Attachment modules add all types of unique effects to the gun, including elemental damage, increased ammo, automatic reloads, and more.Īs you might have heard, Dead Space 3 features microtransactions because, obviously, all of the console gamers who played the first two games want to spend more money on top of their $60 retail purchases. And finally, each gun has two attachment slots. The type of frame you built your gun on will determine how many circuits are available (up to eight max). Then you can add circuits to increase or decrease a weapon’s stats (damage, reload speed, clip size, firing rate).

Likewise, you can turn a Military Engine into one of several assault rifle, sniper, or shotgun variations.

For instance, a Pneumatic Torch engine will become a flamethrower with a Default Tip, and a Cryogenic Torch with a Precision Tip. Weapons can have up to two engines attached (so two guns in one), and then the type of tip you combine with that tool will determine its effect. You’ll need resources, which are found on dead enemies, in containers and loot chests, and scattered around levels to craft weapons (and upgrade your suit). Dead Space 3 is less survival-horror and more dungeon-loot crawl, which coincides with an all-new weapon crafting system.
