  • How to unlock Big Spender

    After starting the single player game, make a save, quit and start playing some multiplayer. Money gained in multiplayer can be transferred to an existing single player save file, so while you're getting your multiplayer achievements, you'll be working this achievement as well.

    Chances are you're not completely done with this after your multiplayer madness, so I'll list the quickest and unfortunately also the most boring method.

    Research your gambling skills by gathering all 3 magazines:

    • Ragazines in Royal Flush Plaza
    • Stan's Large Print Books and Magazines in Palisades Mall 2nd floor
    • Shamrock Casino on the Silver Strip behind the bar

    Keep your 3 magazines in your inventory and make your way to the big pink slot machine in Slot Ranch Casino. Push the 1000$ button, wack a zombie while you wait, and you should be raking in money fairly fast.

    Once you have your 6 Million, be sure to spend some cash on various items around the shops.

    Things you need to buy/do for other achievements:

    • Buy SUV Keys for 2 million at the Silver Strip pawnshop
    • Spend approx. 1 million at the fortune teller at the Silver Strip to obtain a hidden combo card

    You can spend the rest as you see fit.

  • Easiest way I know of to get the cash is to play poker with the three survivors and when you win you get $1million
  • pick up the gambling magazines at ragazines (royal flush plaza second floor) and stan's large print books and magazines (palisades plaza second floor) and play the giant slots at the slot ranch casino. this will increase your chance of winning on these slots dramatically and will increase the amount you win from regular slots quite a bit.
  • The best way i found to do it, which alot of people do. It's VERY time consuming. and annoying. but you get the 3 'Gambling' Magazines (Look it up on the internet, im not sure of the exact locations) and you go to the Slot Ranch casino. You'll find some big pink slot machine game where you can bet '$100' or '$1,000' Just bet the 1,000 every time. and every so often you should win big money. Then aftre i had money, i went and got all the vehicles. -SUV ($2,000,000) -Chopper ($1,000,000) -Sports Car ($500,000) and then bought the Metal Boots ($2,000,000) by then i just had it. you should have it cause of the dang slot machine lol
  • Playing TIR gets you around 60k per game even if you lose If you don't wanna grind slot machines that is
  • sorry, also, there is one more magazine at the back of the shamrock casino, the one containing the SUV further helping your gambling
  • I cant play TIR I can never find matches,then I found one and it disconnected.does any one else have this problem?
  • @hero gamer yea TIR is a bitch a lot of the time for me. 80% of the time I get lost connection to host. good thing is i suppose whatever matches you've completed up to the d/c you keep the money. even if it might only be 10k :/
  • I enjoy TIR to much for some reason, nothing is more satisfying than grinding a zombie up and re-juicing him into a giant face for money. XD Although I would enjoy not having to lose cc every now and then but so far I've had fairly stable connections :)
  • does it have to be in one playthrough?
  • My buddy has this for the ps3 and he showed me using the "hacker" flashlight plus computer you get lots of money if you use this on the slots and atm. I only watched for a few mins but the atm in one use put out $10,000. i sent the game back to gamefly so i cant see if it works for xbox. But im sure this could work.
  • yea that works with the hacker on every format :) And i got 2 mil like this easy i got all three gambling magazines; Gambling Magazine 1: Ragazines – Second floor in Royal Flush Plaza Gambling Magazine 2: Stan’s Large Print Books and Magazines – Second floor in Palisades Mall Gambling Magazine 3: Shamrock Casino – Silver Strip took about 20 mins to get 2 mil but it can vary =]
  • Could someone help me, does all your money from case 0 transfer over? or do you start again, cause i have like 1mil in case 0
  • Ok now what do i buy with 6mill to get the achievement??? Any know the things to buy, because all i know what to buy is -SUV -Knight Boots -The vehicle at the shopping plaza. Anything Else?
  • The giant slot machine in was pretty easy with the 3 gambling books. The rewards are as follows for that machine if you use max bet. 1 Bar - 1k 2 Bars - 2k 3 Bars - 5k Cherry - 10k 7 - 25k Diamond - 50k $ - 100k Heart = Wild
  • Does the $6 million have to be spent in one play thru? Or is it a cumulative?
  • its cumulative pause the game go to stats it will tell you how much money you have spent
  • nice one. thanks
  • anyone wana boost in TIR online to get "TK's favourite"
  • I'm up for boosting. GT: LedForeigner
  • The magazines have no impact on the big slot machine. The prize is already at a set number.
  • Dead Rising Wiki also has another, more reliable method. (Requires Co-op) Have a friend grab both Bargaining Magazines (I don't know the locations, sorry) and save (offline). Have him join your game and then drop both magazines. He quits without saving and then joins again and drops the magazines again until you're full. (At least 11 inventory slots are required for you to gain money.) Once you have 11 or 12 of these, go to a Pawn Shop and buy whatever you like. You should get 120 or 140% off the price of the item, so that you actually gain 20-40% of the item's price. I think the Knight Boots are the priciest item, so they might be fastest, but you could also buy lots of LMGs and let your friend kill zombies endlessly as a thank you lol.
  • if anyone wants to do the co op way my GT is mission664 send a message so i know what its for
  • Where is the helicopter at?!?!
  • TIR would be the easiest way even if you lose like someone said you're almost guarenteed to get 60k.
  • Yeah getting TIR groups though is a pain the slot seems more reliable if you cant do the bargaining exploit.
  • boots 2 mil roadster 0.5 mil SUV 2mil Chopper 1mil fortune teller 1mil that is 6.5 mil right there using the books to reduce the costs doesnt get you ANY closer to this achievment since the cheevo is to SPEND 6 million.
  • @27 It helps get you the money to spend. Get rid of the books then spend the money and you should get it.
  • I swear front kicking that big pink slot machine made me win more, for a little while. I was going for a zombie, but it looked like he hit the machine, and "25PP" came out. Could just be luck, but I think I'll keep doing it (I only had time to win enough for the SUV so far). Also if zombies aren't bugging you too much, you might spin one of the smaller machines while the bigger one is spinning. I won a couple thousand from the machine to the left occasionally.
  • * 22 has it right. Using this method i got so much money (at level 50 i had 12 slots). I bought 16 Zombrex doses. Knight boots for 2. Million Red SUV Hummer for 2 million. Chopper for one million Sports car for 500,000. 1 million to the fortune teller machine for a card. The two books are found ontop of the Hamburger feifdom roof in food court. The other is on the roof of americana casino. After you buy what you want drop all books and keep buying the SUV keys. Boom achievement. I had 10 million left after buying everything.
  • continued by roof i mean above you. Climb ontop of two vending machines to get ontop of Hamburger Feifdom. Go to BBQ Shack in Americana. Go upstairs and look for some light fixtures to jump on to. follow them to a ledge that has a dose of Zombrex, toy bunny, and the other barganing magazine. This is legit guys.
