    Pro tip for people looking to be super optimal with resources: upgrading your health also heals you, so consider keeping enough Nodes on hand to get to the next HP upgrade when you really need it. Especially if you're willing to live on the edge and refuse to use healing items at 1HP because "there's a workbench nearby" lol

    I highly recommend doing the side mission that gives you the stasis prototype. You can start it by picking up a tissue sample left behind by the hunter after freezing him. The stasis prototype pretty much freezes enemies rather than slowing them down as well as dealing damage over time. It's insanely strong and very useful against swarms and guardians.

    Can confirm: There are some static ammo drops in various places but mostly from what i can understand, and having finished the game several times, It seems that whatever you have in your inventory gets to have ammo drops. The lower the weapon count the less RNG you have around the ammo type you'd want.
    Running 2 weapons guarantee you having a decent supply of both.
    Bonus: If you use the Foam Finger as a weapon, there are some crates that wont spawn anything, since the foam finger doesn't need ammo. A weird after effect, but that happened to me a few days ago.
    Its also possible to just hard farm by going back to other areas, since the game likes to through enemies at you regardless of your progress. You'll encounter them if you backtrack and you can get drops from them.
    Always remember to stomp bodies friends. They always give you something.

    The battery glitch in chapter 12 can actually be fixed without having to reinstall and delete your saves. I ran into the same issue earlier today when finishing my first playthrough, and I believe it has to do with using the save point just before that section with the 2 guardians on the door (I think it makes the game have trouble rendering the area fully, which includes the batteries). If you save there for whatever reason the batteries never spawn. I reloaded a save I made right at the beginning of chapter 12 and played through the whole section again and didn't save at the point before the guardian door and the batteries were there.

    Question for those who know, did they change how loot drops work in the remake? I remember in the original this challenge was pretty damn doable for 2 reasons.
    1. The Plasma Cutter was actually really strong and could quickly kill most enemies as long as you're aiming for the limbs, 1 leg and 1 arm pretty much killed anything aside from some rare exceptions.
    2. The game wouldn't give you ammo from crates for guns you didn't have. So the game basically always gave you either healing or plasma cutter ammo. Which meant I always had ammo and healing, and anything I found on the floor just got sold, thus I got new suits for better armor.

      The plasma cutter being your only weapon is key.
      The PC is accurate, fast cyclic rate and reload speed, good ammo capacity, and versatile.
      RNG just drops plasma energy 99% of the time because it sometimes gives you force energy for some reason.
      The power nodes meant for extra weapons gets used for the PC and the RiG instead.

    Only using the plasma cutter is a legitimate strat for impossible mode as item drops count against the amount of weapons you have in either inventory and even the storage. That is why it seemed like you were getting so much cutter ammo in the beginning. For anyone who just wants to beat impossible without the other achievement, I recommend only running cutter and flame thrower as they are arguably are the most versatile weapons in the game. Also, with having less guns in your inventory, you can prioritize node usage on less things, allowing these guns to have max-level stats early on, and also allows you to upgrade your suit more.

    I did this in 2008 with the OG. Plasma is unironically the best weapon. It's cheap to buy ammo, it's strong as hell, and situationally it's great in every encounter. If you store every other weapon, you only get drops for that gun too, which means your ammo issues are semi alleviated, as all reaources can go to one weapon.
    If anyone reading this is planning an impossible run, I highly advise you use *at most* only 2 weapons. Either don't pick up the others at all, or bring them to storage and forget they exist. The game won't rando drop ammo for a gun you don't have on you.
    For a second gun, if you feel like you want/need it, I'd advise something like the force gun/ripper. Force gun is a great "get off of me," that also deals with the little crawling things. It's weak, but can come in handy. Ripper is extremely strong upgraded, can deal with the little guys, and it's ammo is a lot cheaper than alternatives. It's also insanely good at dealing with the later stasis necromorphs, which can be a big challenge if you aren't prepared.
    For all of my runs I instantly throw the pulse rifle in the trash. With enough upgrades it's okay, but why waste resources on an "okay," weapon.

    Nothing happens when you make it into the room with Hammond and Chen with the singularity core. You can't interact with them or even die to the core. You just get a closer look. I even picked up the core before the cutscene ended and no softlock or anything 👍

    I remembered the past games that's how the ammo system works outside of specific places that has specific loot, otherwise the game only gives you ammo based on what you have equipped in your inventory slot, and i remembered one way to earn money was having your main weapon and a contact beam equipped so you can get contact beam ammo, which sells for the highest price.

  • @Wikloe
    @Wikloe Před rokem +1

    This is honestly just the most efficient way to do impossible mode. It was that way back in the original, too, as it allows you to maximize your ammo efficiency and not worry about it much past the early 2 chapters when ammo is tight. Honestly, it's that way with all the dead space games. Both 2 and 3's challenge runs are best done with just the plasma cutter as it's the most ammo efficient.

    Its interesting what waifu found difficult on impossible and what I did. He thought early game and endgame was hard due to lack of resources and hoardes of enemies, respectively. I honestly found the beginning to be absolutely RIPE with plasma cutter ammo and by the end, I was so stacked on resources I was basically unkillable (half my inventory was big medkits, the other half was plasma cutter ammo for fully upgraded plasma cutter).
    Honestly the environmental hazards, like the centrifuge, tentacles, asteroid clams, nuke room etc. scared me way more than any enemy encounter ever could.

    I just completed the impossible challenge today. My three main tips are
    1. Flamethrower is essential since enemies peel and weaken easily making the plasma cutter or pulse rifle unmatched.
    2. Stasis is a must always have packs ready and use it frequently. Do the side mission to get the upgraded stasis it’s OP
    3. There’s multiple areas in the game that can be easy Insta deaths. Just remember where they are from previous playthroughs and you’ll be fine. Play a separate hard mode run side by side with the impossible (each chapter back and forth) if needed

  • @joshstone5227

    Make sure to use stasis and stomp to conserve ammo, stomping is stronger than regular melee and can still hit straight in front of you, except you gotta be body to body, root on for Dead space 4 !!!

  • @Tieliva
    @Tieliva Před rokem

    As someone currently going through this exact mix of challenges, currently at chapter 5, this run is teaching me how fucking strong kinesis is in the remake. It's definitely dead space 2 kinesis. Necromorph limbs as weapons are an instant knockdown, fan blades from the vents everywhere can sever limbs in a single throw, and of course the spears are a hard instakill. The first thing I do in a new room in impossible is grab a kinesis weapon as fast as I can and use it to chain more kinesis weapons from enemies. I'm using it more than the damn plasma cutter.

    I heavily relied on stasis as a safety net in dead space 2 impossible . It was a throw back to see you explain that especially because in that immersive atmosphere it was on of the first things I latched onto knowing ammo would be hard to find. I found myself carrying around slasher spiked to get a free high power shot off on the first enemy I saw. It feels amazing clearing a room using only the enemies own body parts as weapons

    I don’t think I wanna try to nab both achievements in the same run, because I really want to have the flame thrower for my impossible run. It makes dealing with certain enemies like pregnants and twitchers so much easier. And with only 2 guns there’s still plenty of ammo drops to keep you going, and enough nodes to max out both weapons + suit.

    I beat the game using only the plasma cutter not knowing about the achievement. I just used it because I knew I'd get more ammo for one weapon rather than splitting between two or more.

    I recently got the One Gun trophy on Hard difficulty and only died about 3 times, none of which were to any of the bosses so I'm pretty confident about Impossible mode. Just using the plasma cutter allows you to focus on the mission instead of worrying about what ammo to buy or what weapons to use. I found it pretty enjoyable.
