to do everything) to explore the mall.

* Get the mini-chainsaws off of the psycho clown, then head to the bookstore. I don't know which ones you need, but there are three books that you can pick up to increase the durability of these weapons. With all three books in your possession, you can use the things for pretty much the entire game; they'll saw through a number of zombies in a single, quick hit, bosses will simply collapse before your sawing might, and if you ever need more you can just return to where the clown was and pick them up. You might need to get a couple more near the end of the game, if you cut through a high number of the undead. | * Get the mini-chainsaws off of the psycho clown, then head to the bookstore.

* You're going to die. A lot. Hit continue to keep your XP, level, and unlocked abilities and keep on going. The hardware shop in the north side of the mall has wonderful weapons, especially if you grab the criminal biography book from the bookshop in Wonderland Plaza (the one with the roller coaster), fire axes and the boss's machete | * You're going to die.

* You can give survivors items; some survivors can wield weapons. If a survivor is low on health, equip a food item, walk up to that survivor, and press (B). They will drop whatever item they may have had equipped on the ground, make sure to pick it up. Generally, only the infirm or female can not equip any weapons at all. Some females can equip handguns and some small weapons, but not shotguns or the like. Some people can equip any type of gun (other than the RMB) and any weapon that can be stored in your inventory. | * You can give survivors items; some survivors can wield weapons.

* There's a gun shop in the North Plaza called the Huntin' Shack. Be warned, from night of Day 1 to night of Day 2, it is occupied by a gun-wielding boss named Cletus, who if you aren't prepared to deal with, will most likely kill | * There's a gun shop in the North Plaza called the Huntin' Shack. Be warned, from night of Day 1 to night of Day 2, it is occupied by a gun-wielding boss named Cletus, who if you aren't prepared to deal with, will most likely kill you. Of course, this is Dead Rising, you can reload and try again. | ||
* Blenders can be used to mix special drinks. There are only two important drinks to concern yourself with: Quickstep and Nectar. Nectar summons a queen upon drinking, and increases queen spawn rates during its effect; it is obtained most easily by combining two OJs; it's so convenient I don't even know the other combinations to obtain Nectar. Quickstep can be created either by the combination of any two dairy products, or combining wine with anything other than cooking oil. It increases your movement speed to an incredibly high rate. | * Blenders can be used to mix special drinks. There are only two important drinks to concern yourself with: Quickstep and Nectar.

* Guns are pretty | * Guns are pretty bad in your hands (not including the one that unlocks once you complete Zombie Genocider) due to the game's archaic aiming system. Melee weapons and, later on, your own bare hands are much more effective at clearing out packs of zombies. | ||
* There's a katana (fast, powerful melee) on an awning that you can jump to from the Roastmasters. It will respawn every time you re-enter | * There's a katana (fast, powerful melee) on an awning that you can jump to from the Roastmasters. It will respawn every time you re-enter | ||
