The Psychopath Skills Pack is a DLC clothing pack in Dead Rising 2, released on October 12, 2010. It comes with the High Stakes Edition of the game and can be purchased from the Xbox Live Marketplace or the PlayStation Store for $1.99.[1] The clothing pack appears again in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, with parts of the outfit scattered throughout Fortune City.
Abilities[]
- Heavier damage from the following psycho-related weapons: 2" x 4", cement saw, chainsaw, chef knife, crowbar, fire axe, giant pink chainsaw, large wrench, machete, meat cleaver, mining pick, pitchfork, and power drill
- Less damage taken from enemies
- Immunity to slouching over in pain if grabbed twice by zombies (this does not work if the player drinks three alcoholic beverages in quick succession)
- New secondary attack animations for the machete, meat cleaver, and mining pick
Attire[]
The outfit consists of four pieces of clothing, one for each section of the body. Once obtained, they can be accessed at the clothing locker in the Safe House restroom. In Dead Rising 2, at least one piece of clothing must be worn to gain the outfit's special abilities. In Off the Record, all pieces must be worn.

Skills packs[]
Skills packs are downloadable costumes that can be found in the Safe House restroom clothing locker.
For Dead Rising 2, the Ninja, Psychopath, Solider of Fortune, and Sports costumes were first offered as pre-order bonuses. After October 12, 2010, a player could purchase these costumes. These costumes can be used during co-op.[2][3][4] Off the Record separates these four costumes' parts and scatters them throughout Fortune City for Frank to find or unlock.
For Off the Record, the Cosplay Warrior costume was announced as a pre-order bonus on July 21, 2011. The Cyborg, Fire Fighter, and Barbecue Chef were not offered as pre-order bonuses and are only available as DLC.
