What's with the neg vote? Some ppl!

Also, in that first area before leaving into the open area with the zombies, you can pick up a bucket and some power drills. Combine these for a very interesting weapon as well.

A chainsaw and a paddle (like for a canoe). A Pitchfork and a shotgun. You should put these in the solution.

Neg comments make no sense, solutions are supposed to outline the easiest/quickest way to get the achievement, and this solution does both. Yes, there's other chances to get the achievement, but this is literally right at the start of the game.

Thanks for the support. All I was doing was presenting the quickest way but some people have to fault others to make themselves feel superior. Sucks but sadly that's the way the world works. Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone.

You could try deleting the game and then re-downloading it, that might work(fingers crossed)

Having the same problem with not getting this, maybe it was because I did the demo? I dunno. I even tried playing without a selected storage device and it didn't trigger. I really don't _want_ to delete my save, at least not without knowing for sure if it would work or not.

Also had glitchy sound during the ending cutscenes. Very disappointing. Might be my XBox about to break again though, it also doesn't seem to want to load the dashboard...

Ok, I got it to pop. Deleting your save game should do the trick, but since I didn't want to do that, I dusted off my old 20GB, recovered my profile to it, downloaded the game again, got the achievement, and recovered my gamertag on my bigger HD. At least it works, but a title update would still be nice.

I have had this same problem. If you get the trial, get the ach, then unlock the game, it becomes glitched. I did try deleting the game and redownloading it, and that didnt work. Others across the internet have confirmed that if you use a different storage device, it will unlock. The only problem I have is that I dont have a second storage device, and I dont want to drop a lot of money for a new hardrive or even a flashdrive... Great game though, cant wait for DR2 and Case West!

I understand why people neg'd it. It's a new game and with rushed solution for the easiest achievement in the game.


Doesnt make him any less right though, first thing I picked up was the bat and nails.

Sorry, that last comment was a bit negative. I stayed up all night troubleshooting my xbl connection to get this game. Use this: http://dead-rising.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Rising_2:_Case_Zero_W...

You'll get this achievement on your way to; A bigger taste... in Dead Rising 2: Case Zero

The first combo weapon you'll have the opportunity to create is the Nail Bat, after watching/skipping the intro movies you'll find yourself in a mechanics garage, in this room you'll see a baseball bat leaning against the wall and a box of nails on the floor near them, they're easy to spot because instead of the usual symbols they have a new wrench looking symbol, when you see that sign it means that item can be used to make a combo weapon.

Now while that may be the first weapon you can make, it's certainly not the first weapon you have to make, there a total of 9 different combo weapons and whichever one you choose to make first will pop this achievement.

With that in mind I've linked in a video which shows where to find the items needed for each different combo weapon.

The first Combo weapon you get to make is the Spiked Bat.

When you gain control of Chuck, the first thing you do is go to the garage. Then you grab the baseball bat and the box of nails. after that you bring both of those to the Workbench and Viola!

You could also use the Drill and Bucket in the garage.

A Taste of Things to Come - 10G (Original Achievement)

Difficulty: 1/10

To get this Achievement, you simply need to create 1 of the 9 combo weapons in the game.

Spiked Bat - In the Safehouse where Katey is, you can pick up both the Baseball Bat, and the Box of Nails, then use them both on the nearby workbench to combine them into a Spiked Bat.

Drill Bucket - In the Safehouse where Katey is, you can find a Drill on a shelf, and a few Buckets outside the building where you save. Simply use them both on the workbench near Katey to get the Drill Bucket.

I. E. D. - In the Safehouse where Katey is, you can find a Box of Nails, and a Propane Tank nearby and use them on the workbench to create the I. E. D.

Beer Hat - Go to the Pub/Bar and grab one of the many bottle of Beer lying around. Afterwards you will have to find the one Construction Hat in the game which is located on a rooftop near the Hotel. If you can get onto the roof where Bob is, you can maneuver across the rooftops until you find it (the position is hard to explain, just thoroughly explore each rooftop)

Molotov - Use your Map to find the Department Store (next door to the Pub/Bar, and you will find a bottle of Whiskey in the cooler section near the Orange Juice and Milk. After grabbing a bottle, simply smash a Newspaper Dispenser in the streets to grab a Newspaper and combine them at the nearest Workbench to make a Molotov.

Boomstick - Open your Map and head to the Bar/Pub, once inside you will find a Pitchfork in one of the corners laying on the ground. Grab that and after you have unlocked the door to the Hunting Shop (See the Locksmith Achievement) across the street, go inside and break the glass on the case holding the Shotguns and grab one. Use these together on the Workbench in the Maintenance Room behind the Department Store to make the Boomstick.

Paddlesaw - From the Safehouse, head out to where the zombies are, and straight across the road is a boarded up Sports Store, outside the store on the right side you will find a Paddle. From here run down the road past the Pawn Shop and Bowling Alley until you see a Fountain made out of car tires on the right. In one of the nearby buildings you will find a Chainsaw. Once you grab one, head back outside and next door you will find a small shed-looking Maintenance Room with a Workbench where you can combine these two to make the ridiculously fun Paddlesaw.

Electric Rake - In the same building where the Chainsaw was you can find a Leaf Rake on the ground. After grabbing that, you can run down the road towards the Quarantine Zone where the cars are blockaded and take the last possible left just before it. You will run down a small alley and take a short left at the end to find a dumpster with a Battery sitting on top of it. Grab the Battery and return to the Maintenance Room next door to the building where you got the Leaf Rake to combine them on the Workbench and make an Electric Rake.

Air Horn - In the Safehouse where Katey is, you can walk into the store section of the building and enter the doorway that isn't blocked off to find the ladder leading to the roof. Once up top, you can find a Purple Spray Can on top of an Air Vent. From here use your map (Back Button) and head to the Department Store (you may need to hover the cursor over buildings to see their names, this store is next door to the Bar/Pub). Once you arrive go around the right side to find a few Pylons. Behind the Department Store is the entrance to a Maintenance Room with a Workbench where you can use these two items to make the Air Horn.

The first combo weapon you will make is the baseball bat and nails. It's a given, and the first achievement you will gain. Run to the bat, press to pick it up, then grab the nails. Put them both on the table and it will create the combo and give you your first achievement. See "A bigger taste..." achievement description for all weapon combos.

Can be created at the very beginning of the game. After you start playing, pick up the bat in front of you and put it on the table, then take the pack of nails next to you and return to the table. After you put the nails on the table, there will be a cutscene with the bat and the achievement will be unlocked.
