The Magician Sword is a weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.

It is dropped by Roger Withers after defeating him and Reed Wallbeck in the mission World's Most Dangerous Trick.

Unlike most other sword-like weapons, there is no special slash attack when the player jumps and attacks in mid-air.

Attacks

Main: Tap / for a fast swing attack with the sword. Chuck will either: Swing parallel along his waist, from right to left. Swing from his right shoulder down left towards his waist. Combo: Tap / again to perform a follow-up swing with the sword. Chuck will either: Swing the sword shoulder-high from his left to the right. Swing the sword downwards from his left to the right.

Trivia

• If the player is wearing the Ninja Suit, there is an added jump attack in which the player performs a horizontal slash in mid-air.
• The sword is a scimitar, commonly used in old-style magician tricks as a reference to the middle-eastern origins of magic.
• The Magician Sword is one of 6 weapons that does not spawn if the player is already carrying one. The other weapons are: Six Shooter, Shopping Valuables, Giant Pink Chainsaw, Rocket Launcher (from World's Most Dangerous Trick), and the LMG. All magazines also have this restriction.
  • As survivors will use the Magician Sword and the game does not check if a survivor is holding one, the 1 item limit of the Six Shooter, LMG, and Magician Sword can be circumvented by giving it to a survivor, leaving & re-entering the spawn area and picking up another one. This allows the player to have up to 9 of either weapon.
