The Merc Assault Rifle is a weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
The Merc Assault Rifle can be combined with an Electric Chair to create the Blitzkrieg.
The firearm only comes with a 30-round magazine, so it's best to conserve ammo by firing in short bursts. Players should be cautious at how and when they use this firearm as holding the trigger down will have the gun eating through the ammo in mere seconds without much accuracy.[1]
The merc assault rifle’s strength is in short controlled bursts that will deal a hefty amount of damage without sacrificing accuracy. This is a powerful weapon to use against psychopaths as well as the mercenaries themselves. The merc assault rifle is a preferable weapon of choice over both the shotgun and the handgun.[1]
It can be taken from any mercenary the player kills. After the battle with TK's helicopter, it will be found by the elevators just as Chuck enters the Fortune City Hotel.[1]
