Get to Chapter 4
Dead Spacehas a lot of weapons to juggle. It can be hard to know where to pick up a few of them; or even discern which ones to use. This dilemma is especially pertinent in the remake, where the team changed up the positioning of some items. Here’s where to find the Contact Beam, and whether or not it’s worth using.
As soon as Chapter 4begins, you aren’t too far off from the Contact Beam.Here are all the steps you need to take to get to the Records Office where the item is held.
Is the Contact Beam a good weapon?
Short answer? Yes.
Think of the Contact Beam like a railgun. Not only is it incredibly effective at taking down bosses at a safe distance, it fulfills the role of taking out miniboss as well. Its primary fire will continuously siphon ammo to keep a beam going, which is great for surgically slicing off elite parts, or going all-out on a big boss, if you have the ammo and resources to spare.
Its secondary fire is a charged beam that operates more like a traditional railgun. It’s fantastic at whittling down boss health at more than arm’s length. Consider making the Contact Beam your “fourth” weapon, which you’ll bring out whenever something dangerous is coming your way!
