* AnAssKickingChristmas: [[SubvertedTrope Semi-Subverted]]: The outbreak started on Black Friday, but Frank and Brad don't go to Willamette until six weeks later. Despite the Christmas decorations and music, the game takes place sometime in January 2022. That being said, the Christmas theme is nonetheless still prevalent throughout the game, so therefore the more accurate term to describe this would "An Ass-Kicking Belated Christmas".

* SirSwearsAlot: Frank.

* BadassGay: Heavily implied with Brad basically immediately claiming to Frank that it was an "accident" when he supposedly "inadvertently" showed him (another man) his (Brad's) own nude selfie....although knowing Brad's status as a now high-ranking federal agent, he may have been lying to conceal his identity to protect himself from homophobia from others, even though Frank seems to be the kind of guy who is fairly respectful and tolerant of trivial difference such as sexual orientations. Also counts as AmbiguouslyGay.

Four months later, just after Christmas, [[VideoGame/DeadRising3 Brad Park]] tracks down Frank, currently in hiding, and delivers some troubling news. An unknown agency struck on Black Friday, turning the holiday shoppers in Willamette into zombies. A full-scale outbreak has been underway for over a month, with the U.S. government conspiring to cover it up and quarantine the area. Brad wants to find out why, and to recruit Frank towards that end, tells him that Vick has been spotted in the outbreak zone.

Frank and Brad set off for Willamette, only for their chopper to be shot down over the Willamette Memorial Megaplax Mall, an even larger replacement for the original. Frank splits up from Brad to find Vick, but soon ends up on the same trail she's on: finding out what caused the outbreak, and why a private military company is being allowed to run rampant in the town's ruins.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Frank's ally Brad Parker spends most of the story pursuing his own investigation and organising evacuation for survivors before reuniting with Frank in time for the final battle.
