Note and Correction: You can do the same with the ANY gun ammo that you don't use.. This strategy is more applicable on all difficulties up to hard mode. This may not be as viable on Impossible difficulty. There are 6 Levels of suit upgrades. In the Remake there is now more freedom to backtrack to access clearance level doors you could not access before. While backtracking to areas you've been already you will have random enemy encounters so you could also technically farm item drops from those enemies.

If you want health packs to drop you shouldn't heal yourself let your health be in the yellow and the game will throw health packs at you

Dont agree on the suit being pointless you missed the main reason you buy the suit, you need the leaves fod upgrading you statis and trowing damage.

Generous with item drops is a little off. Sure, it is like the previous entries when you stomp and the body drops an item, but for me, it was always credits the enemies dropped, not ammo or health packs.

Buying the suit upgrades outside of the forementioned text, adds additional nodes in the the upgrade path, I'd recommend only upgrading health while low on it, since it'll fill you completely back to full, same can be same for a gun capacity.

This is how I typically run things: -upgrade stasis and kinesis first -suit upgrades -And plasma cutter -ripper -line gun -force gun or contact beam I always upgrade my kinesis for 3 reasons: Ripping limbs off and tossing them back is weapon saver, selling contact beam ammo gives you more credits then usual, then I use the credits for nodes. Remember: Contact Beam ammo takes more credits , so selling them can give you more. Also, make use of your safe. Putting ammo and medkits away and hording makes it just as good as the OG.

From a new Dead Space player, this is super helpful and I wish I'd known this much earlier. I'm chapter 5 and was wondering how I was supposed to be so leveled.

Thank you for the heads up I've been running past the stores I just sold and got so much more space just by visiting. I didn't realize I could also use it for storage and they are located all over I just ran back so far to the last one I bet the next was close.

Contact beam ammo dropped ridiculously often in my first run. It was my main moneymaker. Force energy is better to sell for the price but doesn't seem to drop as often.

I do the same. I sell all of the extra health and force ammo to buy nodes and plans rounds. On impossible, it seems to be giving me mostly pulse so for some reason.

Force gun ammo sells for double contact ammo at $6000 for 15 rds.

Does any of these glitches still work?? Just got ps5 version on sale so just wondering. Played original and remember the endless node glitch too somewhere but not sure if that works in the remake. Could upgrade everything and when done, farm em to sell em for mad credits.

There are certain places or enemies where the item drop is uniform for everyone, like power nodes from brutes or semi-conductor locations. Most item spawns from enemies or in lockers/lockboxes are dynamic and randomly generated. I've played through the remake twice and both times health packs comprised roughly 25% of my finds, with about 80% of this health packs being the smallest possible. Investing in the suit and its health and stasis upgrades early was a must.

Good tips thanks for the info

About the suit, I didn't think the game let you jump to a higher suit without purchasing the one before.

Appreciate it.

Playing the original myself there are some valid point to this guide however you don't really need to buy tech nodes since if you look around you can find 2 or 3 in them boxes round the map area so that spare credits you got you could treat yourself to more ammo or a new suit allowing you to gain more of a yield plus a small percentage of armor when you next return to the shop, however if you're looking to just optimise your setup then settle for level 2 or 3 since the spare slots are just there incase you got more then you can carry but as much as you should focus on the plasma cutter you should also focus on health, last thing you want is to be a glass cannon or yet worse a light snack for the Necromorphs since ya boi Isaac decided to skip the gym and didn't eat his wheetabix this morning.

The game barely drops health kits for me but then again im never below half

How come you carry the rifle though if you have upgraded the cutter so much?

Appreciate this!!!

Thanks 🙏🏾

The best weapon in the game is your kinesis. Upgrading the range at least once is a nice quality of life because you should be using it constantly on hard and impossible. The first suit upgrade you can buy gives you access to more stasis, which is another amazing quality of life upgrade. Stasis and Kinesis are the two best ways of managing ammo and dealing damage quickly and safely. I disagree with skipping suit upgrades. I usually delay the 2nd upgrade a little for more nodes, but eventually it's nice to grab. The proximity mine (aka grenade launcher) is another amazing tool for dealing with clumped enemies and kills cherub babies in half a second. The force gun alt fire also combos with the pulse rifle and contact beam and main fire works as another panic button if enemies get close. While I agree that the plasma cutter is a good jack of all trades, ignoring the other weapons aside from a one gun trophy run feels like limiting yourself for no reason.

