How to unlock the Level Max achievement in DEAD RISING - Definitive Guide
HAVEYOUS33NCHEF has a great guide if you have the Megaman Blaster and make it past 72 hours mode in the story.... BUT to hit level 50 on your first playthrough the soonest possible time this is the guide you should use.
Once you enter the first area outside the security room (Paradise plaza) head right to a store with some bookcases (can look at map and look for store called Bachman's Bookporium) and grab the book Horror Novel 1 which will increase your PP bonus from killing zombies by 25%.
Now play through the first main story mission and get into the Entrance Plaza go to the 2nd floor right side facing the Mall main entrance to a book store called The Sinister Read and grab the pp book Horror Novel 2 which will increase you PP bonus from killing zombies by 25%.
With these 2 books head outside towards the middle point of North Plaza at Wonderland Plaza (shows a car symbol on the map) and grab the red sports car, you will want to head into the garage and start killing zombies. Using this method and having these 2 books will net you 750 exp for every 50 kills and 30,000 Exp for every 1,000 kills (45,000 exp per 1,000 kills with the 50 kill bonus's). If done correctly you can kill 1,000- 1,300 zombies every 5 minutes.
You need a total of 5,000,000 PP but using this method you will get this achievement much quicker than you think. Also while doing this method you will obtain the Mega Man Blaster once you finish the playthrough with 53,594 zombie kills.
For an more in depth look at the pattern of killing the zombies check out the Zombie Genocider guides:
You will also obtain these achievements along the way:
Note: You will not get the achievement at 53,594 kills but keep doing the method after the achievement until you hit level 50.
As you go through the game you’ll keep gaining level from doing various things, like rescuing survivors and taking pictures. You get the MOST PP from rescuing survivors. You get 500 PP per cultist you kill, 5,000 per Special Force agent. Every 1,000 zombies you get a nice bonus too. Just keep playing over and over until you reach level 50. For a quick way to level up: You need to have unlocked overtime mode, and if you have the megaman buster it’ll be even faster. Head to the warehouse when you start a game in overtime mode, and kill the agents in there (take their guns if you don’t have the mega man buster). Head out through the door to the roof and re-enter the warehouse. If any agent is standing on top of the shelves shoot them, then look down and start shooting the agents on the ground. They won’t shoot back. You’ll level up every 3-5 times you re-enter the warehouse and repeat this.
The second book is located in the Main Hall (Entrance Plaza), on the second floor, in the store The Sinister Read , which also gives +25% PP , which in total gives us an increase of +50% PP .
