The fastest way to a killer tiger's heart is through its stomach.

Find three steaks and give them to Snowflake

It's a bit tricky.

The way I did it was to put the steak on the ground between him and me and when he tried to charge he would eat the steak.

ATMs are kinda all over the place. The easiest ones to find are by the entrance to the Strip in the starting area.

One of the side missions in the Atlantica Casino/Food Court tasks you with following a survivor as he makes some last minute withdrawls that helps you find more, and you get $50k for bringing him back as well.

I had Gambling 2 at some point, and it might have made a bit of a difference, but I'm not totally sure. Didn't really have the time during my first run to find more books.

Having all the gambling books seems to make you just win more often and possibly in higher amounts. I went from about $2.2 million to $3 million in about 20 minutes of using the mega slot machine at the Slot Ranch.

Seriously, if anyone wants money fast, that is the way to do it.

You need to work on them track and field skills cause mine popped on the first try.
 
lightsaber saved my ass so many times :lol, the best weapon in the whole game :D

bummer that one guy defected and i lost a survivor, aside from those two, i have every survivor so far

Terror is reality still takes 5 or 6 tries to get one game going :(

I had major problems with this guy. Fought him 3-4 times before I abandoned it and figured I would kill him on the second play through.

Get a sniper and a shotgun from near the Atlantica Casino. When he's close range, hit him with the shotgun, when he runs off to eat his damn food to recharge, shoot him with the sniper to stop him. Kill this asshole.
After about 6 tries I found a decent strategy, although it requires using projectile weapons.
I created leaf blower that shoots jewelry and had a couple of guns in my inventory if Chef hits me with a plate or pan, whatever the case might be. The routine is simple: he runs at you (this is the time allocated for you to shoot at him, point blank or at distance), once you shoot him he will start throwing stuff, usually after that he runs to eat, if he hits you though he will run to eat after the hit. So you wait until he runs at you, shoot him, hide behind a barrier, shoot him again while he runs after the food, then he will start throwing stuff or running again, and then again he will start running at you and you shoot point blank. Rinse and repeat.

Virgin strategy
The super soaker flamethrower was very useful in this fight. To avoid getting hit, jump over the fence either on the left or right side where the benches are. He won't be able to hit you if you're on the other side of the fence, so use the "flamethrower" to blast his ass across the fence, or alternatively if it doesn't reach, get on the fence. This should definitely take a good chunk of his health. Use the fence trick, once you lose your projectile weapons, to get away from him if he gets too close and wait for the right moment to hit him, specifically when he gets tired.

I know there are 4 places where I can find Zombrex, can someone tell me where is the easier to find, I don't want to pay those bastards for
TK's
dose.

Blue Castle did a great job.

I don't even think it's noticeable that a new team took the reigns.
They really did an outstanding job and this is the way to do a sequel. Take all the awesome things from the first game, expand on it, add some new mechanics and of course add some co-op.

The only thing I miss is the camera from the first game. I would love to be able to take pictures of my co-op partner smashing zombies and then seeing that on my loading screens. The loading would be much more bearable if my pictures were the load screens like DR1.

If a survivor tried to charge me for my help they'd get a baseball bat to head. :lol
One particular group that charged was certainly worth it. I had them with me for the mailman psychopath and they put his ass down like pro assassins.

Just beat Overtime. Last guy wasn't too bad, the second to last was a real bitch though. I'd hate to imagine how bad it would be if I didn't have the gumption to grab the hand-to-hand magazine after failing the first time. That uppercut that takes you down to 1 HP no matter how much health you have is such bullshit.

I'm annoyed that so many of these achievements are "_____ all the _____ in the game." There's like a grillion unique items, it's too easy to miss something for one category, let alone 5.

Did you do the missions that reward you with Zombrex? IIRC, there's a total of five you can earn from those.

Also, the hidden Zombrex syringes tend to involve a bit of platforming, so look out for suspicious areas that look like they involve a lot of jumping. For example, check out the second floor of the BBQ place in the Food Court and see if you notice something odd with the lighting fixtures. :D

The load times are pretty awful...I forgot about the photos during load screens in DR1.

Besides that, I don't really miss the camera. I find it difficult to spray paint the Zombrex posters without being swarmed by zombies, so taking photos would be too stressful for me.

Let's see:
one from the pharmacist, one from the paramedic, one from the fat guy, one from the mailman, and... and.....
what's the other one?

There's an unlisted mission on day 3 if you saved Sven (it starts around 9PM, IIRC). He requests some vodka to make a disinfectant. If you get him what he wants, he'll give you a dose.

Does anyone know what the patch is supposed to fix? I hate placebo effects!

I noticed that the Title Screen is just the logo, which then fades into the Fortune City Globe. That's it.

It just goes to show that nothing in this game is as useless as you might think it is.

Also, I'm quite positive that using the Raging Beast ("Goblin" mask+battery) for the first time is this game's crowning achievement. I could not stop laughing for minutes while the PP kept tallying.

Quick Question:

I really like the skill moves so far, but does the
Disembowel and Face Crusher moves
make a return?

Nope. Chuck has his own pretty devastating moves though. How far along are you?

most of those carry over through replays though :)

Fuck this crying bride bitch.

Give her an SMG.

Having trouble with any survivors? Give them an SMG! Unless they are carrying or need to carry something.

Still can't corral in your survivors? Get the Leadership Mag from the One Duck Casino when you rescue Sven. Or... go immediately grab it before you find Zombrex for Katey first thing.

Just got to the singer chick who wants me to dress up. Any ideas on nearby tuxedo locations?

Go to the shopping mall next door and find Modern something or other. Tuxedo and dress shoes right there.

I could've taken the tiger back to the safe house?

Yes.

The Haymaker was the last move I got.

So far I've not got Disembowel at all. But
Chuck has a move called "Smash" which is similar to the Face Smasher but isn't as dramatic. Similarly, there's one I just unlocked called HANDS OFF where Chuck grabs a zombie by both arms, kicks against their back and their body goes flying while Chuck is still holding their two arms.
:lol

Also, in regards to the final two skills: -

Apparently there's "Power Bomb", which my guide describes as being "extremely fatal" and then the ability to pick up Zombies themselves and toss them around and such.

I've gotten Power Bomb. You stand over a still alive zombie on the floor, pick them up by their legs, hold them over your head, and then slam them to the ground. Kind of a bitch to get in the right position and you don't get any more PP than the one where you rip their arms off so I've ignored it mostly.

Any quick and easy way to beat Slappy? I'm saved in the Yucatan and the mission is really close to expiring.

jump kick, then attack him with a spiked bat (or something similar) when he's stunned, roll away when he shoots fire, he'll do his spinning fire move, when he's done he'll be dizzy, jump kick him again, rinse repeat, you can kill him in about 3 min.

Use water gun, jump doublekick or jump defiler-attack, repeat till dead.
