Dead Space Remake Line Gun Location & Upgrades

You can obtain a wide range of weapons in Dead Space Remake. Among these is the line gun, which is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. Having this weapon in the bag will mean that you will be able to progress in a relatively easier way throughout the game. This guide is for you if you want to find out more about the game, especially the Dead Space Remake line gun.

In this Dead Space Remake line gun guide, we will be covering everything that you need to know about it, from what it is to how to get it.

So without any further ado, let us jump right into it.

What Is The Line Gun

One of the weapons that will prove to be extremely useful against the necromorphs that you will be facing is the Dead Space Remake line gun.

If we dive a little further into the detail, the line gun is this extremely cool-looking slicer with timed mines, and that releases a powerful beam of energy that cuts through your enemies like a piece of cake. It is very effective against necromorphs, and as it is wider than the plasma cutter, it will cut through both of the necromorph limbs in a single hit.

What makes the line gun so good is the fact that it is effective in both long-range and short-range because of its two fire modes: Pulse mode and force mode. The pulse mode will be used in the short range to destroy necromorph limbs. The force mode, on the other hand, will be used in the long range to take on a group of necromorphs.

Something that you should know is that swift necromorphs like the twitchers can easily dodge the line gun blasts. However, once you upgrade your line gun, it will become effective against them as well.

Where To Find The Line Gun

In the previous games of the franchise, the line gun was a weapon that could be purchased from the store. However, that is no longer the case, and the only way to obtain this lethal weapon is by finding it.

Talking about finding the line gun, if we are being honest, it can turn out to be a pretty challenging task because the creators have done a phenomenal job at making sure that it is well hidden. However, you do not have anything to worry about because we have got you covered with this Dead Space Remake line gun guide.

You will be presented with two opportunities to acquire the line gun in Dead Space Remake. The first opportunity will be in Chapter 4: Obliteration Imminent, and the second one will be in Chapter 5: Lethal Devotion.

The location of the line gun is the same in both chapters. However, the ease with which you obtain it depends on whether you get it in chapter 4 or chapter 5. We highly suggest that you get it in chapter 4 because if you do not, then in chapter 5, you will have to face a regenerative necromorph to get to the line gun.

Chapter 4: Obliteration Imminent

To get the line gun in chapter 4, you should follow the steps that we have enlisted down below:

• Once you have completed the objective “Lift the Lockdown,” go to the ER Hallway A through the Emergency Room.
• From there, you need to go to your right, and you will see a Level 2 Security Clearance door on the right.
• Enter this room, and there you will see the line gun lying on the floor.

Chapter 5: Lethal Devotion

If you happen to miss your chance to get the gun in chapter 4, you can still get it in chapter 5. Do not read any further if you have not come across your new enemy here.

If you have, below we have mentioned all that you need to know about finding the Dead Space Remake line gun:

• During the objective, “Lift the Lockdown, you will come across Hunter. You will need to fight and beat Hunter.
• Once you have done that, progress to the ER Hallway A from the Emergency Room.
• From there, you need to go to your right, and you will see a Level 2 Security Clearance door.
• Unlock this Emergency Equipment Storage room, and viola! There you will find the Dead Space Remake line gun that you came looking for.

Apart from the line gun, you will also find plenty of supplies there. These supplies will also include a Node which can be used to upgrade the line gun later that you just added to your arsenal or any other weapon that you have.

Line Gun Upgrades And Where To Find Them

The already powerful Dead Space Remake line gun has three upgrades. Below we have mentioned what they are, along with where you can find them:

• Ionized Capacitor: The ionized capacitor upgrade greatly increases Laser Trap Damage. This upgrade is unlocked in the store in chapter 5 after you have acquired the line gun. Therefore, you can purchase it for 11,500 credits from the store.
• Precision Lasers: The precision lasers upgrade effect is that Laser Traps have three targeting lasers instead of one. This upgrade can be found in a crate that will require the Master Override to unlock in the Hydroponics Hallway.
• Photon Energizer: The photon energizer upgrade also greatly increases the Laser Trap damage. This upgrade can be found in a crate located in the Lab Storage between the Chemical and Cryogenics Rooms. You will need Level 3 Security Clearance to get there.

Final Words

Having the Line Gun in your arsenal will definitely be worth it because it will make it much easier for you to deal with necromorphs. Therefore, if you have not crossed the point of no return, which is towards the end of Chapter 11, then you can still get the line gun for yourself.
