Dead Rising 2 owners can now make defeating zombies even more gruesome by downloading the Psycho Skills Pack. Psycho Chuck will be a zombie’s worst nightmare as his dark alter ego will make him more difficult to kill and give him a host of buffed up weapons including chainsaws, cleavers, axes and more. Zombies won’t stand a chance.
The Psycho Skills Pack includes a psychotic butcher’s outfit and leather mask which makes chuck more difficult to kill. Chuck will also gain bonus damage from a variety of melee weapons, such as the power drill, chainsaw, machete, crowbar, and more. Check out the movie below for a glimpse at the misunderstood and angry psycho Chuck.
The Psycho Skills Pack is available today, 12 October 2010, on Xbox LIVE for 160 Microsoft Points. The European PlayStation Store will see the pack available from 13 October 2010, for €1.99/£1.59 (±R20). Further packs will be released in the coming weeks.

Sports Theme Pack: Grants damage increase with sports themed weapons, as well as introduces some new sporting death dealers such as golf balls and basketballs which will ricochet off zombies numerous times.

Ninja Theme Pack: A ninja outfit that will grant bonuses to sneaking, reducing the range at which zombies detect Chuck’s presence. He will be harder to grab and be taken down.
