There are seven unique weapons in Dead Space Remake (2023). In this guide we brought up what we think is the best loadout in the game. Read on to learn which weapons pair best, as well as the possible combos you can do with each loadout.

Best Loadout in Dead Space Remake (2023)

Crowd Control and Fast Dismembers

For a survival-horror game the best weapons to use are weapons that can keep swarms of enemies away, and instantly deal with enemies near you.

This is the loadout that we consider as the best all-rounder for all encounters including boss fights and special necromorphs.

Best Weapon Loadout
Plasma Cutter	Line Gun	Pulse Rifle	Force Gun
Combo
▶ Fire at enemies with Force Gun's primary fire ▶ Use Force Gun's alternate fire at skinless enemies ▶ Fire at the Force Gun pull's area with the Pulse Rifle's alternate fire ▶ Use the Plasma Cutter or Line Gun to deal with the remaining enemies

Best Loadout for Single Targets

Some weapons work best for personal encounters with some necromorphs in the game, either by taking them out fast, or simply avoiding their secondary threats.

Best Weapon Loadout - Single Targets
Plasma Cutter	Contact Beam	Pulse Rifle	Ripper
Works well against:
▶ Pregnants ▶ Tentacles ▶ Brutes ▶ The Hunter (Regenerator) ▶ Guardians ▶ Dividers

Plasma Cutter	Contact Beam	Pulse Rifle	Force Gun
Combo
▶ Fire at enemies with Force Gun's primary fire. ▶ Use Force Gun's alternate fire at skinless enemies. ▶ Fire at the Force Gun pull's area with the Pulse Rifle's alternate fire. ▶ Use the Contact Beam to deal with the tougher necromorphs. ▶ Use the Plasma Cutter to deal with the remaining enemies.
