Suit Upgrade Benefits
Whenever you upgrade your suit, you get access to one or all of the following bonuses:
Increased Defense
Armor or suit upgrades passively increase Isaac’s defense, increasing your chances of surviving those occasional grueling ambushes and attacks. This also makes upgrades a must-have if you plan on taking on the game on higher difficulties.
More Upgrades
When you unlock suit upgrades, you also unlock more of the upgrade graph. This allows you to spend more nodes to get passive bonuses such as increased Kinesis damage, larger Stasis area of effect, and more.
Cooler Aesthetics
Aside from the bonuses that impact gameplay, you also get to see Isaac get more heavily armored, rewarding your hardships with a veteran-looking engineer. You can also change how Isaac looks via DLCs and other bonuses depending on where and how you are playing Dead Space Remake.
Dead Space Remake is available on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).
