Got it from SpinelesS at the xbox360achievements.org forum.
If you don't get a call for someone who you should've gotten a call for just head to the spot after the appear time, they will be there.
This list will also fill your notebook.
And a small tip: the book located at the bingo place (same place as the mission 'Code Blue' will allow survivors who otherwise have to be carried or walk slow to walk normally with you. Very necessary!
I then completed the mission Lost.. by rescuing Doris and Chad, I then did the mission Short Sighted by rescuing Esther Alwin, I bought them all back to the safehouse. After that the mission Welcome to the Family popped up at 11:00, whilst heading there I grabbed the Leadership book that’s in the One Little Duck Bingo shop on the silver strip. I then rescued Jack and Kenneth from the Welcome to the Family mission.
I then continued with Case 1-2 and 1-3. Once I had finished with Rebecca, I waited outside the Americana Casino with Jack and Kenneth until 14:00 for the mission Lushious-Lady to appear. I then went inside and completed the two rescue missions inside the Ameriana Casinso and they are Workers Compensation and Lushious-Lady. By this point I had five survivors following me and brought them all back to the security room.
At 15:00 the mission Brains over Brawn appeared in the South Plaza went there and rescued the four survivors. I then waited until 17:00 with the four survivors I rescued outside the arena for the mission Barn Burner to appear. I rescued the survivors form Barn Burner and put them all in the maintenance room near the toilets in the Americana Casino to complete the mission Chuck the Role Model. Upon defeating Brendon, I rescued Vikki. By this point I had 7 survivors following me and bought them all back to the safe house.
After that I completed the following case missions: Case 2-1 and Case 2-2. Whilst on my way there I grabbed the Zombrex in the Yucatan Casino. After that I grabbed the Zombrex that spawns in the underground area. I then waited in the underground area until 22:00 and headed to the Silver Strip to rescue Sven for the mission Code Blue. After that I completed the mission Once Bitten by rescuing Jaread, I had two survivors following me and bought them back to the safe house.
After that at 22:00 the mission It Tastes Like Chicken appears, I killed Antonie and rescued Jasper and Cinda and bought them back to the safe house. I then waited inside in the Arena until 03:00 for the mission An Industrial Fashion to appear. I rescued Willa and Terri and then waited with them in the Fortune City Hotel until 04:00 for the mission Rock Hero’s to appear. I then went to the Silver Strip and rescued Jenna Floyd and Allen from there. By this point I had 5 survivors following me again and bought them all back to the safe house.
At 07:00 I gave Katie more zombrex, I then waited outside in the Platinum Strip until 08:00 so that I could complete the hidden mission where you can rescue Erica, Bessie and Rose from Kathy’s Space. I took them all back to the Safehouse. After that I crafted some new weapons and waited in the safehouse until 10:00 and completed that Cases 3-1 and 3-2.
Once they were completed, I waited outside the Palisades mall in alleyway by using the Hot Excitorama short cut until 12:30. I then defeated Slappy and rescued Linette from the Wilted Flower mission which unlocks the Royal Flush Plaza to the Palisades Mall short cut. I then bought her survivor back to the safehouse.
After that I then waited inside the Slot Ranch Casino until 17:00 for the mission Here Comes the Groom to appear. Whilst waiting around I got the book Juice Boost from the Luaii Wauwii shop and crafted some Painkiller drinks by using the Whiskey that is on the counter in the Slot Ranch Casino. I then killed the Psychopath Randy and rescued Danni the survivor from there.
I then waited in the Royal Flush Plaza with Danni until 19:00 for the hidden survivor Janus to appear outside the Atlantica Casino, whilst waiting around be sure to grab a handgun from the shop In the Closet since he won’t follow you if you are not carrying a gun. I then waited on the Platinum Strip with Danni and Janus until 20:00 for the mission Par for the Course to appear. I then rescued Luz from the SporTrance shop and brought all three survivors back to the safehouse.
