- —Combo card description
The Drill Bucket is a Combo Weapon in Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Dead Rising 2: Case West, and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It is created by combining a Power Drill with a Bucket.
It is placed on a zombie's head, which activates the drills and drills through the zombie's skull and brain. It is more suited for comedic purposes than for killing zombies, as it takes too long to kill to be useful. The player must also pick the weapon back up after each kill.
This combo weapon is described as:
- "It's a metal bucket with a few drills taped to the outside, pointing in. Slam it on a zombie's head and the drills will make short work of its melon. Yay!"[1]
