STARTING TIPS. (Boss spoilers)
1) As soon as you enter the main mall after going through the air ducts. Try your best to rush to NORTH PLAZA. Then proceed to try and find the gun store and stock up as much as you can! If you get there early enough the boss will not spawn and you can easily take guns for early game boss battles/surviving.

2) PP Locations i've remembered as i've played. FOOD COURT: Shoot the plates on the wall with the pistol that Brad gives you.

AL FRESCA PLAZA: Gym, Destroy all the punching bags (With any weapon) And you'll get a lot of PP. Also run on all the treadmills.

3) WEAPON SPAWN: Katana over the wall on the second floor of the PARADISE PLAZA. In the food store, 'Colombian Roastmasters' Which the Katana will be on the balcony.

4) SCOOP Tip: When you are doing the barricade A-B Scoop. Make sure you don't use a sledgehammer to fight Burt unless you swing it by holding the action button. You'll insta-kill him. (I just made this mistake rip Burt)

N5: MAKE QUICKSTEP WHENEVER YOU CAN OR KEEP A SKATEBOARD ON YOU OK

N6: WEAPON SPAWN: Uzi. Jump onto the right balcony as you go up the stairs in PARADISE PLAZA and follow it around. (Check image)










N7: After defeating Adam The Clown. Make sure you activate the ride again for a survivor. Helping him will get you a wonderful shortcut.

N8: BOSS/SURVIVOR TIP: 'Long Haired Punk' After defeating Paul, you can put the fire out that's on him with the fire extinguisher. Saving him which will make him a survivor.

N9: ZOMBIE GENOCIDE ACHIEVEMENT: For a simple but long way to get it. Head straight to the underground parking and just run zombies over. Bring mini chainsaws/3 Books to make them more durable and food! Drive drive drive them all over. Your car/truck will break, find a new pne and repeat until it unlocks! I think it took me around 6 hours as a kid.

N10: PP Location: CHILD'S PLAY: PARADISE PLAZA. Punch the head of the large servbot to line the eyes up with the mouth for a PP BONUS.

N11: LAST BOSS: Only lil tip for the last boss as i think it's the only hard one. For the tank, just spam shoot the front lights. Shoot the helicopters, if you are fast he won't fire 4 rockets but just shoot them if he does. A turret will appear on the tank aiming at you. Fire at it enough and it will avoid the tank firing at you. SECOND PART: Best way for me is to spam jump kick. Don't stand exactly on top of the tank where the cannon is, just stand below it on the base? He will hop down to where you are. Jump kick him then he will jump back up. Repeat this and you'll kill him without getting hit yourself.

(Will be adding a lot more as i go)

The first pointer is definitely useful if you're having some issues with early game psychopaths, including Cletus himself!

Hidden Uzis in every section of the map.

Paradise is shown above

Food court is on the chef display entrance at Chris' Fine Foods

Wonderland has it ontop of a lego house, red roof. Need a zombie to hop up (Sorry I can't be more descriptive)
[Wonderland bonus, when heading to the Northern Plaza, there is a glass display with an orange juice on the right]

The Park's is in an tree by the garage entrance and can be picked up after you throw an item to knock it down

Al Fresca has it in the fountain

The basement has it in a room where SPOILER: Brad died near the ending The directions there are (If entering from the garage entrance) Right>Left>Right and it's behind the barrel on the left of the room

Entrance plaza has it by the escalators in a palm tree (Sorry, I don't get this one since I'm not certain how to get it)

for the last fight, it's easier if you get him on the turret of the tank and you stand below him and spam doublelariat, i killed him in about 30 seconds this way. he usually can't land a hit on you

Go to the toystore and pick up the toysword keeping it in your inventory at night will give you a makeshift flashlight.
