" This is all so unbelieveable... I still can't accept it as reality!"
—Barbara, upon reaching the Security Room

Barbara Patterson is a survivor appearing only in Dead Rising. She does not appear in Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop.

She is found in the empty store next to Crislip's Home Saloon. She is one of the hostages being held captive by Cliff Hudson during the scoop The Hatchet Man and can be rescued after Cliff's defeat.

The Hatchet Man[]

Main article: The Hatchet Man

Barbara was mistaken as a member of the Viet Cong and held captive by the psychopath Cliff. She and two other men, Rich Atkins and Josh Manning, were trapped inside an empty store next to Crislip's Home Saloon.

After Cliff is defeated, Frank West unlocks the doors and convinces the three frightened survivors to follow him to the Security Room. If Frank kills one of the survivors before recruitment, none of them will be willing to talk to Frank, and they become impossible to recruit.

Kindell's Betrayal[]

Main article: Kindell's Betrayal

After being rescued, Barbara will wait in the room with the green door. When Kindell Johnson believes that there is no helicopter coming in three days, he rallies up the other survivors in the same room, including Barbara, to make a break for it.

If Frank does not stop Kindell's mutiny, Barbara will leave the Security Room along with the other survivors in the same room. They will no longer count towards the number of rescued survivors.

Infinity Mode[]

Main article: Infinity Mode

In Infinity Mode, Barbara appears at the Security Room from 5:19:00 to 6:00:00 and is armed with a Sledgehammer. She also carries a Baseball Bat, a Cleaver, a Dumbbell, a Mailbox and a red cabbage.

Trivia[]

  • Barbara is wearing a Colorado Aspens jacket.
  • The official guide misspells Barbara "Babara" on page 118.[1]
