Dead Rising/Scoops

Throughout 72 Hour Mode, Otis will call you on your transciever to notify Frank of Scoops - potentially newsworthy items which usually result in the rescue of one or more Survivors, or the defeat of a Psychopath.

If you're in the area of the mall where the Scoop takes place, you won't get the call until you leave it; take too long and you'll lose the chance of the scoop.

Cut From The Same Cloth

 * Call: September 19, 2:00pm
 * Psychopath: None
 * Survivor(s): None
 * Location: Columbian Roastmasters, Paradise Plaza

Another photographer has made his way to Willamette, and reckons his skill with a camera far outstrips Frank's experience.

Take photos of Kent when he's taking a picture, scoring over 600PP, and another of him striking his signature pose with over 700PP to succeed, and unlock the Photo Challenge scoop later.

 * Call: None
 * Psychopath: Kent Swanson
 * Survivor(s): Tad Hawthorne
 * Location: Columbian Roastmasters, Paradise Plaza

Determined to prove once and for all that his skills and commitment are greater than Frank's, he's planning to infect poor Tad with a zombie queen to record the transformation process.

Make it to the Columbian Roastmasters in Paradise Plaza before 1 pm, or else Tad will be killed.

Kent will tie Frank up,put a collar around his neck with a chain attached from high above. Kent will remove Franks weapons and clothing which Frank loses. Frank will basically be turned into Kent's photo slave. Frank then has to fight Kent barehanded.

Frank will only have access to the items around the fountain area outside of Jill's Sandwiches. Frank cannot move any further because of the chain.

There are two snacks hidden among the flowers.

There are zombies also to contend with, which Kent will take pictures of Frank if a zombie attacks you.

Use Frank's double lariat and the potted plants along the sides of the fountain to defeat Kent.

Wait until after Kent's jumping kick then hit him with a potted plant.

Kindell's Betrayal
Kindell's not convinced that Frank will be able to lead the Survivors out of the Mall, and is organizing a group of survivors to attempt a separate escape. Speak with and convince him to wait at least until Frank's helicopter is supposed to show up, and you'll avert a mutiny.
 * Call: September 21, 12:00pm
