How to unlock the He Hasn't Covered Wars... achievement in Dead Rising 2 - Definitive Guide
this walkthrough is intended for people who want a way to get all firearms consecutively. it is possible to do this with a level one character but obviously it is easier and faster to do with a leveled up character. i would advise you to pick up every weapon i list here although you might have gotten quite a few weapons before. this will ensure that you don't get lost along the way or miss any items. also do use all weapons as soon as you pick them up so you don't get confused which items you already used. furthermore i would advise to get a kill with every weapon possible just to make sure the achievement really pops. you should only have to hit a zombie with the weapon but as the achievement has proven dodgy before just get the kill, it will not take much more time than doing this without getting the kill.
against contrary believe, you will not have to have access to the underground lab to finish this achievement. though you will have to have succesfully finished case 2-2 (one of the earlier cases of the game) and you will also have to have completed the mission WWJWD? (which will appear on DAY 3 at 4:00AM) in order to get the achievement.
the achievement will be doable in only some minutes so it is possible to do this with only a few hours left on the clock or in overtime mode.
i will start my walkthrough at the safe house to avoid any mix ups or confusion.
------------------------------------------------------
head out of the safe house, to the royal flush plaza and from there switch over to the slot ranch casino. make your way to the vending machines at the back of the food court, climb onto them and from there jump towards the wooden walkway which connects the whole eastern store front of the food court. run along the walkway and jump down onto the awning of hungry joe's pizzeria.

now go back to the slot ranch casino and leave towards the silver strip. cross the street, enter hot excitorama and make your way to the palisades mall via the back door and the side street. use the escalator to get to the second floor and visit the high-noon shooting range.
handgun - high-noon shooting range - in a show case
shotgun - high-noon shooting range - on a shelf
sniper rifle - high-noon shooting range - on a shelf
go back down the escalator and head towards the water lounge thingy in the middle of the mall. grab the lmg (on a rock to the right of the southern entrance). the lmg will only spawn if no lmg is in your inventory or no active psychopaths are in the area.

take the underground access, get on the bike and drive until you come upon the underground access area of the americana casino. get into the maintenance room and grab the merc assault rifle.

get back up on your bike and drive to the next ramp on your left. get up there and pick up the:
blast frequency gun - underground - on a ramp in the north-western curve of the underground tunnels
(it is not possible to kill normal zombies with this gun, only gas zombies can be killed. don't worry though, hitting a few normal zombies with the b.f.g. is absolutely adequate.)
once back on your bike, turn around and head for the south plaza underground access.
enter the plaza and head to your left. either do the WWJWD? mission now or have a look at the buzz saw by the statue to get the six-shooter (if you have done the mission before).

HE HASN'T COVERED WARS - UNLOCKED!
THESE ARE ALL WEAPONS NECESSARY FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUILD ANY COMBO WEAPONS.
EDIT: Turned out I forgot about the six-shooter when retrying each gun with different button combos. The achievement finally popped when I used the six shooter with LT+X.
Assault Rifle - Can be found in the Food Court area above Hungry Joe's Pizzaria. Use the vending machines near the Yucatan Casino entrance to jump up.
LMG - Can be found in the Yucatan Casino on the ledge in the middle near the slot machines.
Handgun, Shotgun and the Sniper can be found in Palisades Mall in the High-noon Shooting Range.
Merc Assault Rifle - Can be found in the Atlantica Casino on the south side in a small room with the rifle being on the table.
BFG (Blast Frequency Gun) - Can be found in the underground tunnels, can only be found under there after the case 2-1.
Six Shooter - Can only be gotten after the mission WWJWD which is given to you after you defeat Semour.
There are three types of attacks...
X - Press this to shoot randomly at zombies without aiming.
LT and X - Aim down the sight of you gun and press X
LT and RT - Aim down the sight of your gun and press RT
If you're still struggling, feel free to use this as a reference.
Hope this helps,
Assault Rifle - Hungry Joe's Pizzeria - Use the vending machines to reach the top of another store. Go through the linear path to reach an awning. Turn right and you will see the Assault rifle on top of an awning over Hungry Joe's Pizzeria.
Blast Frequency Gun - One can be found in the Underground after Case 2-2: Ticket to Ride.
Enter the underground from the ladder in the Royal Flush Plaza
Grab the 4 x 4 to your right and drive it back the other direction, past the maintenance room and the ladder.
Go passed the green tarp topped barge and it will be on the first large raised section on the right, with a 4 x 4 (vehicle).
May be hard to see but the gun is blue, and to the left of the distant 4 x 4.
Handgun - Highnoon shooting range (grab 2 grenades while your here. One for Hail Mary and one for the explosive achievement).
LMG - Yucatan Casino cashier and vault area - On top of the center pyramid or in Palisades in the center where the slides are.
From the picture above, go towards the enterance and look to your right to find it
Note the carpet and stairs to help find it.

Shotgun - Highnoon shooting range
Six Shooter - WWJWD make sure you loot the gun from the table saw, after the psycho dies

Use the Weapons Checklist below to keep track of the firearms you've used. You don't have to kill the zombie, just hit them. The Six Shooter is a unique weapon acquired in the mission "WWJWD?" and Blast Frequency guns do not appear until Case 6, making this trophy missable! Apparently hits on gas zombies do not count for the weapons trophies, so make sure to hit a normal zombie.
