The Z.A.R (Zombie Assault Rifle) is a combo weapon in Dead Rising 3.
It can be created by combining an assault rifle with a shotgun. The blueprints are found inside the Los Perdidos Police Department.
The Z.A.R comes with a standard magazine size of 40 rounds, which can be increased to 80 rounds through upgrades to Nick's attributes.
The weapon alternates between firing its shotgun and assault rifle barrels; one trigger pull discharges the assault rifle, while the next fires the shotgun. The shotgun blasts inflict fire damage upon enemies, while the assault rifle delivers a precise single shot. Both attacks deal significant damage, making the weapon highly effective for handling both small groups of zombies and many of the game's psychopaths.
Trivia[]
- Although the weapon is initially created by combining an assault rifle with a shotgun, it can also be assembled from any other two firearms through upgrades, including flare guns or paintball guns.
- Interestingly, when Nick fires the assault rifle part of the Z.A.R, he cocks the shotgun section of the weapon. This could be interpreted as Nick preparing the shotgun component, however.
- If this weapon is given to survivors, they will always fire the assault rifle in single-shot mode and never use the shotgun rounds.
