Dead Space Remake: All Schematic Locations

You can get quite far in Dead Space by using the items, upgrades, or best weapons that naturally come in your path. However, that can get boring and ineffective eventually, which is why Schematics offers you upgrades for Isaac’s suit and many of his weapons. But, finding each of the schematic locations in Dead Space Remake can be quite tricky.

These Schematics can be used in interactive shops to acquire high-leveled materials that can aid you in battle. The schematics offer things such as the Pulse Rounds for taking out Necromorphs more efficiently and larger med packs to recover more of your health. They’re spread across many chapters of the game, with some being completely missable!

All Schematic Locations  

There a total of 13 Schematics and locations for each of the Schematic have been updated in the remake. If you miss any of the schematics, except the one in Chapter 9, you’ll have a chance to go back and collect them during Chapter 11: Alternate Solutions. You’ll only have one chance to get the schematic in Chapter 9. Here is a quick summary of all the locations, with more detail entailed below.

Ripper Blades

The Ripper is an extremely useful tool as it can cut through dense rock faces. The Ripper Blades are circular blades that act as ammunition for the Ripper. You can buy them for 1,500 Credits and Sell them for 250 Credits. And if you’re lucky, you can come across them in crates, lockers, or by stomping on enemies.

The Schematic is on a bench at the end of the EVA Prep Room.

Line racks

The Line Gun in Dead Space has a strong cutting beam and is a useful weapon. It is powered by gas cartridges known as Line Racks. These can be bought for 2,100 Credits and sold for 350 Credits. You can also find them through crates, lockers, or stomping on enemies.

You can find the schematic for Line Racks in Chapter 5, but you’ll require Security Clearance Level 2. Just before the Zero-G Therapy, you’ll find Dr. B. Warick’s Room. If you start at the Observation Room, go through two doors on the right side, and you’ll find the office after. The schematic will be on the desk on the left side of the room.

Force Energy

Force Energy is ammunition for the Force Gun, which is a short-range weapon and is basically a futuristic shotgun. The Force Energy can be bought for 2,400 Credits and sold for 400 Credits. It is also attainable through other item drop methods.

You can find the location of the Force Energy schematic in Chapter 6 of Dead Space Remake inside the Air Filtration Tower.

Contact Energy

Contact Energy is ammunition for the Contact Beam, an energy projector weapon that uses kinetic energy. It is great for killing enemies with speed and precision. You can buy Contact Energy for 2,000 Credits and sell it for 200 Credits.

Oxygen Tank

The Oxygen Tank is a recovery item. More specifically, it instantly refills your oxygen supply to maximum when you use it. It can be bought for 2,500 Credits and sold for 1,250 Credits. It can be found in Crates and Lockers, but not by stomping on enemies.

Large Med Pack

As the name suggests, the Large Med Pack is a health recovery item. It restores a large amount of health and costs 10,000 Credits, and can be sold for 5,000 Credits. You can find the schematic for the Large Med Pack in Chapter 9.

You need to be careful with the large med-pack schematic, as it is completely missable. You can’t come back to it later in Chapter 11, either. As part of the main quest, you’ll enter the Infirmary. You can find the schematic on a desk inside the entrance of the Infirmary, just before (and opposite) the malfunctioning lasers. If you look at the image above, the lasers are on the right, and the schematic is on the table with the lamp on the left side of the image.

Advanced Engineering RIG

The Advanced Engineering RIG, often referred to as Level 5 Suit, is one of the strongest armor sets in Dead Space. It offers 30% Damage Resistance and has 30 inventory slots. It costs 60,000 Credits, and you can only acquire it through the schematic.

You can find the schematic for the Level 5 Suit in Chapter 10 on a bench inside the Standard Bathrooms of the Crew Quarters. You’ll be able to access this area during the part where Isaac is looking for the Crew Deck Key.

With that, you know all of the locations for every schematic in Dead Space Remake. Remember, if you miss any, you can go back to them during Chapter 11. Your progress also gets carried over to New Game+ so that you can acquire them during your second playthrough as well. And once you collect all the schematics, you’ll be rewarded with the Merchant trophy/achievement!
