How long is Dead Space?

How long is Dead Space? How long will you be trapped in this deadly station? How many chapters are there and what is the difference between the “story only” experience and the experience you are 100% committed to completing? Our page covers it all, so you know how much fear you can fit into your work week.

Tips and Tricks

Do you find yourself stuck? Tired of running out of ammo? Can’t find the best way to fight the alien horror? Our Dead Space tips will help you grasp the game and related systems. Take them seriously and you’ll eventually find yourself ripping up the worst threats before they can even start their first scream.

Weaponry

Where are all the Dead Space Weapons and which ones are the best? Isaac’s arsenal ranges from shockwave shotguns to sawblade projectors and laser beams, but considering ammo is scarce, what should you actually focus on? Below we’ll cover the best weapons in Dead Space and where you can get them.

Suit and gear upgrades

Want to be armored with all the Dead Spacesuit Upgrades and related schematics? Isaac’s Rig is pretty wild to begin with, but there are six levels to work through and each has its own requirements to unlock accordingly.

Security check

As you explore the game, you’ll find doors, safes, and lockers that require varying degrees of security clearance to get in. It’s worth doing though, so in the provided link we’ve explained how to get the Dead Space security clearance at each level!

Master Override and Crew Towers

Halfway through the game, you’ll be given the No Entitlement side quest where you’ll find seven crew Gear around the game to get the special Master Override that unlocks some of the best treasures in Ishimura. Use our guide on Dead Space crew towers and Master Override to get it for yourself!

Gas Station key card

Stuck on refueling Ishimura’s engines? You need a Dead Space Gas Station key card! Hidden in an easily concealed dead end, we’ll also show you where to find it, what you can do with it, and which doors it will break.

Centrifuge puzzle

Isaac is an engineer, so you logically need to fix things from time to time. The Dead Space Centrifuge is the first example of this; It’s a confusing anti-gravity thing where rotating clutches are a puzzle for any novice player. Our page solves the problem and shows you what powers you will need to get the centrifuge running again.

Deck Systems key card

If you’re feeling trapped in hydroponics, it may be because you haven’t yet found the Dead Space Deck Systems keycard, which is an integral part of electronics you can use to control and advance local systems. If you’re feeling stuck, check out the attached map where you can find this essential ingredient.

Communication Sequence puzzle

Isaac is back in business because this time it’s the Dead Space Communications Array that needs to be fixed after a bout of sabotage. Below is a complex puzzle about creating a builder-to-array path using preset parts and connectors and solving how to put them together along the way. For those who feel understandably confused, our Comms Array puzzle solution will instantly take advantage.

Z-Ball Awards

AIM! Z-Ball is a weird little mini-game that you can find in the later stages of the game, sporting anti-gravity and telekinesis, where you soar through the air to swing balls. But is it worth the hassle, especially when tentacled babies are shooting at you? Our page on Dead Space Z-Ball rewards will help you understand what awaits any sports champion.

Pointer

Much of this game’s plot centers around the Red Marker, a strange, haunted statue that is probably not dangerous in any way. For those who want a spoiler-filled explanation of what the marker is, how it works, and where it came from, our summary of the Dead Space Marker will provide everything you need.
