Furthermore, given the uncompromising nature of the first game‘s systems, trial and error will prove a particularly difficult way to stumble upon all the possibilities. Keeping track of all the different components and potential results is difficult when you have a hungry undead soccer mom gnawing on your neck. Finding different items scattered around a zombified world, duct-taping them together, and going out to dismember some undead appeals to the bloodthirsty MacGyver in all of us. They also give Chuck a valuable Prestige Points (PP) boost, helping him level up faster.If you’ve seen any of the preview material leading up to the release of Dead Rising 2 on September 28th, 2010, you know that combo weapons are a big part of the gameplay. Still, even without a special attack, it's better to use combo weapons, as they are much more effective than most standard weapons. It's possible to figure out recipes on your own - these are called Scratch Cards - but having a weapon's Combo Card also grants Chuck the ability to perform a special attack with that weapon. Throughout the game, protagonist Chuck Greene will come across Combo Cards that contain recipes for specific weapons. Furthermore, most maintenance rooms have other compatible items in the immediate vicinity, so smart players should be able to snag at least two combo weapons from each pit stop. Thankfully, there are maintenance rooms all over Fortune City and, for some reason, it seems all of them just happen to contain two items that can be handily combined into a devastating weapon. It's not for those who want to savor the sweet sense of weapon-making discovery themselves.Ī quick primer: The only way to make weapons in Dead Rising 2 is by finding maintenance rooms. Rather than evaluate the many similarities and few differences between the two games - we'll save that for the review - I've come up with a much more valuable use of your time: A list of 5 of my favorite weapons I've created so far, how they work and where you can find them.įair warning: Here there be spoilers.
Having finished the first two in-game days of Dead Rising 2, I've come to the same conclusion as our earlier previews: that the game is basically just more of the things you liked about the first Dead Rising.
