GOAL
Destroy the three power drills in the three casinos and the van in Fortune Park.
For the Case West case, see Case 3-2: Blackout

Case 3-2: Run for the Money is a Dead Rising 2 case in which Chuck must stop three drills from breaching the three main Casino's safes. There are several mercenaries guarding each drill. Defeat all the mercenaries, then hit the massive drill they are using to crack the vault door. Keep hitting the drill until it becomes inoperable.[1]

After taking care of the last drill, Chuck must travel to Fortune Park, where a van is breaking into the side of the Atlantica Casino. Kill all the mercenaries, using their own assault rifles, then destroy the van.

Destroying the van will trigger a cutscene and end the case. Rebecca was taping the entire fight between Chuck and the mercenaries, and is now starting to believe that Chuck may be innocent. She agrees to arrange a meeting between Chuck and her source—the person who gave her the tape that purported showed Chuck causing the outbreak. Rebecca tells Chuck to meet her at the Shoal Nightclub at 11:00 pm.[1]

TIP
  • Run sideways to make it harder for the mercenaries to hit Chuck.
  • Use the environment to try not to expose Chuck to more than one or two mercenaries at a time.
  • Use Linette’s shortcut to quickly reach the Yucatan Casino vault.
  • From now, on Chuck will be able to pass through the gaping hole that remains in the wall where the black van was parked. This is a small shortcut between Fortune Park and the Atlantica Casino vault.[1]
