Dead Rising 2is a game where you can do a lot of different things. You can build special weapons with random items, heroically save survivors, try on unusual outfits, and, most of all, kill zombies. Doing all of these things can earn you all sorts of achievements or trophies, depending on what system you’re playing on.
Unlocking them all, though, is no easy task, as there is a lot, and they’re very time-consuming. After all, you aren’t likely to get them all in one playthrough. Yet, most of the achievements are, at least, doable. Here is a guide to them all.
All Trophies/Achievements In Dead Rising 2
In total, there are50 achievements or trophies in Dead Rising 2. Most of them can be obtained in the single-player campaign, while some require playing co-op and the online PvP multiplayer mode.
Zombie Destruction
Kill 5,000 zombies.
You may not quite do this naturally, but 5,000 still isn’t that much in Dead Rising 2. So, justgo on a few additional murder spreesalong with regularly playing through the game to get it.
Z-Genocider 2: Genocide Harder
Kill 53,596 zombies.
This is very hard and time-consuming. You likely won’t be able to do it in your first playthrough, as you won’t have the skills or items to get that many kills. Saving up your money andbuying the very expensive SUVand running the zombies over is the best method for this.
Zombie Genocide Master
Kill 72,000 zombies.
Like with Z-Genocider 2: Genocide Harder, it’s best to acquire the SUV anddrive through the horde.

Kill 1,000 zombies barehanded.
This achievement isn’t too hard, as you just need to go into groups of zombies and start beating them up.

Also, verify to have some health items on hand since you’ll often be surrounded by enemies who may damage you.
