Weapons

The following are all the weapons that Isaac (and the survivors in the Dead Space series) can use throughout the game. Although they are not weapons in the traditional sense, the mining tools acquired over the course of his time on the ship serve him better than would most conventional weaponry. These improvised weapons have a far more devastating effect on the Necromorphs than bullets, due to their ability to sever limbs rather than simply blowing holes in the Necromorphs.
