How to Upgrade Weapons

Spend Power Nodes at a Bench to Upgrade Your Weapon

To upgrade your weapons in the Dead Space Remake, simply head on over to an available Bench station and interact with it. Spend your Power Nodes to upgrade the different stats of your chosen weapon. These upgrades often range from Damage, Reload Speed, and even Rate of Fire.

Expand Bench Upgrade Trees Using Special Weapon Upgrades

As you progress through the game, you will start encountering special materials called Weapon Upgrades that expand the Bench Upgrade Trees of their respective weapons. Bring these items back to a Bench in order to unlock more upgrades for your weapons.

Note: Weapon Upgrades can either be purchased from the Store or looted while exploring. The latter method will sometimes require you to raise your security clearance in order to access locked areas of the ship.

Use Credits to Reset Power Node Upgrades

If you aren't happy with your weapon's current upgrades, you can spend Credits in order to return all of the invested Power Nodes back to your inventory. You can do this for any upgraded weapon however, as the action suggests, this downgrades the weapon back to its base stats.
