Defeating Adam the clown
When the intermission sequence finishes, if Adam slashes Frank a with his chainsaws it will do a lot of damage. To defeat him you will need a handgun. If you do not have one, there are
zombie policemen upstairs next to the bookshop. Adam will start to perform attacks at random when he blows up a colored balloon. When he is finished and about to throw it at you, quickly aim and fire your handgun at the balloon close to him. It will pop and do some damage to him. Do this until he runs out of health. Note: If you shot Adam he will block your shot with his chainsaws.
Before you fight Adam, get a katana from Ripper's Cutlery, a cleaver, something to heal with, a gun (for example, handgun, shotgun or Uzi), and the Criminal Biology book in the Sir Book-A-Lot store close by where you find him. When you start, go on the big walkway next to the rollercoaster. Dodge Adam's attacks and wait for him to slice at you with his chainsaws. Immediately after he does so, use the katana or cleaver to slice at him. The katana does more damage, but the cleaver is faster, allowing you to land more hits on him. Use the handgun, shotgun or Uzi when he blows up a balloon to damage him. Use this strategy to kill him quickly.
Defeating Brock
As soon as you get within range of Brock, the final
Boss of Overtime mode, start doing knee drop attacks. He will
block most of them. However, even the blocked attacks will damage
him slightly. If you do the knee drops in fast succession, Brock
will have a difficult time doing any attacks of his own.
Jump down to the front of the tank. He will follow you. As soon
as he jumps down give him the "Knee Drop", if you have
unlocked this skill. Then, jump back up to the top of the tank.
Wait for him to jump back up and repeat. He will most likely not
be able to block it, and in three to five hits he will be dead.
Defeating Carlito
Find a Queen Wasp. Look for the zombies that are either
holding their head or looking at there arms slightly above there
heads. Then, get the katana from outside the first window on the
back wall of the Colombian Roastmasters. Use the Wasp to kill
most of the zombies. The best place to get them is to storm for
the middle. You might get shot once or twice but if you have the
queen ready this is less likely. He will hit you with a shot from
the rifle. Run as fast as possible upstairs. Brad will get hurt
a few times. Just make sure he does not die. Run to Carlito and
slice him with the katana. Be careful -- he tosses grenades as
he is running and will smack you with the rifle after you hit
him once. This also works with the hammer, but it is slow and
he will hit you before you can hit him.
Fighting Carlito the second time with Brad in Entrance Plaza can
be quite difficult. The best sniping position to kill him from
is in the pink shop directly above the escalators where you first
come in. There is a table with some signs on it. Position yourself
between the little signs and shoot him with the rifle. Carlito
may actually turn his back as if to see where you are shooting
him from.
To defeat Carlito the second time very easily when he has a sniper
rifle, begin by running up the stairs. As soon as you get up,
turn left. Keep moving to avoid his shots. Try to stay out of
his sight. At the "corner" on the second level near
Carlito is a sporting goods store. Go inside and grab a hockey
stick or two. Leave the store and quickly run across to the pillar.
Stand almost even with the pillar so that Carlito cannot see you
at all, but will keep shooting at you, only to hit the pillar.
Hold RT to aim with the hockey stick. Hopefully the end
of the stick (and therefore the puck) should be sticking out past
the pillar while your body is still fully protected behind the
pillar. If not, reposition yourself until you can shoot pucks
at him. Once set, start slapping away until he "dies"
and the intermission sequence starts. Be careful not to also hit
Brad.
The third time you fight Carlito is when collecting the bombs
in Act 7-2. To kill him easily, unlock the Real Mega Buster and
shoot him about three times when he appears. Additionally, if
you want to have a safer trip during the mission, instead of entering
the tunnels through the parking lot with the motorcycle, get the
maintenance key before the case and enter through Paradise Plaza.
There will be a white sedan that will not break down as easily
as the motorcycle.
When fighting Carlito the second time, have at least have four
equipment slots, five health bars, and three smoothies. Quickness
is the best just for speed. Once you start the mission instead
of going upstairs run down the hall under the right side of the
second floor. Try to avoid the zombies but do not drink any smoothies.
When you are down the hall there will be a store on the right.
It is a outdoors store. Go in and get the mountain bike then ride
upstairs. Get on the side where Carlito is located. Once there,
ride as fast as you can toward Carlito. Hit him. He may get one
or two shots off at you, but do not worry. Go to where he cannot
see you and drink a smoothie. Be quick because he will kill Brad
if you are not fast enough. If you run into Carlito well it may
require only three or four hits to kill him.
