If, like me, you screwed up and didn't get Lenny or just didn't worry about this achievement until later in the game, you can get it with this method too! Bear in mind this is harder then the method listed in the OP. That is by FAR the easiest method. This is simply an alternate method. The reason why this method is a lot harder is because of those snipers that show up at this time, and you have to go out of your way to kill them to make this painless.

 

First :: Case - One Hit Wonder :: Save Bibi and her THREE Survivor friends. This brings you to four survivors. Save at the restroom by her stage and make a dash for the entrance to the Strip via Royal Flush plaza or the front door of the Casino you're in.

 

Second :: The comedians in the strip that make you listen to their jokes make two more, for a total of 6. Head to the Atlantica.

 

Third :: Head thru Atlantica Casino and grab mermaid lady. She is #7.

 

Fourth :: Enter Palisades Mall via Atlantica Casino. Shut survivors you have in the maintainance room immediately to your left. Drop mermaid lady there too. Go rescue the emo kid (the one with the shotgun) from the Palisades Mall. He is #8! ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!

 

Final Steps :: Look, you're conveniently in the same place as the shortcut to Royal Flush Plaza. Take it to Royal Flush Plaza and turn them in. If you don't have the shortcut, bring them back via Atlantica Casino, to the Strip, to the Royal Flush. Or just kill them all. You unlock it as soon as you have 8 people in your party, rescued or not.

I think doing the case files you mentioned are very important, I didnt do them and ended up not getting the Welcome to the Family side mission, also didnt get the other one.

 

Also, you shouldn't save Vikki from Brandon, I tried this to see if I could get any clear slots for survivors but since Psychos count and the contestants side mission should still be there, you wont get another mission pop up, unless you kill some members of your team, or kill the contestant, which is harder with survivors with you as he aims for them instead of you.

 

I'll be trying this tomorrow or later again, this time doing the case files, although Im confused, people say Rebecca counts as a survivor so does that mean I have to kill her off to get this side mission to appear?

 

EDIT: I just retried, took an even easier route than the OP did, this way is glitch proof (eg. you do not need to worry about the Welcome to the Family not popping up).

 

1. Get Denyce - DO NOT save her yet.

2. Kill Ted and Snowflake, Denyce should be able to take it, heal her afterwards if needed.

3. Get Lenny.

4. Go to Safe house, making sure NONE of the survivors have the door icon over their heads when you enter, also make sure its 7am, or near 7am, you dont want to be going in too soon and them dying because you left them out too long, give Katey her zombrex.

5. Get the couple that are in the mall when you exit, one is straight in front of you, when other is in shop to your right.

6. Message "Lost" will pop up, go get Chad and his girl, talk to Chad first as the girl won't follow you until she sees him.

7. Message "Shortsighted" should pop up now, go get the old lady, carry her.

8. Now do the story cases 1-2 (once you talk to Rebecca in this one, the achievement will pop), then case 1-3, then case 1-4 as that lands you back to the safe house where you should be headed for the survivor PP points.

haven't done this yet and also didn't read every post to see if some1 mentioned, but you can do this easy without doing the tiger to get lenny. Just replace lenny with the two people destroying slot machines in the american casino. You may have to wait a few minutes for them to show up(It should take just under the right amount of time to get the rest of the survivors). I only missed this cheevo cuz the message about the casino goers popped right after i rescued all the others(damn my impatience =P).

Just attempted this now. I managed to get Welcome To The Family to pop up straight away by unlocking the Pawnshops straight after I picked up Lenny (Number 6) from Yucatan.

 

I sugest trying that, then back tracking from there to Palisades to get the last two. This is all before going to see Rebecca at the Hotel.

I don't know if it was just coincidence (perhaps it was just the right time for the call about that case), but this worked for me as well. I had already finished 1-3 though, so I ran to the pawn shop at Platinum Strip, and as soon as the "ding dong" sound of me walking out finished, I got the call for Welcome to the Family.

 

Maybe that robber standing at the gate to the pawn shop counts as a survivor or something? :confused:

 

EDIT: Okay, well I can say that the dude that dies in the cutscene for Meet the Contestants isn't being counted as a survivor against the max of 8. I'm on my way back to the safe house with 8 people now and I just got the message for Meet the Contestants.

id like to start by saying, great guide, its much appreciated... but id like to make a suggestion that will help with PP earned for all these survivors, and why not take advantage of it...

 

there are some mags that i think might be assessable, and very useful to use during the venture for this achievement:

 

Leadership - Survivors are much more effective in Chuck's party.

(\/can be found here\/)

Silver Strip

One Little Duck Bingo. N102 - Entertainment

 

Rescue - Get 25% PP boost from survivor activities.

(\/can be found here\/)

Fortune City Arena

First Floor

Security Room

Just to help elaborate on the Leadership magazine, any survivor who would otherwise need to be carried or helped to walk, will walk on their own. Examples include Esther, Rebecca after you save her from the military, and the guy from the Shell Shocked mission.

now at 7 i went to rebbeca and she gave me the achieve (glad she counts)

 

 

 

 

Wish i had noticed this, would have saved me 20 minutes looking for lenny who wasn't showing up... Long story short, I ended up getting this with Rebecca as my 8th. so for any1 who hasn't noticed REBECCA COUNTS.

tried the top method with someone else twice didn't get welcome to the family pop up, we also had ester bug out when we went into the security room while the other person was holding her, she teleported back to her start location.

 

not entirely sure what we did wrong, but im annoyed we failed to get it, only thing i can think of is a time element maybe did the rebecca thing too early and since she was up they didn't spawn.

