- "Throw this electric orb at a group of zombies, stand back and watch the light show!"
- —Combo card description
The Tesla Ball is a combo weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It is created by combining a bingo ball cage with a battery.
When used to hit zombies, a huge electric shock is administered. When thrown, it will zap any zombies and survivors that it rolls by. It can be found at the Tinkerbox pawnshop for $35,000. It is a heavy weapon; thus, it cannot be stored in the player's inventory.
The Tesla Ball is one of the hardest combo weapons to make, as the bingo ball cage only appears in a single location (One Little Duck Bingo in the Silver Strip). A premade Tesla Ball, however, can be bought at Tinkerbox right next door.
