    Every gun in this game just feels so good. It is ironic that the weakest gun is a standard military rifle while the others are all mining tools. Probably why the military and security guys on the ship didn’t stand a chance with it.

      I mean it kinda make sense if you think about it.
      Military rifles are meant for living beings, it doesn't has to have over the top destructive power, usually when the indented target took few shots from it, he/she/it will bleed out soon and won't post any threat during that time. So rapid fire and more ammo count is more important due to tactical usage.
      Mining tool in the other hand are meant to crack rocks, so obviously it pack some heavy punch. However, from the looks, they looks more clunky than military rifle thus probably much heavier and will be the last thing you wanna bring if you going on an actual battlefield.
      However, necromorph isn't alive(at least not alive like most of the known creature), thus few bullets holes doesn't really matter to them, but a charged contact beam to the face will make thing a lot more difficult for the necromorph because now it's a rolling head on the ground.

      @@spaceerror_3571 just to clarify that here because you explained it.
      Pulse Rifle is meant to be used in ships and "in cosmos areas" where causing bullet holes in a ship for example is a major threat.
      It doesn't penetrate as it's lore stands "The Pulse Rifle discharges ultra low caliber rounds at hypersonic speeds, each carrying tremendous amounts of kinetic energy". So basically it's like being hit by hammer with a size of a grain of sand and power of speeding truck, thirty times a second. If not for it ridiculous projectile speed it might be a good pacyfing weapon. But here? Yeah, it's a deadly weapon turning tissue into liquid and bones into dust.
      Still nothing really stands against something like Contact beam well because... It's a damn particle accelerator. Standing in it's targeting range is one thing... DEATH

    The flamethrower is the most ammo efficient weapons in the game. Not at the beginning, but once you get some nodes put into it, it's fabulous. You get the necros to group in the later combat arenas, and you can kill 5 or 6 necros at a time with the same amount it takes to kill 1. Also, its ammo is really cheap. It's also great for dealing with pregnants as it cooks the little dudes inside.

      On it's own it's pretty weak IMO against most necro's, but it's great if you combo it with another weapon. Flames will stagger enemies after a few rounds, where it actually weakens their defenses and just about any weapon will shatter their limbs at this point with a single shot.
      Flamethrower also cannot be used in area's where there is no oxygen, and is terrible against the hunter necromorph since it doesn't sever limbs at all.

    Recently finished my first run of the game while playing on hard and used the pulse rifle and flamethrower in my lineup. For as lacking as they can be sometimes, they are both *very* ammo efficient when upgraded. The flamethrower combined with the occasional punch to stun means you barely have to spend any fuel for a kill, the alt fire also kills wall guardians in one shot. Goes to show that dead space’s weapons are so well balanced that even the “worst” weapons still do the job you need completely fine. Good game design

      Well it lasts around 7 seconds un-upgraded, so it's pretty easy to guesstimate, even if you're panicking. It's super ammo-efficient, so it's not the end of the world if you accidentally alt-fire a few seconds early. Plus like others said, there's visual/audio que's too
      Since I started off by mostly just using the primary fire, and letting it auto-reload after 7 seconds, I got pretty used to knowing when it's about to reload long before I started to use its alt fire.

      The bug problem with the assault rifle is that it lags behind other weapons in the middle if it's upgrade cycle. But early on the mines are really powerful and once fully upgraded the damage, versatility, capacity and ammo drop chance are enough to keep it through the very end.

  • @jollygrapefruit786

    The force gun is really good for softening enemies up for the plasma cutter/line gun. It flays their flesh off meaning less ammo needed from the other weapons to finish them off. Great supportive tool for other weapons and keeping up on supplies, as well as a good panic option for when you get cornered.

  • @TheChungassSupreme
    @TheChungassSupreme ปีที่แล้ว +28

    If you'll allow my personal input:
    *Plasma cutter:* An excellent workhorse that, in the hands of a skilled psychopath, is irreplaceable. While you cannot deny its overall effectiveness, it does aesthetically pale in comparison to other weapons in Isaac's arsenal.
    *Pulse Rifle:* Constantly slept on. When used as an Assault Rifle, it's terrible, yes. When used as a supplemental weapon, it shines brilliantly. Pair with stasis or weapons that knock down or stagger, and it rips through weak points. Use IN TANDEM, not on its own.
    *Ripper:* I personally dislike this weapon. While its single target damage is impressive, it has short range that leaves you open to being flanked. It's ricochet secondary is really only useful in tight spaces, so it's great to clear hallways, but larger combat encounters are... Less effective.
    *Flamethrower:* This. Bitch. SCHLAPS. I've beaten Impossible with nothing but this thing. It's primary is almost exclusively for fodder. Don't use it on anything but Lurkers & Swarmers, and Separator Components. It shines in the damage over time aspect, and the Flame Wall not only consistently staggers everything but Brutes & Twitchers, but some necromorphs will be stopped dead by the presence of it alone (fire is a primal fear, after all), sealing off walkways and wider swaths and preventing flanks. Plus, the new lighting system really lets this thing shine, especially with Ray Tracing.
    *Contact Beam:* See that thing over there? "Yes Sarge." I don't wanna be seeing that thing over there. "Yes Sarge." Seriously, this is a beast of a weapon. You could go through an entire run with just this, and the only thing that would give you any significant trouble is the Hive Mind. In a weird sense, this is basically the Pulse Rifle on copius amounts of Space Meth. If this is your only weapon, you'll have plenty of ammo & cash drops to keep well stocked.
    *Line Gun:* It's like the Plasma Cutter & the Detonator had a baby, then pumped that baby full of Steroids. Paired with the Flamethrower, the only thing you'll ever have to worry about is whatever is in front of you. Call that combo the Ambush-B-Gon. Whatever the Plasma Cutter can do, this can do better. Its only limitation is that even with two weapons equipped, ammo for it is disproportionately scarce, so don't waste shots.
    *Force Gun:* Wanna make Impossible mode into one-life Story mode? Carry this delightful piece of crowd control and the Contact Beam to never worry about anything ever again. The ammo for both are equal in rarity, so you'll stay fairly well stocked up between the drops and shop. For taking care of entire waves at once, kite as many necros as you can into one area, drop a Gravity Well, then tear them to bits with the Contact Beam. Beyond that, this is both a fantastic way to get some breathing room, and an excellent way to show off the new dismemberment system, as a point blank primary will rip the flesh right off the necromorphs, leaving them laughably spindly. Doesn't do well against armored necromorphs, unless they hit a wall before falling.

