Dead Rising/Infinity Mode

Infinity Mode is a mode of game-play that becomes available after completing Overtime Mode. In Infinity Mode, the objective is keep Frank alive for as long as possible.


 * Frank must survive seven game days (that's fourteen straight real hours).
 * Food/Drink items in the mall do not respawn. Seon's Food & Stuff is locked from both sides, with shutters down.
 * There is no save game ability.
 * Frank's watch and camera are inaccessible
 * Psychopaths and Survivors appear at different locations than during 72 hour mode, and will all attack Frank. Killing them will reward you with food and weapons.

The 5 day and 7 day survivor achievements are only unlockable in Infinity Mode.

Frank's health
Frank's health will decrease by one box every 100 real-time seconds or one minute and 40 seconds. One Box of health is equal to 20 Game Minutes.



The Prestige Point meter that was once told how much PP Frank needed to gain a level in other modes will now slowly decrease. The PP bar displays the current remaining percentage of Frank's "current" block of health, i.e. the block will become white when the PP bar empties.

The PP meter will help to tell you how much longer Frank's current block of life will last before it disappears. Once the meter finishes all the way, Frank will lose a health block and then the meter will start to drop again for another health block.

Frank, with the full twelve blocks of life, will lose all of his health and die in 20 real minutes. (four game hours)

Clock locations
Since Frank's watch is unavailable, clocks are much more important in inifinity mode:


 * Security Room, Paradise Plaza - Video Surveillance Room above the green couch
 * Hallway, Paradise Plaza - Big White Post with the bird on it
 * Universe Of Optics, Paradise Plaza - behind the counter
 * Leisure Park - Clock Tower - Can use a Sniper Rifle to read the clock

 * Entrance Plaza - Giant inflated bee on a ball
 * Ned's Knicknackery - Entrance Plaza- Two Grandfather Clocks
 * Sir Book-A-Lot, Wonderland Plaza - Grandfather Clock

Books
Don't eat any food until you have all three books!


 * There are three different health books located around Willamette, each increasing the ability for food to heal, allowing Frank to last longer:
 * One can be found in the empty room next to Crislip's (100% increase),
 * One in The Sinister Read in the Entrance Plaza (E201), and
 * One at Sir Book-A-Lot in the Wonderland Plaza (W204), where you find the Japanese tourists in the normal game (50% increase).


 * The Cooking book in We Luv Books in Entrance Plaza will double the effect time of the juices/smoothies.
 * The two Energizers (From Isebella) stop health drain for two game minutes each normally, but can be doubled to 4 game minutes each with the Cooking book.

Food
There are two distinct sources of food in the Mall:
 * Mall Food: Food that's just sitting around in the mall
 * Psychopath/Survivor Food: Food dropped by psychopaths and survivors when Frank kills them

Food dropped by Psychopaths and Survivors appears in revolving cardboard boxes. These cardboard boxes burst open and expel their contents up and out into the air only when Frank approaches them. (If a box opens when it's near a railing, there's a good chance that at least some of its contents will go over the railing.) Before the box has opened, food items that it contains do not thaw or spoil.

Psychopaths usually drop around seven blocks worth of food, and survivors usually drop around one block worth of food.

Psychopath/Survivor Food
Highlighted sections are psychopath and survivors which give more food than average.

Survivors and psychopaths appear and disappear at the same time three times each day: 00:00, 07:00, 19:00

Survivors always remain for only one period and never appear a second time.

Note: True to their nature, the convicts appear every day around midnight to terrorize you in Lesiure Park. DO NOT engage them if you can help it because none of the three carry ANY food and the machine gun hurts.

 * 2) Brad Garrison, zombie
 * 3) Connie (Mom from opening)
 * 4) Dakota (Daughter from opening)

Achievements
After 5 days survival, you will get a "Achievement Unlocked" message. Frank can immediately pick up the laser sword in the security room in the corner, next to the Real Mega Buster if it was unlocked. The laser sword is available immediately, Frank does not have to wait to complete infinity mode.

To retain the laser sword for other games:
 * Frank MUST die and save the game.

If you turn off the game instead of dying, the laser sword will be lost.

To keep the sword, you do not have to wait until day 7 to die and save the game.

Surviving 7 days unlocks Arthur's boxers. Arthur's Boxers are the same boxers with red hearts that Arthur wears in the Ghosts 'n Goblins and Ghouls N' Ghosts games. Like all of the clothing, the boxers have no special powers.
