Dead Rising 2: Off the Record All Bosses NG Coop Route

If something isn't mentioned it's probably the exact same as solo route.

!!!WARNINGS!!!

DO NOT KILL A BOSS WHILE IT IS IN ANY SORT OF GRAB ATTACK INVOLVING A PLAYER IT WILL CAUSE A DESYNC

DO NOT LOAD A CHECKPOINT UNLESS YOU BOTH DIED IT WILL CAUSE A DESYNC

TRY NOT TO TRIGGER A CUTSCENE WHILE A PLAYER NEEDS TO BE REVIVED I BELIEVE IT CAUSES A DESYNC

DO NOT SPAM START TO SKIP THE 7PM NIGHT CUTSCENE IT WILL BUG OUT AND BECOME UNSKIPPABLE

CLIENT PLAYER YOU DO NOT HAVE I FRAMES YOU WILL GET ASS FUCKED BY ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES YOU PLAY EXTREMELY CAUTIOUSLY

Less important warnings

With one book each you will have to grab boards way more often and it entirely depends on how well you avoid zombies so there's no times mentioned

It is very important to board carefully to avoid having to get boards a lot and lose time.

In Arena



Host:

	Jump over the divider and grab the key then grab the cutout PP bonus if you want

Client:

	Rush into Americana Vault destroy the drill with 2 shotgun shots then grab the money case and leave

	Throw the money case for the Host once in Royal Flush and heal if required also drop your shotgun if low for Food

	In Slot Ranch clear the drill, grab the money case, and continously dodge roll making sure not to get boxed in because you can still get meleed until the Host triggers Antoine





Antoine



Host:

	If Client is low on health when starting heal start attacking the boss otherwise

	Wait for the Client to switch off, Clear the Mercs behind with the Six Shooter and heal in the meantime

	The Six Shooter is your main source of damage so get 2-3 sword attacks in then get hit on purpose and shoot him twice in the back

	

Client:

	Throw the money case to the Host

	If low on health when starting heal and let the Host start otherwise

	Start attacking Antoine with your Laser Sword getting 2-3 hits in then waiting for Antoine to exit his animation where he holds up his pan

	Your shotgun will not do much damage so don't bother and save it for Slappy

	Once the mercs have been cleared and the Host heals up switch off and heal yourself

	

Once the Mercs have been cleared and the Host has healed just trade the boss between yourselves whenever one gets low until you beat him



Heal as needed then exit to Yucatan



Yucatan



Host:

	Grab LMG

	Clear 2 Mercs outside the vault

	Heal if needed

	Wait at Palisades Exit

	

Client:

	Clear out vault and grab money case as usual

	Heal if needed

	Go to Palisades

	

Slappy



Host:

	Fight Slappy basically as normal just don't use your LMG as it'll do very little when both players are shooting and the Client's shotgun will do more

	

Client:

	Use your laser sword when he's downed be extremely careful not to hit your partner

	Use shotgun when he's spinning



After Slappy Host gets one shotgun from the gun store Client gets two

Try not to shoot each other



After Carl

	Fight Big Earl

	Fight Deetz

	

You can trigger the teleport up to Deetz if one player is inside the bar making Painkiller

Painkiller is almost hard required unlike solo runs because Seymour takes so much less damage so the fight takes longer and can one shot the Client if they don't have it



Seymour is pretty standard just be really careful and Client especially drink your painkiller EARLY

Client if you are down 2 blocks drink that shit



After Seymour



Host:

	Grab Six Shooter

	

Client:

Case 7-1

Before Evan



Host:

	Buy Sports Car Key and Zombrex

	(Blambow is bugged in coop on Roger do not bother making it or buying it)

	Make Knife Gloves for Client while waiting for the teleport



Client:

	Almost certainly refresh boards here

	Grab Coffee Creamer for Quickstep later

	Wait at Royal Flush exit

	Jump OoB in the Strip to teleport to Evan

	

Evan



Host:

	Standard fight use the Six Shooter

	

Client:

After Evan



Host:

	Drop the Client the Knife Gloves you made

	Take the Bike and make a new Laser Sword by the pawn shop then wait by Atlantica

	Once in Atlantica just trigger Roger and Reed

	

Client:

	Drop your used Knife Gloves if you still have them and pick up the fresh ones

	Grab the clown car and drive it over to Atlantica you can hold accelerate on both controller and keyboard for double speed to somewhat catch up with the Host

	

Roger & Reed



Host:

	Fight Roger having some Six Shooter ammo left here will be massively helpful otherwise the better range of the Laser Sword will make it much easier to catch up to him

	If you somehow kill Roger before Reed go help kill Reed

	

Client:

	Standard Reed just this time with Knife Gloves get 2 swings then back off

	Help kill Roger when Reed dies



After Roger & Reed

	Grab Shotgun from Bar

	Head to Tunnels Entrance

	

Go in to Boykin



Again mostly standard fight just takes turns shooting or he rolls like he's Fred Durst

Client just back off when your shotgun runs out

Case 7-3

Client grab Assault Rifle

Case 7-4

Host:

	Go for the far barrel then be ready to hack the panel

	

Client:

	Use your Quicksteps to grab the two closer items

	

Case 8-2

Client gives TK his Zombrex to use his remaining Quickstep timer bog standard otherwise

The Facts

Host:

	Make the LMG Bike and destroy the Harvesters as normal

	

Client:

	Destroy the Harvester next to Royal Flush

	Make Knife Gloves for Stacy's Fight (about as good as Sledgehammer but there's no other place to get an item as good)

	Destroy the rest of the Harvesters on the Platinum Strip scavenging ARs from the goons

	

Both of you should finish killing all your harvesters at about the same time



!!!DO NOT RELOAD A CHECKPOINT OUT OF HABIT!!!



Stacy Fight



In the Final Phase whatever player is not doing the QTE with Stacy can ride on top of her alien thing to immediately do another QTE as soon as the first finishes saving like a minute

Otherwise standard

Overtime

Both players will get the levitation glitch but ignore it for now as you can't load a checkpoint without a DC



Head to Americana

Host:

	Send Invite

Rest of Overtime is just one player goes to the exit one player grabs the item



And that's AllBosses NG Coop.
