THIS MOD WORKS IN CO-OP IF BOTH PLAYERS INSTALL IT.
A project that initially aimed to restore the old DR2 missions for myself has turned into a fully fledged fan-made expansion to DR2:OTR.
IN TOTAL, THIS MOD ADDS:
92 new missions
3 new mutinies
14 new requests
141 BRAND NEW, ESCORTABLE SURVIVORS
Meaning we now have ~202 survivors in Fortune City that must be escorted back to the safe room. Suffice to say, this is not your average OTR playthrough.
The game shows 198 at the end of the game if you save everybody; this is due to some survivors that initially started in the Safe House (Kristopher Bookmiller, Anim White, Lulu Barra, and Kirby Wilkinson) don't count towards this counter. The total amount of survivors you escort back is 202.
NO SURV LIMIT (TO A POINT). You should still try to clear missions as there does seem to be a hard limit on spawns, but calls should still always come through regardless. GAME CAN SOFTLOCK IF YOU ENTER THE SAFE HOUSE WITH MORE THAN 8 SURVIVORS COMING THROUGH THE LOADING SCREEN WITH YOU. SPLIT THEM UP.
Support me on Patreon to have direct say in what gets added to this and future OTR+ mods!
Compatibility with other mods:
Not compatible with most mods, but is confirmed by users to work with Lazy Duchess' Off the Record Patch.
THIS MOD WAS NATIVELY DEVELOPED IN ENGLISH BUT ALSO HAS A FULLY TRANSLATED SPANISH VERSION MADE BY MOD FAN MASTONMO! HUGE THANKS TO THEM!
Watch Horror Speedrunner Ecdycis play the release build the day the mod came out (This version has SIGNIFICANTLY less content than the current version):

LIST OF CHANGES:
(Small chance I forgot something)
ITEMS
- Thanks to Mastonmo and ThrowingOutRoX from the OTR+ Discord
- The crowbar has had its damage slightly increased so it is a one shot kill to zombies.
- The Croupier Stick has increased durability.
- Handgun damage slightly increased, it one shot head shots (for the most part)
- EVERY item in the game can now be pocketed, there is no size limit. (Try not to pocket two wheelchairs, it's a little buggy)
- All magazines were moved.
- MULTIPLE new items have been added.
- Soda Cans can be found in Chris' Fine Foods in the Palisades
- Large Stick Ponies (all colors) can be found in Children's Castle in the Royal Flush Plaza
- Ball Launchers can be found behind the Bike Trailer on the Silver Strip.
- Stun Grenades have been placed all around Fortune City, but there is a dispenser for them in High-Noon Shooting Range. (Note for co-op players: If one person gets hit with a Stun Grenade, both players will be stunned and have to wiggle their stick despite the second player having no prompt to. Shouldn't be a big deal.)
- Submachine Guns (credit to Tommah) have one hidden in every area of the map (Royal Flush, Underground, Food Court, Slot Ranch Casino, Palisades, Atlantica, Uranus Zone, Americana, Arena, South Plaza, Yucatan Casino).
- Marksman Rifles have been placed around the map; one spawn if you want to try it out is High-Noon Shooting Range.
- Merc Assault Rifle has been reworked into 'Burst Assault Rifle'. More damage, fires (up to) 3 round bursts.
- Advanced Sniper Rifle (One of each color is hidden around the map, can you find them all?)
- TIR Lance (One of each color is hidden around the map, can you find them all?)
- Brandon's Glass Shard is available after his boss fight in the bathroom. It will respawn when you go back if you don't have it.
- Six Shooter has been reworked into a Revolver that is on par with other weapons, but is more readily available and you can have more than one.
- Beer now also has a Beer Can variant.
- All Case Zero bike parts (Handlebars, Bike Forks, Bike Engine, Bike Wheel, and the Bike Utility Cart) are now available around the TiR truck.
- More new items: Pancakes, Fried Rice, Cranberry Juice, Tomato Juice, Safe House Ration, Pain Pills, Garden Hoe, Aluminum Tennis Racket, Americana Acoustic Guitar, Black Acoustic Guitar, new colors of Vending Machines.
- MULTIPLE new, unique versions of items will now spawn in the Safe House depending on if the corresponding survivor has been saved. All items spawn in the lounge. Keep checking and look around for some new stuff!
- Survivors can take a handful of new items. Unfortunately it seems like they're hard coded to refuse combo weapons, so those are still refused for now.
- Frank now swings the guitar and acoustic guitar like a normal person. Bass Guitar still has the goofy swing for anyone who liked it.
- All magazines now respawn if you leave the area and load back in so both players in co-op can have the magazine. Having multiple of the same magazine does not stack the buff.
