Easy achievements:
------------------

Easy "Collect Peng" achievement:
--------------------------------
In Chapter 7 (approximately halfway through the level), find the mainframe room where ANTI
is located. One of the circuit rooms will have breakers that turn blue in addition to being
green or red (it is the left breaker room, if ANTI's hologram emitters are behind Isaac).
Insert the four breakers in that circuit room so they are blue, and the access tunnel will
now lead to a new room with the Peng treasure.

Easy "Elevator Action" achievement:
-----------------------------------
In Chapter 7, immediately after Isaac starts the elevator to go to the Solar Array area, a
bunch of Tripods will appear. Use the Detonator to shoot them. Usually hitting a Tripod with
the Detonator anywhere on the body will knock it off. Use Stasis to help hold a Tripod in
place when more than one of them appears at a time. Knock off all Tripods in this sequence
to get the "Elevator Action" achievement. If you do not get the achievement the first time,
reload, and try again.

Easy "Lightspeed De Milo" achievement:
--------------------------------------
Once you exit the elevator and enter the shopping center area after the train scene in Chapter
3, you will see a large statue rotating. Shoot the head off of it with any weapon to get the
"Lightspeed De Milo" achievement.


Schematic locations:
--------------------

Search the indicated locations to find all schematics:

locked door with a Power Node; you can find one on the ground through the door to the
left of the closet.

Sack Necromorphs.

down to walk through.

-=Chapter 5=-

room to find it.

Medium Health Pack: After you turn off the gravity and go through the holes in the ceiling,
you will find it floating in the middle of the room.

room. You will find it behind some shelves on the right side.

Detonator: It is in a room at the top of the church by the save station.

Seeker Rifle: On the path at the beginning of the chapter, take the door to the right.
You will be on a balcony, and the schematic is on the far right side on the ground.

the gate behind her, follow the path around to the right where it is blocked by debris to
find the schematic.

Flame Thrower: After you exit the gym, follow the path, and go into the classroom to find
the "Kids Gone Crazy" text log. In that same room, there is a smaller room on the right side
with blood on the wall. The schematic is on the ground.

be floating at the bottom of the room.

in the corner; you can move the table using your kinesis and grab it.

You will come across a few crates lying around; use your kinesis to move the crates and find
the schematic along with an audio log.

where you fight Stalkers and Cysts.

Force Energy: When you reach the zero gravity area, go to the lower level to find the

Contact Energy: In the zero gravity station where you move the lasers to gain access to the
shaft that leads inside, you will find the schematic if you look outside from the inside of
the shaft.

Riot Suit:
----------

Log into your same EA account through the Dead Space iOS game to unlock the Riot Suit.
This suit gives a weapon bonus to the Contact Beam of 10% extra damage and has 25
inventory slots and 25% armor.


Bonus suits:
------------

Successfully complete the game on any difficulty to unlock bonus elite suits. During a
second playthrough, the Riot Armor Suit will be available in the store, and the Elite
Engineer Suit schematic can be found near the first store. The Vintage Elite can be found
in Chapter 6, the Security Elite in Chapter 9, and the Advance Elite in Chapter 11.


New Game+ mode & Hardcore mode:
-------------------------------

New Game+ mode:
---------------
Successfully complete the game on any difficulty to unlock New Game+ mode. This mode
allows you to start a second playthrough with all your weapons, items, and inventory
from the previous game.

Hardcore mode:
--------------
Successfully complete the game on any difficulty to unlock the Hardcore difficulty.
This difficulty is equivalent to the Zealot difficulty, but only allows you to restart
from the last saved game. It also only allows you to save three times during the entire
campaign, and cannot be started from a New Game +


Re-spec ability:
----------------

At the start of Chapter 7, you will have the option to re-spec your weapons, RIG, and
stasis module. This ability allows you to take out all the power nodes in a piece of
equipment and re-assign them elsewhere. Each time you re-spec an item, it will cost
5000 CR. This ability does not help you get the achievement for upgrading all your
equipment, but it is helpful to re-assign (or take back) power nodes from weapons you
do not use anymore.
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 5000 credits, a re-spec is cheaper than a large medikit.


Prequel bonuses & Hand Cannon:
------------------------------

Prequel bonuses:
----------------
Have a saved game file from the original Dead Space to begin the game with access to
the Refurbished Plasma Cutter. However, your upgrades to the Plasma Cutter from Dead
Space will not carry over.

Successfully complete Dead Space: Ignition in single player Ignition mode to unlock
the Hacker suit (has bonus perks and hacking capabilities), a Hacker-themed Contact
Beam weapon skin, exclusive audio logs, and extra power nodes, health packs, and credits.

Hand Cannon:
------------
Successfully complete the game on the Hardcore difficulty to unlock the Hand Cannon at
the first shop in a New Game+. The Hand Cannon is a powerful weapon with unlimited
ammunition, is a foam finger, and Isaac says "Bang Bang" and "Pew Pew Pew" when shooting
it.


Elite Suits:
------------
Additional space suits are unlocked once you complete the game on any difficulty.

The Riot Armor Suit is available in the store and the Elite Engineer Suit schematic is
found near the first store. Other elite suits may be located when playing through round 2
the Vintage Elite in chapter 6, the Security Elite in chapter 9, and the Advance Elite
in chapter 11.


Easy Stalker kills:
-------------------
If you are finding the Stalkers troublesome, the best weapon to use against them is
the Line Gun. Try to find an area to back yourself into then simply wait and aim.
They will eventually pop out and run at you. The Line Gun will easily dispose of them.


Free Health:
------------
You can use the shop and the work bench to get easy health boosts. Each time you don
a suit for the first time -- after buying it in the shop -- your health is filled to
maximum. This only works the first time you put on each suit, but with the extra
downloadable suits you can do this several times throughout the game.
Alternately, once you can purchase the Respec ability (5000 Credits), you can strip
the Power Nodes from the Rig and replace them for full health -- this costs less than,
say, buying a large health pack.

  first time your health is refilled.

Nodes used on it. Respeccing the RIG will completely restore Isaac's health, which can
be a cheap way to completely heal him.
