"Using a firearm for self defense is our god-given right as Americans, Thomas."
—Jack Hall, reiterating the Second Amendment

Jack Hall is a psychopath in Dead Rising and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop.

The eldest son of the Hall family, Jack is alike to his father Roger in almost every way, especially in regards to mindset and rationale. Under Roger's lead, using a sniper rifle, he hunts down both zombies and survivors in post-zombie outbreak Willamette.

Jack is found in the Entrance Plaza during the scoop Mark of the Sniper with his father and brother

Mark of the Sniper[]

Main article: Mark of the Sniper

Jack, Roger, and Thomas are encountered when Frank West arrives at the Entrance Plaza to rescue Wayne Blackwell, who has been pinned behind the counter of Estelle's Fine-lady Cosmetics by the trio. Jack spots Frank first and is eager to prove his worth to Roger by delivering a clean headshot, but is denied by his father, who states that Frank's too easy of a target for him, considering his precision, instead encouraging Thomas to shoot Frank, stressing that it is necessary for them to survive. Jack agrees, citing the Second Amendment as justification and claims it would be self-defense to persuade his brother. Thomas, though initially torn, decides to heed his father's and brother's orders.

After he is defeated, he dies and drops a sniper rifle. After all three members of the Hall Family are defeated, Wayne can be rescued and brought back to the Security Room.

Battle Style[]

Jack attacks using a sniper rifle from afar, but lacks any close range attack. He will run away if Frank approaches him, until he is at a safe distance.

Sniper Rifle: Jack's only attack is to fire his sniper rifle from afar. Jack is moderately accurate, with his bullets hitting Frank most of the time. After firing each shot, Jack needs to take a second or so to bolt a new round into the chamber.

Infinity Mode[]

Jack (along with Roger and Thomas) appear at Leisure Park at 0:00:00 - 2:00:00. When killed, he drops a pack of cookies, an orange, a golden brown pizza, a fire ax, and a hunting knife.[Verification needed]

The family appears again at the Entrance Plaza at 5:07:00 - 5:19:00, and will drop the same items as they did previously.[Verification needed]

Trivia[]

  • Jack and Roger are the names of two antagonists in the novel "Lord of the Flies". In the novel, both Jack and Roger are part of a group of primitive hunters who pressure others into joining them.
  • Jack wears a baseball cap in promotional pictures, but wears a wool hat during gameplay and in his notebook portrait. 
  • The Hall family are the few psychopaths that don't have an end of fight cutscene, and they are the only psychopaths without theme music.
  • Like his brother and father, Jack shouts when a family member is killed and garners one when slain himself. However, he'll sometimes not comment nor receive a comment upon death (possibly due to a glitch).
  • If his brother and father are killed before him, he will shout "Dad!" and Thomas' name in an angry tone.
  • Jack has his own Photo Op, in which he high-fives his father after landing a successful hit. If Frank snaps a photo, it can net him up to 10,000 PP.
  • He shares the same forename as Jack Ellis from Dead Rising 2 and Off the Record.
