Combo Weapons Guide
By chupasse
Combo Weapons are weapons that are made from a combination of two or more weapons in Maintenance Rooms. In Fortune City, Still Creek and the Phenotrans Facility, Chuck Greene can discover how to make combo weapons through the use of special construction recipes called Combo Cards which will tell player how to make certain combo weapons. These cards can be obtained by examining various fixtures around Fortune City, rescuing survivors, defeating psychopaths and by purchasing with money. Some combo weapons can be purchased from pawnshops and from other survivors.

Combo weapons can also be created by trial and error. When a combo weapon is created without first identifying a combo card, a scratch card is obtained instead. This will record how the weapon is made. However, a combo weapon created without a combo card cannot perform its heavy attack and gains less PP from killing zombies.

In Dead Rising 2: Case West and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, Frank West returns to the action and he also gains the ability to make combo weapons. Frank even gains a few of his own unique combo cards which only he can master to full effect.

Sortable Table of Combo Weapons
PP (Prestige Points) are doubled once you have the Combo Card. You can increase PP even more by getting Magazines Combat 1 through 3, each adding 10% to each weapons PP.

Ω = Requires Combocard to do attack.

Combo Bikes
The Combo Bikes are combo weapons that are made by combining a Dirtbike with another weapon.
These bikes can't be created unless Chuck completes the mission Meet the Contestants and unlocks the trailer that can be used to create the combo bikes. Unlike the other combo weapons, the combo bikes don't have Combo Cards.

Notes
Aside from Frank, none of the survivors will take any combo weapons from Chuck.

If you are holding one ingredient for a combo weapon in hands and have the second ingredient in inventory or in immediate vicinity, blinking halos would appear around their wrench symbols. Although, this only happens when you already have the Combo Card for the resulting weapon, which quite limits the usefulness of this feature.
Trivia
Only two items are required to make a Combo Weapon, but sometimes the end result looks as it was made of more. For example, to make a Paddlesaw, a Paddle and a Chainsaw are used, but the finished weapon shows two Chainsaws attached to the Paddle.

The Rocket Launcher Motorcycle is the only combo bike in Dead Rising 2 that is made by combining a combo weapon with a bike.

The Blitzkrieg is the weapon that uses a combo weapon and regular weapon.

For Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, all of the Combo Weapons from Dead Rising 2 are supposed to be included, and even some from Dead Rising 2: Case West, according to the Bouncing Beauty Combo Weapon Trailer where you see the Laser Gun and where you need the Lightning Gun the make the Laser Gun.

A mysterious glitch sometimes occurs in Co-op mode, which causes the combo weapon in one player's hand to mysteriously become indestructible. It is unknown whether this glitch occurs only with combo weapons or with others as well. (Allegedly the Parasol and the Chainsaw have been known to have this glitch)
