Dead Space RIG Armor Lore | How Do Health Packs Work | Suits, Upgrades, Bar, and Mechanics Explained

In the Dead Space Universe exists a piece of equipment that is the unsung hero of the franchise. The RIG armor. This suit is used to keep Isaac alive in spite of the dangers presented by the Necromorphs and insurmountable odds. In one way, how the health packs might actually work. So lets jump in and theorize about how these may interact together to keep humans upright and alive.

I agree with the tank Theory to is because how do you upgrade your health because you can get more bars on the back of your rig so I think it might be a tank of a some sort of futuristic painkiller

[@dogman9291]

This actually makes a lot of sense! If I understand correctly, the RIG monitors its user's vital signs and physiological activity, and if the user sustains damage, it automatically injects them with its concoction of stem cells and healing boosters. Possibly also painkillers, though seeing as how the RIG uses the nervous system to gauge the severity of injuries, painkiller use is probably either minimal, or the RIG simply monitors the amount of painkillers in the blood and factors this into its assessment of health, which I imagine wouldn't be too difficult a function to program into it. Though with this healing method, the person would be unable to regrow limbs. Impliedly the technology of Dead Space allows it, but this would likely need to take place in a clinic as it would definitely require more medical meddling than a few injections of the superhealing agent. Your theory also explains why the RIG is visible: it shows people around the user how much of this superhealing agent they have left! This would be extremely useful for soldiers and engineers in particular, as the comrades of the user would be able to know if their friend needs a refill. This also explains the different tank capacities. (Man... this is why I love Dead Space. its game mechanics aren't just game mechanics, they're worldbuilding elements.) All in all this is one of my favourite theories of yours, although I have bias as a bio student. Keep up the good work! Us science nerds are big fans of it!

[@BoisegangGaming]

Rigs seem to be something we'll see relatively soon: Powered exoskeletons used for industrial and civilian usage with built-in medical systems. I can see something like a hydraulic proto-rig used with a cable connecting it to a generator, as you don't really need a lot of range if your exoskeleton's just being used for moving, say, heavy furniture or equipment around. It could also be really useful for astronauts working on EVA construction, as the cable would do double-duty as a tether.

Why would astronauts need exoskeletons in space?

[@barmacidic2257]

Steel Bear that’s actually a decent point when you don’t put too much thought into like I almost did, but I’m an overthinker. I have remembered that although things don’t have weight in space, they do still have mass, and are still affected by inertia, as in it takes more force to get something with more mass to start moving, no matter its weight. So if there was something with a large amount of mass that an astronaut needed to move there is a chance that an exoskeleton would be of help.

Matpat has been getting lazier with his “theories” opting (and failing) for a more entertaining/tongue-in-cheek comedy, which is why I fell off the GT train. I get more enjoyment when my curiosity of the fictional unknowns are explored. That’s why I love Camellworks and their Elder Scrolls lore, Shoddycast when they described the firing power of the Halo rings and more, HiddenXperia with all things halo as well as a handful of others including you! It’s like watching a documentary by a person that visited some far off place and is trying to explain how they work compared to us with their unique personality flare. Absolutely fascinating! I think that’s where Matpat failed, he stopped exploring and started focusing more on his act routine. I hope this was cohesive, I tend to ramble.

Makes sense to me, and thats a pretty good way of explaining it! I too like HiddenXperias channel, I actually have a couple of Collaborations with him and more coming up!

Following on the theory of gel preserves, there has to be some amount and variation of nutrients to supply the healing process. So the caution and critical states are barely keeping you alive from this; while the wounds are fully healed, the healing process is taxing on the body, and there aren't enough nutrients being supplied to stabilize the body, explaining the lack of balance and oxygen depravation.

[@origrammar]

I think it's fascinating how the diegetic mindset that the developers worked with lead to the creation of the RIG system. Like "let's show the player how much health they have, as a display on their suit" suddenly turns into a brief lesson on neurology. This kinda blows my mind.

My assumption about the Medpaks would be that they were just like... Nanomachines suspended in some kind of fluid to help them get around the body faster. Then they would latch onto and repair any damage coming in from some outside source, like... an artificial healing factor. I do like the idea of the Rig as both measuring a user's overall health AND a measure of how much of this solution they have left a lot, though. It would also explain why you can get down to red, basically a one hit kill, but you don't collapse from Bloodloss or pass out from pain or even show any signs of slowing down or loss of function. But when the rig is red, and you get hit with more force than be fixed - you're done. As we see with anyone who WASN'T wearing an armoured Rig Suit, Necromorphs can one-hit kill just about anyone. But if the person was being healed as they get hit by an amount of the solution that corresponded to how much they were hurt, it explains why they can take so much punishment. Isaac gets stabbed like... a lot. In places where he shouldn't be able to move his arms after taking the hit. This theory explains why he can keep moving after all that AND explains why he doesn't show any signs of damage.

Your channel is much better than game theory. You explain things in a more analyzing way and more scientific. Game theory on the other hand only knows how to talk about FNAF. Keep up the good work roanoke.

[@corbanmadson7239]

Since we’re talking about the future, the packs could be containers of synthetic Plasma which is basically perfect nutritional shakes for our body. This is kinda what you described. The packs would probably be a mixture of plasma, stem cells and maybe a hormone to force our body to release endorphins which is our natural painkiller. All that combined with the insane amount of adrenaline anyone would experience in that situation, you’d be next to super human.

[@11kwilliamsck99]

Your theory on the Dead Space R.I.G. armor and health packs are very informative as well as interesting.

