Having jogged your memory a bit about this game, we’re now here with some useful Dead Space tips, tricks and hints that any player can follow regardless of where they are in the story.
The first, and most important tip is for you to totally annihilate the Necromorphs by dismembering them. Sounds gruesome, but that’s the way your character rolls, and in most cases it won’t be sufficient to merely pepper them with bullets. You want to try to tear their limbs apart instead, as that guarantees that you’re killing them, and not merely wounding them seriously.
By double-tapping on Vandal, you get to turn him around 180 degrees. This is a useful tactic because it allows you to cover all of the proverbial bases. Those Necromorphs won’t just be charging you from the front; they may also be right behind you or trying to corner you both ways, so make that 180-degree turn to see everything that surrounds you.
This may sound like a pretty common sense tip, but once you’re done with a battle, make sure you’ve reloaded. Surely you wouldn’t want to enter a new encounter without any ammo in your weapons, right?
One quick tip to remember is to never, ever hit the belly of a Pregnant. You may make this mistake at times or you may shoot one by accident, but regardless of why you shot her, that’s going to unleash Swarms that will then jump onto Vandal and make things really, really uncomfortable.
While it’s great to find a new suit for you to improve power and defense stats, it’s even better to boost your health points by fusing your rig. That means doing so with the power nodes, which you’ll find in the cabinets. Finding those power nodes, however, could pose quite a challenge, as the cabinets tend to camouflage themselves in the walls of the Sprawl. Make it a point to find as many power nodes as possible so you’ve got enough to fuse your rig successfully.
