Cut from the Same Cloth

*"There's some young guy wanderin' around in Paradise Plaza. He's carryin' a camera like you. I guess he must be a photographer, too. Takin' pictures at a time like this...You're both crazy!"*
—Otis Washington

## Cut from the Same Cloth

### Survivor(s)

Kent Swanson

**Cut From the Same Cloth** is the first scoop available in *Dead Rising*.

It takes place in Paradise Plaza on the first day. Another photographer has made his way to Willamette, and reckons his skill with a camera far outstrips Frank's experience.

## Overview

*Further information: Photo Op*
Speak with Kent. Although he is arrogant, Kent actually provides a solid tutorial for taking pictures.

#### **First photo**

Kent first wants Frank to shoot a picture of him taking a picture of Frank. Frank must snap a picture worth at least **500 Prestige Points** or more. Make sure Kent is centered and zoomed in so that he is in the frame and snap the photo as soon as he gets in pose. He will either pose standing still or crouching.

#### **Second photo**

Kent wants Frank to take a picture of him in his signature pose. Frank needs to get  **700 Prestige Points** or higher. Wait for Kent to snap a photo; as soon as he does he will pump his fist right afterward. Shoot a picture just as he pumps his fist to achieve your goal. You may have to chase Kent down to get this photo.

Another possible pose he could do after taking a photograph will involve him 'celebrating'. Although this is not the signature pose, a decent photo of him in this position will still grant 700 PP, enough to complete the scoop.

#### **Photo Op**

There is a potential Photo Op if the player manages to photograph Kent performing a flying jump kick. He is the most likely to trigger this attack when he is around a zombie. The photograph will grant a maximum of 10,000 PP (Not counting the use of photography books).

#### **Photo Challenge Scoop**

After these two photos are taken, a cutscene appears, and a new Scoop, Photo Challenge, becomes available. To complete this the Photo Challenge scoop, Frank must take the required picture and return to Colombian Roastmasters (P202) at noon on the 20th.

## Cutscene Dialogue

**Kent Swanson**: Hmmm...well it's in focus, and the composition's okay I suppose... Uh-huh. That ain't half bad! Okay, here comes the next one Frankie. But first, feast your eyes on my work.
**Kent**: Now this is my most emotionally moving shot.

*Kent holds up the back of his camera and shows Frank an image of two people hugging*
**Kent**: This is my sexiest shot.

*Kent shows Frank a picture of a woman kneeling in lingerie.*
**Kent**: Uh-huh, uh-huh, okay, okay... This is my most violent shot. Check it out...

*Frank pushes away the camera when Kent shows a picture with a splattered zombie's head.*
**Kent**: Okay, Here's the deal Frankie. You've got to go out there and take even better pics than the ones I showed you today! You think you can handle that huh?
**Frank West**: Yeah.

## Trivia

* It is possible to get the Self Defense Achievement by killing Kent, even when Frank was just supposed to take pictures during **Cut From the Same Cloth** or Photo Challenge, as he still counts as a psychopath.
* If Frank does not complete this scoop, he will not be given the Photo Challenge and Photographer's Pride scoops and will never have the opportunity to save Tad Hawthorne from Kent Swanson.
* When Frank activates this scoop the screen will go dark. Unlike other scoops that expire, Frank then has at least until day two to complete this scoop. Kent will remain in Paradise Plaza, waiting for his two pictures.
* Like all scoops, Frank **cannot** be in the plaza/location where the scoop will take place to receive a call from Otis. So, in this case, to receive the Scoop call from Otis Frank cannot be in Paradise Plaza, where **Cut From the Same Cloth** takes place. If Frank is in Paradise Plaza at 2pm, when the scoop begins, he will not receive a call from Otis until he leaves the plaza. If he stays in Paradise Plaza for too long, Otis will never call Frank, and Frank will lose the scoop.
* The scoop must be completed by 8pm. If Frank is in the middle of talking to or photographing Kent at 8pm, the cinematic for Photo Challenge will play and Kent will disappear.
* Unlike other scoops, the moment Frank locates Kent the scoop is removed from the Scoop Cue and Kent will not start to lose life if Frank leaves the area.
* If Frank attacks Kent instead of talking to him, a shorter dialogue is used. This can be used to skip though his introduction conversation with Frank.
