"Unleash this ruthless wasp against the zombie menace!"
—Combo card description

The Wingman is a secret combo weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It is created by combining a queen with nectar.

The Wingman is a queen that has been altered to attack zombies instead of infect humans, and is distinguished by its golden glow. It is kept in a jar upon being crafted, which can be opened to release the queen. It will then follow the player, stinging nearby zombies and causing their heads to explode.

Crafting the Wingman will award the player the secret achievement/trophy Tape It or DIE!.

Trivia[]

Dead rising wingman 5 following chuck (1)

Maximum number of Wingmen (5) following Chuck

  • The player can have up to five Wingmen follow them at once.
  • If the player has a shotgun out (or any other firearm) while a Wingman is active, it will not lose any durability and can kill zombies for an unlimited amount of time. If the player drops or swaps the firearm, then the Wingman may disappear if it is attacking. A shotgun can be acquired from the guards on the tiki statue in the Yucatan Casino or at the Fortune City Arena, and there are always two at the High-Noon Shooting Range.
  • If a visiting co-op player makes a Wingman and then leaves the game, the Wingman will remain. It will respawn in the new area every time the host player changes areas. However, it will not follow the host player, nor will it fight if zombies approach it.
  • The Wingman can slow down gas zombies, but cannot kill them.
  • Considering that this combo weapon creates a golden version of the queen bee, it is most likely a reference to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past's secret Golden Bee, that assists in killing enemies when released by the player.
  • The weapon appears to work by feeding a queen wasp the nectar mixed drink, as a yellow fluid can be seen at the bottom of the jar.
  • The combo card for the Wingman is one out of only two cards that are automatically given to the player upon creating the weapon, the other being the Spiked Bat.
  • As a secret combo weapon, neither the nectar nor the queen are labeled with the wrench icon that other combination items are seen with.
  • The Wingman does not disappear when the player enters the Safe House, even though weapons cannot be used there.
  • A glitch can occur where only the scratch card for the Wingman will be unlocked upon its creation.
  • In Case Zero and Case West, the player can obtain queens and make nectar, but the Wingman cannot be made.
  • This item is destroyed when thrown.[1]
