6 best ways to earn credits in Dead Space remake

The Dead Space remake is finally here and fans can step into the shoes of Isaac Clarke by exploring the stranded ship, USG Ishimura. The game’s visuals are remade from the ground up and bring the dreaded corridors to life. To survive the onslaught of necromorphs, players must possess the best tools in their arsenal.

Credits are a form of currency in Dead Space that can be used to even the odds. These can be earned from defeated enemies, breaking the boxes scattered around the ship, selling some items, and more. One cannot underestimate the use of purchasing ammo, RIGs (these upgrade Isaac’s suit), and nodes. These can be bought from the in-game store using credits.

The Dead Space remake has some unique weapons but you may not wish to use them all. Therefore, you can sell their ammo to earn a lot of credits.

Do keep in mind that you must keep the guns in your inventory even if you are not using them. Otherwise, you won't be able to pick up thier ammo. There are some items as well that are specifically made to be sold at the store.

Stomping is more than just an attack. You can also double-check a dead necromorph and it will surely pop out bits of credits, medical supplies, or ammo. This will yield a lot of the currency in the long run.

6) Make use of Kinesis

Feel free to leverage Isaac’s Kinesis ability to pull these items towards you and examine them closely. This trick will not only help in gaining some extra credits but also provide you with ammo and medical supplies.

The Dead Space remake features multiple difficulty options to give new players a chance to dip their toes in the franchise, and it has garnered a lot of praise for delivering on the promised scares. The visuals are also up to the mark and amp up the creep factor that slingshot the original Dead Space to cult status in the survival-horror genre.

The Dead Space remake was intended to deliver the best visual experience, which prompted EA Motive to release it exclusively on next-gen consoles and PC. This decision has paid off with flying colors as the game is genuinely scary, with an excellent sound design to complement the atmosphere.
