Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster: Best Small Chainsaw Build

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent slaying digital undead, I must say that the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster has brought back fond memories and added some much-needed polish to an old favorite. The Small Chainsaw, once a trusty companion in my zombie-slaying arsenal, still holds its own as the best melee weapon in the game.


The Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster brings back Capcom’s wild zombie-themed adventure in a revamped form, boasting enhanced visuals while preserving the quirky, offbeat essence of the original game. Some bothersome aspects, like escorting survivors, have been streamlined for a smoother gaming experience. Additionally, protagonist Frank West now advances levels more rapidly, reducing the need to restart frequently to reach the maximum level.

Players who have played Dead Rising before will recall that the Small Chainsaw stands out as the top melee weapon in the game, and this sentiment still holds true. Its combination of speed and power surpasses any other boss weapon in terms of performance. Use it to swiftly slice through hordes of zombies with a single strike. Interestingly, the Small Chainsaw is the only weapon that can be enhanced up to three times by collecting specific books. By gathering all the appropriate skill books, the Small Chainsaw’s power increases significantly and can eliminate an astonishing 2,160 enemies before it breaks. Follow this guide to find out how to obtain the Small Chainsaw and which books should be equipped alongside it.
