- "Fire this powerful sonic device at a zombie, it'll blow their minds!"
- —Combo card description
The Super B.F.G. is a combo weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It is created by combining a blast frequency gun with an amplifier.
The official guide describes the weapon as:
- "Most powerful gun in the game. Shoots a large shock wave that can take out a massive amount of zombies in one shot."[1]
The Super B.F.G. does not become easily accessible until Case 7-2: The Only Lead, which is when blast frequency guns are introduced (before this case, however, a hidden one can be located in the Underground; see #Trivia). Unlike the regular blast frequency gun, which only kills gas zombies, the Super B.F.G. is effective against both gas zombies and regular zombies.

Trivia[]
- Before the release of Dead Rising 2, the Super B.F.G. was known as the "Mystery Super Weapon."
- A blast frequency gun can be located in the Underground before the failed military rescue after Chuck has chased TK on the train.
- Enter the Underground from the entrance in the Royal Flush Plaza, then go counterclockwise around the track and it will be on the first large raised section with the Servbot masks. Once it is acquired, head back up to the Royal Flush Plaza to Tunemakers, which has a maintenance room in the back and a large stack of amplifiers next to the maintenance room; the player can now build the Super B.F.G.
- During the fight with Sullivan, he is unaffected by the Super B.F.G.
- The Super B.F.G. received a buff in Off the Record, and can even one shot kill looters and mercenaries.
- The abbreviation "B.F.G." is a reference to the Doom series; however, unlike in Dead Rising 2 in which the acronym stands for Blast Frequency Gun, the Doom acronym means "Big Fucking Gun" (in to the Doom motion picture, the acronym stands for "Bio Force Gun").
- On the back of each of the weapon's speakers are the letters "DR2", an Easter egg referencing the game's title.
