Dead Space 2 Multiplayer features a wide variety of weapons, suits, upgrades, and enhancements for the both the Titan Station Security Force and Necromorph horde.

Level 4 – Solid Army Green Suit
Level 8 – Solid Red Suit

Zealot Suit[]

The Zealot Suit is available with the Collector's Edition of Dead Space 2 and can be used in both Story Mode and Multiplayer, but with no special bonuses in the latter.

Viral Suits[]

Viral Suits are a special type of suit that can be unlocked in Dead Space 2 Multiplayer. They are unlocked by killing the Human player actively wearing the suit while playing as a Necromorph (hence the name "Viral"). The original wearers of these suits were Visceral Games' employees and Prima Games' employees. The latter of which being the producers of the official game strategy guidebooks for the Dead Space series.

NOTE: The Viral Suits were never naturally occurring on PC due to the fact that there were no developer-hosted events held on that platform. Meaning that the Viral Suits could not come into circulation on PC. However, they can still be unlocked through modding the unlock values in the game files.

Promotional Suits[]

These are suits could be unlocked via a limited-time Dr. Pepper promotion. These promotional suits are not available on the PS3, as they were exclusive only to the Xbox 360 and PC. Again, they can still be unlocked through modding the unlock values in the game files.

Developer Suits[]

A total of seven "Developer" suits can be found within the game's files which were meant to be exclusive to select developers/staff members at Visceral Games only. However, like all other suits, they can be be unlocked through modding the unlock values in the game files. While their in-game names are simply titled "Developer", the game files have them named after the last names of various employees of Visceral Games's development team, suggesting they exclusively belonged to their respective staff members.

Matchett's Suit/Urban Camo Lime Suit (Craig Matchett, Senior Character Artist)
Gascoigne's Suit/Tiger Camo Pink Suit (Louis Gascoigne, Lead Online Engineer)
Probst's Suit/Solid Orange Suit (Scott Probst, Producer)
Woldman's Suit/Solid Light Blue Suit (David Woldman, Senior Producer)
Papoutsis's Suit/Solid White Suit (Steve Patpoutsis, Franchise Executive Producer)
Murphy's Suit/Tiger Camo Gold Suit (Ryan J. Murphy, Multiplayer Level Designer)
Lu's Suit /Tiger Camo Orange Suit (George Lu, Senior Online Engineer)

NOTE: The descriptive suit names (i.e. Urban Camo Blue Suit) are an approximation of what the suits look like based off of their color and pattern in order to better describe them to the reader. They are by no means official names, as they are only referred to as "Developer" suits in-game. The pairing of developer names to the suits are also approximations as to the order they can be found corresponding to both the game and game files and are not absolutely certain, however it is most likely these are the owners of their respective suits.
