Normal Necromorphs

Normal Necromorphs are the most frequent type of foes you will encounter throughout the game. They are generally easy to take down by dismembering their limbs or tentacles and using explosives.

How to Kill Necromorphs

Dismember Their Arms and Legs

To efficiently take down Necromorphs, you should aim to dismember their limbs or tentacles. Cut off the arms, legs, and tentacles of Necromorphs to maximize your damage output while impairing their ability to move and attack.

Aim for Larger Necromorphs' Yellow Sacs

Dead Space Remake - Aim for Larger Necromorphs
When fighting against larger Necromorphs, like Brutes and Tentacles, focus your firepower toward the yellow sacs on their body, as these are their weak spots. In addition, these yellow sacs are incredibly susceptible to being dismembered, so it's always beneficial to aim for them.

Utilize Kinesis and Environmental Hazards

The USG Ishimura has plenty of objects which Isaac can pick up with his Kinesis Module to use as makeshift weapons. Prioritize using heavy objects, sharp rods, Necromorph slicers, and red explosive canisters to efficiently deal with foes without using up your ammo.
