Dead Space Remake Unlimited Credits

[Demetrius Dade]

Ifyou hope to stay alive for long in Dead Space, you will need to earn some coin. Credits are the galactic standard currency, and even aboard a ship infested with Necromorphs, you'll need plenty of spending power to back up your firepower.

Before long, you'll be locating all kinds of containers. Cargo crates line the decks, and lockers will often contain valuables including cash. If you make clever enough use of the kinesis technique, you can even pull free thousands of credits that would not have been in reach otherwise. Think of it like playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and busting out one of Link's strange magnetic skills, except you're doing it near-constantly to comb every area, and also it's dark and dreary and everything wants you dead.

Stomping on Necromorph corpses can produce credits, which is a bit funny until you consider you're stepping on what's left of human beings who carried the money with them in their pockets before their harrowing end. Then it's just sad. Waste not, want not.

Additionally, you'll doubtless run into instances where a new weapon just isn't clicking with you. The ammunition available strewn throughout the Ishimura for it won't do you much good, then, so don't be afraid to sell ammo left and right if it pertains to a gun you have no interest in. This is probably the peak money-maker, though in a survival horror game like Dead Space, where resource scarcity plays a vital role in its mechanics, it might not seem readily apparent how handy it is to just get rid of stuff.

Of course, you could just constantly stock up on medical packs and call it a day. Staying alive is the name of the game. But there's more, much more, that you should focus on acquiring in Dead Space.

Not only do RIGs enhance Isaac's resistance to damage, effectively increasing the number of hits it takes before you get a game over; they also increase the number of inventory slots available to the player, so in a sense, you technically can't 'just stock up on medical packs and call it a day', after all.

Nodes are nearly as pivotal as RIGs. They're used in several ways, including upgrade-crafting weapons and even those hard-earned RIGs. Think of them as the one-size-fits-all crafters' kits.

If you've got the spare credits, by all means, go for it. Just remember, you'll find these by the buckets all over the ship. But then, ditto on the credits. Just try not to blow the budget on these, since you never know when you might need another node.

Players discover an infinite node and credit glitch inside the Dead Space Remake, essentially giving them an unlimited source of upgrade materials. After a lengthy time on the shelf, the Dead Space franchise has seemingly been reborn thanks in large part to the efforts of EA Motive. The recently released remake of the first game not only brings back protagonist Isaac Clark, but improves on the original experience with an all new visual engine and updates to certain less than favorable gameplay segments like the Zero-G sections.

Prior to the game launching, both EA Motive and Electronic Arts made sure that fans were well aware the Dead Space is not a 1:1 remake of the original game. While both the original 2008 title and this remake are very similar, EA Motive made a number of changes outside of those reworked Turret and Zero-G sections. For example, Dead Space 2 voice actor Gunner Wright has returned to voice Isaac, which gives more opportunity for story beats with his backstory and relationship to Dr. Nicole Brennan. However, for all of the changes made, one player friendly glitch has seemingly survived the move to next gen hardware as well.

Over on the Dead Space subReddit, players have found a favorable glitch that essentially gives players free credits and nodes. Originally discovered by Mrthrowawaymcgee, the technique to pull this off has recently been put into visual form by TyberZann191 for players who want to see it in action. In order to get started, players will first need to have at least 7 power nodes, 15k credits, and a safe location away from Necromorphs in order to pull this off. Due to the ever-changing conditions set by the Tension Director, players will likely want to head to the workbench by the tram at the end of Chapter 1.

With a Pulse Rifle at full ammo and completely resetting its upgrade path at the work bench (then purchasing the first node again), players can empty it on the ground by using the alternative proximity mine fire mode and then picking it back up. Unlocking the nodes refills the weapon completely, so players won't have to worry about running out of ammo and can continue this process until all nodes are used. Then, head to a store and sell the excess ammo, which ultimately nets a profit of around $4,000 each time, to which players can purchase additional nodes and then repeat the process.

It's unknown if EA Motive will eventually patch this glitch out of the game, though Mrthrowawaymcgee does attempt to justify it by saying Isaac is an engineer which naturally makes him a resourceful and crafty individual. Either way EA Motive does have updates coming down the pipeline, including an upcoming Dead Space patch to fix some of the visual issues with the game.

