The Dead Space remake is a true-to-source, incredibly faithful recreation of the original 2008 title. While tasteful additions and gameplay improvements have been added in the remake, they only enhance the experience further and do not detract from the original horror classic's vision.
As such, one of the several changes in the Dead Space remake are the weapons - overhauled to make them more responsive and just as effective as they were in the original. The game has eight such weapons, with the eighth one being unlockable after completing the game once in the Impossible difficulty.
This article will attempt to rank the weapons in terms of their usefulness and damage. Spoilers will follow.
Note: This list is subjective and represents the writer's opinions.
While gamers can choose from 7 weapons at the end of the campaign of Dead Space (with the eighth weapon being unlocked on a playthrough of the Impossible difficulty), each weapon has its own use and particular advantage/disadvantage. That being said, some weapons are indeed more worth investing into than others, and are listed as follows:
Found within Chapter 4, the Contact Beam is one of the lower-ranked weapons on our list. Despite having its uses and a decent damage output, the Contact Beam has a much slower firing rate and a mediocre upgrade path.
The Force Gun is one of the better weapons in Dead Space and is found in Chapter 6. This unique weapon fires a powerful wave at enemies, easily dismembering them. This gun also can hold in a lot of ammunition per reload, albeit at the cost of a slower firing rate. Using stasis is recommended in combination with this weapon, as is the alternate firing mode, which can trap enemies in a gravity well.
