Arguably one of the best zombie games, Death rising was originally released in 2006. It was long overdue for an overhaul, and fans of the original game finally got it with Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Fans of the original Dead Rising will experience new graphics not only when it comes to characters and environments, but also when it comes to weapons when they play the game as Frank West.
Weapons are a must in this action-packed zombie game, but not all weapons will be equally effective. Some weapons have Limited durability and lower damage. Other weapons will be Stronger with better damageBut these may have scarce ammunition. To overcome zombie hordes and hostile humans, players must find the best weapons they can. Here are 10 weapons players should look for to improve their chances of survival Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.
Plow through zombie hordes
Surprised to see something as simple as a shopping cart on a list of the best weapons in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster? Don’t be. Shopping carts can be quite powerful Mowing several zombies at once. Think about it. You start off in a shopping mall where there are plenty of carts available. You will also likely be surrounded by zombies at some point in the game. Grab one of these and start pushing. The shopping cart will gain momentum and plow down any undead in its path.
Be on the lookout for a shopping cart loaded with real weapons. Take the weapons from the cart, and you’ll be good to go for a while.
The only caveat is that the shopping cart Needs a clear path to be effective. Dead bodies will slow down the cart, and if you don’t have access to another weapon, this can be a problem. If the cart gets stuck on corpses or anything else that might be in the way, zombies can easily surround and overpower you. Still, the shopping cart is something that can help you in a pickle, especially if the pickle is stuck in a crowd of zombies.

Mannequin Torso
Beat zombies to death with this prop
Starting in the shopping mall, you will likely see mannequins all around you. Getting your hands on a mannequin isn’t too difficult. Just exit the security room, where you initially start, and take the elevator down to find mannequins scattered around. It is a seemingly innocent prop, usually used to show off trendy clothes. However, in a zombie apocalypse, anything can become a weapon. The nice thing about the mannequin is that it’s found early on, so it’s a good weapon to use right off the bat.
As nice as the mannequin itself is, it gets even better Once it breaks into the mannequin’s torso. The mannequin doesn’t have the greatest durability, so after a few uses, expect it to break into several pieces. Pick up the torso and start beating the undead, ending their existence in just one hit. Be careful, though. It is a melee weapon, meaning close combat, which can end with Frank getting scratched or bitten.

Katana
Slash through some zombies
As with many post-apocalyptic games, you’ll be able to get your hands on a katana, a long sword that does significant damage and is great for taking down multiple zombies at once. Frank can Wield multiple katanas at onceSo when one breaks, Frank has another to write out. You can find these swords in several different places: Ripper’s Blades, Ned’s Nicknackery, and the Colombian Roastmasters.
While you’re at Colombian Roastmasters, stock up on orange juice, one of the better healing items in the game. When you’re in a pinch, orange juice will keep Frank going.
Colombian Roastmasters Will likely be one of the first places to explore. Once you’ve left the warehouse near the security room, turn right and head up. Go ahead to eventually meet Colombian roastmasters. Find the refrigerator system with orange juice inside. The katana will be on top of an orange awning nearby, according to the video from Postmode.

The katana does quite a bit of damage, not just to zombies but to psychopathic humans, so it’s worth picking up. Plus, if the katana breaks, another one will be spawned in the same location at Colombian Roastmasters. It’s definitely a good early-game weapon.

Small chainsaw
Chop zombies to pieces in no time
There are two chainsaws in it Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. The small chainsaw is the first of the two. Although not as powerful as the second chainsaw, the small chainsaw is a nice pickup because Frank can Manage multiple at a time.
Unfortunately, there are some disadvantages. For example, the small chainsaw Cannot be swung while running. Despite this, it has a decent life and can quickly cut through zombie hordes. The Small Chainsaw is another good early-game weapon, available on day one. As demonstrated by Horizon GamingAll you have to do is beat Adam the Clown to unlock it.

Beat Adam the clown |
Adam the Clown is what is known as a psychopath – a hostile person who will attack and kill other survivors. Adam the Clown, updated from the original game, is the first of many psychopaths that Frank will encounter in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and is found in the Spaceship Rollercoaster in Wonderland Plaza. Once beaten, you will receive the small chainsaw as a reward.

