[Top 5] Dead Space 2 Best Weapons and How To Get Them

Dead Space 2 is a survival horror game by Visceral Games. Electronic Arts published it in January 2011 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Even after releasing Dead space 3 two years later, the community still holds Dead space 2 as the best entry in the trilogy.

In dead space 2, the way to get weapons is by finding schematics. These are blueprints for weapons; they're not that hidden, just with a bit of attention they can easily find. 

The schematics found are kept in the inventory until you enter them into a "SHOP," making the weapon available for purchase.

Each weapon has a regular and alt-fire mode which you can trigger with a left-click and a right-click, respectively.

The goal of this article is to show you the best 5 weapons in dead space 2. Where to find the schematics for them, the financial aspect you'll have to take care of it yourself; there are no loans in a horrifying space setup.
