Dead Space (2008) Playthrough Part 8 - Round 2

Playthrough of Dead Space (2008).

Will be playing through the game on Hard Difficulty.

Perhaps I should explain my reasoning for not using the other weapons.

Pulse Rifle:
The Pulse Rifle is a very polarizing weapon. Some call it one of the best weapons in the game when fully upgraded. Others call it complete garbage and shouldn't be used at all. I think it's more of a mid weapon. Not great, but also not terrible. I just think there are better options.

Line Gun:
This weapon I'll admit hits hard even when becomes really good when fully upgraded. There are few problems with this weapon though. The ammo takes up way too much space in your inventory (3 per slot). It also takes a lot of power nodes to fully upgrade it. Lastly, it's rate of fire is pretty poor. The Contact Beam I feel fulfills this weapon's role a lot better.

Flamethrower:
This is by far the worst weapon in the game. The weapon and inventory slots hold a lot of ammo and that's the only positive thing I can say about it. The damage output on this weapon even when fully upgraded is really bad. Not to mention in hard vacuum areas, you can't use it at all which hurts its viability even more. Technically you could burn away the tiny pests that occasionally pop up and when they burst out of pregnants, but the Force Gun does that job so much better.

If you agree, disagree, or if you have a preferred loadout for this game let me know in the comments. I'd love to hear your reasoning.

Hope you enjoy!
