The Mechanic is a Dead Rising 2: Case Zero mission. This mission involves the psychopath Jed Wright who is trying to kill Katey Greene and is immediately activated after completing Zombrex 1.

Overview[]

Jed Wright enters the safe house just as Chuck administers Zombrex to Katey. The mechanic hears Katey complain about being bitten. Chuck sees Jed and thinks that the gas station is his and apologizes for breaking in. Jed ignores him and lets him know that he will make things easy for everyone by killing Katey, and how she would be a perfect addition to his "collection". Clearly crazy, he rambles on about how much fun he has had with the outbreak, killing zombies and how they're just like killing people, but without the legal hassle, and even boasts about having killed the guy next door since he never liked him. When Chuck protests that Katey is not a zombie, Jed retorts that he saw Chuck give her the Zombrex, proving that she is infected; it's just a matter of time. Chuck holds off Jed as he yells at Katey to run. Jed shoves Chuck to the ground and enters the junkyard to look for Katey. The other survivors in the safe house lock themselves into the closet of the gas station's convenience store.

Jed and Chuck engage in a battle in the junkyard, where Katey is hiding.

After Chuck wins, Jed mocks him, saying that even if Chuck had stopped him from killing Katey, the government will eventually do it anyway. He then stumbles against a stack of cars, knocking loose the car at the top. The blue junker topples over and smashes into Jed's head, killing him. With the psychotic mechanic dead, Katey is safe once again.

Defeating Jed gives Chuck 10,000 prestige points and the Boomstick combo card.

Once Jed is defeated, the boomstick weapon will be left behind. The boomstick is an easy way to gain quick prestige points and level up Chuck by using the heavy attack to stab and lift zombies into the air, earning 2,500 prestige points per kill.

The boomstick will respawn where Jed dropped it each time that Chuck exits and re-enters the gas station junkyard.[1]

Trivia[]

  • The song that is played during the fight with Jed is The Best it's Gonna Get by Celldweller.
  • Reviews:
    • "Pyschopaths, however, have not changed one bit. These survivors were one of the most frustrating parts of the first Dead Rising game, as there was really no difference between killing a psycho and killing a zombie except that the psychos are faster, usually have ranged weapons and apparently have a greater resistance to pain than something which cannot feel pain. They were annoying before and that hasn't changed, as evidenced by the sole psychopath encounter in Case Zero. There is no joy in fighting the game's boss whatsoever, just frustration, annoyance and misery."[2]
    • "Psychopaths haven't changed much, situational bosses with massive energy bars still require full shotgun clips fired into them to die."[3]
    • "There actually isn't a lot of music to be had in Case Zero, so the ambiance and sound effects really carry the load here, but as players get to the end, the psychopath fight and escape sequences really pump out suitable music to get players going."[4]
    • "[Case Zero] also features a psychopath boss fight that I found particularly entertaining, mostly because the character you're required to fight with is extremely well-designed, and while the fight itself is kind of hokey and awkward, it's still one of the better moments of the prequel."[5]
