Non-Traditional Weapons

While Dead Space features a couple traditional weapons like the flamethrower and pulse rifle, the majority of the weapons are actually modified mining tools. This is because the player is tasked with using whatever he can find onboard the mining vessel he's been sent to investigate. Since the main character is an engineer, he's skilled at modifying these tools that were previously used for busting through rock and metal into powerful weapons that can help him shred through the alien race that's invaded the vessel.IGN: Weapons of Dead Space (September 5, 2008)
