PS5
The remaster makes time more manageable but does not remove survivor windows. Use the first run to handle cases and rescue requests together, then check which counters still need work in the menu. Kills and accumulated photographs do not all need to be completed in one run.
Guide for the native PS5 Deluxe Remaster list. Its trophy thresholds and save options are different from the 2016 PS4 edition.
- List: 51 native PS5 trophies, offline
- Saves: Manual saves and autosaves in story mode
- Infinity Mode: Time skip and run suspension
Escort groups before requests expire
Check the map and the time remaining on each request before heading out. When multiple people are in one area, group them and return them to the security room rather than crossing the mall for an optional item. Keep several files for Saint: its counter depends on one playthrough.
- Confirm who actually reached safety.
Finish the cases and clear Overtime
While answering rescue requests, do not miss a main case’s deadline. Complete the eight cases and the facts, then reach the helipad at noon. Finish Overtime to open Infinity Mode. Keep a save before the transition so you can retry fights and check the special forces objectives.
- Verify the true ending before starting Infinity Mode.
Use the remaster’s counters
Zombie Annihilator requires 53,594 kills, but the total carries over between runs here. Drive through the Maintenance Tunnels and plan where to replace vehicles without stopping among zombies. Before grinding the rest, check how many are left in the menu. Your rescue runs may already have built up part of the total.
- Pair the tunnel loop with the 500 vehicle kills objective.
Photograph opportunities that do not return
During the cases, photograph survivors, bosses and PP stickers as you find them. The call trophy needs 30 answers, rather than every call on the PS4 list. Track deliberate setups separately: escorting eight women at once, defeating 30 soldiers barehanded, and taking a 10,000 PP photo.
- Check photos and the notebook before starting another run.
Skip time only with enough healing
In Infinity Mode, health drains as time passes. Collect food and healing books before fast-forwarding at save points; skipping time does not stop the drain. Check the map for characters who may provide supplies. Use the suspend feature if you need to leave the session.
- Stop and heal before skipping time again.
Trophies to watch
Zombie Annihilator
Defeat at least 53,594 zombies.
Check the overall count and use the tunnels for the remaining kills.
Saint
Get at least 50 survivors out of the mall.
Get to 50 in the same playthrough. Other carried progress does not replace rescues.
Transmissionary
Answer 30 calls.
Answer as soon as you can stop safely and watch the 30-call counter.
7 Day Survivor
Survive for at least 7 days.
Bring healing to the time skip point and keep health in reserve.
Frequently asked questions
Are PS4 guides equivalent?
No. Several objectives changed, including calls, photography and barehanded combat. Check that you are using the native PS5 list.
Can I interrupt Infinity Mode?
Yes, using the remaster’s suspend option. Do not treat it like a normal reload point you can retry indefinitely. Prepare supplies before continuing.
Do I need to do everything in one run?
No. Kills, stickers and notebook progress can continue across runs. Saint, specific escort actions and the survival attempt have their own conditions.