SURVIVORS
- 140 new survivors have been added to escort to the Safe Room, all with their own unique stories, scoops, and dialogue. (Credit to killmymiss and Tommah for some survivor models).
- All survivors are a little bit tankier across the board.
- Survivors can take a couple more items (BFG and the Protoman Blaster, for example)
- Hold Hand functionality has been restored from DR1. It's a little buggy but it works.
- Some display names were changed for consistency.
- Tomomi's display name is now her last name, 'Miyamoto'. All of her code refers to her by Miyamoto. I think her first name being displayed is a mistake, frankly, so I fixed it. Nothing about the survivor herself has been changed. This gets its own line since I get asked about it a lot.
- EVERY SINGLE NOTEBOOK ENTRY has been edited to include the scoop the character is from, and over 60% of the original notebook entries have been added to in some way. Enjoy some new lore!
- KNOWN ISSUES: 8 survivor limit has been removed, but you should still try to have no more than 8 survivors with you at once as the game wasn't built for it. If you get around 5-6 survivors I'd consider dropping them off.
- ISSUES CAN HAPPEN IF YOU LET TOO MANY SURVIVORS LOAD UP IN THE QUEUE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
VEHICLES
- The security/industrial carts, the humvee, the clown car, and the skateboard have all had a speed increase to give players more mobility to save all the survivors. Key prices have been reduced across the board for vehicles.
- Key prices for vehicles were reduced across the board.
- Humvee reduced from 2.5 million to 1.75 million.
- Chopper Bike reduced from 1.25 million to 300k.
- Sports Car reduced from 1 million to 700k.
- Vehicle spawns added and changed to make more sense and to make them actually worth buying and using Humvee in Royal Flush. Humvee/Sports Cars/Chopper Bikes still require you to own the key.
- Security Cart added outside of maintenance tunnel.
- Security Cart outside of the Royal Flush exit in Fortune Park.
- Security Cart in Palisades Mall.
- Sports Car instead of bike near the arena entrance.
- Sports Car in Americana near The American Historium store.
- Sports Car underground, right next to the Royal Flush Plaza entrance. Use the underground as a highway!
- TIR-Grade Slicecycles spawn behind the combo bike truck.
- The Postal Cart has been restored as a drivable vehicle to the best of my ability.
- Chuck's TIR Bike and Carl's Postal Cart now stay as usable vehicles after their boss fights.
OTHER
- Psychopaths have been buffed across the board. Some more than others.
- The intro sequence has been cut down to be less repetitive (skips the combat and photography tutorial)
- New workbench to craft combo weapons in the Safe House in the room Stacey is in.
- Minor small adjustments to some other boss fights for consistency.
- All magazines have been moved. (The two people seem most interested in are Leadership, which is in the Arena security room, and Juice Boost, which is on the counter at the Americana bar.)
- All outfits (Sports Fan, Firefighter, etc) are in Storage Room 1 of the Safe House. Use them if you want to. Don't use them if you don't want to. They also only require one outfit piece instead of all 4.
- Underwear and default face is available in the bathroom of the Safe House, or in your storage locker.
- Queens now spawn at the end of day 1 instead of like halfway through the game for some reason
- Maintenance Tunnel door outside of the safe house now defaults open. No longer will you have to get off your skateboard to open the door; you can now ride right through the tunnel and down to the safehouse without stopping.
- You don't get all of your money back from TK. You get none.
- A handful of minor characters have had their entries from the notebook removed, mainly the Arena victims from the start of the game.
- Some lockboxes have new rewards.
- New blenders - One in the Safe House lounge, one in the Dark Bean Cafe in the Royal Flush Plaza.
- Brand new outfits are available in the bathroom shower. Made by SolidCal (Zero Tee, Bowling Shirt, West Scientist, Zero Diner Dress and Journalist Outfit, Mega Man Outfit, Prison Guru Jumpsuit, Casual Phenotrans Outfit), Freako (Old School Journalist), Killmymiss (Hank East), Colinz (King Arthur's Armor, Prison Jumpsuit, TiR Yellow Jumpsuit, TiR Red Outfit), Mel (Carlito's Outfit, Zero Hunting Jacket, and Phenotrans Security Armor, Sheriff Outfit. Check Mel out here!)
- Yucatan Rooftop is now accessible, now with zombies!
- The original arena from the start section is now available to explore just for fun. There's nothing down there. Go back to the elevator if you wanna check it out.
- Some soundtrack changes: Restored TK's unused overtime theme (Credit to Solidcal), Stacey no longer has dubstep, new Rock Heroes music, new Evan music.

