spindoctor Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 u get enough nodes n definitely more than 12-13 imo n u can buy them separately as well i fully upgraded my plasma,line gun n pulse rifle in a single playthrough i just checked the wiki page for dead space and it takes 22 nodes to fully upgrade the line gun and 21 for the cutter. let's assume the pulse rifle also uses about 15 or so. assuming that some paths overlap, you'd still need a high number to fully upgrade a weapon. you're saying that you managed to find or buy ~50 power nodes in a single playthrough?

Karooo Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 250k cash you can easily get 30 nodes, if you use that 15% discount suit. Game gives you 20 + as well. Just sell unwanted ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoctor Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 it's like you guys are playing a different game altogether 250k cash how? i have 30k right now, saving up for the 2nd suit upgrade. i assume there will be one more suit upgrade after that... total cost of upgrades will be 50-60k i guess. how do you manage to find so much spare ammo to sell when your inventory is so limited? i have 15 slots now, 3 health packs + 3 or so slots for ammo for each of the 3 weapons i carry. that's 10-12 slots gone there, then you have schematics, stasis packs, the odd semiconductor to carry around... where is the inventory space to carry around extra ammo to sell?? i have to leave a lot of ammo lying on the ground because i don't have inventory space.

ZooZoo Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Finished the game! Excellent experience inspite of the cheap tricks used. I liked the throwback to the first game's ending in this one's. Strangely, I actually enjoyed collecting the trophies in this one and watching my trophy count rack up. May have to start taking trophies seriously Edit: Why the f**k is my playfire trophycard only showing 41 trophies? I have nearly 300 of them Changed the provider. Playfire's card sucks. Use the Spoiler tags dude . You are a admin, you should know that... Spoiled the f**king ending for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Use the Spoiler tags dude . You are a admin, you should know that... Spoiled the f**king ending for me Dont get your panties all twisted in a bunch Firstly, there are zero spoilers in what I've posted. Secondly, if you're playing the game, what the hell are you doing in this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 it's like you guys are playing a different game altogether Karoo's right. You do get more than enough cash to amp up your arsenal to a large extent. Here are some tips: 1. Search everywhere. You may enter a new part of the map and every instinct tells you to just follow the objective marker and finish the chapter. Subdue your nerves and explore paths that branch away from the marked path. This is where you find a lot of power nodes. There are a variety if storage spaces that can be checked for stuff. Lockers, safes, fuse boxes. Search 'em all. 2. Stomp everything. Crates, corpses (both necro and human). They provide a wealth of ammo and credits. 3. The burned looking necros carry a lot of credits. Each one provides between 1000 to 3000 credits. 4. Inventory management. The trick is to not fill every slot with health and ammo for your current weapons. Keep an adequate number as the game will keep refreshing your supplies (at least on normal difficulty). In the beginning, keep one medium health pack or two small ones. No more. Two ammo stacks for each weapon is enough. In fact, I didnt bother with carrying more than 2 weapons till Chapter 8. This will ensure that you have enough inventory slots left to store all the spare stuff you find like semiconductors, ammo for weapons you dont carry, etc. Every time you reach a shop, move all the surplus stuff to your safe. If you are sure you wont be using a particular weapon in the game, sell that ammo. 5. Vintage suit. You get the vintage suit late in the game. This one gives you a 15% discount while shopping. 6. Keep about 40K cash spare later in the game for the advanced suit. Spend everything else on power nodes. Never, ever spend money on ammo. The game provides you enough of that stuff on normal difficulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By vintage suit, you mean the schematic you get at that large hall where you meet a Brute the first time you come up there with that woman and Stross on the first floor? But isn't that possible only in your second playthrough or something? I wasn't able to get that suit at all Anyway, I'm in Chapter 9 now and I've saved up near a 100k for that advanced suit with 25 slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I already read one of your previous comments about Chapter 9 and now I'm constantly on the lookout for "them" around every damn corner Wonder what I'll do with the remaining 60k. I just don't feel the need to upgrade. With enough ammo at hand and 3 different weapons I just feel like I'll always be able to get away with pumping a few clips into every enemy I come across even with not-so-upgraded weapons. And you don't really need upgrades to the oxygen capacity of your rig much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
