We help you find every Dead Rising 2 combo weapon and rate the best and worst of the bunch

Location of Card:
Gotten simply by leveling up to level 40 – 50.

Getting the Battery is a bit trickier since these are somewhat rare. They can be found in various locations throughout the city as well as in several maintenance rooms but your best bet is to go to the maintenance room in the rear of Tunemakers. This room always has two batteries in it.

Descriptions of Weapons:
This is one of the more surprising weapons in the game due to how effective it is. When you throw it at a crowd of zombies it is charged with electricity; every enemy that it hits will be shocked to hell and back. On top of that it gives off bursts of electricity that will kill any zombies that happen to be in the vicinity of the ball. To sweeten the cake this is an incredibly enduring weapon, bowling down dozens of zombies before it finally busts. Only the fact that it’s carried in two hands reduces its effectiveness.

Above: Surprisingly effective!

Rating: 3/5

Location of Card:
There is no actual way to find this or receive it via leveling up. Simply combine the two ingredients to get the card for this item.

Location of Components:
For this you will need to combine Nectar and a Queen.

The Queen is the easy part – just find a few large groups of zombies and look for the one that is reaching for the sky or clawing at its head. These are the ones with a Queen in there so kill them to get it.

Nectar on the other hand is gotten by mixing two things of orange juice inside a blender. Another one that works is to mix a pineapple with some liquor. This is usually used to attract Queens to you but when combined with a Queen it has another purpose.

Descriptions of Weapons:
Mixing up a Queen with the same stuff that seems to attract them sounds like rather bad news. Well it is but only for the zombies out there. When you shatter the jar that holds this concoction it will release a crazed Queen that will begin to follow Chuck around. Any zombies that come too close to you will prompt the Wingman to attack them and kill them off left and right. It doesn’t follow you too well but it will kill a whole crapload of zombies along the way. Using up a Queen and some of that sweet, sweet Nectar to make this weapon is a pretty damn steep price so you’ll have to weight the costs.

Notes: A helpful little creature but hard to get.

Rating: 3/5

Blast Frequency Gun

v

Location:

Notes:
When fired this gun has two possible effects: If used against normal zombies it will knock them to the ground, stunning them a bit. The trick is using it save this for the Gas Zombies as its blast will cause this heads to explode. It is heavily suggested that you pick one of these up as soon as you gain access to the Underground Tunnels and hold onto it until you start dealing with the Gas Zombies. While you generally just want to avoid them instead of fighting this makes those situations where you must fight a lot easier.


Light Machine Gun

Location:

A Light Machine Gun can be gotten by purchasing it from Just in Time Payday Loans in the Royal Flush Plaza. One can also be found on top of the center structure in the Yucatan Casino right near some Zombrex. Also it can be found on top of Cash Gordon’s, the shop in the Platinum Strip, none too far from the elephant figure. Lastly one can be found near the middle of slide of the water bar in the center of Palisades Mall.

Notes:
While not necessarily the most powerful weapon in the game the LMG will almost always be enough to handle any situation you might find yourself in. Need to clear an area of zombies? Aim at chest / head level and sweep the gun across the horde. Want to handle a psychopath? Backpedal while aiming at center mass, filling the target with enough holes to ventilate a Buick. Since these are easily accessible you should have at least one of these on hand at all times so that you can handle any problems that arise.


Six Shooter

Location:
After defeating Seymour Redding during the “WWJWD?” mission, this can be found on the saw table where he finally ended up. It respawns there for the rest of the game so long as you don’t have one in your inventory when you arrive in South Plaza / Fortune Hotel.

Notes:

This is a rather fantastic weapon. It’s powerful, has decent range and a surprisingly large clip. Seriously who would think that a Six-Shooter would have sixty freaking shots. The only thing that keeps this from being a permanent fixture in your inventory is often that it is located in a fairly out of the way spot. Should you find yourself needing to fight a psychopath in a medium range gunfight then this is weapon will often do the job by itself.
