In the Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 DLC, a spiked baseball bat is Frank's default weapon. An AI-controlled Frank will fight with an infinite supply of baseball bats unless the player gives him another weapon. Obscuris's dossier on Frank in Dead Rising 4 calls him "the most dangerous journalist in the world.". Justified when dealing with zombies as, by Case West and Off The Record, he is the man most experienced with dealing with them in the world. Best shown in Off the Record, when he can go up against gas zombies and even a Giant Mecha and come out on top. Regardless, he is capable of surviving multiple king-sized zombie outbreaks, going toe-to-toe with the utterly insane, and besting a Marine in hand-to-hand combat. Badass Normal: As far as it's shown, he has no true combat experience. His notebook entry in Case West is "He's covered wars, ya know". Ascended Meme: His war coverage has become the series' Running Gag. Anti-Hero: Type II, compared to Chuck Greene's Nice Guy persona. Afraid of Needles: He's not exactly thrilled at having to receive his first shot of Zombrex. By the time of Dead Rising 4, he's 52 but is even better at killing zombies than ever. He does thrust himself into the situation trying to get a story but once hes got his boots on the ground it quickly turns sour. Action Survivor: Like any poor sap who visits the mall on a really bad day of zombie outbreak. He returns as the protagonist of Dead Rising 4, once again investigating an outbreak in Willamette. He also is the star of the What If? story Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. He attempts to 'get back in the game' by investigating the company Phenotrans in Dead Rising 2: Case West. Frank proves himself to be incredibly competent fighter and photographer, and his determination in getting his story allows many dark truths to come to light.Īfter the events of the Willamette Incident, he proceeds to become a celebrity, but squanders it all and alienates the public. He tells the pilot to drop him off on the roof of the Willamette Parkview Mall, and return for him in 3 days. Upon hearing that something big was going down in the town of Willamette, Frank charters a helicopter in order to investigate and leave with the "scoop of a lifetime". Remember that name, 'cause the whole world's gonna know it in three days.
