How to Get the Frank the Pimp Achievement in Dead Rising
The Frank the Pimp achievement in the Xbox 360 game Dead Rising can be difficult--it is considered to be one of the hardest and most confusing of all the achievements. It requires a lot of patience, as well as a lot of skill, because you'll be navigating most of the game with multiple party members without returning to the safe area of the Security Room. This activity can be hard to keep track of, but with some work you'll be able to add Frank the Pimp to your list of achievements.

Start a new 72-hour game file. Pass through all the beginning cut scenes until you're in the sealed Security room with Otis. Go out through the air duct, and either kill or rescue Natalie and Jeff on the roof. The survivors of certain scoops must be rescued or dead for other scoops to open up.

After you deal with Natalie and Jeff, stock up on Orange Juice from Columbia Roastmaster's on the second floor of Paradise Plaza. It heals four bars of health, so you should always have a couple of them in your inventory. Also stock up on your preferred weapons. Then head to the Food Court and help Brad kill Carlito; this will make later parts of the pursuit easier if the pathway is opened up.

Wait around until you get the scoops "Barricade Pair A & B" and "A Mother's Lament." Head to Al Fresco Plaza and kill Burt and Aaron, the survivors from the "Barricade" scoop. Then pick up Leah from the jewelry store. She has a hurt ankle, which means you'll have to carry her for the next couple of hours in game--but this actually helps you, since zombies can't grab you while you're carrying a survivor.

After 6 p.m. game time, step out into Leisure Park to trigger a cut scene. Here, you can either rescue Sophie and have her count toward the achievement, or just let the convicts kill her. It's your choice, but the next part of the achievement tends to be easier if you only have Leah to worry about.

Waste time until the scoop "Out of Control" is given to you by Otis. Set a waypoint for Leah in the bathroom, then complete this scoop so the secret path between Wonderland Plaza and Paradise Plaza is available. Kill Greg once he opens up the pathway.

Stay out of Paradise Plaza for several in-game hours, because you want the sisters Pamela and Heather to spawn. Track down all the scoops you're given between the end of "Out of Control" and "The Coward" and kill all of the survivors in them. Now take the secret path from Wonderland Plaza to Paradise Plaza. Save Heather and Pamela in the Paradise Plaza Toy Store and have them join the group. Then kill the survivor in the "Restaurant Man" scoop.

Wait for the call for the scoop "Above the Law," then use the bathroom passage to Wonderland Plaza. Waypoint Leah, Pamela and Heather in the bathroom, then head upstairs to complete the "Above the Law" quest. After killing the psychopath Jo, you'll pick up the four girls she was holding captive. Heal any girls who need it and head back to the bathroom with them. Wait around until 1 p.m.

Use the passage again, and go back to Paradise Plaza. There will be a cut scene as soon as you arrive. Waypoint the girls in the bathroom, then kill the cultists near the entrance to the movie theater. Release Jennifer from the box; she will join the party. This will unlock the achievement, and it should also give you the Tour Guide achievement as well. Now you don't have to continue on with this save file; you have the achievement and can start the game again, either for fun or more achievements.

Tips & Warnings
The higher level you are, the easier this achievement will be. In fact, this is a good achievement to save for a play-through when Frank is close to level 50. You should also earn the Tour Guide achievement while getting this one, so it will save you time to not try to earn it before this. If you have completed the Zombie Genocider achievement and the Five Day Survivor, you will have the Real Megabuster weapon and the Real Laser Sword weapon, which will both be of great use while you are trying to get the Frank the Pimp achievement. After the cut scene that reveals the Queens, spend some time collecting Queen Bees for your inventory. They're very useful for getting rid of large groups of zombies. Save often, so you don't have to redo very much if you die, or if one of the girls you're escorting dies.
