Finding Nodes
You’ll often find nodes in cabinets on walls, but sometimes you’ll also find one out in the open. Definitely keep an eye out for them as you’re scouring your surroundings for supplies. They’re not very common, so don’t expect them to fall off of a body or be inside a busted box.
Buying Nodes
You can also buy nodes for 10,000 credits at the store. It’s a hefty sum, but these are the keys to upgrading your items. If you have the credits, treat yourself to a node from time to time. While these are valuable, it would be very unwise to sell them to the store for credits.
Finding Benches
You’ll often find benches in relatively safe areas. These are often near save points or stores. You can also spot the icon for a bench on your map. So, if you happen to walk by one without noticing it, you might spot it when you open up your map.
How Long Does It Take To Beat Dead Space Remake
Dead Space is a horror classic and the remake improves upon the original in every way. Here's how much time you can expect to spend playing this game.Upgrading At Benches
When you open up the bench, you’ll need to select which item you would like to upgrade. In the beginning, you’ll be choosing between your suit and your plasma cutter. If you’re looking for some advice, maybe opt for the suit. You’ll get more weapons throughout your time on the Ishimura, and you might regret upgrading your tool instead of your suit. You’ll always be wearing your suit, but weapons might change based on preferences.
When you want to upgrade, you’ll notice that each upgrade is a little dot. Each dot comes with the cost of one node. These upgrades work like branches, meaning the upgrades must connect to one another. In order to take an upgrade in the middle of the screen, you’ll need to work your way over there by unlocking connected upgrades.
