- "Lead the way with head thrusts that mix fire with blunt trauma!"
- —Combo card description
The Burning Skull is a combo weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It is created by combining a bull skull with motor oil.
In order to get the combo card, Chuck must buy all 14 fortunes at the fortune teller outside of One Little Duck Bingo on the Silver Strip for $1,208,500.
In Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, Frank needs to watch Paddle Party Massacre to unlock the combo card. The fortune teller only gives PP.
It can easily made in the Food Court, as there are two bull skulls to the right of Wild West Grill House next to some motor oil.
This combo weapon is described as:
- "Putting a bull skull on your head and charging around is ok, but it's nothing compared to setting that same skull on fire. Trust me."[1]

Trivia[]
- The prestige point amount given when the combo card is in the player's inventory is 666, which is the "Number of the Beast".
- If worn, the skull shows up in cutscenes.
- The charge attack can be performed without the combo card. If the attack button is held after the player performs a headbutt, Chuck will start charging. The PP value will still be cut in half, though.
- Chef Antoine is actually very weak to this weapon's heavy attack in Dead Rising 2, as it can kill him in a matter of seconds if the player is lucky; even if they only get a few hits with the heavy attack, Antoine can lose up to 25% of his health. This was fixed in Off The Record, with bosses getting invincibility frames if they are attacked too quickly.
- If Chuck has a Power Guitar and uses the Burning Skull's alternate attack, the music and sound effects from the Power Guitar's alternate attack will be played.
