If I remember correctly, Conic dispersal also alters a military engine (defaultly a submachine gun) into a basic shotgun. Or with a conic dispersal tip, you can create a Javelin Shotgun on the lower tool.

After choosing this engine, you can build a repeater tip for a 4 shot burst javelin weapon. Telemetry spike is the engine of Javelin gun from previous games. Then for lower tool choose telemetry spike. Then choose a tip for that upper tool to find your best firing mode. And it basically helps merging different weapons into one weapon.įor example on a heavy frame, with a military engine, you can build a machine gun, a sniper rifle or shotgun. You gotta place the engines you built or found on lower tool. Because here, some engines do not work as same as they do in upper tool. Now the complicated part is the lower tools. You can alter their function by crafting tips for them. Any engine on upper tools work exactly as the weapons in the first two games. You can figure out their functions from the explanation. They are not very common earlier in the game, so crafting them is necessary for getting good weapons. Weapon's functions are just like in the old game but they change whether you put them on upper or lower tool. No DLC so I can't get the good stuff but how do I build guns in this game? 1 encounter in Dead Space 3 has more necromorphs than half of Dead Space 2, it's so frustrating how the game just throws them at you like its screaming, 'necromorphs are scary, are you scared yet?!?!?' I always end up with a gun that takes too long to kill them or is too slow to use in close combat.Ĭan someone explain to the crafting system in this game or how to build a decent gun? I've looked on this subreddit before for gun tips but people are too vague about it.

But I seem to be really limited in the tips I can build. I've poked around the wiki and I think that I have all the upper/lower tools unlocked? I might be missing one or two. So I'm about 45% (on hard difficulty) through the game and can't seem to build anything. I've played Dead Space 1 and 2 on hard difficulty, and I'm experienced with the series in general but for some reason I can't go anywhere with Dead Space 3.
