running low on health and ammo

[Saigon]

Am i the only one that's out of Health and ammo?? I'm at the part where you first get the line gun running from the regenerator and literally only have one health pack and seven bullets in the line gun. talk about survival horror this is survival. every time I stomp an enemy they mostly only ever drop 100 credit

Yeah i often find myself in ammo crisis everytime I play Dead Space, takes about an hour of grinding cash to stabilize my inventory

[Kcub]

Are you playing on hard difficulty? I haven't run into this problem while playing normal. Using gas canisters and the limbs of dead necromorphs helps conserve ammo for me as well.

I had 60k saved up so spent almost all of it but 16k on heath and ammo & still find myself barely getting by

Normal

[Dracon]

Im on standard and got that way after the first Hunter encounter
That Bo be tuff mang lol But fun
In Hydroponics now and back up supplied so
Though I cant imagine how difficult Impossible mode will be once you beat the game once lol

[Saigon]

I'm serious my stock at the store is literally nothing

[Saigon]

I guess I got what you call 100 credit run because that's all they be dropping

There's a...trick, don't know if you knew it or not. But whenever you upgrade your RIG hp, it will fill up your whole health, same with weapon ammo upgrade and stasis one
Also, unless you want some death-less run, I will advise you take some risk and trade health for ammo, getting hit from time to time will lower enemy respawn rate and increase health pack drop rate, which is more worthy than 100 credit

I made a post about efficiency here:

Maybe it would help you.

It's more of a 'survival' horror game.

Hardest difficulty (before the last one)
I sell almost all medkits because I get almost no damage and sell ammo sometimes
I think it's the easiest Dead Space game lol

It's due to the new director system, where enemy drops are going to be more determined by how well you are doing. If you are struggling and running really low on everything, it will give you health and ammo, if you arent, they will mostly just drop money.

@cross I have noticed no change in this regard from the original game. Plenty of ammo dropping even tho I have tons of ammo, am playing on hard, and have tons of health and health packs.

Huh, my experience so far has been that it rarely gives me ammo or health, the intesity director is also used for when you revist areas so i guess maybe it doesnt effect areas that you just got into. There was a point where I was only getting money and I was running low and ammo across all my weapons and it was just not spawning health and ammo for me. Maybe I am just being paranoid tbh.

I don't have any problems on hard but I also finished the original like 5 times
