Adam the clown Tip
When you first fight adam the clown i suggest you have a lot of guns or else you won't be able to defeat him. whenever he blows fire, throws knives, or blows up ballons that is you chance to shoot him. If you shoot him when he isn't doing those things he will just block with his chainsaws. you can just shoot him when he blows fire. When he throws knives try to shoot faster than he can throw or else you'll fall to the ground and he'll come slash you. When he blows up ballons shoot the balloon which will make him cough for awhile. then start shootong him. Repeat until he is succesfully defeated.
Alternate beginning
At the start where the zombies break through the barricades, just simply die. You will end up in the security room with full health. Walk to the door which Otis welds shut and you will get the same cutscene where brad goes through the air ducts.
Alternate endings
Perform the indicated task(s) in 72 Hour mode to get the corresponding ending (from best to worst):
Ending A: Solve all cases and return to the heliport at 12:00 a.m. on the 22nd.
Ending B: Solve all cases and rescue a certain number of survivors (unknown number).
Ending C: Do not get to the heliport on time and do not solve all cases.
Ending D: Be a prisoner of the Special Forces at 12:00 a.m. on the 22nd.
Ending E: Do not go to the heliport and do not solve all cases.
Ending F: Fail to collect all of Carlito's bombs in Act 7-2.
Beating the convicts easily
First, what you have to do is to hijack a car (from the garage), or a truck from the maintenance tunnel. What ever you do, DO NOT get a motercycle. It just hurts you. Run the car (or the truck) into the jeep multiple times.Most times you just ram into it once and they die. It easier to use the truck. It is bigger and more powerful. Now, this should kill the passenger and the driver easily. Oh and by the way, this manuver does not hurt you. The guy on the gun is a bit more difficult. You can use the truck (if it didnt get destroyed yet, or you can take out a pistol or katana. Five shots for the pistol and five swipes for the katana. When he dies(if the jeep isnt destroyed yet), you can hijack and you will get an achievment. If not, you can take the turret. It is very powerful.

Chopper Smashing
Having trouble taking aim at the chopper while zombies are constantly harrassing you? Try doing the Zombie Ride to jump on top of the shelter in the park. That way, the zombies can't bite you. When you are up there, there is also some glitch where the helicopter is unable to shoot you very well. I think it's because the chopper aims at Frank as if he was standing on the ground.
I was only shot maybe twice while on top of the shelter. Take your machinegun or the Real Mega Buster and aim toward the helicopter when it is about to come straight at you. Once it starts its approach, turn around 180 degrees, aim straight up toward the sky and start shooting your weapon. You should be able to hit the rotor within a couple tries. You really only need to land one good shot, so if you use this technique, all you have to do is line your shots up right and you will hit the chopper as it passes over you. Just aim straight for the center when it starts coming towards you, then quickly turn around 180 degrees, (hold down to turn around completely) then aim for the sky and start shooting.
Forget to destroy the military helicopter and now all the zombies are dead (Day 3)? There is still a way to get on the shelter without using the Zombie Walk! Go to the parking lot located far west on your Mall Map. Get in the red car and drive to the shelter.
Once the car is near the shelter, a glitch will happen where if you position Frank under the edge of the shelter roof and jump, he will grab on to the ledge and pull himself up. It has worked every time I've tried.
I was shot about five times on top, but it was worth it because the helicopter misses most of the time. Everything else about destroying the helicopter is pretty much covered in the hint above this one, and it works very well.
