In Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, staying human is a constant battle. Zombrex, a precious anti-infection drug, is your key weapon against becoming a zombie. Taking a dose slows the zombification process but is not readily available.
While the main story provides some Zombrex, acquiring more becomes essential for various reasons. You might need it for yourself or to help survivors throughout the game. This guide details all the Zombrex locations in Fortune City in Dead Rising 2 Off The Record, ensuring you have a steady supply to navigate the zombie apocalypse and achieve your desired endings.
Roy’s Mart
Location. The first Zombrex is available at the start of the game in the tutorial mission. Simply head to Roy’s Mart, remove the looters, and collect the Zombrex at the back of the store.
Fortune City Bank
Location. There are two Zombrex in the Fortune City Bank in the Uranus Zone. To access them, you’ll need to find two keys: Security Box Key 999 and Security Box Key 673.
Hidden Zombrex
Locations. There are three hidden Zombrex in various locations in Fortune City in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. The first one is on the safe house roof (you need to give Frank his first dose of Zombrex to make this available), the second is in the main bar of the Uranus Zone; all you need to do is break the glass and walk to the left side of the ledge to get Zombrex, and the third is in the Underground (complete story cases to gain access to underground).
Psychopath Zombrex
Location. You can get one Zombrex from Carl Schliff, the Postal Postman, in the scoop “Mail Order Zombrex.”
Survival Zombrex
Location. You can get three additional Zombrex from rescuing survivors and fulfilling requests throughout the game.
What You Need Zombrex For?
Three people in Fortune City need Zombrex: Frank, Jared Davis, and TK.
- Frank: Frank will need 4 Zombrex throughout the main story of Dead Rising 2: Off The Record. You will have 4 in-game hours to run out to Roy’s Mart to get Frank’s first zombrex dose, then he will require one dose every 24 hours until fourth mandatory dose.
- Jared Davis: Jared will need one Zombrex for initial rescue in the scoop “Once Bitten” and another Zombrex at 11 am on September 27th in the scoop “Chemical Dependency”.
- TK: TK can optionally be given a Zombrex for entering Overtime Mode and unlocking Ending S. If you want Ending A, don’t give TK zombrex.
How Many Zombrex Do You Need?
The answer depends on what you’re going for. If you want to just mess around in Fortune City, the answer is zero. If you want to play through the game to get Ending S, the only ending that gives you any achievements, you’ll need a minimum of four Zombrex for Frank and one for TK. If you want to do everything in Dead Rising 2: Off The Record, including rescuing all survivors and completing Overtime Mode, the answer is that you need seven total Zombrex.
Pawn Shop Unlimited Zombrex
Unlimited Zombrex can be bought from pawn shops in Fortune City. You’ll need to complete the scoop “One Man’s Trash” by going to Mo’s Imaginations on the Platinum Strip to activate all the pawn shops in Fortune City.
You can buy these zombies for $50,000, and the price keeps going up, so you should only use this method in an absolute emergency or if you’re feeling especially lazy.
