This is confirmed by a second party as of February 4, 2013. And the Ration Seals listed for the Ultra pack are twice the price of the Epic pack, but when you purchase an Epic pack with Ration Seals, you receive an Ultra pack instead. So if you buy an Epic pack, you’re really getting an Ultra pack’s contents (a loss of a dollar). Note: The Epic and Ultra DLC pack information seems to be switched in-game. They’ll also start bringing back Ration Seals, which you can use to purchase downloadable-content resource packs instead of paying real money. By the end of the game, though, you’ll be swimming in resources if you’ve been using your bot(s) properly and regularly. You won’t get one of these bots until several hours into the game, and they’re only useful if you search for a specific area in each level to deploy them. However, you can also use a scavenger bot to go out and find resources for you. You’ll need to buy at least a few packs to really make a dent in any major weapon or suit purchases. You can buy a basic resource pack ($1), Ultra pack ($2), or Epic pack ($3). The microtransactions revolve around earning resources for weapon crafting. Attachment modules add all types of unique effects to the gun, including elemental damage, increased ammo, automatic reloads, and more.Īs you might have heard, Dead Space 3 features microtransactions because, obviously, all of the console gamers who played the first two games want to spend more money on top of their $60 retail purchases. And finally, each gun has two attachment slots. The type of frame you built your gun on will determine how many circuits are available (up to eight max). Then you can add circuits to increase or decrease a weapon’s stats (damage, reload speed, clip size, firing rate). Likewise, you can turn a Military Engine into one of several assault rifle, sniper, or shotgun variations. For instance, a Pneumatic Torch engine will become a flamethrower with a Default Tip, and a Cryogenic Torch with a Precision Tip. Weapons can have up to two engines attached (so two guns in one), and then the type of tip you combine with that tool will determine its effect. You’ll need resources, which are found on dead enemies, in containers and loot chests, and scattered around levels to craft weapons (and upgrade your suit). These are similar to the Hazard, Supernova and Martial Law packs available at the launch of Dead Space 2.įinally, there's a onilne pass to enable online play for non-new copies of the game.Dead Space 3 is less survival-horror and more dungeon-loot crawl, which coincides with an all-new weapon crafting system. The other DLC packs contain new weapons and suits for Isaac, including content provided with special edition versions of the game. You can also choose to download upgrades to the scavenger bot that double his capacity or speed up his trips to the bench." "The scavenger bot's purpose is to give you an extra edge, since there's a bit of gameplay (and risk/reward) to using him and finding the richest resource caches. ![]() Whether by looting enemies, opening lockers, or exploring the world, you'll find more than enough resources in-game to fully experience DS3 on any difficulty level. "As a replacement for DS2's credits, resources are a key part of the Dead Space 3 experience, and their placement in the game has been well thought out by our game designers. "Everybody will find at least one of these bots in the game (and there a couple hidden ones to pick up, too.) The Scavenger Bot is an autonomous robot that can harvest resources for you and deliver them to the Tool Construction bench," Dead Space 3 executive producer Steve Papoutsis explained in a blog post addressing the various DLC packs. ![]() We contacted EA for more information about the add-ons (spotted on the US PlayStation Store this week) but the publisher was not able to provide UK pricing. And another for speeding up its loot collection ($4.99). There's a pack to upgrade your bots' capacity ($4.99 - about £3.15), and another for beefing up its personality ($4.99). And it's these little mechanical fellows that you can pay to upgrade. You also get them delivered to you via scavenger bots. In Dead Space 3 you can find weapon parts and resources scattered around the game's world. ![]() Still, the DLC extras do tie into the same crafting system. These options are separate to the in-game micro-transactions that Eurogamer revealed last week, which allow you to sheets of real world cash on extra resources for the game's weapon-crafting system. Dead Space 3 will launch with nearly a dozen slices of DLC, designed to help players accrue in-game loot faster and kit out hero Isaac Clarke with new weapons and suits.
