Okay so I am at level 24 and I'm going into this case file with 4 health items, 1 sub-machine gun and 2 regular guns. However I can't even seem to come close to beating it. For those who have beat it, how did you do it? I can get the motorcycle to 2 trucks with the bombs before Carlito shows up in his van and blows it up. Then I'm screwed because no matter how many times I shoot him, I can't get his health down to anything of significance. I also can't run away because he either runs me down, or the zombies get me. I tried using a skateboard once, but that proved utterly useless. The only other thing I have yet to try is bringing the convicts massive gun with me into the tunnels, but I doubt that it will be any help since I will be on foot the entire time and will end up running out of bullets before I even face Carlito. Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hop onto the motorcycle (the car won't pass through the road blocks) then go left to the upper left quadrant on the map. That should be your first stop. Quickly deactivate the bomb then head towards the upper right quadrant on the map. At this point, Carlito may or may not be there. At any rate, quickly deactivate the bomb and hop into the truck. It's the truck that looks exactly like the ones holding the bombs however this one is parked facing outward AND is accessible for driving. From here, make your way clockwise around the map. You should constantly access your map so you know exactly where you are and where you need to make your turns. You'll be able to complete this case without ever needing to confront Carlito. The goal, afterall, is to disarm the bombs and carry them back out the way you came in to the tunnels.

I was trying to figure out the point in the game where the largest number of 'non-rescued' survivors comes into play. In 7-2 Brad zombifies. But also, if you don't do any cases or let the cases expire when he is out of the security office he will be 'Lost' and you won't be able to count him. Jessie is there the whole time UNLESS you complete all the cases. Barnaby will be in the office after 2-2, but will zombify if you finish case 5-2. Isabella will be in the office in cases 6-7. Otis will be there the whole time, as well as any survivors you rescue -- provided they don't mutiny (fat ass or Kindell scoop missions).

Also, Simone will not go with you to be rescued unless you have solid knowledge of the zombie cure from Isabella, which you don't learn about until 5-2 or 6-1, I can't remember which... doesn't matter because 6-1 starts automatically once you get her back in 5-2.

So, if you get Isabella back to the office you can't avoid the Barnaby zombie scene. So you'd have to pick between Isabella or Barnaby as a survivor. The benefit of keeping Barnaby is you can stop doing cases after 2-3 (getting medicine for Brad), while the benefit of keeping Isabella is that you gain the knowledge of the zombie cure, which allows you to save Simone later on. Keep in mind, if you keep doing cases to get the A ending, you'll have fewer NPCs alive or in the office at the end.

The XBox thread on Dead Rising that talked about getting 50 survivors makes no mention of any of the people from the very beginning of the game. I don't think they can be saved and I don't think they count as survivors since they die no matter what.

Is there a definitive list of survivors that can never be saved?

I know the initial people in the enterance lobby all die. Also, when you first step foot outside and meet the convicts in the jeep, they bash an old guy. I assume he dies, but I never could find him because I was worried about getting killed by the psychos and getting the girl out of there.