      No it isn’t accurate to the lore or its description. It’s supposed to fire low caliber rounds at HYPERSONIC speeds. The fast fire rate and that bullet speed means the pulse rifle should be shredding limbs like nothing, even if the rounds “mushroom” on impact. The only reason why the soldiers do poorly with the rifle is because they aim center mass or the head which does nothing to a necromorph. The gun is just nerfed and makes no sense damage-wise in lore.

Try placing the Remake Line Gun Trap on something solid you can hold up with kinesis, with all the trap upgrades you can clear almost any room instantly by holding the item up with kinesis and aiming it around assuming it’s oriented correctly, you can kill brutes from the front with it, you don’t even need to attack their back, even without this strat your still going to annihilate most enemies that walk into a stationary laser, just shoot them with something else or stasis them as they go over it to stun them, Line Gun is far superior in strength to how it was in the OG games and it’s easy to see why it’s the strongest gun in the remake

    Never expected to find the flamethrower to be such a solid part of my arsenal, but in the early game, having an easy way to melt the first couple of layers off of an enemy before following up with a cutting tool makes it surprisingly worthwhile.

      Flamethrower is actually really strong in remake if you give it couple of upgrades because it will have descent damage, and it's special upgrade is to burn enemies so it micro-staggers them, so it's good CC weapon, plus it will actually melt flesh off enemies and they become skeletal, kinda like when you hit them with force gun. Alt fire is also strong on stopping enemies in their tracks, if you really want to be cheeky, just stasis them and shoot alt fire under them and they will BURN.

    Great video, Guys! It's always awesome when a shooter offers a diverse array of weapons to choose from that prove useful in different circumstances. The Ripper reminds me of using the Gravity Gun in Half-Life 2 to launch circular saws and decapitate Headcrab Zombies. If I had to pick a shooter with my favorite weapon arsenal, it would probably be Blood. Everything -- from the more standard weapons like the shotgun and tommy gun to the unique ones like the Voodoo Doll, Life Leech, Flare Gun, and Tesla Cannon -- feels so impactful and amazing to use in that game, and they all serve their uses against different enemy types. Amid Evil and Duke Nukem 3D are both up there in that regard, as well.

    Defo gotta say the force gun is slept on, it not only staggers and knock enemies down it reduces overall limb health by shredding all of the enemies skin down to the bone, swap to plasma cutter and it takes one shot on the limb to remove it, along with the alt fire gravity well that is just a get out of dodge button that can be paired with any other weapon to cause maximum damage.
    Would swap force gun to S and plasma cutter to S, move line gun to A as it deals high damage but is slow firing and needs a bit of prep work with the mines if you wana play perfect.

    I loved this list. I just finished the game and it was a blast. Only thing I’d argue against is the force gun being in B tier. That gin has legitimately carried me through the entirety of the last portion of the game. Still amazing list tho

    I’m literally doing my run with the pulse rifle and the flame thrower 😂

    Stasis and the Plasma Cutter are all I need. Cleared Impossible with One Gun. But the contact beam's perpetual laser is so much fun!
    In DS3 a rocked a Plasma Cutter with machine gun combo and JUST a Contact beam.

    Pulse Rifle can shred enemies, and with how much ammo the game gives you I had 1800 rounds for it. They can't get to you if you're hitting them with literally a mist of rounds, Flamethrower and Stasis go hand in hand like burgers and fries. With mercer's stasis you can freeze them and set them on fire while you fight others and do the same to them, then kill them easily with pulse rifle

    The alt fire of the ripper killed a brute on medium difficulty in about 3 ricochets, absolutely broken when it hit right

    I go with Pulse Riffle always tho Contact Beam Is cool too, ammo for the Pulse Riffle Is easy to get early on and I like the challenge.

    Word of advice: I know the original game has been out for a very long time, but for many this is their first experience with it. So the small bits of spoilers kinda sucked for me.

    For what it's worth, Pulse Rifle has a trick with it's secondary fire that allows you to glitch 20,000+ credits at a time, meaning with the pulse rifle you can break the game by strengthening every other weapon to max.
    I think outside out the obvious weakest weapon, second worst is probably Ripper. It's just... it doesn't have the same strong capabilities that the others do, and it's alt-fire is notably not super great in comparison to other weapons. It's a weapon that is still fantastic, but outdone by others.

    I love the Pulse Rifle for its immediacy and a large 175 ammo clip. I feel safe with it in any situation. The second best one is the Contact Beam

    Love the format. It's still true to your original formula but diversifies the topic. I would say my general feelings are about the same (having only played OG, so I guess not too much changed with weapons). I think it makes sense that the Pulse Rifle is the worst weapon because it's the only real "weapon" in the game. Everything else is some kind of mining tool which makes sense. Although in the OG the Pulse Rifle had a funny ass alt fire (Jack prolly brought it up at some point). Glad to see the Line Gun is still the realest in the room

      Ironically the alt fire was good for speed running
