Laser Sword (Dead Rising 2)

The laser sword is a combo weapon in Dead Rising 2 which is made by combining a flashlight and gems. The appropriate Combo Card is found on the Platinum Strip by examining a "Laser Knight" movie poster at the back of the Paradise Platinum Screens theater or by purchasing a laser sword from a Pawnshop.

The Laser Sword is a very powerful weapon, being able to cut multiple zombies in half at once. Its speed and durability are low, however, making the weapon less than effective when dealing with large quantities of standard zombies. It is powerful against psychopaths, mercenaries and other powerful enemies, which are found less frequently, and subsequently require stronger weapons to be dispatched effectively.

Check the Maintenance Room behind the stage in the Slot Ranch Casino to find both raw materials needed to make this weapon in one place.

In Dead Rising 2: Case West, the Laser Sword can be combined with another combo weapon known as the Lightning Gun to create the Laser Gun. An all-powerful gun which can practically disintegrate all zombies within its range.

Trivia

 * The color of the beam cycles through four colors(blue, purple, green, and red) every time it is withdrawn.
 * The Laser Sword is an obvious reference to the Lightsaber from the Star Wars Saga. Both lightsabers require crystals to function and the colors are the same as well.
 * Both the Flashlight and the Gems are found in the Slot Ranch Casino maintenance room.
 * Despite both the Flashlight and Gems being available in Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, you cannot use them to create a Laser Sword.
 * Sadly, in Dead Rising 2: Case West, whenever Frank performs the Double Larit attack while holding a Laser Sword, the weapon will not extend outward like its Dead Rising counterpart did.
