Boomstick

The boomstick is a combo weapon that can be built by Chuck Greene. It is a shotgun with a pitchfork attached to the top, like a bayonet. It is made by combining a shotgun and a pitchfork. It has two forms of attack. The regular attack is to stab a zombie with the pitchfork, and fire. This results in 200 prestige points per zombie killed by this method. The heavy attack stabs the zombie with the pitchfork, lifts it up, and shoots it off using the shotgun. The heavy attack uses three shots instead of one, but results in 2500 prestige points. Even if the gun has less than three shots remaining it will still fire three for one last heavy attack. Jed has been seen armed with this weapon.

Trivia

 * The name "Boomstick" is a reference to the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness series, which has its own undead theme.
 * The Boomstick has apparently inspired a Gaia Online item, the Shotfork, except that the pitchfork is on the bottom rather than the top.
 * The image to the right shows that the shotgun has a stock, but in gameplay it does not.
 * The combo card for this weapon is received for killing Jed in Dead Rising 2: Case Zero
 * When combined the Boomstick has 30 shotgun rounds instead of the twenty the original shotgun has.
 * This weapon could possibly be dropped by Jed since he wields one.
