Like most survival horror games, your inventory inDead Spaceis far from limitless. As Isaac, players must scrounge the Ishimura’s depths for the tools necessary to fight back against the Necromorph scourge. And while you can technically pull it all off with the bare minimum of instruments - think the first couple of weapons, the occasional medical pack, whatever standard-version ammo you happen across - it’s far wiser to seek out schematics.

These all-important collectibles are the blueprints needed to acquire far better materials from Dead Space’s interactive shops. If you’re looking for a somewhat easier time, you’d best be searching for these kits. Better yet, cross each one off your checklist with this guide.

By our present count, there are13schematics aboard the Ishimura. Since you’re already here, we’re assuming the likelihood of this are low, butdo take care not to consult guides on the original version of the game, as the locations (and even the content) have shifted substantially.
