What I did was stood OUTSIDE the gun shop, and stand off to the side of one of the doors, where you are out of range from his shots.

Then quickly poke your head around the door and take a shot or two at him, and move back behind cover. With this method, I was able to take him down without almost any damage. Any attempts at going up close and personal with him with most likely be futile.

You can use any gun to kill him, if you land enough hits. I actually think I pulled it off once with the handguns. I know if you kill some of the zombie coppers they drop guns (occasionally).

What chapter are you in? I have a strategy guide handy if I could check up for some guns if I know approximately how far in the game you are.

The easiest gun to get is the SMG/Uzi (can't remember which one it is, but it's automatic and has 100 rounds).

From the safe area on the roof, where Otis is along with any rescued survivors, go down into the mall through the warehouse. When you come out, turn right, going towards the food court upstairs. Halfway up the stairs turn right and you will be able to jump onto a ledge. This ledge runs along the top of the front of the shops as a kind of canopy. Stick to the left and walk along over a few sections of the canopy, and you will find the gun on the ground.

That should give you enough firepower to take out Cletus (the hick in the gunshop) and get access to the weapons there.

Ive found the easiest way to kill the guy in the gunshop, is to first stock up on pistols and uzis from inside the mall, on top of the blue roof near the start, the fountain uzi and getting the sword from the cafe where that photographer guy apears.

You then use these weapons on the convicts in the jeep, stay behind the trees and if at all possible use the sword up close, if you cant, Id just use the uzi on the faces of the driver the passenger and then the guy on a machinegun, its not easy but its easyer than fighting the guy in the gunshop.

Once you have killed the convicts, take the huge machine gun from off the back of the jeep, use this gun on the gunshop owner, it kills him in about 2 secconds.

once you get practice taking out the guys in the jeep, its reasonibly easy.

Yeah there is one i know of, on that blue canopy, and there is one in the fountain on the other side of the mall, after you fight the guy in the foodcourt.

I must have missed the one in the fountain - I'll be on the lookout for it when I next play

I found a few shops that had medieval weapons, with lots of swords and even a battle axe. That was in the front part of the mall, where I took out a sniper using a hockey stick and puck :D Stealing a line from John McLane "I was outta bullets" :D

screw guns. i had the same problem and was getting frustrated tried pretty much what everyone else just said to "get a gun and shoot him". Guns never worked for me.

Heres what i did. Go to the swords shop and get like 2 of those giant swords, mabe 1 or 2 katanas, and get health for the rest. The giant swords bring him down so much. just keep hiding behind that display thing then when hes busy drinking or something run up to the couter and start slicing him up. he will throw you which can get annoying but just be aggressive and keep running up and he'll be dead in no time.

what about throwing a propane tank in there and shooting it? is that a posibility? or using the chain saw?

What I did was stood OUTSIDE the gun shop, and stand off to the side of one of the doors, where you are out of range from his shots.

That's exactly what I did and it worked like a charm. Though rushing him with swords might work too...as long as you've got the health. As far as firearms go, the pistol is quite effective and very plentiful. I only use guns against the psychos anyway. I need to go back and play this.

that's what i did too

The best way to kill any boss in dead rising is to get Adam the Clown's chainsaw, after killing him.

It keeps respawning, so just keep taking it.

It will kill any boss in 1-5 swings.

What I did was take the shotgun from the opening plaza during the initial attack. Now I use the Real Mega Buster, except for that one time where I decided to kill him with a 2x4. That was fun.
