How to unlock the Cramped Quarters achievement in Dead Rising 2: Off The Record - Definitive Guide

*Note you can ONLY have 8 survivors/psychos on the map at any time.
if you're doing this blind on your own, you might need to kill any survivors/psychos keeping the next set from spawning in. (some survivors are unmarked/no quest)

For this one I managed to complete it on the first day with the first 8 survivors. I was going for the Alpha and Omega achievement as well when I did this.

First get Denyce

Then go kill Ted and either save or kill Snowflake. If you save Snowflake then you will need to take him/her back to the safe house, make sure Denyce is far enough away before you go in. Snowflake will be placed there no matter how far away s/he is.

On your way out of the safe house pick up LaShawndra in the Dark Bean and George in Casual Gals.

After that go back to the Yucatan to get Lenny. He is by the service desk in the employees only room.(this also nets you the Powered Up achievement)

***During this time if you are going to be doing the cases to keep the survivors away from the safe room. Having them stay in the maintenance room is a good place to keep them. Press LT and Y to tell the survivors where to go, they will go that location and stay until you call them again.***

Next follow the "Know when to Fold'em" mission to get Bill

Next mission should be "Welcome to the Family" with Jack and Kenneth

And then "Lush-ous Lady" with Kristin.

The location of the clown car for me was outside the Wedding Chapel in the Silver Strip. Get them all in the car and the achievement is yours. (later in the game, the car spawns in the Uranus zone. from the entrance go straight a little and look to the right.)

I hope this works out for others!

This guide is false, and you can't get the achievement if you follow this it actually soft locks you out of getting the achievement. You have a spawn cap of 6 on you so if you have 6 survivors on you, Stacey won't call anymore, and no more radiant survivors will spawn soft locking you.

Just want to say that Mr Ringtones is incorrect, Off the Record allows for a max of 8 survivors to be available at any time. So if you have 6 survivors available, that means that any event that spawns 3 or more survivors won't happen unless some of those 6 are either rescued or killed.

Survivor spawning is super sensitive and a little glitched. I assume the solution presented above works just fine but trying to nab this achievement in the wild on your own not so much. Survivors stopped spawning at 7 for me and when I rescued one of my 7, I got a single call for a single survivor.

Good chance there was an unannounced survivor somewhere but I couldn’t find them. Strongly urge following the guide above for this otherwise frustrating achievement.

I'm doing this right now and had to wait a while for 8.
I have, Denyce, LaShawndra, Chad, Doris, Randolph, Kristin, Bill and Jared.
I'd have had it sooner but Lenny and LaShawndra's husband died due to lack of healing items, being swarmed and wrong weapon distribution.

Currently waiting for 4 - 1 and Jared popped up after Signs of Life was done.

I cant remember if the clown car is either a random spawn anywhere on the Strip/ theme park, or it has specific spawns based on your story progression, I do remember it being outside the Chapel earlier around where OP said they were survivor wise.

Update: I found it the theme park. If you enter the Uranus Zone alien head on the Strip, it was through that tunnel and to the right. Again, not sure what the criteria is for it spawning, but I was waiting for 4 - 1 and found it there.

Simple and quick guide

Get Denyce (1) and then go to Yucantan Casino. Kill Ted and tame Snowflake. Get back to safe house and get rid of Snowflake (be sure to take Denyce apart to not loose her in safe house). Get Lashawndra (2) and Gordon (3). Go complete case 1-2 and 1-3. Get Bill (4) at Americana Casino. Get Lenny (5) at Yucantan. Go complete case 1-4 (again make sure to get them apart before going to safe house). Do the quest to Moe Magination on platinium strip. Go to Pallisade Mall to get Kenneth (6) and Jack (7). Go back to Americana Casino to get Kristin (8). Go get the clown vehcule and you should get the achievement.

Sometime the quest won't show up so save often.

You definitely don't have to do any cases after 1-1. Also, it's just good to know that the phone call for Bill comes in at 8:00 AM, for Kenneth/Jack at 11:00 AM, and 2:00 PM for Kristin (assuming you're not in their respective areas - waiting in the Yucatan works fine).

This guide was useful to me until I had to find the 8th survivor. Kristin never showed up and I never received a call in regard to her.

So, when I had 7 survivors, no other survivor would respawn unless one of them would die. I'm telling you this drove me nuts, because I struggled two days with it. No survivor mission and no random survivor whatsoever.

Ok, now the way I got it was to always kill one survivor, making sure only 6 of them would stay alive, and hoping that the next survivor mission would gather 2 of them.

Basically just repeat killing one survivor until you get a mission that requires to free 2 survivors.

I managed to get the achievement when the Cook psycho from Cucina Donati mission showed up. I freed the 2 survivors and then I put all 8 of them in the car at Uranus Zone.

Hopefully this helps someone.

Note: Snowflake will not get in the clown car (who'd have thought?) so make sure you don't tame it and have it following you. To get rid of her just keep hurting her until she dies.

This isn't that bad, the only annoying thing is the games engine will only load 8 survivors/psychopaths at any one time. So if you have 7 survivors following you and no more survivor side cases are appearing there must be a psychopath that needs killing somewhere. Kill them and you should get a survivor case. Once you have 8 survivors following you, you're good to go. I recommend getting the leadership book from Rags Mags in Palisades Malls upper floor, it greatly improves survivors performance.

Now you need to get 8 of them into the 'clown car'. It's harder than it sounds. The clown car is located outside the Church 'swept away' on the Strip, but after the side case 'snow job' it will be located by the entrance to the arena. The other one is in the Uranus Zone, I advise going for this one as there's not as many zombies as there is in platinum/silver strip and fortune park. Use firecrackers to distract zombies if needed. Now you have to get all 8 into the car. First get in the clown car and keep pressing so that the survivors will get in it. Once all 8 are in the trophy will unlock shortly afterwards.

See step 2 in the roadmap for the path I took to get 8 survivors.

At the very beginning of the game, collect 8 survivors and put them in the clownscube car, which is shown in the trophy picture. It stands near the entrance of **** Ranch Casino on the street

And I will add again If you don't find her there, go with your survivors to the Uranus zone (at least I found her there). After you defeat the psychopathic clown (the actual owner of this car), it will be finally parked near the entrance to the Arena, on the square (next to the platform where the motorcycle is), in the very place where you and the clown fought.

And I'll add a little more. Your friend can also get this trophy - you just need to put him in the same car. Voila
