How to save all 54 survivors in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

It may seem like you can’t save everyone in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster — and that’s true — but you can save at least 50 of the survivors in the Willamette mall to earn the Saint achievement/trophy if you know the right route to take through the mall’s plazas. If you want to rescue enough survivors to unlock the Saint achievement in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, then this guide will show you exactly where to find everyone with enough time to spare.

Day 1 survivor locations

The first day has 11 survivors that can be rescued throughout the mall. You will encounter most of them as you progress through the initial set of Case Files. The only thing you need to do besides rescuing everyone listed below is start the “Cut From the Same Cloth” Scoop to start Kent’s photography questline. The final encounter with Kent includes a missable survivor on day three.
