Dead Rising 1: All Cases and Scoops

What are all Cases and Scoops in Dead Rising 1? Within the three days you'll spend exploring Willamette Parkview Mall, lots of different missions will become available, some of which are critical to the story and others entirely optional. This Dead Rising 1 guide will reveal all Cases and Scoops, and explain how they work and all the differences between them. This guide covers both the original game and the new Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.

What Are All Cases and Scoops in Dead Rising 1?

Throughout the campaign of Dead Rising 1, you'll be given two different types of missions: Cases and Scoops. To follow the main story of the game, you have to complete every Case in numerical order as they become available. You will have free time in-between some of these Cases, and during those periods, you can finish Scoops, which act as side quests. If you finish Scoops, you'll rescue Survivors and they'll leave the mall with you once the rescue helicopter arrives. You will be alerted to a Scoop by Otis, who calls you on the radio. He will tell you where the Scoop takes place alongside what he saw on the CCTV cameras in the Security Room.

There are 8 Cases in the game overall, which are split up into 20 main missions. There are then 26 Scoops, which only become available for a limited time at a select point across the three days you'll spend in the mall. Because of the time mechanic the game uses, every Case and Scoop has the potential to be missable. Clicking on any of the links below will take you to a Walkthrough page for that particular Case or Scoop.
