Dead Space Remake All Weapon Upgrade Locations

Dead Space Remake has 21 Weapon Upgrades. Finding all weapon upgrade locations is required for the Built To Order and Maxed Out trophy / achievement. For Built to Order you must find each upgrade and install it at a workbench. For Maxed Out you must buy all upgrades for all weapons and the suit using Nodes. These Nodes are the upgrade currency and can be found in the world or bought at shops for credits. You can find all weapon upgrade parts in one playthrough but you need at least two playthroughs to get enough nodes to buy each improvement.

This guide shows their locations when they first become available but you can still backtrack for them before the Point of No Return at the end of Chapter 11. They all become missable after the Point of No Return but you can still pick them up in New Game Plus. This guide is updated for the 2023 Dead Space Remake (PS5 / Xbox Series S/X / PC).

For Weapon Locations refer to Dead Space Remake All Weapon Locations.

All other Collectible types are covered in Dead Space Remake Collectible Guide.

This guide references the room names as seen on the in-game map. You can open the map and use D-Pad to scroll over rooms to see their name, use this to find locations more easily.
