Dead Space Remake Plasma Cutter Upgrade is Overpowered

By
Dalton Cooper

One particular Plasma Cutter upgrade in the Dead Space remake can make the game’s starting weapon especially overpowered.

Any Dead Space remake players that want to give their Plasma Cutter a serious boost should consider getting the Weighted Blades upgrade for it. The Dead Space remake from Motive Studio is a mostly faithful recreation of the original Dead Space game, and so it retains many of the core gameplay features that were present in the 2008 original.

One of the big features in both the original Dead Space game and the 2023 remake is the ability to upgrade one’s gear. Using nodes that protagonist Isaac Clarke can find strewn about the ill-fated USG Ishimura, Dead Space remake players can significantly increase the capabilities of their arsenal. One of the best weapons to spend nodes on is the iconic Plasma Cutter, easily one of the most useful weapons in the entire game.

The Plasma Cutter in the Dead Space remake is just as powerful as its 2008 original. There is an achievement/trophy for completing the game using only the Plasma Cuter, which is not too difficult, but it’s made even easier if players find the best upgrades. Besides upgrades that players purchase with nodes, there are add-on upgrades players can get for the Plasma Cutter as well. One of these is the Weighted Blades melee upgrade, found in Chapter 8 of the game in the COMMS Maintenance locker room.

The Weighted Blades upgrade for Plasma Cutter is OP from DeadSpace

As seen in a video by Reddit user fallowplot, the Weighted Blades in the Dead Space remake can be extremely overpowered. In the video, Isaac finds himself squaring off against a Brute, known to be one of the deadlier necromorphs in the Dead Space remake. However, with the Weighted Blades, Dead Space remake players can simply smack the Brute into submission. It doesn’t even have a chance to attack Isaac once before he successfully beats it to death.

Needless to say, this upgrade will make things a lot easier for anyone going for the achievement/trophy to beat the Dead Space remake using only the Plasma Cutter. Players could obtain the upgrade in their initial playthrough, and then have a super-powered Plasma Cutter for their New Game+ run.

Besides trying to beat the game with only the Plasma Cutter, there’s a lot more Dead Space remake players can do in their New Game+ run. The Dead Space remake has an alternate ending and new content for players to discover, which makes it even more exciting to go back through than the original game.

Dead Space is out now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.

Dead Space is the perfect remake of

Updated:

Here’s something I try not to remember: dead space is old. Over 10 years if you can believe it; I know I couldn’t when I watched the game after the remake was announced. It’s been a few years since my third, possibly fourth playthrough of the 2008 classic Visceral. The last time I downloaded it was to break into a new sound bar for my TV and — oops — ended up finishing it all. I was immediately hooked again, but I also remember being genuinely surprised by how dated my last run was, my memories of nostalgia colliding with true retro reality. Did it really look so flat? Were these characters really that hammy? It’s been so long that I almost feel like I can’t trust my memory of the original.

Make us whole

Luckily I don’t have to rely on memories anymore because the motives just disappeared and dropped a great remake that proves beyond doubt that dead space was at least 15 years ahead of time. Aside from updating the graphics and sound, Motif barely needed to change anything for this remake. I suspect many people would be fine with a standard remaster; Just overclock it and release it, making it easier to find on modern platforms. But the changes that the remake had had the confidence to turn a classic of its time into an undeniably timeless classic.

I’ve always found video game remakes especially exciting compared to rebroadcasts and awakenings in other mediums, and from now on I’ll point to dead space when people ask why. This is perhaps the best example of how a second attempt, backed up by modern technology and slick, passionate creators, can improve upon something great without overshadowing the original. I don’t think it’s wrong to say that this remake is the best version of Dead Space, but I also don’t know if that’s the right way to say it. It seems to me that the dead space world had more to give and motives interfered with that potential.

In a way, there is a lot of evidence that there was more dead space in the aquarium. It ended up getting a sequel that made some notable improvements and additions, and these have now been retroactively grafted onto the remake. The protagonist Isaac Clarke has a voice and acts with great agency and personality. Zero gravity sections are now free and much more enjoyable. The combat benefits are enormous from the addition of telekinesis rolls, which can turn severed limbs and loose tubes into valuable weapons. None of this felt new when I exploded into dead space in two sessions; It was natural, as if everything was so. The motif has essentially gone back in time and added it to the original game, and it would seem like the studio did it with a time machine rather than modern technology.

New arrivals

It’s amazing how well these additions fit, but what’s more impressive is the brand new content filling this incarnation of dead space. For starters, Ishimura absolutely sings as a seamless interconnected environment. The remake did an excellent job of logically connecting what was once a disparate level and filling those connections with exciting content, making the ship feel a lot more familiar and alive by the end. It’s an immersive SIM class, and it’s only backed up by the Metroidvania-Lite security door system that takes you back to old neighborhoods looking for new loot. Part of me is skipping the old power node resource caches, if only because they led to resource management in a cool study, but I think I can see where the motive is heading.

Director of Intensity working under the hood like a little horror conductor is a crowning achievement here. I want this system to be anchored along with the likes of the Archdoctor Shadow tree. Because systematically generated horror sounds unrealistic. Of course it will become old or predictable, I was afraid. In the same way that you only need to look at your fingers when identifying machine-made art, you will surely see the seams showing too much patterns and see the horror. But no. The motif took on an emotional response that makes horror so compelling and modulates it. fear, relief, and danger are sprinkled like toppings, resulting in a contrast with Ishimura’s edges and not similar to the Nemesis system, albeit on a smaller scale, introducing unique stories into each player’s experience.

Check out our full Dead Space review for more details on what makes this game a sublime blend of fresh, familiar and terrifying.

And side quests! Oh, side quests . Such an elegant way to guide players through the newly expanded story while using the enhanced environment at the same time. And this story reads much better this time around, doesn’t it? The Church of Modology is a more unified theme, the ending is seeded more effectively — and gives some spice through the new game-related alternate ending, and the characters have clearer emotional lines that resonate.

I’m not a game developer, but through this job I’ve learned that video game development is often about getting as close to an idea as possible using the skills and resources available to you. It’s not what you want to do, but what you can do. That’s why a modern remake of an old game is such a promising possibility. The remake is not just what plays as if it were made today, but rather what it would be. Which corners, cut out of necessity, can be restored? What ideas, unrealistic at the time, can be expanded upon? So I don’t want to say that this is just another version of Dead Space The Video Game with better graphics and more stuff. That’s absolutely true, but to me — just a fan who obviously can’t speak for the creators — this is a game that better embraces the idea of ​​dead space by narrowing the gap between what was intended and what could be delivered.
