Dead Rising 2 features four skills packs, also known as paradise packs, premium sets of clothing that grant the player special abilities when worn. They were originally available as pre-order bonuses and later became available for purchase on the Xbox Live Marketplace, Games For Windows Live, and PlayStation Network stores in October 2010.[1][2] Each of the four skills packs feature different attribute bonuses and unique skills. In order to play a game with someone who owns a skills pack, you must download the Free Pack for that pack from XBLM, GFWL, or PSN. Four new skills packs are introduced in Off the Record, which were released from October to November 2011.

Skills packs[]

v · d · e

Skills packs are downloadable costumes that can be found in the Safe House restroom clothing locker.

For Dead Rising 2, the Ninja, Psychopath, Solider of Fortune, and Sports costumes were first offered as pre-order bonuses. After October 12, 2010, a player could purchase these costumes. These costumes can be used during co-op.[3][4][5] Off the Record separates these four costumes' parts and scatters them throughout Fortune City for Frank to find or unlock.

For Off the Record, the Cosplay Warrior costume was announced as a pre-order bonus on July 21, 2011. The Cyborg, Fire Fighter, and Barbecue Chef were not offered as pre-order bonuses and are only available as DLC.
