Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster: All Survivors and where to find them
Where to find all 49 survivors in Dead Rising, as well as when they show up.
The Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is here, which means you'll be thrown back into Willemette for a few days exploring the mall, killing bosses, drinking orange juice, and saving survivors. There are 49 in total, and finding them all is a core part of the game. So to help you out, we've written a guide on all survivor locations in the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.
Throughout your time playing the game, Otis will call you with information on survivors and bosses he spots on the CCTV around the mall. We've broken down all the survivors by day, but we've also highlighted a few "hidden" survivors that aren't tied directly to missions that Otis gives you over the radio. We've also provided some insight on special actions you must take to save certain survivors when walking up and chatting to them isn't enough.
All survivors in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster
There are 49 survivors in total for you to find, with 15 of them not directly tied to Otis calls. These are either hidden around bosses in the mall, or outright hidden in various plazas that you can easier miss. We've broken down all the survivors day-by-day first, but there's also a section at the bottom of the guide with the survivors you'll need to keep a keen out eye for.
