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" 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. It's speed and durability however, are major drawbacks, 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.

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 * The color of the beam cycles through four colors(blue, purple, green, and red) every time it is withdrawn.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.
