There are Combo Cards available for each combo weapon in Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Dead Rising 2: Case West, and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record: an inferior scratch card and a superior combo card. Both cards indicate the two weapons required to build the combo weapon. Possessing the combo card grants the player a PP bonus when using that weapon and also allows the player to employ that weapon's secondary attack. Unlike scratch cards, which are only obtained by combining weapons into a combo weapon (or buying items from a pawnshop), combo cards can be earned in a variety of ways, for example:

Leveling up
Defeating certain psychopaths
Rescuing certain survivors
Examining objects such as movie posters throughout the environment

Dead Rising 2[]

There is a total of 50 unlockable combo cards in Dead Rising 2. The achievement/trophy Half Deck is awarded for collecting 25 combo cards, while Full Deck is awarded for collecting all 50.

Further information: Handy Man

Three combo cards are exclusive to Chuck and three are exclusive to Frank. If a character uses a combo weapon with a card that is not exclusive to him, that character will not receive the full prestige point amount, nor will he be able to perform all weapon moves.

For example, a player must play as Frank to perform the Reaper's alternate attack and gain full prestige points per zombie kill with that weapon. Frank will gain 1,000 PP per zombie with the Sterilizer, while Chuck only gets 500 PP per kill.^[1]
