Destroy All Zombies
The Queen Wasp is a one-time use weapon that breaks when you throw it. However, it will take down every zombie in the vicinity, leaving only other zombies with queens of their own still standing.

9Heavy Machine Gun
Easier To Find This Time Around
The heavy machine gun is not only one of the best damaging projectile weapons in the game but also one that is particularly difficult to find. This is because only one spawns every 24 hours, and you need to defeat the Convicts to take it from their humvee.
It is also difficult to hold on to without dropping since swapping weapons will cause it to fall. Luckily, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster gives you a new way to obtain it. After getting the blending book, you can put two machine guns into a blender, and it will produce a heavy machine gun.
8Rocket Launcher
A New Explosive Weapon
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster gives the military troopers an additional weapon on top of their usual machine guns and helicopter drones. This is the Rocket Launcher and you will be able to recognize it whenever the military aims a laser at you.
The Rocket Launcher is a powerful explosive weapon that deals a tremendous amount of damage to zombies and Psychopaths alike. It can even one-shot all three convicts with one round. While this item is difficult to find, you can combine items into the blender to produce them once you get your hands on the blending book.
7The Shotgun
Simple Early Game Weapon
The shotgun is one of the best guns in the entire game while still being easily accessible. Just one shot from this weapon will hit multiple zombies at once, which makes it perfect forclearing away the swarms. This weapon is also the best gun to use against Psychopaths, especially the early-game ones.
White shotguns can be found in the gun shop after defeating Cletus, you can get an early-game shotgun in the Entrance Plaza. This makes taking care of Cletus easier, so you can quickly gain access to the snipers, shotguns, and infinite handguns.
6Katana
A Basic But Easy Weapon To Get
Everybody loves swords and one of the easiest ones to find in the game is the katana. This reliable weapon can slice and dice the undead but also do decent damage to Psychopaths. The fact that you’re able to always find one in Paradise Plaza also makes it a go-to weapon whenever you set off on a new scoop.
In addition to this, the katana is also perfect for dealing with the True Eye Cultists. It can take them down before they have a chance to explode on you or cover you in sleeping powder.
5Chainsaw
Rip And Tear
The chainsaw is one of the most powerful weapons you can find in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Zombies will fall at your feet when you come swinging with this weapon. This weapon lets you run through hoards of zombies while carving a path for survivors to walk through.
The chainsaw has fantastic damage and clearing power. The only downside is that it limits your movements somewhat since you need both hands to wield. It is also possible to accidentally plow through your own survivors.
4Mannequin Torso
An Easy To Miss Weapon
The mannequin torso is an easy-to-miss weapon unless someone tells you that it’s good, or you find out through mere coincidence. Mannequins always spawn in the storage room between the Security Room and Paradise Plaza.
If you break apart a mannequin, you may pick up the torso directly. This weapon may not look too strong, but it packs a punch against zombies and even Psychopaths. It’s a very reliable weapon if you need to take care of them quickly and move on to the next scoop.
3Laser Sword
Mastering The Zombie Slaying Arts
If you want to master the art of zombie survival, then you need to survive at least five days in the mall. The laser sword will cut through almost anything and the best part of all is that it always spawns in the Security Room.
To get it to spawn, you will first need to go to Infinity Mode and survive for five days. Normally, this would take around ten hours, but with new time-forwarding mechanics, all you need to worry about is having enough food to last you that long. Regardless, the challenge will test your survival skills.
2Mega Buster
One Of The Best Rewards
The best projectile weapon in the game is the Mega Buster. However, you won’t find this weapon just anywhere. You will need to get your hands dirty first and kill 53,594 zombies in one playthrough. This will unlock the Zombie Genocider achievement and make this weapon available to you.
The Mega Buster is a replica of Mega Man’s arm cannon. It shoots powerful energy blasts that can demolish any Psychopath with ease. Because it’s a ranged weapon, it also keeps you out of danger, which only makes it even better as a weapon.
1Small Chainsaws
Nerfed But Still Fantastic
The small chainsaw is dropped by Adam the Clown and you can only pick up one each time you visit Wonderland Plaza. However, it is worth exiting and reentering the area just to stock up. This weapon has all the power of the chainsaw while giving you more mobility.
It is great against Psychopaths and will demolish True Eye Cultists faster than the katana. While it does not have the exact same damage ratio as the original, it is still one of the best weapons in the game.
