How to unlock the Merchant achievement in Dead Space - Definitive Guide


There are 13 schematics in the game, but the achievement unlocked at 12. This is likely a developer decision not to punish players who miss the Large Med Pack in Chapter 9. If the achievement doesn't pop after the 12th schematic, head to Chapter 10 and grab the Advanced Engineering Rig (Suit Level 5) from the Bathrooms in Crew Quarters.

I have everything EXCEPT the Large Med Pack, no achievement for me! From my point of view, this achievement is missable, so beware!

One note: The achievement does not unlock after you have collected any 12 of the 13 schematics.
It will however unlock if you have collected all schematics except for large med pack.

Got the same issue as some others. Have everything except the large med pack and the achievement didn't pop for me.

I feel like I'm missing a suit. I have definitely have the three that are listed in the guide, but when I check my storage I see the legacy rig and suit levels 1 to 4, I'm also not able to access all the upgrades in the bench which seems to confirm this. I've been back to the three locations in the guide for the intermediate engineering, intermediate mining and advanced engineering rig and they've defo been picked up.

What have I missed?

Oxygen tank one gave me problems. Thought it was in Comms with chapter 8, but it's back in engineering

Edit: You can get the oxygen tank as soon as chapter 4 when you reach the bridge and get level 2 clearance

Almost at the end of first play through with level 5 suit and all schematics except for the large med pack. No achievement. Very glad I'm planning to rush through on story/easy for contractor on NG+!

As said previously, it's not any 12, it's the 12 excluding the large med pack. Also, I'm not sure how anyone could miss the large med pack on the Valour anyway, was there a bug at some point?

It's probably worth amending the solution because you absolutely need the Large med pack as I have everything else but no achievement.

This guide helps a lot for knowing which chapter to find each schematic in. I just wish the video wasn't at x2 speed so it was easier to follow.

Have everything except large med pack, and suit level 5 but no chievo.

Guess you actually do need the large med pack to unlock the chievo.

EDIT: So starting a NG+, even though I had the Oxygen Tank as a consumable in the shop previous play through, it wasn't there on NG+. Not sure why this happened.

MISSABLE

There are thirteen Schematics to be found in Dead Space, each one unlocking a new item available to purchase in the Store. These range from ammo, to suit upgrades, and health items, so it’s worth tracking these down.
These can be found all across the USG Ishimura, and can be left for a New Game+ playthrough, if you’d like. However, the Large Med Pack is actually missable, since it’s found on the USM Valor in Chapter 9, which you can’t return to. So make sure not to miss it across your three playthroughs.

Ammunition
  • Pulse Rounds - Coolant Pipelines, Medical, Floor 4 (Chapter 2 onwards)
  • Ripper Blades - Fuel Storage South Room, Engineering, Floor 4 (Chapter 3 onwards)
  • Flamethrower Fuel - Engine Room, Engineering, Floor 3 (Chapter 3 onwards)
  • Contact Energy - Locked room north of Mineral Processing Area (lock can be shot through broken window), Mining, Floor 5 (Chapter 7 onwards)
  • Line Racks - Dr B Warwick Office, Medical, Floor 5 (Chapter 5 onwards)
  • Force Energy - Air Filtration Tower, Hydroponics, Floor 3 (Chapter 6 onwards)
Suit Upgrades
  • Intermediate Engineer RIG - EVA Prep Room, Bridge, Floor 5 (Chapter 4 onwards)
  • Intermediate Miner RIG - Equipment Workshop, Mining, Floor 2 (Chapter 7 onwards)
  • Advanced Engineering RIG - Standard Bathrooms, Crew Quarters, Floor 4 (Chapter 10 onwards)
Items
  • Stasis Pack - Main Lab Changing Room, Medical, Floor 1 (Chapter 2 onwards)
  • Oxygen Tank - Platform Storage, Engineering, Floor 4 (Requires Security Clearance 2)
  • Medium Med Pack - Room South of Decontamination Room, Engineering, Floor 2 (Chapter 3 onwards)
  • Large Med Pack - Infirmary, USM Valour, Floor 1 (Chapter 9, CAN BE MISSED)

Sometimes these objects will have a dark blue glow around them. Schematics are like blueprints for armor and weapons, and they allow you to buy them at the store or upgrade your suit. There is a schematic for 6 levels of suits and 6 guns. You should get this early in the game.

There are 15 schematics to be found so don’t worry if you miss a couple as you can still achieve the trophy. Some are easy to find while others require a little searching and are sometimes behind Power Node locked doors. The earliest chapter that you can get the trophy on is Chapter 4.
