Follow Dick Jones to the pawnshop and speak to him[]
Follow Dick up the street to his pawnshop.

Dick: Thanks for keeping me safe. I own this pawnshop. I know you helped me out but I can't just give things away for free. Maybe I'll give you a good deal.
Dick: Okay, lets go.
Thanks for getting me out of that mess. Is there anything you need from my store? |
In Still Creek Pawnshop[]
There are 8 items for sale in the Still Creek Pawnshop. Chuck should buy the wheel now. If Chuck does not yet have enough money to buy the wheel, see the next section below.
- The wheel is essential for successfully completing the game
- Zombrex is essential if Chuck wants to rescue Sharon Riesinger, Nikki Valentino, and Tia Hernandaz and be able to also give Katey her dose from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
If you want to complete the game and rescue all survivors, Save money and only buy the wheel then the Zombrex.

Drill Bucket | $2,500 | ||
Assault Rifle | $1,000 | ||
Wheel | $5,000 | ||

Not enough money to buy the wheel[]
Chuck begins the game with $2000. If Chuck does not have enough money to purchase the $5,000 wheel yet, walk across the street to the Still Creek Casino.
Outside the casino doors is $300 on the ground.
Chuck can acquire around $10,200 every trip into Still Creek Casino, which is the fastest way to make money.
Play the Barnyard Bonanza clusters 5 times each (each play costs $100) for 5 guaranteed wins (pays out $300; total net gain of $1000 per cluster). This does not work on the Trouble With Turkeys slot machines, and Chuck will lose your money if he plays them.
After playing those slot machines, break the slot machines, cash registers, and ATMs.
Keep in mind that all of the money inside and outside respawns (reappears again) when there is a load screen with a picture. So for example, if Chuck were to return to the safe house, which has a load screen with a picture, then return to the Casino, all of the money and items would have returned.
Purchase the wheel and return to the safe house[]
After purchasing the wheel return to the safe house. On the way Chuck can pickup the gas canister which is just outside of Brockett Gas Station.
If necessary, returning to the pawnshop | Returning to the pawnshop | Returning to the pawnshop |

Gasoline Canister[]
The Gasoline Canister is the easiest bike part to acquire. Chuck can acquire it as he is carrying the wheel back to the Brockett Gas Station safe house. It is in front of the Brockett Gas Station safe house, near a gas pump.
Checking the Bike part screen[]
You can check the bike part screen to see Chuck's progress thus far.
Engine[]
Sub-case name: Treasure in the Alley

Travel through the concession stand.
Travel through the movie theater itself.
On the right side is a door. When Chuck opens the door he unlocks it, satisfying one portion of the Lockmith achievement.
Turn to the right.
Half way down the alley way is the engine. Pick it up and return to the Brockett Gas Station safe house. Remember that all items except for the gas canister must be carried with two hands, and Chuck drops the item if he attempts to switch to another item in his inventory.

Handle bars[]
The handle bars are the most difficult item to acquire, as the broadsword must be acquired before the handle bars can be secured and the broadsword is in a very remote location. The broadsword is above the entrance to Momma's Diner and in Bob's Fish 'n Hunt which can only be accessed the first time through the roof.

Archie: It totally is! Dude, can you help us out with these nasty zombies?
Chuck: Hey, I'm trying to fix up my bike and I need a handle bar. Think I could have the one you got there?
Jason: This thing makes a killer weapon, bro. I'm gonna need a better weapon if I'm going to give this up.
