Dead Rising Deluxe Remastergives you many ways to earn Prestige Points (PP) and level Frank West up, giving him access to new Skills that will help him fight against the undead hoard overrunning the mall. Additionally, each time you level up, Frank’s Health, Inventory, Speed, Attack, and Throw will be increased at random.
While it was impossible to reach Level 50—the max level—during your first playthrough in the original,you level up substantially faster in the Deluxe Remaster,making it far less frustrating. Still, it will take some time and effort to reach it here; it will just be a bit more manageable, especially if you come prepared!
There aretons of ways to earn PPin Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, ranging fromkilling zombies to taking pictures to rescuing Survivors and defeating Psychopaths.You shouldconstantly recruit Survivorsto your party andlead them back to the Security Room,as you willreceive the bulk of your PPthis way.
Not only that,rescuing Survivors will give you access to more Scoops,which willeither be more Survivors or even optional Psychopaths.Therecan only be eight Survivors in the mall,so youmust free that space up to have more enterand totrigger most Psychopath encounters,as they will have hostages.
Photo Ops and Stickersare ways toearn lots of PPvia your Camera. Lookfor asmall yellow circle with ‘PP’ on itandsnap a picture of itto earn lots of free PP.Some Photo Ops require you to snap a photo quickly,so always have your trigger finger primed and ready to whip out your Camera and snap a quick pic!
As touched on above,Leveling Upin Dead Rising Deluxe Editiongives Frank West access to unique Skills and further enhances his Stats.However,these Stats and Skills are unlocked at random,so you may not always get the enhancement you want or are looking for.
Nonetheless,reaching Level 50 will give you access to all Stat upgrades and Skills,so as long as you keep playing and leveling up, you willeventually max out your capabilities,becoming the ultimate zombie-killing machine. Again, you will need to put in some time and effort to achieve this, but not nearly as much as you did in the original release.
When it comes to earning lots of PP quickly in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, there aren’t too many options, as the bulk of it will come from rescuing Survivors and killing Psychopaths. However, with that said, there areways you’re able to earn substantially more PP than you otherwise would,which will help you reach Level 50 much faster.
Books Focused On Prestige Point Gain
Booksare anexcellent way to increase the amount of PP you gainfor doing specific activities, such asdefeating zombies, rescuing Survivors, or taking pictures.The good news is thatthese boosts stack with other Books,allowing you to get a hefty increase overall.
Please keep in mind thatyou must have these Books in your inventory to receive their effects.Your inventory will eventually be pretty massive, so they won’t be too bothersome to hold on to the further you progress and level up. Again,stacking the same type of effect works, so be sure to double up on the Books you needto maximize your Prestige Point gain!

Defeating Raincoat Cultists
When theRaincoat Cultists show upon thesecond dayof the outbreak, they willshow up everywhere throughout the mall in large groups.While they can be annoying to deal with, theyoffer a decent chunk of Prestige Pointswhenever killed.
Each Raincoat Cultist is worth 500 PP,and since theytravel in sizable groups,you canearn thousands of Prestige Pointsby just killing them. There will beHOARDS of them in Colby’s Movieland,making it worthwhile togo in there and clear out each Cinema to farm lots of PPwhen youdon’t have much going on or are waitingfor a Scoop.
It’s not the best or most enjoyable way to Level Up, butit will get the job done, especially in the lower to mid-levelsof the game. Unfortunately,since they aren’t zombies, the Books above won’t have any impacton raising your Prestige Point accumulation.
Driving Through The Maintenance Tunnels
The last method we have of obtaining lots of Prestige Points quickly is tohead to the Maintenance Tunnelswhenever they become available andcontinuously drive through the neverending zombies that spawnin massive groups down there.
On your way toward the Maintenance Tunnels, there will be ared car in the lot. Take that into the tunneland then drive it through the hoards of zombiesuntil you find a white van.From here,jump into the van and begin your killing spreeby running over hundreds of zombies in the blink of an eye.
Eventually,the van will start to smoke before exploding.When this happens,return to the red car, find another van, and rinse and repeat.Before heading to the Maintenance Tunnels, be sure tograb both Horror Novels for a massive 50 percent Prestige Point increasewhen killing zombies!
Leveling UpfromLevel 1 to Level 50will grant Frank Westunique Skills while also increasing his overall Stats,making it an essential part of the game. And whileit is faster in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster,you will still have to put in effortseeking out Survivors, Psychopaths, and Stickersif you want to quickly climb the ranks.
You’re not guaranteed a Skill at every level,asthey are given out randomly in a specific Level Range.Whilethe Stat Upgrade itself is also random, you will at least get one every level,making it not so bad if you don’t get a Skill. Below is the complete list of Skills and Level Ranges in the game!
