What Are Dead Space Remake Side Quests?
Optional Missions
Side Quests are optional missions in Dead Space Remake. You can either ignore them to pursue the story or take them on for substantial rewards. As they are completely optional, the rewards that they give are not required to finish the mission. However, taking them on can give you the edge that you need in your fight against the Necromorphs. It is recommended that you take the time to do these missions as it also adds more information to Dead Space’s lore.
Can Only Be Completed At A Certain Point
As side quests require you to go to certain parts of the ship, some of them may remain locked until you progress the story. Realistically, you can complete all of the side quests once you arrive at Chapter 10 of the game as it unlocks all of the Ishimura’s stations.
