How to Farm Ammo



Exploit the Intensity Director to Farm Drops

The Intensity Director is a spawn organizer for Dead Space Remake which determines when Necromorphs will appear in a room. Necromorphs become more likely to appear each time the player changes rooms, and this works even for leaving and reentering the same room repeatedly.

If you're running low on ammo, you can farm more by repeatedly visiting a room until a Necromorph spawns, defeating it with sparse ammo, picking up the drop, and repeating. You'll just have to be careful not to use too much ammo or take damage, as it could have the opposite effect if you do.

Open Doors and Lockers with Security Clearance

Some doors and lockers require a specific Security Clearance level to open. Although the rewards are modest and not usually enough to merit crawling the map to farm them, if you're returning to an area you've been before, it's worth your time to hunt down some of the Security Clearance doors or lockers you haven't opened yet for additional rewards.

Buy at the Store

Ammo is also available directly at the ship's store if you get the ammo schematics of each weapon. You can buy them using the Credits you picked up during your playthrough, so you can stock up in a pinch.

Note: There may be better methods for acquiring ammo as credits are better used for essential items such as RIG upgrades and weapons first.

Save Ammo

At the end of the day, the best way to earn is to save. Be efficient when killing enemies by using Kinesis to throw explosive canisters, Stasis canisters, or severed Slasher arms instead of using your own resources.

As much as possible, don't miss. And don't forget – cut off the limbs!