Submachine gun
Shoot continuous fire through zombie hordes
Submachine guns are typically my favorite gun in any type of shooting game, and this is the same for Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. The powerful guns have a High rate of fire and manageable recoil and are great for close-range gun combat. The downside here is that the gun does not have the best accuracy due to its continuous fire, so it is not the best choice when it comes to ranged combat and high damage. Still, it’s a gun worth having and one I’ve used to take down zombie hordes.
The submachine gun is available early on, but it takes some effort to get. The first place to find a submachine gun is in Paradise Plaza. Just as in Postmode Video above, head up the stairs that lead to the second floor of Paradise Plaza. Half way up, there will be an awning to the right. Climb onto the railing and jump over to the canopy. Move along the canopy, and you’ll find a submachine gun at the end, Over the Shaykin’s store.

Sniper rifle
Launch attacks from afar
If you’re a fan of ranged attacks, there’s nothing like the sniper rifle. The sniper rifle is nice to have in certain situations, viz Taking on the prisoners. Unfortunately, getting your hands on the sniper rifle isn’t as easy as some of the other weapons on this list. There are two places where you can get sniper rifles early on. The first is at the Huntin’ Shack in the North Plaza. The second is after the Hull family is beaten at the entrance plaza on day 2. If you go to the Huntin’ Shack, be warned: on day 1 you will meet the owner, Cltus, who is now a psychopath. On day 2, you will meet other survivors.
The survivors in Huntin’ Sack will shoot at you. Leave and come back, and they won’t shoot. Show them a photo of the security room’s air duct to get them to follow you.
The sniper rifle will serve you well, especially if you can get yourself to higher ground. When paired with a shotgun, the sniper rifle is one of the best ranged weapons to have Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Take high ground, which is typically safer, and shoot as many of your enemies as you can with the sniper rifle. Finish the rest with the shotgun.

Shotgun
Take down zombies, spec ops officers, and more
As mentioned above, the shotgun is a great accessory to the sniper rifle. However, it is also a Good standalone gun. The shotgun sprays bullets, making it easy to take out several zombies at once. Being small and lightweight means you can carry more than one shotgun at a time, so if one stops working, just pull out another and continue spraying.
As with the sniper rifle, the shotgun can easily be found in the hunting shack. It is constantly reposing there, so you can choose some. Shotguns are not only great at killing zombies, but they also do well against Spec Ops Officers, Prisoners, and Psychopaths, so having a few in your pocket is recommended.

Chainsaw
Dismember zombies and psychopaths
The chainsaw is strong, more so than the small chainsaw. With such significant power comes a few disadvantages. Unfortunately, unlike the small chainsaw, the standard-sized one won’t fit in your pocket. You will too Drop it pretty easilyAnd it takes forever to actually start up, which means you can’t use it as quickly as the smaller variant. However, unlike the smaller version, The chainsaw can be used while running.
With one swing of the chainsaw, Frank can instantly take down a zombie. And if it doesn’t get knocked out of Frank’s hands, you can run through a horde and slaughter several at once. You can find the chainsaw in two locations in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster: McHandy’s Hardware in Al Fresca Plaza and Crislip’s Home Saloon in the North Plaza.
In McCandy’s Hardware, there will be five chains scattered on the floor, but you can only carry one at a time. Unfortunately, the chainsaw will Run out of gasoline quite quicklyBut you can come back here to choose another when that happens. Since it has limitations, avoid using the chainsaw just to take down a single zombie. It is best used when you take down Several in a row.

Laser sword
Unlock the powerful sword in Infinity Mode
If you enjoy melee combat and want the strongest melee weapon Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, Then the laser sword is a must-have for slicing through zombie hordes. Unfortunately, unlocking the laser sword is no easy feat. In fact, it is one of the hardest weapons to unlock, but it is worth the adventure. To unlock this powerful sword, you need to play Infinity Mode and Survive for five daysor a total of 10 in-game hours. Once unlocked, the laser sword can be picked up in the security room.

Even though it is a powerhouse melee weapon, the laser sword is not without its faults. It breaks easily and requires close-range combat. Still, the laser sword can deal significant damage and take down zombies with a single swipe. Plus, it’s pretty effective against hostiles too, as long as they aren’t using ranged weapons on you.

Real mega blaster
Kill 53,594 zombies to unlock the best gun
The real mega-blaster is the ultimate and best weapon in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Like the laser sword, this ranged weapon can be difficult to unlock. While you won’t have to dive into Infinity Mode to get this weapon, you will have to Kill 53,594 zombies in a single run.
To make it easier, use a vehicle and go to the maintenance tunnels to plow down zombies.
Once unlocked, the actual Mega Blaster can be picked up in the security room. It’s a great weapon for taking out the undead, but also for taking down psychopaths with a handful of shots.
