The EVA Suit (Extra Vehicular Activity Suit) is a RIG suit available to use in Dead Space 3. It is primarily used for space travel and vacuum areas. The suit has a gold-plated visor that expands in front of the helmet's face when entering the vacuum of space, presumably used for UV ray protection.

The EVA Suit is obtained by Isaac Clarke during the escape from the exploding USM Eudora.

Description

"A lightweight space suit designed to protect its wearer from prolonged radiation exposure; typically worn by private-sector salvage operators."

—Suit Kiosk description

The EVA Suit consists of a white and grey jumpsuit with a white, grey and black helmet, and somewhat resembles a modern space suit. It is worn by private-sector salvage operators to protect them from the vacuum of open space. The suit is noticeably padded, and has little armor plating compared to most suits. In addition to having the standard blue slits, the helmet deploys a gold-plated visor when entering a vacuum, likely made to diminish the damage made by infrared radiation from stars. Like other suits from Dead Space 3, it has thrusters located on its boots and shoulders, and the health monitor is noticeably higher up on the suit's spine than previous RIGs, resembling a beetle shell.

Variants

• Flight Suit
• Deep Dig Suit
• First Contact Suit

Trivia

• Like the Arctic Survival Suit, Isaac wears this suit in promotional trailers for Dead Space 3 and even the game's demo.
• The suit has a USM Eudora emblem on its left shoulder.
• This is the only full-body suit that is seen put on manually by a character in the entire series. How it manages to pressure seal itself and the later-worn helmet remains unclear.
• The initial suit-on cutscene is slightly different when playing on Co-op. Normally, Isaac would boost after his helmet through the vacuum before catching and donning it, but with a second player present, the helmet will float out of Isaac's reach before being caught and tossed back to him by Carver. Isaac then puts it on like he normally would.
• If Isaac wears the suit at the beginning of Chapter 8, the suit will appear heavily battered up with rips in the fabric, dents in the metal, a torn oxygen tube and the RIG on Isaac's back being slightly bent and leaning. Isaac's face will appear frozen with blood running off his head. This is the only suit that is damaged when he crash lands on Tau Volantis - any other suit will appear undamaged and Isaac will look normal, but the health is still low and the helmet still malfunctions.
  • Equally, if one uses the weapon crafting area from the Menu then goes back into the game, Isaac's EVA Suit will be completely undamaged and his face will be clean.
• During the outbreak on the New Horizons Lunar Colony, before entering the souvenir shop, on the shop's sign is a cartoon version of the EVA suit with the protective helmet panel covering down.
