Dead Space 2 HD Infinite Power Nodes and Items in Chapter 1 (Fastest Farm Method with Instructions)

[@diskgrind3410]

So, your body has to cross that threshold going to the vent area for this to work and you cannot drop the item or throw it to that spot or the duplicate will disappear. I've tested this out. Follow this man's instructions and it will work. It worked for me. Thanks for the loophole. I'm pretty sure this would work in another spot, I'm not doing the work to find it. I think it is a flawed mechanic in the game. I'm not signed into EA and I'm running the first unpatched version I think of this game.

[@TheEngineerYTDS]

Gonna pin so others can see your discovery, appreciate the data.

[@Mnemosyne6022]

I tried this to start a hard core playthrough of DS2 in 09/2023, still works. Some additional data as well: The process can be restarted it seems, even after the duplication appears to break. However, once you bring an item near the vent in the machine shop, you cannot simply put it back on the 'duplication' line. Anything that remains on the duplication line can be re-triggered by pulling off the vent cover, then going back to the hospital reception area. Was able to get 100 nodes, broke the duplication after I picked them all up (possibly because I was still getting the Power Node Acquired notifications), lost the 1k credit chip and second power node, but was able to reset the bug and duplicate the gold semiconductor before I decided it was enough.

[@InquisitorDeckart]

Found a bit of a faster way, so if anyone even does this still, the setup is the same but as you begin to transfer the duped node/whatever else, as you come around the workbench, the load is on the first step, of the stairs to the left. You can stop at the rail at the end of the first step and just blast what you're holding across to the vent or just drop it at your feet since the reset is there. Then you can just do a 180 and run back rather than go to the end of the hall each time

Seeker Rifle Force Gun Contact Beam Plasma Cutter Can't get better than that

[@johnmaverick6511]

@@Icybanana8 Plasma cutter, Line gun, Contact beam, and force gun. Plasma cutter is all purpose great weapon. Line gun is a nice powerful fallback weapon if you really need it. Contact beam is amazing in just about every situation, but it really excels in boss fights, those big bosses with the yellow weak spots like the brute and that one other thing that jumps around, can’t remember what it’s called, but it melts through bosses like butter, and it can easily destroy Nicole at the end in like 15 or 20 seconds maximum, not even kidding, I killed her in like 10 seconds it felt like. Definitely bring the contact beam with you. And the force gun is just awesome because it pushes enemies away while also acting like a shotgun with a super wide area of effect, super useful for big groups of enemies and the stalker enemies that rush you, it complimented my zealot suit nicely, which also gave my force gun a damage boost. Force gun ammo is also super cheap. Play tactical, watch your back, take note of enemy spawn locations, and you’ll do fine. I saved at chapter 5, 11, and then kinda right before the end, it’s before you run out in front of the marker with a ton of enemies, but you’ll have a little hallucination in that save room that also includes a store with Nicole telling you something like “meet me at the marker, convergence is at hand.” But she definitely says “meet me at the marker” I saved right after she said that, and I was set and ready.

Literally got the urge to play through all three of the dead spaces and to my surprise this still works but something went weird with mine, followed everything cautiously and even having 2 nodes a 1000 credit and the semiconductor in order lol, but the nodes stopped after the 3rd one. Only got a second credit and the semiconductors kept flowing, so not too bad I’d say. Thank for this, keep up the great work and I think you’ll do fine!!

[@shanks0307]

I just replayed dead space 2 on my new xbox after like 10 years or so💀 and my game glitched so once i kill that brute before opening the vault, the little hack panel has already fallen off and so no matter how many times i load it doesnt load back in💀 so now ima glitch this so i can just finish it good this time🌚

[@monkeyman0511]

Only take 1 power more for duplication. Leave the one at the balloons and the one in the cabinet by the console and save point. Simply because once you duplicate 120 from 1 power node, the original will stop duplicating, so go pick up all the nodes you’ve duplicated, then go grab another power node, place it down on ramp, go up to maintenance checkpoint, then hen return to balloon room, it restarts the glitch with the new power node, and repeat, it didn’t work with credits, however it did work with the semiconductor, but pick up the duplicates, it hen start the glitch again on the original still on the ramp, it works again.

[@monkeyman0511]

first time trying this, followed the video to the ‘T’ and it works, however only the left part of ramp worked for me, when looking down the ramp, the right side didn’t. thank you very much. 28th august 2023

[@raycadbury]

attempted this glitch 3/15/23 and it worked fantastic, I actually picked up plenty of stuff up to the boss fight where after I brought 1 node from the outdoor space area, the gold semi conductor from the boss and the $1000 from the vent room and positioned them exactly how you did in the video just with 1 node instead of 2. I went back and waited pasted the balloons just as you did for over a minute and began duplicating which worked great until i went to sell everything, it seems like after returning to the buy station from the hospital the duplicating doesn't work any longer but was fine up to that point.

[@MrGreenToS]

as of 1/5/23 this trick still works on xbox Series X , got to 125 before I stopped but it was more then enough. Beaten this game so many times and hype for the remake, might as well make this revisit a quick one.

[@SiFiGamer2016]

I haven't played this scary but amazing game in a long time, but I've beaten the game in the past, and most recently this week. This can definitely work, and I'll just be grabbing more nodes for most of my weaponry. The credits can also boost me, but I've gained a lot of semiconductors before the end, especially the diamond ones. I'm surprised that people still play this game to this day, and this video proves it. 👌👏

[@melko1408]

I accidentally picked up a chip and two nodes because I double hit X to open doors, so I got the node out of the wall by the fake dead zombie and it still worked, so don’t worry about not picking up items. It works, believe me.

[@skyrimwarrior]

i did the estimate on the semi-conductors, my best guess is you only get $350,000 to $380,000 credits. which is not too bad, but it'll take a while to carry all of them back to the store, plus you'll have to somehow make sure you carry all of them back to the store, my best guess is if you have patience. you can cash them all in in about 55 mins of carefully carrying them all back, all at once with kinesis.

With the glitch, getting to Chapter 7 to do 1st save before elevator ride is very doable, especially if you have DLC Force Gun to upgrade. Takes practice, but memorizing Chapters 1-7 is key to setting up a successful Hardcore run.

So when duplicating the items try not to let them bump into things or drop on the floor on the way to the grates and see if that helps, again it's aggressively finicky about what gets duplicated or not.
