Dead Rising 4 Quick Tips

Everyone knows that the best way to survive the zombie apocalypse is to be prepared. The same is true for surviving Dead Rising 4’s zombies. Make sure to scratch up on some information before you head out.

  • When moving from point A to point B, choose the path of least resistance through the zombies. The less you get hit the longer you’ll survive and the more health items you can save for later.
  • Don’t upgrade everything at once. Look at the upgrade trees and see what you might like to unlock later. Try to save up some skill points until you decide what you really want. That melee upgrade might not seem so great when you want more ranged weapon slots.
  • Find and help all the survivors you can. The more survivors you save the better provisioned your safe house will be as they will sell you all kinds of items.
  • Bathroom Saving is gone. Dead Rising 4 saves automatically so don’t feel like you have to find the bathrooms. Unless you want the secrets.
  • Take your time and explore. You are no longer restricted to a tight time limit. The story will wait for you!
  • Use the Dodge ability to roll off an edge to completely avoid all fall damage.
  • The basement of each Emergency Shelter is connected to the main mall. Use this to jump back to the mall whenever you need to restock on easy-to-grab weapons and food, or if you just need to get around the map quicker.
