How to unlock the Life Saver achievement in Dead Rising 2 - Definitive Guide
Blazing Aces – Firstly you must have spoken to the Tape It Or Die guys on Day 3. You must also have completed all Case Files up to and including 5-2 but may want to hold off doing 6-1 until after getting the call for the call for the TIOD guys (thanks to Gacys Clown and x DRabNORMal x for the info). At 9:15am on Day 4 (thanks to Vestri Sator for confirming the time) you will receive a call giving you a Case to rescue them. Bring them back to the Safe House and you will receive the Combo Card.
Exsanguinator – Firstly you must have spoken to the Tape It Or Die guys on Day 3. You must also have completed all Case Files up to and including 5-2 but may want to hold off doing 6-1 until after getting the call for the call for the TIOD guys (thanks to Gacys Clown and x DRabNORMal x for the info). At 9:15am on Day 4 (thanks to Vestri Sator for confirming the time) you will receive a call giving you a Case to rescue them. Bring them back to the Safe House and you will receive the Combo Card.
Power Guitar – Bring Floyd from the Case “Rock Heroes” back to the Safe House and he will give you the Combo Card. “Rock Heroes” starts around 4am on Day 2 on the Silver Strip.
if you plan ahead or are just not "tight on time", you should always pick up the 3 gambling books before playing poker (either the recruit survivor mission, or the poker games in the warehouse afterwards) these books significantly increase your chances at getting a good hand, i honestly know very very little about poker, and these books make it almost impossible to lose ( ALMOST ) .. like tinsigmund i was usually just bluffing my hand and going all in, which you will usually win, and keep repeating till everyone else "busts" out.
*just a quick note, some AI can be a pain and will always fold, try betting a few time first (nothing too high, to scare them off) to bait them into betting.

- Plate Launcher – Obtained by doing the non-messaged side mission ‘Tape it or Die’
- Blazing aces – Obtained by rescuing the survivors from side mission ‘Tape it or Die’
- Exsanguinator – Obtained by rescuing the survivors from side mission ‘Tape it or Die’
- Power Guitar - Obtained by rescuing the survivors from side mission 'The Rock Show'
For the 'Tape it or Die' survivors, see 'Hero of Fortune City'. You will have to do a side mission for them, but it won't be until much later in the game that you actually rescue them. There's not enough time to rescue them on a non-storyline playthrough, so make sure you do it while solving cases.
Note: Some people have reported that the door to 'Tape it or Die' doesn't open when it's supposed to. This is possibly related to the fact that you can only have 8 survivors active at any one time in the game (safehouse excluded). The poker team in Atlantica Casino appear around the same time, make sure to rescue/kill them first.
