Indoorsman And Outdoorsman Achievements for the Price of One

Okay, so if you don't want to waste 4 hours of sitting inside and outside then simply do this glitch. First, start a new game and go down to entrance plaza. But don't activate the cutscene that lets the zombies in. If you want to go do something else for 2 hours, then make sure that you make the right analog stick move to the right or the left by taping it down, or just put something on it to make it stay. Then when the 2 hours is up, come back and make sure you got the Indoorsman achievement. If you didn't get it yet then make sure that it is noon on the 2nd day. When you do get it then let the zombies in and just run to the stairs. After the cut-scene in the security room, save your game and turn your 360 off then back on. When you get back to the main menu, load your game and when you..

How to Beat Carlito

1st time: Run around to the back of the food court and jump on the boxes in the seating area, then follow the catwalk to where Carlito is, when he reloads time to UNLEASH A HAIL OF F*CKING BULLETS INTO HIM!then he runs around the back and there is a wall you get behind (on top of a restaurant) the wall will be blue, you can aim at Carlito and he will just shoot the wall so UNLEASH A HAIL OF F*CKING BULLETS IN TO HIM!

2nd time: Use the Machine gun from the convicts vehiclem (go onto the the second floor carlito should die in abot 3-8 seconds deponding on your accuracy.


Easy Perfect Gunner

To get the Perfect Gunner achievement easily and without breaking a sweat, go into the Butcher's place and unload an SMG into a side of beef that is hanging from the cieling. I don't know why but this counts as a hit.

Cheers!


Easy Karate Champ

To get the Karate Champ achievement quickly is a bit of a drag but just use the double lariet move time and time again on the multiple zombies down in the M. Tunnels

Cheers!


Easy PP!!!!!!!!

First, go to the plaza where you fight this insane old dude and a bunch of phycos (at least 50). Go where all the zombies are (you WILL se them!) and take pictures and you should get 2000PP each time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Super easy pp and a lot of zombie deaths

First go to the hardware store in al fresca plaza set up a barricade and get alot of lead pipes and throw them at the zombies. It's a timed insta kill that gives you pp. After that kill some zombies with queens and since your in al fresca plaza theres millions of zombies clusterd together so bombs away if it gets to late run over to the fitnest place and got to the bathroom and save make sure none of the windows are broken the when the lights come back on run back to the hardware store and let the zombie killing spree begin again


Unlimited Guns

To get unlimited guns (pistols only) go on a little zombie hunt and look for zombie security guards. They usually have a pistol with full ammo. Use this cheat and fill your pockets with guns and maybe some food then go to the north district. In the north district there is a gun shop with a guy who refuses to let you have guns and you have to fight him. DON'T TRY TO FIGHT HIM WITH JUST MELEE AND CLOSE RANGE WEAPONS. You'll probably die unless some miracle happens and even if you get close enough to have an edge on the fight he'll just throw you out which is why you need to use the security guard cheat and get lots of pistols and maybe some food just incase.


Sub machine guns

1. There is a sub machine gun in the paradise plaza first you go to the stairs to the right and there is a blue balcany thin on the wall. Go to the middle of the stais and jump up on it then go all the way back and there it is

2.there is one to the top left corner of the park and it is in a tree marked with a rock and pick it up and throw it in the tree where the gun is

3.there is one in al fresca plaza in the fountain

4.there is one in the entrace plaza it is in one of the palm trees you can only do this if you have zombie ride you jump on the zombie for zombie ride and jump off the zombie on to the tree

Best weapons for free

When you find the gun shop there should be a guy gaurding it with a shot gun. Go inside and hide behind a magazine rack. When he takes 6 shots he reloads so when he does sprint behind the counter closest to the door and grab a sniper rifle. Let him thorugh you out and go back in. This time when he reloads, snipe him in the head a few times and the gun store is yours! Now you can get unlimited sniper rifles and shotguns.


How to aim good with good weapons!

Here is a way to kill zombies or mini-bosses fast. First, you need any kind of gun, but I should request that you should get the snipers, shoguns, sub machine gun, heavy machine gun, and the machine gun you get from the special troops. All you have to do is stand their and press the shoot button once at a time and Frank should kill the zombies one at a time. Here I will list soime of the types of gun you can use and how good are they at aiming:

Sniper Gun: It has really good aiming and can kill 30 zombies without missing a bullet if the zombies are in a group. Each time you shoot your gun, frank aims at their heads and you see alot of bleed, and taking a picture of it will be good PP.

Shogun: This weapon is really good at killing multiple zombies at once and can cle..


How To Defeat These Bosses Easily

These are the bosses that I have beaten quite a few times now and these are the ways I found best.

CARLITO 1:

INFO:

The first Carlito fight takes place in the food court and Brad is also there in the mission "Back-up For Brad". Carlito is on top of the stands just by the main seating area to start off with and will soon move to run around the shops around the outside of the main seating area.

ACTION:

The easiest way to kill Carlito is to find the hidden SMG in the Paradise Plaza (see other submissions) and first riddle him with bullets by standing in the main seating area and shooting him through the windows. After some of his life drains, he will move to the rooves of shops around the main seating area, Again stay where you are and shoot at him..


Kathy Peterson can be saved!!!!

Just about impossible I noticed at the start when the zombies get let in protect KATHY PETERSON and clear all the zombies out her way STAY and protect her when most zombies are cleared out her way she will start to limp to the stairs this is the hard bit she will not stop if there are zombies in her way thats why you grab a bench or tv or bin and run ahead and kill all the zombies if she makes it up the stairs youve saved her OH BY THE WAY all the others at the start must be dead to do this like verelene wills alan peterson mark and brian ect


The Treadmill trick

Go to the gym and run onthe treadmill and it will give you 2,ooopp but when you run on all of them it gives 10,000pp


Easy great weapons at the beinning of the game

When the zombies first come at you, you will notice a man with a shotgun by the water fountain. Now when he dies pick it up and run up the stairs. If you can't find it kill some zombies on the ground like they are praying. Then once you finish run to north plaza and find the food in the fountain and continue forward until you come to a hall way that is filled with zombie. Run down this but use a melee weapon not your shotgun. Once you reach the end go in the store. There will be a guy shooting at you. Get behind the rack and pull out your shot gun. Then every 6 shots he will reload, that is when you jump out and fire off a round or adjust your positioning.once you finish him you get 3 shotguns 2 snipers and infinite handguns, happy hunting


Super(ball)killer

A great way to kill a bunch of zombies is to use the soccer ball. It will usually bounce off other zombies and kill others.

Mega-man

Easy psychopath defeat

First, I must tell you that you must defeat Adam from the scoop "Out of Control" for any of this to work.

Ignore what anyone else says about defeating psychopaths. Some must be done a certain way, but most do not.

Adam: Have Yuu and Shinjo armed with handguns and make them hide in the store right outside the platform to the Space Rider. When the battle starts, immediately run away in any direction. Shoot his balloons. If you get lucky like me, he will get stuck in the store that Yuu and Shinjo are in. They will continually shoot, and you may not have to do anything at all.

Cletus: Hide behind the display rack closest to the right wall. After Cletus fires six shots, pop out and fire a shot at his head. Continue until he is defeated.

Cliff: Have ..