 

a later go we went for the 4 nerds the 2 casino junkies and that was it no other spawns happened i was expecting the 2 in the arena to show but that didn't happen. it hates me i understand that now :)

im gonna try this method now, the other was giving me a headache with cases not spawning. im laos going ot try and see wether or not you can initially avoid denyce and first do ted/snowflake

 

edit: worked flawlessly. like i said i went and did snowflake/ted first, brought back lenny with me, saved denyce and returned to the safe room with only snowflake (who ALWAYS is rescued when you enter the safe room, even if hes on hte other side of the mall). then did the black couple/ the "lost" quest and esther totalling 7 people, talked to rebecca in 2-1 and it popped. loads of time spare at every bit.

do we know what the max. amount of time a survivor will wait if you tell them too? is it safe to leave them somewhere safe and come back and get them later? if that is the case you can just keep stacking people outside of the entrance to the safehouse (behind two sets of doors that you can close) and then pick them all back up and enter...

Alright guys I just got this. And let me explain how I did it. Most of it I used from the startpost but there are a few issues with that guide.

 

1.

I saved Denyce, got the Zombrex, killed Ted, tamed Snowflake and then gave Katey Zombrex. Your game gets saved.

2.

I grabbed LaShawndra and Gordon.

3.

Headed out to the strip, did the Pawn Shop mission and went for Chad. He followed me and I grabbed Doris.

4.

By now I got the call for Esther. I pointed my survivors in a shop near the safehouse and went to get her. I dropped Esther off at the safehouse (not the others!).

5.

By now I did get the call 'Welcome to the family' and headed to Shanks via the Hot Excitorama shop on the strip.

6.

After that I headed to Yucatan and grabbed Lenny.

7.

Headed to the hotel for case 1:2.

8.

Achievement unlocked, apparantly Cassandra counts.

9.

Then I headed to the Americana casino for the lushious lady (drunk chick), carried her and the other 7 survivors to the safehouse.

 

Now why did I do it this way? I didn't get the call in the first try for 'Welcome to the family' but I did get lushious lady.

That's why I dropped off Esther at my second attempt. But apparantly Cassandra counted and unlocked the achievement for me. But I still escorted 8 to the safe house including the drunk chick.

 

Hope this helps!

did anyone else get a moronic Lenny???

 

 

this isn't pertaining to the achievement, as i already unlocked it, but i am wanting to take all 8 back to the safe house, as i would love the PP, i need Lenny for the 50 survivors, and im using the +25% PP for survivor related earnings, and well i did just save him, so id like to get him to the safe house. my problem with him is, he seems to act like a DR1 survivor, hahaha. i barely have time to make it back to the safe house, so im in a bit of a rush. i did notice that when i go up to him, the action button prompts me to talk to him which does nothing when i try it, so he may have glitched, as he just stand in one place getting attacked by zeds, but doesnt seem to take damage from them, but i have left the area, so now he has started to take damage... im sure by the time someone reads this i will already have gone far away from him, and may or may not be able to make it back to grab him after i drop off these survivors.

 

like i said, this doesn't really pertain to the achievement on subject, and im glad the achievement is for having the 8 in your party at one time rather than actually delivering 8 at once.

 

EDIT: haha, nice, well as i was typing this original post, i accidentally unpaused my game, and i got a "the truth has vanished" message, so i will edit this message as to whether the Lenny is fixed or not, hahaha... also, the two mags i mentioned in my previous post work great, you have to do case 1:2 to get access to the rescue mag, but it works out if you have to wait for the welcome to the family to pop, also, with the leadership mag the team is much more resilient, and take nearly no damage, and as someone previously stated, the survivors that are too week to walk (with exception of the mermaid lady im sure, although that's not till a ways later, which i might keep this mag to see if she can walk) can walk on thier own now, which can help with esther if you want, although i prefer to carry her, because like the OP said, zombies have a harder time messing with you when you are hauling a survivor

i did this but slightly different

 

saved denyce then went to snowflake then headed back to katey but

only took snowflake in (lt + Y at the back wall and snowflake should get the door icon any way)

 

then got the next 2 then got the call for chad and doris putting me at 5

 

while getting doris and chad got the call for esther went to get her then went to larry

 

now at 7 i went to rebbeca and she gave me the achieve (glad she counts)

 

allso to help i gave them weapons

 

they accept hand guns found them on the cops

 

 

 

this way works perfect without a doubt..i dont see how anyone could mess up doin it this way

Does addressing the Pawn Shop message make a difference? Because for me it did when more or less following the first method. I got the Welcome to the Family message straight after I left the Pawn Shop (aka when it had been set up).

for me it didnt make a difference.i went to the pawnshop and i guess i was too early so i just went ahead and met up with rebecca since i already had the 7 survivors with me (rebecca counts as a survivor).as soon as she joined the cheevo popped.after i had everything done the Welcome To The Family scoop finally came up but i didnt need it anymore for the 8 people cheevo...its a matter of trial and error and DONT FORGET TO SAVE when you can.the good thing is that you can still keep going after you are done with the 8 survivors and get all the survivors if you are going for the Data Miner or The Hero Of Fortune City cheevos or anything else you are trying to complete

I think I got those first 3 parts (1-1, 1-2, 1-3) of Case 1 out of the way before i did that so Rebecca no longer counted. But my main point anyway is that I believe the Pawn Shop thing may still be a factor when it comes to the Welcome To The Family message. Perhaps the looter/Pawn Shop owner counts as some kind of a survivor (though obviously he isn't) til you talk to him.

it did for me... i thought it would pop when i entered the silver strip or whatever, and when it didn't, i figured it might when i completed that side mission, and it did...

 

i think its all down to timing (i know that sounds obvious, hahaha)

Is that all that magazine does?
