Best Suit Upgrades in Dead Space Remake

Here are the best suit upgrades in Dead Space Remake:

  • RIG Type: Upgrade your RIG type from Standard to Miner (as well as the additional types when able). Upgrading your RIG type will upgrade your suit with damage resistance and inventory capacity.
  • Health: Upgrading your Health will increase your total health, meaning you will survive longer. This will also refill your health to full, which is extremely powerful, especially in higher difficulty levels like Hard or Impossible.
  • Kinesis Module – Range: You will want to upgrade the Range of the Kinesis Module once. This will make picking up items from long distances easier and help you with a challenging boss fight later in the game.
  • Stasis Module – Duration: Upgrading the duration of your Stasis Module will help you deal with enemies when playing on harder difficulties. Remember that Isaac does less damage but receives more damage, so the longer an enemy is in stasis, the easier and safer it will be to kill.
  • Stasis Module – Energy: Upgrading the Energy of your Stasis Module will provide you with additional Stasis slots, meaning you can hold more stasis shots. The more stasis shots you have, the longer enemies are safely away from you.

  • Plasma Cutter – Damage: The Plasma Cutter is the best weapon in the game, and by focusing on this weapon, only you will set yourself up for success.
  • Plasma Cutter – Ammo Capacity: The ammo capacity increase may seem like a quality-of-life upgrade, but you will be thankful you picked this upgrade later in the game when a reload can lead to your untimely death.
