Dead Space 2 Guide › Essentials › Tools of the Trade

Suits

Suits

As you progress through the Sprawl, you can purchase new suits. Most will require you to find the schematic first.

Hospital Clothes

You begin the game without a suit. You must get through most of Chapter 1 wearing just hospital clothes. These provide no special abilities or protection.

Engineer Suit

Near the end of Chapter 1, you must use the first store to purchase the engineer suit. This allows you to operate in vacuums, increases your inventory to 10 slots, and increases your armor by 5 percent. This suit has no special ability.

Note

Whenever you purchase a new suit, you get the increased number of inventory slots and armor. Therefore, even if you purchased a suit with 15 slots and 10 percent armor and changed back into the engineer suit, you would retain the 15 inventory slots and 10 percent armor. Therefore, always buy the latest suit and then wear whichever one has the special ability you want.

Security Suit

The schematic for the security suit is located in Chapter 4. When you find it, return to the closest store and purchase it. This suit provides 15 slots for inventory and 10 percent armor. In addition, when using the pulse rifle, the damage you inflict is increased by 5 percent. This is a good improvement over the engineer suit, so put it on immediately.

Vintage Suit

You can find the schematic for the vintage suit in Chapter 8. This suit increases the number of inventory slots to 20 and increases your armor by 15 percent. In addition, you get a 10 percent discount when purchasing items at the store.

Issac's Log

If I was going to purchase things at the store and was not wearing this suit, I first changed into the vintage suit, made my purchases, and then changed back into the suit of my choice. While this took extra time, it did save me some credits, which really add up when purchasing expensive equipment or several items.

Advanced Suit

The schematic for the advanced suit is in Chapter 11. The advanced suit is expensive, but worth every credit you pay for it. This increases your inventory to 25 slots and increases your armor to 20 percent. It also provides a stasis bonus—your recharge time for the stasis module is reduced by 10 percent. Get this suit as soon as you can.