The first time you fight Carlito (in Al Fresca Plaza), there will
be an intermission sequence where Brad hands you a gun. After
this, kill Brad. The message "Cases failed and the truth
is lost" will appear. Ignore this and select "Resume
Game" when you get the chance. Now that Brad is dead, all
you have to do is kill Carlito. Instead of him running away, he
just dies. If you go to his body he will be holding the P90 but
you cannot use it.
Defeating Cletus
Use the following trick to defeat Cletus, the drunk
owner of The Huntin Shack. You should have an Uzi and a a katana.
Then, make three or four unbreakables, depending on how many inventory
spaces you have. If possible, also find a shotgun. If you cannot,
you can get one during the battle with Cletus. Run over to The
Huntin Shack and watch the intermission sequence. After it ends,
use Flying Dodge towards the right side of the store. If done
correctly, you should land behind a store shelf. From here there
are two strategies you can try. The first is to hide behind the
shelf and shoot one Uzi bullet at a time to maximize damage. The
whole clip at once does little damage. Then, pick up the shelf
and run it in front of the counter. Wait for Cletus to begin reloading
his gun. Hop behind the counter and pick up the shotgun. This
is required to kill Cletus. Fire a few shots into him and The
Huntin Shack is yours. The second strategy is done by running
all three shelves in a line in front of Cletus. After this is
done he will fire shots into the shelves, and no damage will be
taken by you. Wait for him to start reloading, then hop behind
the counter as done in the first strategy. Take the shotgun, and
if possible a few wines. Run behind the shelves. He might just
throw you over the counter by using Lift Up. Once behind the shelves,
wait for him to reload again. Fire your shotgun. When your shotgun
is out of ammunition, use katana.
Wait for it to get dark outside and go to the courtyard where
the tower clock is located. When you see the psychopaths in the
army vehicle, kill the gunner on the back first. Then, shoot the
passenger until he is dead. Then, kill the driver. Drive to the
steps that lead to the part of the mall where Cletus can be found.
When you get to the steps, get out and dismount the gun on the
back of the army jeep. Run into the building, avoiding any zombies
on your way. When you get inside, avoid every zombie that you
can. If you get hit, quickly pick the gun back up and continue
to Cletus' shop. When you get in there, an intermission sequence
will start. After watching it, be ready to quickly shoot at Cletus
or you will get pelted with buckshot. Be quick to get your gun
and shoot at Cletus while he is drinking his wine. When he starts
shooting, take cover. When he reloads, continue your assault.
He should be dead in a matter of three minutes or less. You will
still have an automatic weapon that kills zombies in one shot.
You should have about 120 bullets remaining from the fight. However,
you now have a gun shop and do not have to worry about running
out of ammo.
Getting past Cletus
When you start a new game, immediately go to the gun
shop. If fast enough, Cletus should not be there. This gives you
a chance to take all the guns that you need to fight some of the
other Bosses. This also works on the third day. (Screenshot)
You do not need to fight Cletus for guns. All you have to do is
not help Brad during the first case file backup for Brad. By doing
this you can still do missions, but not case files.
Defeating the convicts
Get a sniper rifle from the gun shop before the owner appears and you must fight him. If you do not make it and you must fight him, the easiest way to take him out is to run back out of his store, kill the zombies outside, then shoot him with the handgun or Uzi. When you get the rifle, go to the park where the three prison convicts are found. There is a picnic area with benches just outside and to the right of Paradise Plaza. You can jump on top of this structure. This will keep you from having to worry about zombies jumping on your back while you scope the jeep from far away. The jeep always seems to get stuck near the food court with its back to you. From on top of this structure you can actually kill all three convicts with the rifle if you are positioned correctly. Once they are dead then you can jump down and access the .50 cal.
Run to the entrance to the maintenance tunnels. Take the vehicle
of your choice and drive into the tunnels. Follow the tunnel as
far as you can to the left. There you will find two parked trucks,
one with its headlights on. Exit your current vehicle and get
in the truck. Drive back out of the tunnels and find the convicts.
Ram the driver to kill him instantly, then repeat for the second
driver. Then, use the truck as cover to take out the gunner with
the weapon of your choice (preferably a firearm).
When is night for the first time, three convicts on a jeep spawn
in Leisure Park. The jeep has a turret attached to it. Kill Cletus
in the gun shop to get access to the shotguns and sniper rifles.
Get a sniper rifle and run out into Leisure Park. Jump on top
of the brown roof protecting the picnic tables. From there, you
should be able to kill each convict with four or five shots, thus
giving you the chance to steal the jeep and remove the turret
from the back to use as an extremely powerful weapon.
To kill the convicts easily, go to the underground with a car,
and not the motorcycle. When down there, take the first left.
There will be a large van at the end. Drive back up the tunnel
then drive out into the garden. Drive directly into the convicts.
