Isaac Clarke is an engineer to be reckoned with in Dead Space Remake, but it’s not just his combat skills and stasis that get him through the Ishimura. A vast and effective arsenal is all the more important, with various engineering tools refashioned as weapons having a surprising effect against foes. You may wonder if you have every tool Isaac can use at your disposal, let alone how they work. Here are all weapons you can get in the Dead Space Remake.

Every weapon in Dead Space Remake uses a different type of ammo, meaning you’ll need to either find or purchase ammo for that specific weapon if you want to use it. You’ll also need to upgrade each item individually, meaning you won’t max out every weapon on a first playthrough. Still, this provides Isaac with more than enough firepower for whatever job needs to be done.
