- "When the Impact Hammer is not shocking enough for you."
- —Combo card description
The Impact Blaster is a combo weapon found exclusively in Dead Rising 2: Case West.
It is created by combining an Impact Hammer with a Blast Frequency Gun. The combo card is obtained by Chuck via leveling up, but it can be created and utilized by Frank. Nevertheless, Chuck is the only one who can perform this weapon's heavy attack.
The Impact Blaster is one of the most powerful melee weapons in the game, capable of killing anything short of a hazard unit or psychopath in just one hit.

Main attack (press  / )
|
Perform a powerful horizontal strike to instantly kill a zombie, along with knocking back any other zombies hit. The force of the hammer combined with the sonic boost of the BFG sends the target flying through the air. Hazard Units take about three hits to kill and will not go flying when hit, but they will be momentarily be stunned for a few seconds after being struck, giving the player enough time to land another attack before they can fully recover. | 
|
| Alternate attack (hold /)
|
Perform a vertical strike to the ground that sends out a massive shockwave to knock back and kill zombies close to the blast. Frank cannot use this attack. |

Locations of weapons needed to make the Impact Blaster:[1]
| Component | Location | Specific location and instructions | Image |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blast Frequency Gun | Harvesting Room | The Blast Frequency Gun is found on the second floor of the Harvesting Room, propped up against one of the yellow control panels. |  |
| Impact Hammer | Holding Pens | The Impact Hammer is found behind a staircase in the Holding Pens area. Exit the Storage Bay by going through the small door in the corner with "Holding Pens" written above it. Hug the right wall that reads "Security" as soon as Chuck goes through that door, and make your way under the staircase that leads to the Security Outpost.

Trivia[]
- The Impact Blaster and the Sterilizer are the only combo weapons from Dead Rising 2: Case West that do not return in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
- In spite of the fact that only one Blast Frequency Gun is required for creation, the Impact Blaster has at least two of them taped to it.
