Down to the Warehouse[]
Once Jeff and Natalie Meyer have been reunited and then safely escorted to the Security Room (See: Meyer Reunion), return to the Rooftop through the air duct.
Enter the elevator, which is located in the right corner of the roof.
The elevator brings Frank down to the Warehouse.
There is a lead pipe near the elevators, which respawns when Frank leaves and returns to the warehouse. The pipe is one of the best early melee weapons in Dead Rising.
Follow the maze of large shelves to the gray corridor, which leads to the mall section Paradise Plaza.[1]
Open the Cardboard Boxes[]
A Cardboard Box
- Further information: Cardboard Box
As Frank travels through the warehouse, he can open the five cardboard boxes. Cardboard boxes, which can be found in locations such as store storage, warehouse and construction areas, contain useful items, including food and weapons. Frank can open a cardboard box by either throwing the box at a solid object, such as a wall, or breaking it with a weapon. Garbage cans also contain useful items and are opened the same way.[2]

 As Frank rounds the corner of the hallway to Paradise Plaza, Jessie McCarney surprises Frank and sprains her ankle. Jessie reluctantly agrees to give Frank her handgun to find Brad in the Food Court, who is in trouble. The Food Court is between Al Fresca Plaza and Wonderland Plaza and is accessed by traveling through Leisure Park.[2] Frank: Zombies huh? Had a feeling you'd show up...
Jessie: Ahhhhhh! Frank: Ohhh...oh God! It's you! Look, don't sneak up on me. Jessie: Brad was attacked. I located him on the monitor. Oh!
Frank: It's probably just a sprain. Jessie: I've gotta help Brad... Or he's done for. Frank: Alright fine. Give me your gun. Come on. I'm the reason you just got hurt. Let me help. Jessie: No! I can't let a civilian do that. That's against regulations. Frank: Yeah, well, I don't think they had zombie-infested malls in mind when they wrote those regulations kid. Jessie: Do you know how to use this? Frank: Kinda. I've covered wars, you know? Frank: Look, after I'm through helping you... You and I are going to have a nice little chat.[3] | |
Case 1-1 expires[]
On Day 1, September 19, 5:00pm, The Queen cutscene begins in the warehouse. After 5:00 pm:
- Case 1-1 is lost forever.
- On the pause menu screen, Frank cannot access the Case File.
- There is no "The Truth Has Vanished Into The Darkness" notice, Frank simply never gets a case.
- If Frank travels to the Food Court, it is full of zombies, and the Case 1-2: Backup for Brad cutscene never starts.
Case Panels[]
- Further information: Cases
Cases are the series of events that lead Frank West to the truth behind the zombie outbreak in Willamette. When Frank finds out about a Case, the Case File Screen appears. The Case Panels inside the Case File Screen list important information, such as if the case is pending or engaged, if it's been solved, or if it's expired. You can access the Case File Screen at any time by pressing 
and then selecting "Case File" from the menu.[2]
Entrance to Paradise Plaza[]
After the Case 1-1 cutscene, Frank is in front of the exit door to Paradise Plaza. Change from the handgun Jessie gave Frank, to a melee weapon (such as the lead pipe, described above) and open the door.
Scoop Cues and Annoying Otis[]
- Further information: Transceiver
When janitor Otis Washington has important information on a Scoop, he uses the Transceiver he gave Frank to get in touch with him. A Scoop Cue is information detailing events and whereabouts of other Survivors. As with cases, Scoops are time based. A time gauge appears along the top right side of the screen when a Scoop is uncovered.[2]
Otis can be cantankerous and doesn't take lightly to being interrupted when calling Frank. In order to hear him out, Frank has to refrain from using a weapon during a call. If Frank does cause on interruption, Otis typically rings him back a few moments later and beginnings all over again.[2]
Cut From the Same Cloth Scoop[]
Cut From the Same Cloth Scoop
| |
At 2 pm Otis calls Frank on the transceiver to inform Frank of another photographer (Kent Swanson) inside the mall. Ken is located upstairs on the second floor of Paradise Plaza in or near Colombian Roastmasters (P202). This is Frank's first Scoop. It is suggested this scoop be completed before traveling to do Case 1-2: Backup for Brad.