This will usually kill the passenger and the gunner. Do this a
second time to kill the driver to earn the achievement, clothes,
a turret gun and a slightly new Hummer. This works best if they
get stuck as they usually do.
After killing Adam the Klown, take one of his chainsaws and go
outside where the convicts are driving around. Let them run into
a tree. Run up and kill the one on the turret, then the passenger,
then the driver. You can now pick up the .50 caliber gun and climb
into the jeep for the Carjacker achievement.
Get about three gallons of milk, etc., a SMG, and the katana. Go outside and wait until they hit a tree. Get a few feet away from the tree that they hit and shoot the gunner. Equip the katana. Slice the driver until he is dead. Wait until the passenger gets in driver seat. Wait until he hits something else, then kill him. Note: You may lose some health.
Defeating Kent
If you kill Kent before he becomes a complete psychopath,
he is easier to defeat. Go to the diner in Paradise Plaza pick
up a frying pan. Use it on the stove and hit him repeatedly.
Defeating Sean
Use the following trick to Defeat Sean, the coat leader.
Get a guitar then to the theaters. Go to theater 2. Get the big
metal shelf. Then, go to theater 4. Hit the coat leader with the
big metal shelf until it breaks. Then, take out your guitar and
hit him three or four times.
First, get the katana on the orange overhang outside of Colombian
Roastmasters. Save the katana for fighting Sean because there
will be cultists and zombies trying to attack you. Go to Movieland.
Go to the fourth theater. Before you turn the corner there will
be about ten to fifteen cultists in the way. The best way to get
past is to use a shotgun. Shoot one side of the pack then run
through them and open the theater. You will see an intermission
sequence of Sean doing something in front of a box. He will then
turn to you. Take out your katana. Before he swings his sword,
run behind him and hit him. Keep hitting him with the katana and
he will fall to his knees. Keep hitting him and he should die
in a matter of seconds. After he dies there will be a book and
a ceremonial sword on the ground next to him. Pick up the book
and keep it in your inventory. It is called "Brainwashing
Tips: Escorted Survivors No Longer Fear Death And Readily Jump
Into Danger". Its effect is self-explanatory.
Defeating Steven
Defeating Steven (the overweight manager of the grocery store), is like killing a zombie but longer. When the intermission sequence ends, go to the dairy aisle and pick up some milk. Make
sure to have a bat or a cleaver. As he chases you, go to the double doors where the intermission sequence ended and close one of the doors. Steven will pull out a shotgun and shoot for about three minutes. After he is done shooting and is reloading, run outside. Power-up the bat and hit him. It will do a great amount of damage if done correctly. If not, he will kick you backwards or shoot you. Do this with a bat (recommended) or a knife. Also make sure to have three milk, and two bats or knifes for easy battle.
Defeating yellow raincoat men
Get any kind of gun when you are facing the raincoat person. Aim for the yellow part directly above the green mask and shoot it. He should die with one hit. If he does not, then shoot him in the green mask area while he is stunned.
Defeating Bosses
Get to level 50 and shoot them with the real Megaman Blaster. Most enemies will go down in one to three hits.
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 reach it, switch vehicles and drive
back out. The car will be respawned. Repeat this process until
you have killed as many zombies as desired.
and Tony Horn.
When you enter the first plaza, turn left and you will see a group
of zombies. Kill them but do not use any ranged weapons. Keep
going and you will get to the start of the entrance plaza which
is blocked off. Get a ranged weapon out and start killing, as
the zombies cannot get to you. Keep killing and they cannot hurt
you.
Avoiding zombies
When walking in groups of zombies that you know are
going to grab you, start jumping. This allows you to go to the
area that you wish to travel to without being grabbed by a zombie.
Zombies cannot grab you while you are in the air.
Unlimited zombie hallway
Go to the entrance plaza and go upstairs. Go to the
end with the bee and go to the door marked "Exit". This
hallway is the one from the very beginning that Otis sealed off.
It is a dead end but is swarming with zombies that will continuously
respawn. This allows you to get a lot of kills quickly. You can
also stop by the antique store on the way and pick up a few katanas
or battle axes for very fast kills.
Recommended weapon combo
Have the Mega Blaster unlocked, Adam's saws, the three books to enhance his saws, and the rest however desired. Just by using the Mega Blaster and the saws you can last a long time without picking up different weapons. When they run out, just pick up the saws at the rollercoaster in Wonderland Plaza and the Blaster will be in the security room if you drop it or it runs out of ammunition.
Avoid making enemies
If you hit survivors, they will defect and attack you. Even one hit can cause this to happen.
Trip attack
When you jump, press X when your feet are just
off the ground. You should drop to the ground spinning your leg,
tripping zombies. You will get 30 PP for each zombie you hit.
This is very difficult to do while moving.
