How did you find the sections with the regenerating necro? I found those bits a royal pain in the ass even on normal. Though I didn't have a force gun, I'm still hoping that will let me own hardcore, in DS1 Impossible I would just let enemies run right up me to then fire it and laugh at them either blowing backwards or blowing apart. |
Yeah like Ail says the Force Gun really isn't that good in Dead Space 2. Maybe they weakened it... The secondary attack is better than the primary push.
As for the part with the regenerating necro, yeah that part was a pain on Hardcore too. Although I was careful and never let him get me. I would shoot him with the contact beam until he would be crawling and then I'd send him into stasis freeze and move forward.
@Ail
Upgrading stasis is really a key to survival in Hardcore. One of the first things I upgraded was my Stasis energy so I can have 4 shots and longer duration which makes a huge difference. Getting the Rig health fully upgraded is key too so you can minimize the one hit deaths. Seems some enemies get stronger later on in Ch.13 where they can kill you in one hit without all 4 health upgrades. I also used mainly the plasma cutter and contact beam later on. The flamethrower is a good choice too because like you said it makes the enemies always drop items. I missed out on a bunch of drops other times when bodies disappear before I can loot them because there way too many onscreen.
