Scoops are timed side missions inDead Rising Deluxe Remaster. They allow Frank to gain extra Prestige Points (PP) to level up quickly. Certain Scoops also give more story context, or can prevent tragedies from occurring in future days. Several of them require progression in the main story cases, but some are reliant on other Scoops to be completed. If you fail either of the two, that Scoop will be inaccessible until you restart the game.
With the tight deadlines in every version ofDead Rising, expect to miss some Scoops on your first playthrough. Frank will begin the adventure at a low level, and might not have the skills to even safely reach some of the destinations in time. Consider waiting to complete every Scoop until a second try. You can then use all of that accumulated PP to make a strong main character andfocus on a particular ending.
Getting To Know The Survivors
As you explore the Parkview Mall, several people will have special requests or odd demands. Some of them, likesurvivor turned Psychopath Kent Swanson, are found running around the zombie-infested area. It can be dangerous to pursue these if you are under-leveled, but some of the expiration dates are lenient enough for you to come back to them later.
However, other Scoops come from Survivors who are already saved and are simply bored waiting in theSecurity Room. This means you’re able to complete the bulk of them regardless of Frank’s current level. While most Scoops grant rewards, some of them simply prevent unexpected deaths inDead Rising.

Cheryl’s Request
September 21, 21:00 - September 22, 12:00
Either complete Roland’s Appetite, or skip it completely so thatall blue room survivors stay. Once Cheryl has a crowd of three or more, she will ask Frank to take photos of her. You can earn up to 2,100 PP for the pictures, along with another 10,000 for accepting her request.
The final Scoop in the game is Cheryl’s Request. YouTuberManugames92got a call from Otis as they left the safe area, which you can see in the video below. Cheryl’s Scoop occurred during a moment of downtime. You can technically take any photos and complete the quest. However, ones that include Cheryl’s full body will award more PP to level up.
While Scoops are nice side activities, the main goal is to get the bonus PP values. But, don’t wait too long. The maximum level inDead Rising Deluxe Remasteris 50. Once you reach that goal, all of that extra PP is going to waste with no further way to spend it.