Major Changes to Existing Scoops (Avoid this list if you don't want spoilers)
- Roy's Mart (Denyce) now has an additional survivor.
- Fresh Meat has a child mission with an extra survivor.
- Hunger Pains has a different reward.
- Happily Ever After... Sort Of (Gordon and LaShawndra) has had Gordon's spawn moved to the second floor of the Royal Flush.
- Welcome to the Family now has Jack request a Sniper Rifle before he agrees to go with you.
- Lush-ious Lady now has an extra survivor.
- People Like Us has a child missions with 3 extra survivors.
- Lost... (Chad and Doris) has been removed from the game as that mission was very buggy. The survivors have been repurposed into a new scoop.
- One Man's Trash has a survivor now.
- Slave to Fashion now has Europa ask to hold your hand instead of asking to be carried.
- Case 2-2: A Familiar Face now allows you to rescue Vikki.
- Big Game Stakes has been moved to outside of the Atlantica Casino to fit Stacey's unused radio dialogue.
- Once Bitten now happens earlier, meaning you need to give Jared a total of 3 Zombrex doses throughout the game. (Up from 2)
- Everyone Knows Slappy now has a child mission with a survivor.
- The High Rollers now allows you to pay Nevada a sum of money to recruit survivors as an alternate to playing poker. (It's still possible to play poker with them, though. Just talk to Jessica or Jacob.)
- Live Free or Die (Snipers) now have victims hiding in the park.
- WWJWD? now has more survivors and Ray has been moved.
- Tastes Like Chicken now has Cinda and Jasper hug after reuniting.
- World's Most Dangerous Trick now has a child mission with an extra survivor. Additionally, Madison has a new model and the Magicians have some extra volunteers ready just in case...
- Tape it Or Die crew now spawns with combo weapons. You can steal them from them, but they won't take it back.
- Case 7-4: Breach has been altered. Different, more capable survivors spawn and are unable to die.
- EVERY BASE UNMARKED BASE GAME SCOOP is now marked, utilizing unused Stacey voice lines. (Tape it Or Die 1 is still unmarked.)
IT IS 100% POSSIBLE TO SAVE EVERY SURVIVOR, DO EVERY OPTIONAL BOSS, DO EVERY STORY MISSION, AND GET TO OVERTIME FROM A LEVEL 1 CHARACTER WITHOUT USING ANY SPECIAL OUTFITS OR BUFFS (As long as there's no bugs in the current patch. If that's the case: Sorry! Lemme know!)
Installation:
Take the "data" folder in OTR+ and replace your "data" folder in steam/steamapps/common/Dead Rising 2 Off The Record. If installed correctly, it will prompt you to replace some files. Say yes.
To uninstall, simply validate your files on Steam.
KNOWN ISSUES:
-THE SURVIVOR IN MISSION 'AGES 10 AND UNDER' CAN GET STUCK IF SHE TRIES TO CLIMB OVER A COUNTER DUE TO DIFFERENT MODEL SIZE. You can potentially bring a wheelchair to her and she will get unstuck (thanks to Alexwoodring for figuring that out)
-General minor modelling issues on some of the custom survivors.
-The survivor Tuesday likes to run in circles some times before joining Frank.
-The survivor Peter t-poses sometimes.
-Pocketing multiple push items (wheelchairs, zap n shine, etc) is not recommended as you can mess up your physics. If it happens by accident, just reload checkpoint.
- Custom outfits will sometimes have glitched textures when swapping between certain outfits. Rarely happens. Most noticeable is Old School Journalist > Underwear, and Prison Guru Jumpsuit > Zero Diner Dress.
-A lot of missions only have one person that runs the join script. If that person dies or defects, others may not be recruitable. This should only happen in extreme cases or if you kill the person yourself.
-Hold Hands mechanic is MOSTLY functional. Some animation glitches can occur. To avoid issue, let go of hands before going through a loading screen. I've tested it dozens of times and it's only gotten me stuck one time every time I've held hands and changed levels, but still. DO NOT DO THE HOLD HAND PROMPT IN ENCLOSED AREAS OR YOU HAVE A HIGH CHANCE OF GETTING STUCK IN THE WALL. There is only 1 survivor in the entire mod that truly requires you to hold their hand, so you can ignore this mechanic for the most part if you're having issues.
A BIG THANK YOU TO THE DEAD RISING DISCORD AND THE DEAD RISING MODDING FORUMS. THIS MOD WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE RESOURCES THEY HAVE PROVIDED, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE MANY PEOPLE WHO TAUGHT ME HOW TO MOD THIS GAME FROM THIS WONDERFUL COMMUNITY.
TRULY; THANK YOU.
