Dead Space

The flamethrower is the worst weapon in the game, and getting 30 kills with it on maximum difficulty was pure hell. No matter how you pump it up, it still takes away little health, and it’s inconvenient to aim at limbs, so I always first weakened the enemy (after all, to count a kill with a certain weapon, the weapon with which the last blow was dealt is counted), and then tried to burn it, aiming if possible flamethrower to a limb. It didn’t always work out successfully - then I loaded it up and tried again, because the fuel for the flamethrower is only consumed on the way, and the efficiency is negligibly low. As a result, I received this trophy only 3 chapters later, after I started working on it, while I pretty much pumped up both the damage and the burning duration, but the main goal of pumping up was the volume of the fuel tank, because fuel is consumed quickly, fuel cylinders It’s not there that often, and I pumped up the volume of the tank so that when pumping, it would be completely filled with fuel.

With all this, the flamethrower has a very short range of action, and monsters (at least on maximum difficulty) are not too deterred by the fact that they are on fire, and they continue to move towards you and can jump, so if possible it is worth freezing opponents for more safe use of weapons, or at least walk around it, forcing it to turn towards you every time, but this will no longer be an effective use of fuel.

Contrary to the usual stereotype from movies about space creatures, there is not a single monster in Dead Space against which it would be effective to use a flamethrower. Even the larvae, it would seem, are directly asking for their flock to be burned, but the range of the flamethrower is too low (you can only burn while standing end-to-end), as is the radius of action, so even if you try to burn the larvae with a flamethrower, you will not be able to engulf everyone in flames at once, and besides, they jump at you at a distance slightly greater than the range of a flamethrower. The ideal weapon against maggots is the power pistol , which covers a wide area and kills them with one shot.

Please note that, for obvious reasons, the flamethrower is the only weapon that does not work in a vacuum.

The end of the 11th chapter is when you, having fought off all the creatures, pull the obelisk into the last airlock.

You have two parallel corridors in the airlock, then at the exit, on the sides of a large round hatch there are two guards who spit small larvae (or whatever they are).

So, we don’t shoot at the guards, but methodically move and destroy the larvae.

You will easily achieve all the trophies associated with the weapon “kill so many creatures with this or that weapon.”

The advantage of this is that there is a save point in this room; it is also there before entering it.

The location usually contains ammunition (for the weapon you use) and a first aid kit,

There is a shop and a workbench nearby in the location.

The only thing BUT, having received a trophy for example for a flamethrower, do not try to buy additional ammunition for another weapon in the store during the game - it never worked out for me, if you get hit, you are thrown out of the store.

Just die, load again (before leaving the room with the guards) and finish off another weapon.