I recently decided I want to attempt a Hardcore run through Dead Space 2. I knew there were certain duplication exploits, but the only ones I knew of either required you to repeatedly save and quit (making them useless for Hardcore mode), or so time-consuming, that they really weren't worth the effort (the DLC Detonator mine trick).

In this video, Twerly222 refers to somebody else having made their own video showing off the trick first, but don't worry; you don't need to watch it, as he covers everything and makes the process faster.

I spent about 3 hours today getting 261 power nodes (enough to upgrade absolutely everything in the game), and 300,000 credits. Sure, it's tedious, but do what I did, and stick some podcasts on or something. Also, it's quicker if you don't plan on upgrading every weapon/don't want as much cash. Also, if you do have any DLC weapon packs, the process for getting credits is shortened considerably, but I'll explain that a bit later.

1) Practice this trick on Casual first. Save before you do it, so you can reload if you make a mistake. There are a several steps to follow, which must be done *exactly* as you see in the video. If you do mess it up while playing Hardcore, the trick won't work, and you'll have to start the game over from the beginning. Considering how many cutscenes there are in chapter 1 (the intro alone is a good 10 minutes), you don't want this.

2) This trick only works with power nodes and credits. As soon as you pick up anything that goes into your inventory slots, the credit clip and power nodes will stop reappearing. Upon starting the game and taking control of Isaac, feel free to pick up items up until you reach the room with the balloons. From this moment on, do not pick anything up other than what you're duplicating, until you are satisfied with what you have, and are ready to move on. Unfortunately, this means you can't duplicate the Gold Semiconductor that the boss drops.

4) After you've decided that you're finished, there's a store and bench in the next room after the crawlspace. After that, there's a hallway with a Necromorph playing dead on a moving floorway, and a save station. DON'T BE CAUGHT OFF-GUARD BY THIS NECROMORPH. KILL IT BEFORE IT KILLS YOU. If you die before saving, you'll have wasted a huge amount of time.

5) I recommend saving at the save station I mentioned above. Sure, it's very early in the game (chapter 2), but do you really want to take the risk of having to do the trick all over again? Look at it as having one less save point that normal, but in exchange for being able to fully upgrade everything you want, and having a ton of credits. Also, upgrade your weapons/RIG/stasis before saving, so you don't have to do it again if you die (it also makes dealing with the necromorph safer).

6) HAVING ANY OF THE WEAPON DLC PACKS MAKES THIS TRICK A LOT FASTER. Unfortunately, I only realised this immediately after spending nearly two hours duplicating credits (I do have some DLC), but there's a much quicker way of generating cash than duplicating the 1,000 credit clip. Instead, after you've duplicated enough power nodes to fully upgrade everything you need, continue duplicating more, being aware that you'll be losing these ones. Once you progress through the crawlspace, you can buy DLC weapons (they cost nothing), fully upgrade them, and then sell them. You can't sell power nodes directly, but you get 5000 credits for each power node attached to the weapon.

As an example, a fully upgraded DLC plasma cutter requires 18 power nodes, and sells for 90,000 credits. So instead of having to duplicate the 1,000 credit clip 90 times, you only have to duplicate a power node 18 times. You can keep rebuying, upgrading, and selling the DLC weapons so long as you have enough power nodes, so make sure you have enough power nodes ready when you go through the crawlspace.

"Upon starting the game and taking control of Isaac, feel free to pick up items up until you reach the room with the balloons. From this moment on, do not pick anything up other than what you're duplicating, until you are satisfied with what you have, and are ready to move on. Unfortunately, this means you can't duplicate the Gold Semiconductor that the boss drops."

Just to clarify: you start a new game with the intention of doing this trick. You can pick items up until you reach the room with the balloons, as seen in the video (and I'm not referring to one of the times you revisit this room; I mean the very first time you reach it). You do not pick *anything* up from this point on, other than what is shown in the video. Using kinesis to move stuff about is fine, but do not actually collect anything.
