Below you will find Dead Space 2 cheats. Cheats typically create an advantage beyond normal gameplay, usually to make the game easier.
Dead Space 2 Unlockables/Cheats
New Game+ mode
Successfully finish the game on any difficulty to unlock New Game+ mode. This will enable you to start a second playthrough while having all your weapons, items, and inventory from the previous game.
Hardcore mode
Successfully finish the game on any difficulty to unlock the Hardcore difficulty. This difficulty is equivalent to the Zealot difficulty, but you can only restart from the last saved game. It cannot be started on New Game+, and you are only allowed to save the game three times throughout the whole campaign.
Prequel bonuses
You need to have a saved game file from the original Dead Space so that you can have access to the Refurbished Plasma Cutter. However, your upgrades to the Plasma Cutter from Dead Space will not carry over.
Successfully finish Dead Space: Ignition in single player Ignition mode to unlock the Hacker Suit. This has bonus perks and hacking capabilities. You will also get exclusive audio logs, a Hacker-themed Contact Beam weapon skin, and extra power nodes, health packs, and credits.
Hand Cannon
Successfully finish the game on the Hardcore difficulty and you will unlock the Hand Cannon at the first shop in a New Game+. The Hand Cannon is a powerful weapon that comes with unlimited ammunition. You will hear Isaac say "Bang Bang" and "Pew Pew Pew" while shooting it.
Re-spec ability
At the beginning of Chapter 7, you will have the option to re-spec your weapons, RIG, and stasis module. This ability enables you to remove all the power nodes in a piece of equipment and re-assign them elsewhere. You will spend 5000 CR every time you re-spec an item. This ability helps you to re-assign (or take back) power nodes from weapons you do not use anymore but does not contribute towards the achievement for upgrading all your equipment. Additionally, you can use this ability to refill Isaac's health at any workbench. If you re-spec the RIG, any changes to a health node will reset Isaac's health to the new maximum. For 5,000 credits, this will prove cheaper than a large medikit.
Easy credits
Purchase the Supernova or Martial Law downloadable content. Then, go to the store, and acquire the Detonator weapon for free. Fire all the mines at a wall, then deactivate them and collect them. Do not reload the Detonator but instead sell it together with the mines for credits at the store. After this, get the Detonator back for free, and it will come fully loaded. Repeat this process as many times as you wish.
Skipping the Drag Tentacle in Chapter 5
During the Drag Tripod encounter in the Church of Unitology, pause the game and restart from the checkpoint. This will make you skip the entire sequence and go directly to the Pack encounter.