Whilst waiting around until 23:00 just before then the mission Stuart’s Scheme appeared. I headed back to the safehouse and talked to him. You will want to complete this side mission otherwise all the survivors you’ve rescued thus far will leave. After that I waited in Yucatan Casino until 23:00 and completed Case 4-1 The Source. After that I completed the mission Mail Order Zombrex mission where you kill Carl the psychopath.
I then waited in the Palisades Mall until 01:00 and killed the three survivors in the Gambling room in the Atlantica Casino. I killed them as you have to beat them all at poker in order for them to follow you which I think can take quite a while to do even with the three Gambling books.
I then waited in the Atlantica Casino until 02:00 for the mission Hunger Pains to appear. Make sure you have some type of food on you since you need to give it to Richard for him to follow you. I then waited in the Excitorama short cut with Richard until 03:00 for the mission Fetching Females to appear. I then rescued Nina, Cora and Summer from there and used the Brand New U shortcut and bought the 4 survivors back to the safehouse.
04:00 and the mission WWJWD? appeared. I killed Seymour and rescued Ray from the nearby shop being attacked by a zombie. I then bought him back to the safehouse. When I went back to the safehouse I spoke to Lenny in the canteen and he give you the hidden code for the Yucatan Casino safe containing $250000. I then headed to the Yucatan Casino got the money. This is entirely optional, but is a good way of making a bit extra cash whilst waiting.
After that I then got the Cement Saw from the nearby maintenance room that’s near the shop Luaii Wauwii you will also need some plates that’s in Luaii Wauwii. It’s really important that you get these two items before hand as the next segment is quite tight in time. Waited in the Yucatan Casino until 06:00. I then headed to the KoKoNutz Sports Town shop and went through the door at the back on the ground floor. I gave the cement saw and plates to Wallace to complete the first Tape it or Die mission.
I then headed to the slot ranch casino for the mission Bank Run, however, I recommend that you give Katie the Zombrex at 07:00 before doing this as it was quite tight on time and I got back to the Safehouse with the survivor with only 30 minutes spare about 2-3 real life minutes before Katie would turn. Once that was completed, I crafted some painkiller drinks and new weapons then waited until 09:00 in the Royal Flush Plaza for the four snipers to appear in the Platinum Strip. I think it’s best that you kill them as they can be quite annoying when escorting survivors I think.
After I killed the four snipers and headed to the Fortune City Hotel for the mission Slave to Fashion. However, for this mission you need to be in your underwear in order for Europa to follow you. So there’s a shop in the South Plaza near the Arena entrance where there is an underwear rack that you could use or you could just go back to the safehouse and choose them from there.
After that the mission Chemical Dependency appeared where you need to go back to the safehouse and give Zombrex to Jared who’s in the canteen, if you don’t do this, he will die meaning 1 less survivor. Once I had completed this it was around 11:30 and the next mission I did was Art Appreciation, so I used the Royal Flush Plaza shortcut bought the painting from Randolph and waited in the Palisades Mall corridor with Randolph until 13:00. The next mission was Know When to Fold’Em which is in the Silver Strip I rescued Bill from there, and then headed to the Americana Casino for the mission Shell Shocked. I rescued Dean from there and bought the three survivors back to the safehouse.
At 15:00 I was waiting around in the Royal Flush Plaza for the mission One Hit Wonder to appear. For this you need to be wearing the Tuxedo and Black Dress Shoes which can be found in the shop called Modern Businessman which is opposite the pharmacy. Also make sure you have something to drink for Bibi.
Now for this next part I would recommend saving your game in the slot ranch casino toilets as this mission for me was a nightmare. Basically, for the mini game you have to play, some of the button prompts would disappear for me before getting into the green section where you have to press that said button. I eventually got past this with a bit of luck by not having any of the buttons disappear on me. After completing the mini game successfully, Alison, Cameron and Juan will start following you. You will want to then kill the zombies around Bibi and speak to her for her to follow you. I then bought the four survivors back to the safehouse.
After that I completed the side mission Bent Wood where you have to get the golf club from SporTrance for Luz.
