Well yeah Main and Sub on the left keypad, and Main and Sub on the right keypad. On the left I have a sniper on top and a full auto rifle on bottom, on the right I have the shotgun on the top and the burst sub machine gun on the bottom...

Now its Contact Beam + Pulse Rifle for my main weapon, with an Evangelizer Shotgun + Diffractor Torus as a crowd controller. Contact Beam at full damage can take down a Brute in two shots. I think if I were using a regular shotgun, I'd need a Force Gun to pick up the slack due to its firing speed, but the Evangelizer shotgun as a superior rate of fire.
Now if I could only get my hands on the +3/+3 chips...

Game is really good. The weapon crafting system makes us play again and again, read web tutorials and even comparing the power of the crafted weapons. Two weapons can be carried now with 2 slots each. I use the weapon that came with the Witness Suit, that semi-auto rifle and shotgun. I'm not sure if I can make it full auto since the semi-auto is bad when necromorphs are rushing at you.
The suits are just for fashion, no longer a bonus for using one or another. What I liked is that despite you using materials instead of money you have only one kind of ammunition pack so situations like being constantly out of ammo like in DS2 are not happening. I remember in the final levels of DS2 I had to come back and even sell some weapons since I had no enough ammo to combat enemies. |

I agree that the game is pretty scary, though it's not so much the necromorphs as it its exploring the derekict ships and seeing evidence of how badly things went.
Morphs are legitimately scary, particularly the mutated dogs, but a lot of that scate factor is mitigated by tossing incendiary grenades and shotgunning them.

Is it normal for you to not come across Scav Bot beacon locations for long stretches of time? I just went through the entirety of the Rosetta Lab sections, including its optional mission, without coming across any beacons and the Bots giving a red circle on its indicator screen.

The game is notably more difficult than the previous two, that's for sure. I haven't played above Normal mode in any of the games, but I can go through 1 and 2 without experiencing a single combat-related death. Not so on Dead Space 3.

Pfft my only deaths mainly were god damned environmental deaths on normal mode with one exception being when I foolishly got killed by a pack of feeders because I was trying to kill them with an electric chain saw. Hell even in hardcore mode they couldn't even touch me.

So far my deaths were either environmental (usually during the final run) or against Hunters. And in one case when some lucky fucker hit me with a rocket launcher while I was fending off Twitchers. Either way, more difficulty than I had in DS1 and 2.

I think when I went through the game, the only deaths I had was during the ice climbing, flying through space, and flying through the end of the game during the ancient machine. Other than that I find this game not to difficult even on impossible, though that may be because I upgrade my hit points and armor as a first priority afterwards is the stasis recharge so I no longer need stasis packs. Once those 3 parts are fully upgraded, the game is easy if one has very good awareness and aim.
Also, its best to find the scavenger bot designation, it yield more resources but most importantly it gives you the most ration seals. Ration seals can be spent to give you the best weapon parts and a lot of resources. Though the stuff that ration seals can buy, you can use your real money, but if you are like me who prefer to keep their hard earn money than take time and scavenge. Its well worth it. |

Got me some better weapons and other stuff.
Most of my resources have been going to my RIG. I don't really feel the need to craft new weapons(Using the Planet Cracker and Evangelize rifle with shotgun). I find upgrades for my weapons often enough not to craft any. I'll start crafting seriously once I upgrade what I want on my RIG or get more parts. Which ever comes first. Ammo isn't a problem...me being on casual and all. Going to play Normal though with my friend to make it more fun. Can someone tell me how to upgrade my Scavenger Bot? Every time I send the little guy out he barely brings back anything. Last edited by The Butcher; 2013-02-22 at 12:21. |

Scavenger Bot capacities and scavenge time can only be upgraded via purchased DLC. As for getting more stuff, you really need to set them down at the beacons, otherwise they hardly bring back anything of note.
I'm still trying to get my hands on a Mark V Repeater and Mark V Precision Tip. I keep getting shortchanged in the Epic Weapons pack.

So what are these MK II Overclocked weapon parts? I've seen a few of them in my bench inventory like the frames and the rotator, but is that all?

They typically have some stat buffs. For instance, a Mk-II Scope will do a slight increase in damage ratings, while others can do an increase in clip size, etc.
Using ration seals, you can purchase resource packs that can include up to 2 or 3 Mark 5 parts.
