Dead Rising/Weapons

There are about 250 usable weapons in the Xbox 360 game Dead Rising. This is the list I have managed to make so far. Contributions are nesercarry. Alphabetal order is preferable.

Baseball
Instantly recognisable as one of the classic zombie weapons, the baseball bat is effective. Frank swings it horizontally, attacking multiple foes at once. However, the bat breaks comparatively quickly.

Bench
The bench is an excellent ramming weapon. Frank West picks up the bench by the end and charges towards the enemy like a battering ram, knocking over a large number of enemies and causing moderate damage.

Chainsaw
Usually found in hardware stores, the chainsaw is petrol driven,so has to be switched on to do the terrible damage it is capable of. I runs out of petrol quickly.

Frying Pan
The frying pan is used to club enemies. It can be placed on a cooker to heat it up to do extra damage.

Golf Club
The golf club comes with some golf balls. Frank hits one, and a golf ball hits a targeted foe. The attacks can be powered up by depressing the attack button. This can be found in the sporting stores.

Hunting Knife
The Hunting Knife is used with highly effective swipes. The weapon is effective, but with short 'killing distance', leaving Frank prone to being surrounded. These are common items found easily in every area. They are most commonly found in the hands of yellow Trench Coat zombies (Fromerly Cultists).

Shotgun
The Shotgun is a powerful gun as most would know it. When it shoots it can take out several enemies because of it's range. But as it is powerful at close range, it is considerably weaker if shooting at enemies from afar. The Shotgun is one of the best guns to have around as it can take out many zombies easily making it useful in escaping or clearing a path. They can be found at the "Huntin' Shack" in the North Plaza.

Sniper Rifle
The Sniper Rifle is a useful weapon for taking out bosses. Like most Sniper Rifles the gun is good at long distances. Although the gun is prefered for bosses rather than Zombies. The reason being that zombies are quite easy to kill with any weapon, whereas the Sniper Rifle only shoots one bullet at a time. It is not useful for clearing crowds of zombies thus it is often best to save the snipers for the bosses that need many strong hits to take down.

Small Chainsaw
The weapon used by Adam the Clown. It is like a chainsaw except it is much smaller and is just as strong. It also lasts longer. This item is respawnable in the same area. This item is one of the only ones that can be strengthened three times as much (When picking up three types of magazines. They are the Entertainment magazine, the Enginering Magazine, and the Criminal Biography Magazine. With these three in effect the player can kill over 3,000 zombies).
