There is a shopping mall’s worth of items that you can find inDead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Some items can be silly weapons that don’t do much in terms of damage, while others can make you feel like a master in the Jedi arts.
Of course, there’s more to surviving the apocalypse than just having a good weapon. You need to find the best items that can heal you, make you a better leader, and provide you with more resources so you don’t end up dinner for the undead. From books that unlock secret game mechanics to items that have been revamped, these are the ten best items in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.
10The Rocket Launcher
The Best Explosive
The rocket launcher does some of the best damage for a projectile weapon. It has the power to eliminate all three convicts in a single shot and can be used to take down the helicopter that appears on day three of the story once the military arrives.
The only downside that this weapon has is that it isn’t easily found until much later in the game. It also doesn’t have much ammo, so you can’t spam it continuously without an additional item to help you do so.
9Horror Novel 2
The Best Book For Beginners
One item every beginner should instantly flock towards is the book titled Horror Novel 2. This book will give you an extra 25 percent PP when killing zombies. While this doesn’t sound like much compared toeliminating the Psychopaths of the game, it actually has more of an effect than you think.
Since you’re always going to be killing zombies on your way to the next scoop, Horror Novel 2 will significantly speed up the process of leveling up and allow you to gain access to more health, moves, and inventory slots quickly.
8Hypnotism Tips
A New Book For Survivors
One of the biggest flaws of the Brainwashing Tips book is that it appears too late in the game to do much in terms of saving all 50 survivors. Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster adds ten new books, and one of them can help you get your survivors back safely.
Hypnotism Tips will give your survivors extra durability. This means they take less damage and are more likely to survive the trip to the Security Room. you’re able to find this book at the start of the game in the Cafeteria.
7Gunslingers Book
Boosts Your Gun Damage
Guns are great against the undead if you get a clean headshot each time. However, pistols can feel somewhat underwhelming if you only land body shots. If you want to become the ultimate survivor, then look for the Gunslingers Book in the Cafeteria where you initially fight Carlito.
This book increases the power of your firearms and is a fantastic book for taking down Psychopaths like Cletus, who won’t let you get close enough to land a melee hit. It also makes handguns more useful.
6Fleetfoot Mixed Juice
Don’t Miss A Scoop Again
Some items that you don’t want to miss includethe mixed juices. One of them is Fleetfoot, which makes you faster while traveling on foot. This can be useful for catching up to the convicts or the Hall family during their boss battles.
You can also use this item to beat the clock when time is running out on you or if you need to leave your survivors in a different part of the mall momentarily. This makes it one of the most useful items in the game.
5Energizer Mixed Juice
Become A Brick Wall For Psychopaths
Another useful healing item is the Energizer drink. This one will help you out if you’re at a lower level but want to take down some of the stronger Psychopaths. Drinking it will protect you from any damage taken for a short amount of time.
This can be particularly useful in boss battles, such as Cliff, who can hit you easily but spends most of his time out of reach or running away. It is also useful against Cletus, who constantly sends you flying backward with his shotgun. So play it safe and drink Energizer.
4The Blending Instruction Manual
Unlock A Secret Game Mechanic
Blending mixed drinks is a powerful mechanic you should be using. However, the blender gets even more powerful once you obtain the Blending book.
This book unlocks brand-new features in the game, which let you mix items together to produce new items. This adds a whole new layer to the game and can even give you access to weapons that you wouldn’t normally be able to get until much later in the game. This makes the book one of the most important items in the game.
3The Mega Buster
Unlock The Best Projectile Weapon
The Mega Buster is one of the best items in the game once you unlock it. This is because it always spawns inside the Security Room after completingthe Zombie Genocider achievement.
The weapon is a powerhouse and can demolish both zombies and Psychopaths alike. you may even bring down the chopper on day three with a few blasts. The mega buster also has plenty of ammo, so you won’t need to pick up another one too often while playing. Pair this with the Mega Man outfit for an accurate cosplay.
2The Laser Sword
The Ultimate Melee Weapon
Another fantastic item in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the Laser Sword. This one will slice through anything with ease but can only be obtained by surviving at least five days in Infinity Mode.
Like the mega buster, this weapon will always spawn in the Security Room once you unlock it, making it one of the best items in terms of accessibility and melee damage. Unlike the original counterpart, this one is yellow with electricity instead of the Star Wars-like blue. If it breaks, you can get another one right away.
1Infinite Ammo Durability Book
The Best New Item
The best item in the entire game is not a weapon but a book. This is the durability book, which only spawns in the Security Room once you complete the Savior achievement.
While holding the book, your weapons will have infinite durability, and your guns will have infinite ammo. This way, you can go the entire game wielding your favorite weapon. So, if you want to play using only a katana, you can do so. If you want to do a pistols-only run, you won’t run out of ammo anytime soon.
