The Dead Space Node Upgrade System is one of the most strategic elements within the game. This system allows players to upgrade their engineer Isaac Clarke’s weapons and armor, health, and stats in order to survive in the hostile environment. Here are some of the best node upgrades to get:
By upgrading these nodes, players are able to better prepare Isaac for the dangerous environments he faces. With the right nodes, Isaac will have the weapons, health, and stats necessary to survive the harsh conditions of Dead Space.
Other node upgrades that can be applied in Dead Space include engineering upgrades, such as weapon upgrades, squad upgrades, stasis upgrades, and hack and spread upgrades. Engineering upgrades allow Isaac to craft items such as plasma cutters, the line gun, and ripper blades with resources. Squad upgrades enhance Isaac’s squad-mates’ stats and abilities. Stasis upgrades will increase the effectiveness of stasis and allow Isaac to use stasis more efficiently. Lastly, hack and spread upgrades allow Isaac to gain access to restricted areas and cause chaos throughout the game.
