10 Video Game Rewards You Unlock For Doing Completely Mundane Things
9. Mix Juice, Survive The Apocalypse - Dead Rising
Food is the key to your character's survival in Dead Rising. It can be used to restore his health, and having a couple of food items in your inventory is always a smart choice, especially if you have to brave the hordes of zombies or get into a boss fight.
Most of the time, grabbing the first snack in sight seems like a smart option, but if you're not in a particularly overwhelming situation, taking a little bit of your time to do some actual meal prep can turn out to be incredibly beneficial.
You see, Dead Rising has a juice-mixing mechanic that allows the player to use blenders scattered all over the Willamette Mall to turn ordinary fruits and vegetables into powerful drinks with special effects. Each type of juice restores significantly more health than the food items it's made out of and provides the player with a unique ability.
These abilities include stuff like breathing fire, running extra fast, and even becoming fully invincible for a short period of time. It may seem weird, but then again, this is the same franchise that lets people make lightsabers out of flashlights.
