"Deliver the touch of death."

—Combo card description

The Reaper is a combo weapon in Dead Rising 2: Case West and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It is created by combining a Sickle with a Katana.

The Reaper is one of the most powerful and lethal melee weapons, capable of killing anything short of a hazard unit faster than any other weapon, excluding the Shotgun. This makes it the weapon of choice against some of the toughest enemies in the game, such as the sole psychopath in Case West, Harjit Singh.
