Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster: Best Food For Healing

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster has reintroduced the world to the zany, over-the-top zombie smash 'em up. There are so many parts of this title that are hilarious, explosive, and unreasonably gory - with many feeling this is the perfect revival of the floundering Dead Rising series.

But while Dead Rising may be a game filled with ridiculous weapons and crazy plot twists, there are also some mundane and innocuous things to happen upon in the first game. Namely, simple food items that can restore health - not much to look at, but longtime fans of the series know they should take any chance to heal that they can get in these wacky, brutal games - and the latest remaster of the first Dead Rising is no exception.

5 Orange Juice

The Power Of Vitamin C

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Orange Juice

Restores 4 Blocks Of Health

Everyone's favorite, delightfully low-poly fruit drink is making a comeback in the Willamette Parkview Mall. This full bottle of juice heals a very decent amount of Frank West's life and can be found in various areas around the mall. Namely, the Colombian Roastmasters and the Kids' Choice Clothing in Paradise Plaza, in infinite mode, as well as simply scattered around the mall. Finding this orange juice is great if players need to heal in a pinch, but there's another especially important use for this item.

Orange juice is very good for mixed drinks, as it shares a viable combination with nearly every other food type when it comes to utilizing the blender for these special concoctions. This is one of those enduring Dead Rising staples that's been around for almost every title.

4 Coffee Creamer

Milky Goodness Perfect For Blending

Coffee creamer is another item that is fantastic for blending, especially if players want a quick-step, though the randomizer (a sub-par mixed drink, all things considered) is also a fairly prevalent option among the potentially blended drinks. Coffee creamer can be found in Colby's Movieland in infinite mode, and like a lot of food items, can be found in essentially infinite quantities in Seon's Food and Stuff, provided they deal with the friendly manager.

Seon's Food and Stuff holds one of the best boss fights in the game that helped put the first Dead Rising title on the map, but it's important to note that it - along with the endless supplies of coffee creamer goodness - is shut off to the player in infinite mode.

3 Golden Brown Pizza

Few Things Beat This Cheesy Meal

Restores 4 Blocks Of Health

This microwaved-to-perfection Golden Brown Pizza can be cooked by Frank if he has a frozen pizza, and is one of the few interactions players have with the microwaves in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. There have been a lot of large-scale changes to this title from its humble beginnings as an Xbox 360 title, but one thing that is gratifying to see remain the same over time is that this pizza, once cooked, will remain perpetually steaming hot, and the updated graphics make it look genuinely appetizing.

In Infinity Mode, there is no way to get this well-cooked beauty, but there are plenty of frozen pizzas scattered around that can be cooked, so keep an eye out for them while trying to survive in the mall.

2 Wine

Drink Responsibly

Restores 5 Blocks Of Health

Wine in Dead RIsing Deluxe Remaster is one of those rarer food items to stumble upon, but the food court in particular is a gold mine for finding the grape juice of the gods. There's a lot of fascinating utility with wine, especially considering that it's one of the better items in the game for baseline health restoration. Beyond this, throwing a wine bottle at a zombie will kill them, making it good for a last-ditch effort attack.

Players are also able to give Floyd Sanders some wine in a special request titled "Floyd the Sommelier" if they rescued him from Ned's Nickknackery. Among some of the game's more controversial changes from the original title, scoops have had the bulk of their mechanics remain the same.

1 Well Done Steak

Not Cooked To Everyone's Liking, But Worth A Try

Restores 6 Blocks Of Health

The Well Done Steak is an almost vital item for prolonged sessions in both the main Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster storyline and the game's new and revitalized infinite mode. Finding raw meat at the grocery store or around the meat processing area already heals for a surprising 3 blocks of health, but this item heals for more health than any non-mixed drink in the game at 6 blocks of health. Just make sure the item is properly a steak. If Larry Chiang offers the player any, it would be wise to say no.

This is one of those tricky-to-find items in infinite mode with the main source of raw meat - the grocery - being shut off, but players who pick this up as loot from fallen zombies will have a much easier time in this mode.