Contact Beam weapon, all nodes filled, is awesome against HiveMind in chapter 12! I watched a player take out 3 of the 5 "bulbs" on that beast right from the get go. The remaining 2 were taken out shortly after. Then the necramorphs, followed by the HiveMind body parts to complete the game.

Flame fuel is worth over 5k per slot. Gas inflation has hit Deadspace to lol

damn i love using both the force gun and contact beam lol

So the force gun gives you almost 5K for a full pack, did you mention the contact beam because it comes into the game earlier? I’m not sure how many rounds go into a full contact beam pack at the moment I’m trying to do your trick now I just noticed a head force ammo and I saw the price on a force energy I should say

Very informative

Anyone try and see of those button codes from the original still work?

Not viable for impossible mode where you burn through ammo and supplies.

It would be nice if we could sell nodes again like the other games. I'm on impossible and that 5k credit bump would have and helped allot

Legit from what I saw. Good job

I disagree. I was running with just the plasma cutter on impossible and ran out of ammo. Luckily I was close enough to the store to buy more but eventually I needed to use other guns because I dried up on plasma ammo. Also, that was with me using the environment to try and save ammo. The game isn't always generous with supply drops, especially on impossible (not to mention enemies are tankier too).

This channel is dope af

i coulda sworn i was still getting force gun ammo even though i dont have it with me, can u confirm?

Item drops weren't that generous in OG Dead Space. Is the remake easier?

Nice advices, Sir!

I'm at chap 6.. How do you have so many suites.. I only have the default

Is this good game bg?

Im playing on hard and actually gave up using the plasma cutter early on cause it seemed so useless, I could stasis them and hit them with all well placed shots and still took an eternity and an entire magazine of ammo to kill one basic enemy, I literally have no idea how you would even deal with 3 or 4 of them coming at you with only the plasma. so Ive mostly been sticking with the pulse rifle and using the alt fire... Probably not the best choice looking at your inventory and upgrades, you really playing on hard and got all that shit? I think Ive only had one large health pack drop all game, damn.

You thinking that the pulse rifle is one of the 3 best guns... is insulting 🤣 Line Gun upgraded is OP

In the original Dead Space I used the credit duping bug on the ps3 to become rich.

"Generous with item drops" only if you play like a berserker getting massacred every 2 steps without diyng... At that point the engine recognize that you're having problems and drops more of what you need. In my first normal playthrough I ended the game with over 200k credits, bought all Rig upgrades, all weapon parts, fully maxed both RIG and Plasma Gun, had over 50 spare Power Nodes and over 250 Plasma Gun ammo spare after the boss (was doing the "use only that gun" achievement). ONCE an enemy dropped me a small medi pack because they almost killed me. Ok, I was playing on normal... But I'm playing on Impossible now and still I only drop tons and tons of credits, barely seeing any ammo drops and not a single med pack yet. Guess why? 'Cause I tend stay a healthy way from enemies :3 This "method" you're saying in the video...I'd call it common sense though. "Sell what you don't need or what you'll probably get more of" it's called "inventory management" and I believe it exists for some time now in gaming... And about the exploit that require to upgrade the weapon, and farm ammo to sell... I have to say that it's so tedious that it's almost useless. Probably that's why the devs left it there. Once you get enough credits to actually make a difference, you only want to unistall the game XD

my guy.. suits go up to LV5. you get lvl6 only in ng+, the Advanced Soldier RIG

Only way my bitch ass getting through a game like this and not quitting, is on ez mode. Im gettin all the storage from new suits😂

Wish I came across this video earlier, already bought the 10k suit and put 3 nodes into my suit.

I rarely get medkit or amo drops I mostly get credits

I would say definitely buy at least the first suit upgrade. Not everyone is good at games and that extra hp could help some bad players

Dumb advice, in 8 hours of play I've only ever picked up one level 3 health pack, and I stomp all enemies.

Wait, so I can just buy level 3 suit without buying the first 2?

I still like the pulse rifle for when that freaking arm, grabs you out of the wall and starts dragging you down the whole way. The pulse rifle get you out of there in five seconds or less.

anybody found some item duplications glitches yet😏

You sound just like Morpheus, lol.

Thanks for the video, but some constructive criticism try to tone down how often you say "right" when you talk. It's a bad verbal tick that a lot of people are doing.

the most pointless video on here. just use money glitch to buy whatever you need by selling back ammo from the store while upgrade capacity on the second weapon.
