How Do You Beat Jo the Cop in Dead Rising 1?

You'll fight Jo in a tight store full of things to get stuck on and clothing displays that make simply getting around a little awkward. To make matters worse, Jo will chase you around the store, getting close with her taser to stun you. If she manages to tase you, Frank will be immobile for a little while and Jo may follow up with a strong stomp attack. You'll need to make sure you're on the move at all times, or baiting her into a stun attack so she stands still and you can get away to land an attack of your own.

Watch our for her bludgeon, which she'll swing in front of her if Frank is close. At far range, Jo will swap to her handgun. It doesn't deal a lot of damage, but is another way for her to stun you. Select attacks can also be applied to the Survivors in the store, so don't let them die.

On your end, we recommend bringing your own assortment of guns to the fight. This way, you can bait Jo into standing still with her taser and then get a bit of space between you two so you can land some shots of your own. Since the fight takes place in Wonderland Plaza, a great melee weapon to have would be the Mini Chainsaw that belonged to Adam the Clown. It respawns every time you enter the area in the roller coaster station. It can kill Jo in just a few hits.
