Cheat Codes/Hints
Easy Strike! achievement
Grab a bowling ball and go to the Maintenance Tunnels. Throw the ball and you will likely hit ten or more zombies. This may also work in Al Fresca Plaza.
Easy The Artiste achievement
When you reunite the first couple of survivors in the rooftop, snap a picture as they hug for a large amount of PP. They should have a golden PP marker over their heads when the time is correct. Many other survivors and psychos have other golden marker poses that give large amounts of PP. Two easy ones are taking a picture of the two people hanging from a huge toy or something in Wonderplaza during Day 2.
Easy Unbreakable achievement
Unlock the Real Mega Buster, two bottles of wine, have at least one mini-chainsaw, the Criminal Biology, Engineering, and Entertainment books, and reach Level 50. You will be able to kill anything with one or two hits. Note: To get the Unbreakable achievement you only need to play Overtime mode and not get caught by the Spec Ops (i.e. do not lose all your health). If you started playing from 72 Hours mode, being captured by the Cult Members also affects this achievement.
Easy Zombie Genocider achievement
Go to the parking lot in Leisure Park and get in the convertible. Drive into the maintenance tunnels and grab the maintenance key in the "T" shaped dead end just ahead of where you went in. Get back in the car and drive over to the exit under Paradise Plaza. Switch to a white sedan there then drive all the way over to the exit under Seon's Supermarket. Kill as many zombies in that location as desired. Then, switch to the delivery truck there and drive once more around the maintenance tunnels until you reach the exit to the parking lot. Drive out and switch to the convertible and repeat everything except the maintenance key part. Try to choose an efficient route and stick to it. It will take a while but you will be able to get it if you begin doing it at the start of 72 Hours mode. It would be a good idea to stock up on wine or orange juice, have at least one nice melee weapon and the two Horror Novels to get the most out of the PP you earn from killing the zombies.
Easy zombie kills
Go to the parking garage in Leisure Park. Get in the car parked outside. Drive down into the parking garage and run over zombies by going left and following the tunnel until you get to another vehicle. When you reach it, switch vehicles and drive back out. The car will have respawned. Repeat this process until you have killed as many zombies as desired.
Easy Zombie Road achievement
When you get the skill "Zombie Ride", go down to the maintenance tunnels. Go to one of the huge crowds of zombies and use the skill to get on top of one. Make sure to release A when you get on top. Walk on them in a circle and you will get it easily. Try practicing the skill first and have some wine or other food with you just in case. A Queen might also be useful for an emergency.
Ending Requirements
These are the requirments needed in 72 hour mode to unlock different endings. The farther down the alphabet an ending is, the worst ending you have (i.e., 'F' would be the worst and 'A' would be the best).
Ending A ... Solve all cases. Talk to Isabella at 10 AM and return to the heliport at 12 noon on Sept. 22nd.
Ending B ... Don't solve all cases but be at the heliport on time.
Ending C ... Solve all cases but do not talk to Isabella at 10 AM on the last day.
Ending D ... Remain a prisoner of the Special Forces by 12 noon on Sept. 22nd.
Ending E ... Don't be at the heliport and don't solve all cases.
Ending F ... Do not collect all of Carlito's bombs during case 7-2. You do have to successfully complete all the cases up to this point.
Equipping survivors
When giving survivors weapons, try to give them blades such as katanas or cleavers. The mini-chainsaws Adam uses are also good, but remember to switch them for something else before going into the security room. Also, if you prefer guns, shotguns and a submachine gun are good except for the stray bullets that hit you. If you give them a gun, try to give survivors shotguns. They will kill the zombies around them and you. They help each other out and very little damage is done if they hit you or each other.
Escorting survivors
When escorting survivors, use waypoints (go into aim mode and press Y) instead of having them follow you. This makes them go directly to the waypoint instead of walking around trying to get to you. This also gives you time to help any stragglers. Make sure to set the waypoint in a safe area and do not stray too far from it unless you absolutely have to.
Fight convicts again
Use the following trick to fight the convicts in the park area again for more PP and a fully loaded machine gun. After killing the convicts, get into their car and do not touch the turret. Drive into the parking lot garage. Drive around for awhile, then drive out. Take the gun and leave. When you return to the park, you will see the trio riding around the park again. Kill them again and repeat as many times as desired.
