Dead Space’s arsenal of weapons is infamous for being well-rounded and purposefully designed to make each weapon fit a niche in combat. While you could use any weapon fully to clear the game if you play your cards right, it’s rare to find a weapon that fits every niche at once. With that being said, some weapons in the arsenal are naturally stronger than others. Here is every weapon in Dead Space Remake, ranked from the peashooters to the necromorph-killing masterpieces of weapon design.

Every Weapon in Dead Space Remake Ranked

Disclaimer: Before you start getting up in arms, yes, there are technically eight weapons in Dead Space Remake thanks to a reward for completing Impossible mode. Given its staggering requirements though, along with just how broken it is, we’re omitting it from this list.

7. Force Gun

Oh, you almost-magnificent piece of machinery. This air-blasting weapon serves its purpose well, blasting away foes with its air blasts and pulling people in using the alternate Gravity Well attack. There’s a case to be made that it’s the best-supporting weapon in your arsenal, and that’s precisely why it makes the bottom of the list. If you’re going to spend the time shooting enemies with a blast of the Force Gun to knock them down or trap them, you may as well have just used another weapon and outright killed them. With all the area-of-effect attacks from certain weapons as well, the Gravity Well has severely reduced usefulness. It could’ve been cool, but instead, it’s mostly a waste of time and resources.