I was then waiting around in the safehouse until 19:00 for the Case 5-1 Stake Run to appear. I completed Case 5-2 The Getaway, and the headed to the Atlantica Casino for the mission Stranded Siren. I rescued Tammy and by this point it was gone past 20:00 and the mission Dead or Alive? appeared. I then put Tammy inside the corridor in the Palisades Mall and rescued Andy. Make sure you stay close to Andy whilst talking to him otherwise he will defect from you.
I then took Tammy and Andy back to the safehouse via the Brand New U shortcut. I then waited until 23:00 in the Palisades Mall corridor for the mission Two’s Company to appear. I headed to the Hot Excitorama shop and gave the Trophy to Walter just so I didn’t have to put up with him moaning. I then took them both back to the safehouse by using the Brand New U shortcut.
I then completed the mission World’s Most Dangerous Trick since I had some free time to spare. After that I was messing around in the Platinum Strip until 02:00 for the mission Family Feud to appear. I talked to Lillian on the hotel roof and then rescued Camille from the Atlantica Casino and bought her to see Lillian. I then took them both back to the safehouse.
After this the Military will arrive at 9:00 so make sure you are in the safehouse. Then at 09:15 the Tape it or Die mission will appear, I rescued Left Hand Lance, Johnny Pipes, Wallace and Gretchen and bring them back to the safehouse. The last two survivors Mathew and Michael will appear when you are escorting Rebecca back to the safehouse in the platinum strip in the middle section where the outside toilets are. You will want to drop all your weapons and go and speak to them and bring them all back to the safehouse.
Now that’s everything covered, I hope this helped you out. If you are still struggling feel free to use this as a reference.
Dead Rising 2 - Hero of Fortune City Achievement Guide
Thanks again!
Survivors are saved by finding them and escorting them back to the safehouse. Survivors are mostly messaged to your cellphone while others only appear at certain points throughout the game.
This achievement must be done in a single playthrough, as opposed to 'Data Miner' which is cumulative, although both can be done in a single run, if managed correctly.
It is possible to do this in your first playthrough, along with the storyline, but I recommend saving them for a different playthrough, along with the 'use all items on zombies' achievements.
A guide for gaining both achievements in one playthrough can be found here.
A few pointers about survivors:
- The game only allows you to have 8 survivors at the same time during the game, so if a mission doesn't trigger, chances are you'll need to finish a few missions before they appear.
- When a message is incoming for the area you're currently present, the message will not appear. Leave the area to trigger it.
- Do not hang about in the safehouse waiting for calls, messages do not appear and you might miss out.
- Do not leave your survivors behind a loading screen. They gradually lose health and will die eventually. Always wait at the door until all the survivors have a green door icon above their heads/avatar.
- Check their avatars. If someone seems to be lingering, chances are they are cripple or they're being held by a zombie. A quick glance at the avatar will reveal it's condition.
- If you happen to come across a psycho encounter while escorting survivors, cram them in a maintenance room or any room with doors that is zombie-free and close it.

This trophy only counts survivors that you personally led to the Safehouse, so when using your notebook to gauge your progress towards this trophy, remember that 11 of the survivors appearing as "Safe" were already in the Safehouse and will not count towards your 50. There are a total of 64 survivors that can be rescued in the game however, so you have a fair amount of leeway.
For best results, use the Leadership magazine found in One Little Duck Bingo (N102) to make the survivors more effective. You can give survivors healing items to restore their strength, by equipping the item, targeting the survivor and pressing the button when prompted to "Give Item". You can give basic weapons to some survivors in the same way, however not all will take weapons, and they will never take combo weapons.
If you're too busy busting heads to lead survivors yourself, you can also send them to a safer area by holding to target their destination and pressing to set a waypoint. When travelling between zones always make sure that all of the survivors following you are with you before exiting the zone. You can tell by targeting the exit and looking at the survivor's icons. There will be a green door symbol above any survivors who are in range of the exit and will travel with you into the next zone. Any survivors left behind in a zone will start losing life, gradually depleting until you return to the zone they're in or they die.
