Zombies are people infected by mutated wasps or other zombies, either through stings or bites, appearing in Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Dead Rising 2: Case West, and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.

Their only purpose is to find, infect, and devour humans. They were previously human beings who were infected with the parasitic larvae of an unknown experimental wasp. Zombies are rather fragile and easier to kill than uninfected humans.

Zombies in Fortune City

  • Male zombies are the most common zombies, tougher than the female zombie, faster than the fat zombie.
  • Female zombies are the other type of the most common zombies. Weaker than the male zombie, the female zombies that are not fat will humorously bite the player in the crotch. They are sometimes found wielding handbags.
  • Fat zombies are fatter, slower, and stronger than normal. Female ones will only appear around the Slot Ranch Casino and the Food Court.
  • Rusher zombies are zombies that will rush against the player if they see him. They are faster than normal, even if it is a fat zombie. While this variety of zombie will usually be male, female ones can appear, albeit rarely.
  • Gas zombies are queen-carrying zombies that have been mutated with the gas. If the player gets too close to them, they will cough out gas and blood, which causes the player to begin coughing. They are about three times as strong as a male zombie, and three times as hard to dodge. Strangely, only males seem to be affected. They have the speed of a normal rusher zombie. They will also shove other zombies out of their way just to rush at the player.
  • Knife-wielding zombies are male zombies in a sports jersey that wield Bowie knives.
  • Cop zombies are male zombies dressed in an officer's uniform. They wield handguns, shotguns, and nightsticks.
  • Military zombies are male zombies in military attire found in the Fortune Park after the military rescue arrives. They wield assault rifles.
  • Construction worker zombies are male zombies in construction garb. They are usually found in the South Plaza and wield a variety of weapons, including lead pipes, large wrenches, and power drills.
  • Protester zombies are zombies that, ironically, wield CURE signs. They are found in the Platinum Strip, Fortune City Hotel and throughout the South Plaza only.
  • Cocktail dress zombies are female zombies dressed in revealing cocktail dresses. They appear after the first day at various hotspots in Fortune City.
  • Kitty zombies are female zombies dressed in black and yellow kitty costumes. They might have served as waitresses and bartendresses. They can be found at Pub O' Gold and the Poolside Area in Palisades Mall. They are sometimes found wielding massagers.
  • Dealer zombies are male zombies dressed in dealer's attire. They can be found in the various casinos of Fortune City. Some may wield croupier sticks
  • Showgirl zombies are female zombies dressed in fancy bodysuits and hats. They can be found at the pAtlantica and Yucatan casinos.
  • Bride zombies are a unique female zombie that appears after the Here Comes the Groom mission. This zombie was apparently killed by Randy Tugman while being forced to marry him, ironically, it is the same zombie that eventually finishes him off.
  • Fanboy zombies are male zombies who were fans of Terror Is Reality and wear purple TIR shirts and green caps. They are found in the Fortune City Arena and South Plaza.

Dead Rising 2: Case West[]

  • Security zombies are zombies that used to be security guards in the Phenotrans complex. They wield riot shields/nightsticks.
  • Gas Zombies are the zombies that appeared in Dead Rising 2. They have the same abilities like in the last game.
  • Researcher zombies are zombies that used to be researchers for Phenotrans. They wear gas masks and hazard suits.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record[]

  • Wrestler zombies are fat male zombies dressed in wrestlers' uniforms, they are encountered at Fortune City Arena.
  • Uranus Zone zombies are female zombies dressed in space-inspired attires found in Uranus Zone.
  • Scare zombies are zombies that play dead, hide behind a corner or in bathroom stalls that leap out when the player gets too close and there is an audio sting at that moment, attempting to scare the player.
  • Zombie Jock is the first zombie player encounters. Originally, he made an appearance in Dead Rising 2 itself, but was only seen in the cutscene, after which he disappears. Here, he actually appears in-game and can be killed.

Trivia[]

  • According to the Official Fortune City Website, zombie animals are kept as pets. Also, it shows that there is a "Zombie Zoo," filled with zombified specimens of creatures. One noticeable example is zombie penguins.
  • In Zombrex: Dead Rising Sun, Takahashi is bitten by his girlfriend Emily in the same way Frank and Chuck are bitten when a female zombie grabs them, in the crotch.
  • Jason Leigh, executive producer of Dead Rising 2 and Off the Record, stated: "One of the things the Capcom Japan guys told us right from the beginning when we were developing Dead Rising 2 is that it's not a game about killing zombies, necessarily. It's a game about interacting with zombies. And any time we went toward 'How many ways can we kill them?' they kept pushing back with 'How many ways can you toy with them?' 'Can you embarrass them and treat them as play things?' Once we finally got that... that's what made the game so fun and captured what they did with Dead Rising 1."[1]
