Combo Weapons (Dead Rising 2)

"You created a combo weapon. Now, introduce it to the nearest zombie"

- "Needs More Chainsaw" Trophy/achievement description

Combo Weapons are weapons that are made from a combination of two or more weapons in Maintenance Rooms. In Fortune City, Still Creek and the Phenotrans Facility.

Chuck Greene can discover how to make combo weapons through the use of special construction recipes called Combo Cards which will tell the player how to make certain combo weapons. These cards can be obtained by examining various fixtures around Fortune City, rescuing survivors, defeating psychopaths and by purchasing with money. Some combo weapons can be purchased from pawnshops and from other survivors.

Combo weapons can also be created by trial and error. When a combo weapon is created without first identifying a combo card, a scratch card is obtained instead. This will record how the weapon is made. However, a combo weapon created without a combo card cannot perform its heavy attack and gains less PP from killing zombies.

In Dead Rising 2: Case West and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, Frank West returns to the action and he also gains the ability to make combo weapons. Frank even gains a few of his own unique combo cards which only he can master to full effect.

Trivia

 * Only two items are required to make a Combo Weapon, but sometimes the end result looks as it was made of more. For example, to make a Paddlesaw, a Paddle and a Chainsaw are used, but the finished weapon shows two Chainsaws attached to the Paddle. The Rocket Launcher Motorcycle is the only combo bike in Dead Rising 2 that is made by combining a combo weapon with a bike.
 * The Blitzkrieg uses a combo weapon and regular weapon.
 * Magazines do not effect the durability of combo weapons.
 * In Dead Rising 3, some combo weapons require 3 items to create.
 * In addition, Dead Rising 3 also has combo vehicles where you combine two different vehicles, like a motorcycle with a steamroller to create a Rollerhawg
