Trivia

 * In the PC game file items.txt, regular damage for every weapon is listed under "AttackDamage0". For weapon damage for throwning items, the damage is listed as "MaxProjectileDamage". See Modify weapons for more information.
 * Dead Rising 2 producer Shin Ohara stated in an interview:
 * "Blue Castle has come up with crazy ideas like the beer hat and paddlesaw. Our team in Japan wouldn’t be able to come up with those. We have to give a lot of credit to them for creating all of these weapons. Blue Castle has a guy who specializes in weapons. That’s all he thinks about everyday. He has fun everyday thinking about these weapons....That’s one good thing about working with them. They have some crazy ideas, some I guess Western ideas, North American ideas, we wouldn’t normally think of...most of the weapons they came up with that were really violent, crazy, and gory we liked them and they’re in the game right now."
 * "People can look forward to Capcom-ish...items, just like Dead Rising had."
 * "The way Japanese people use duct tape is to maybe tape a cardboard box and that’s about it. Americans use duct tape for lots of things so it makes sense for Chuck to use duct tape to combine two weapons rather quickly without using screws or wrenches. It was a fast way and it fit the Dead Rising world."
 * In a review:
 * "The biggest new feature that Case Zero brings to the table is, of course, the combo weapon system, where two items can be combined to form a super-weapon of zombie destruction. In order to prevent this sort of system from getting out of hand, it seems that the only combinations a player can make are the ones that are the most absurd and visually entertaining. Also, this system only appears to be one level deep, meaning that you cannot do something even more awesome like combine the paddlesaw with motor oil in order to create a fire-paddlesaw."
 * There are no Gumball Machine, Hanger, Hockey Stick, Shampoo, Shower Head and Sniper Rifle in common areas, only in stores.
 * Template:Strength 2 is a list of the strength of all Case Zero weapons created before the official dead rising guide was released, which had the strength of all weapons. This list will not be expanded further and is only retained to check the validity of the strength figures in the official guide.
