Then Chuck heads back to the bike, gives Katey her bag and drives away. All cases had to have been completed, Katey has to be given her Zombrex, and the bike has to be done to achieve this ending.

Dead Rising 2[]

Template:Navbar

Ending PP Bonus Description Video
S 100,000 PP[2] Method: Chuck completes all cases and saves TK with Zombrex (TK is Infected). This will unlock the Overtime Mode.

After withholding the firebombing, Chuck lands on the rooftop of the safe house, but heads back into the safe house to collect Katey and Stacey. Inside the safe house, both Katey and Stacey are nowhere to be found. Chuck picks up Katey's dropped backpack, and stands there silently with it in his hands as the game seemingly ends.

This leads to Overtime Mode.

A 75,000 PP[3]

Method: Chuck completes all cases, but does not give TK Zombrex.

After withholding the firebombing, Chuck lands on the Safe House with the helicopter and finds Stacey and Katey, but Katey drops her backpack. Chuck goes to retrieve it, but just as he is about to pick it up, the zombified TK grabs his arm and forces him into the elevator full of zombies. Chuck throws the backpack to Stacey, shouts for the the chopper to lift off, and for Stacey to take care of Katey. As the chopper lifts off, the scene transitions briefly back to the elevator. Chuck is floored by the zombies, while the elevator doors close. Inside, Chuck is seen holding TK off before the screen fades.

The closing text states: Unable to effectively deal with the Fortune City outbreak, the U.S. Government dispatched a squadron of bombers to level Fortune City, erasing all traces of life, both alive and undead. A convoy of civilian media choppers managed to rescue the Safe House survivors shortly before the bombing. Thanks to the evidence and testimony presented by Stacey Forsythe, Chuck Greene was cleared of all charges against him, and lauded as a hero for exposing the Phenotrans conspiracy. Chuck Greene the man, however, was never heard from again. Whether he succumbed to zombies, was killed in the subsequent fire bombing, or somehow managed to escape is unknown. The Fortune City outbreak came in time to be known itself as "Fortune's End". Despite the controversy, the price of Phenotrans shares continued to rise...

B 50,000 PP Method 1: Chuck fails a case after Case 6-1: Help Arrives that allows play to continue, and the time until the firebomb runs out.

Method 2: Chuck fails to catch or defeat Sullivan during The Facts before the time until the firebomb runs out.

A cutscene shows firebombs being dropped upon Fortune City as scheduled, wiping out any remaining survivors and containing the virus. After the scene, a text is shown, saying: Unable to effectively deal with the Fortune City outbreak, the U.S. Government dispatched a squadron of bombers to level Fortune City, erasing all traces of life, both alive and undead. There is no record of the shelter dwellers having made it out of the city alive. Whether they succumbed to zombie attack or were incinerated in the subsequent firebombing is unknown.

C 25,000 PP[4] Method: Chuck fails the story (before Case 6-1: Help Arrives) but saves Katey with Zombrex and is inside the Safe House when the military arrive.

Chuck returns to the bunker and he and Stacey hear gunshots and screams. Chuck goes to investigate, but gets shot twice in the chest (by an unseen assailant, most likely Sullivan making his escape) and the screen fades to black. An epilogue reads that the military rescue of Fortune City was considered a failure and it is not known whether anyone survived as the city was firebombed.

NOTE: Chuck MUST fail the story before Case 6-1: Help Arrives. Failure after that case will result in Ending B (if Katey is alive, or F is she is dead and Chuck is in the Safe House).

D 10,000 PP[5] Method: The only requirement for this ending is for Chuck to be outside the Safe House when the military arrive.

Chuck awakens in the back of a military truck. The soldiers express their disdain at not being allowed to kill Chuck there and then, for they believe he is responsible for the outbreak. Suddenly, they encounter something unexpected amidst the mysterious green gas and the screen fades to black. A message states that Fortune City was subsequently firebombed, eliminating any traces of life, while the outbreak was remembered as the, "Greene Outbreak".

NOTE: Chuck MUST be outside the Safe House when the military arrive to obtain this ending. It literally does not matter what else happens in the game as long as Chuck is outside of the Safe House when the 72 Hours are up.

The closing text states: The attempted military rescue of the survivors of the Fortune City outbreak was considered a failure. The military was unprepared to deal with what they found. There is no record of any shelter dwellers having made it out of the city alive. Chuck Greene was reportedly captured by the military early in the operation, but no proof of this was ever found. The incident came to be known as the "Greene Outbreak".

With closing credits
F 5,000 PP[6] Method: Chuck does not manage to save Katey with Zombrex, thus failing all/any remaining cases and is still inside the Safe House when the military arrive

Chuck stands inside the Safe House holding Katey's backpack. Stacey tells him not to blame himself for Katey's death, and that they need to get going. Chuck however, does not respond, instead he just stares blankly at the backpack. Suddenly, some zombies force their way into the room, and it appears someone has breached the Safe House. Stacey backs off, but Chuck does nothing to prevent the zombies from dragging him to the floor and eating him alive, while Stacey watches in horror, soon to be their next victim.

The closing text states: The military rescue mission was unable to find any living survivors of the Fortune City Outbreak. The incident came to be known as the "Greene Outbreak".

NOTE: Regardless of whether Chuck has kept Katey alive with Zombrex or not, being outside the Safe House when the military arrive will result in Ending D.

Alternate Ending F: Chuck fails Overtime by not collecting all requested items/not reaching the Arena in time. Therefore Chuck must complete all case files in order to unlock Overtime.

If going by the alternate method, a cutscene will show TK declaring that Chuck "had other things to do with his busy schedule" and laughs as he lowers Katey and Stacey into the zombies. A final shot shows the rope they are tied to shaking violently as the zombies eat them alive.

Case West[]

Template:Navbar Case West only has two endings. Ending A and when Chuck and Frank run out of time on a case.[7][8]

Ending PP Bonus Description Video
A 75,000[9]

After Frank and Chuck defeat Harjit, he tries to regain his balance on a large glass tube containing Queens and accidentally smashes through it, resulting in being stung to death by the Queens.

Frank and Chuck learn from Marian that she manage to cure herself of the zombie infection and that a cure actually exists. Phenotrans, however, refuses to release it to the general people, believing them to be not worthy. She activates the facility's self-destruct mechanism and proceeds to leave with Isabela in her arms. Chuck tries to stay behind and frantically search for the cure, but Frank convinces him to get out just in time.

Back on the cliff where they started, Chuck and Frank look at the destroyed facility. Chuck ponders on the difference a cure could make to the world, but Frank says it could have been a lie, and they at least have the proof to clear Chuck's name. Chuck states that nobody would take their word about Phenotrans' plans. Frank's watch beeps, indicating his next Zombrex dose is due, but he remembers throwing it away in the facility. He looks as if he is ready to accept his fate when Chuck, having picked the Zombrex dose back up hands it over to him, reasoning that the world needs Frank West.

Out of time
Frank and Chuck are captured by soldiers
