Unlock clothing
Apart from the knight pieces, these are some other unlock clothing that are available in the safe-house closet after completing certain requirements.

Ghosts 'n Goblins knight armor
Collect all four pieces of the knight armor to get half damage. If lose 50% health, the armor will break and you will take normal damage in your underwear. The armor pieces can be found as follows.

Knight's Armor tip
When all 4 pieces are equipped Chuck's health is doubled. But beware, if Chuck's health falls below 50% the armor will shatter into a million pieces and he'll be in his underwear and back to regular health

Easy "Tape It Or Die" trophy
Find a zombie (usually in a crowd) with his hands in the air. Kill him to release the queen in a bottle, as in the original Dead Rising. Get a beer and go to the candy store. Take some jelly beans.

Six Shooter
Once you've progressed far enough into the game to have unlocked the Six Shooter revolver (by defeating the Cowboy Security Guard Psychopath in the South Plaza) it's a good idea to carry his weapon around, which can be found on the sawing board he dies on. You can only have one at any time like all Psychopath weapons, so if you try to exit and re-enter the area to get an extra Six Shooter, you won't find anything on there until you lose the one you're carrying (or that your Co-Op partner is carrying). This weapon is incredibly powerful, more so than any rifle other than the Sniper Rifle. And it also has a great rate of fire. With this weapon you can easily take out most Psychopaths by simply corner shooting, or in some cases just continually shooting them as most Psycho's will be stunned for a brief moment by each shot.

Quick Money
The money in the bank is literally, money in the bank. Walk round the four casinos and start hunting down ATM machines. If there is one there, give it a good smack, and you will be pleased to see $2,500 pop out of the machine each time. If there are two machines next to one other, you will get $5000. You can use this money to buy anything at the pawn shops, so have fun smashing ATMs.

Free Money Boost at Game Start
Start a new game then win the race. After you win go to the first toilet that you encounter and save your game. Now, go to the main menu and select START GAME and then select RESTART STORY. DO NOT skip the cutscene. You will keep the money and PP that you earned after winning the race ($10,000 for first place) and repeat this as many times as you like.

Easy PP
In Fortune Park, follow the wall to the right of the Atlantica Casino and enter the side door. Combine the dynamite and meat you find here for the Dynameat. Leave the building and head to the right. At the fireworks stand, climb to the top and use the fireworks to attract zombies. Jump down into the crowd and use the Dynameat, retreating quickly. You will get a ton of PP. Leave Fortune Park and return to make the items respawn. Repeat this to attain very high levels.

Slot Machine Win
If a slot machine has a pile of money in front of it, you can play it and win it five times -- after that you will not be able to win again unless you return to the map.

Wheelchair Accessible
Tired of carrying around survivors in your arms or on your back? Then just push a wheelchair up to them and wait for them to have a seat. You can then run back to the Safe House with ease. Just try not to hit too many zombies and walls or else the rider will fall out and the chair will break. Keep in mind, only 1 survivor can fit in the chair and even uninjured survivors can sit in it. (This tip is especially handy for transporting the soldier during the Shell-Shocked mission)

Faster Money
Collect all three gambling magazines, then, go to Slot Ranch Casino and play the large heart-shaped single pink slot machine on the first floor near the access point to the Food Court. Keep betting the max of $1,000 to win a lot of money quickly. It is possible to win approximately $1,000,000 every ten minutes. Note: Sometimes you may not win anything for three minutes, but then you may win three times in a row. Just keep playing until you win the desired amount of money.

72,000 Zombie Kills
First off you need $2,000,000 and the DRIVER magazine. The magazine is found in BBQ Jacks by the soda fountain. Next, buy the SUV key from pawnshop in Silver Strip. You find a SUV (a Humvee) across the street in Shamrock Casino. With the SUV, just drive around the strip slaughtering zombies. With the DRIVER Magazine in your possession, your SUV with last three times longer. When your vehicle is destroyed (or is about to be destroyed), enter any adjacent area that makes your game load a new map. Once you do, go back the Shamrock Casino and the SUV should have respawned with full health. Using this method, you can get about 4,000 zombie kills with each SUV; all this only takes about 15 minutes of real time.

Zombie Fu
Easiest way to kill 1000 zombies with your bare hands was to go into the toy store on the first floor of Royal Flush Plaza & grab some fireworks. Go upstairs to Ragazines & grab the magazine for combat (increases damage from hand to hand). Go downstairs and jump the railing into the big craps table (the one with the big dice & security guards). Stand next to the railing & throw fireworks to attract zombies to you. As they stand there trying to hit you just throw haymakers (if you have unlocked that already) & use face smash & pick up & throw to kill them. As far as I can tell, skill moves work as long as you are not holding a weapon. They cannot hit or grab you from the other side of the railing. It took me about 20 minutes to get the trophy. You also unlock a new outfit in your locker (tattered clothes, aka he Shaun of the Dead clothes).

Extinguish the Slappy Boss Fight
There is an easy way to beat Slappy. Inside the toy shop where you fight him, there are squirt guns. Grab one or two of them, then shoot him with the squirt gun a few times. He will then struggle with his flamethrower as the water messes with them. You should be able to get a few hits with a mele weapon, then take cover. Repeat shooting him with the Squirtgun and swithing to a spiked bat or Defiler.

Easter Eggs

Prototype Reference
The trophy Z-Genocider 2: Genocide Harder in which you have to Kill 53,596 zombies is a direct reference to the Prototype trophy Trail of Corpses where you have to Kill 53,596 infected
