Dead Rising 4: 10 Reasons It's The King Of The Zombie Genre

4. Crafting Weapons To Stay Alive, Taken To The Extreme

Everyone recognises a plank of wood with a nail through it or a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire as staples of the zombie genre, but what about strapping a couple of chainsaws to a paddle, before using it to pirouette through the masses like a tornado of gasoline-powered death?

Dead Rising 4 ups the ante even further with the likes of the Blambow, a crossbow that shoots fireworks, an elementally-infused electrified axe or ice sword, and the Exo Suit that allows you to pick up cars and giant pipes to batter scores of enemies at once.

Part of the reward for playing a Dead Rising game across its entirety is this constant rollout of unique weapons and items - something Dead Rising 4 has doubled down on more than ever. All that's left is to get exploring and see what you can find!