[@trapnexus7888]

i think this is the only channel i would even consider becoming a patron of if i had money

[@jasonthomson1761]

I remember when I wanted to make videos about Dead Space lore. But channels like this only solidify that I would be dead in the water. So I'll just watch someone else do it. Great channel.

[@RoanokeGaming]

glad you enjoy it man, but honestly, if you love dead space and want to make videos, you should go for it because its something you enjoy!

[@ven2269]

I truly enjoy this type of videos, especially yours man... You are awesome, i wish you the best for your channel. Oh and refering to this video, i think your explination is pretty accurate. P.S: Sorry for my broken english, Mi ingles no bueno. :)

[@RoanokeGaming]

Your english seemed pretty good to me! and I am glad to hear you are enjoying them!

[@ven2269]

It is not hard to enjoy them, you are great host/narrator, keep up the amazing work. P.S: I found your channel like 3 or 4 days ago and i really loved it.

[@guyperson7620]

It’s amazing how you are able to take something and make me view an different way please keep it up

[@RoanokeGaming]

absolutely man! glad to hear you are enjoying the hypothesis!

[@tfallspark5104]

Best hypothesis I have heard!

[@RoanokeGaming]

Thats excellent to hear!

[@MalavolentGaming]

I'm genuinely really happy to see you start branching out a bit here and there. Keep it up my dude! Also merch.

[@RoanokeGaming]

The merch will be coming in 2019! and I am happy to be doing it, I thought maybe morphology videos were getting a little stale so I try to keep it mixed up, glad you enjoyed it!

[@sorcikator993]

That's a pretty good way to explain a basic health bar in a way that feel believable and fit in-universe. Good job!

[@RoanokeGaming]

Thanks man! Glad you agree

[@heretichunter1256]

As far as i know, you're better than game theory.

[@RoanokeGaming]

High praise! Thank you for the compliment man!

[@IwataniSenju]

Just came from the Baron vid and found this a great way to find out more about how Isaac is able to survive all of the punishment he takes

[@RoanokeGaming]

Hope you enjoy it bro!

[@AnimexFiendFullmetal]

This was such a cool video. I've honestly never really thought about what the health packs could be.

[@RoanokeGaming]

Glad you enjoyed it man :)

[@dumbbellwarrior5102]

Glad to see you're rising up in KZbin. I remember when I was 12 and watched your Prototype 2 playthrough videos back in 2014.

[@RoanokeGaming]

Thanks my dude! but I feel you may have me confused with someone else, I started back in january! thanks for watching though!

[@dumbbellwarrior5102]

Roanoke Gaming. Oops I did, I confused you with TheRadBrad😂

[@bravomike4734]

Yep, I do think that the thing on the back is a hollow tube of a medical compound which is found inside the health packs instead of just an electrical LED glow. I think we die when the liquid runs out because we are out of compounds to stabilize our failing body instead of the body reaching its critical limit and the system detecting that. So I think it is an active healing system with the liquid being actively pumped into the body on detection of an impact / damage rather than being a passive reading which wouldn't help extend the life of a human at all. So using medic kits are less like healing yourself but replenishing the liquid reservoir that's actively healing you. Although this theory does kinda get strained in dead space 2 because they look like LED hologram displays rather than a tank filled with biolumiscent liquid.

[@usosaito.namahage]

Always a sucker for Dead Space videos. Keep them pumping!

[@RealMrSoundWave]

What you’re not at 100k that’s unbelievable you definitely deserve it Ik you’ll reach it

[@RoanokeGaming]

Thanks my dude! I hope to reach it late december early january! I am fortunate thats for sure!

[@Magnus.Rasmussen]

Goodamn Roanoke, that's a pretty solid explaination! Always love this channel!

[@RoanokeGaming]

Yaaaaaas Glad you enjoyed it man!

[@Magnus.Rasmussen]

@@RoanokeGamingNo probs dude. Huge respect from here. I've been massive Dead Space fan since the first games release! You inspire me and now I feel like doing my content on it too. Would you mind if I refer to your channel in my videos?

[@jl-fy3zj]

I don't know if you edited it or if it was already a meme that I've never seen but I lost it at the life alert operator hanging up on the old lady.

[@SorryBones]

Never thought of the “health bar” as anything but a digital indicator. The health gel actually being stored in the spinal part of the RIG is for sure my new headcanon. Great video!

[@spawnbreach3883]

I wish I discovered you sooner.I'm just binge watching your vids.

[@RoanokeGaming]

Glad you are enjoying them broseph!

[@Nasko_Nikolov]

You could also add some sort of nanobots to further enhance the fluids' healing capabilities. A

[@presidentbruh401]

perhaps the suit itself is like a bandage given the fabric like underlayer, good theories bro

[@tatsumikun1566]

Haha 😄 that commercial is funny. "IM falling and I can't get up"cx Aside from the rigs I really love the ascetic of the health system I don't have to look at my Healthbar really keeps the game alerted from your progress and survival. Though I do believe it does connect your on your bone structure on your neck. Connected to your heart and Mind.

[@jacoballen9789]

This is my favorite channel, I just gotta say

[@RoanokeGaming]

yaaaas I am glad to see you say that bro!

[@praetorianrex5571]

Which ten characters would you say have the best healing factor? From games, movies, and shows, who can you think of?

[@anounamiss4653]

You've never miss lead before. Ill buy this explanation, its better than any other one

[@RoanokeGaming]

Thanks man! But if you have an idea Id love to hear it!

[@starsilverinfinity]

Lol great vid Roanoke, also that Game Theory reference lol and those memes

[@RoanokeGaming]

Hope you enjoyed it bro!

[@starsilverinfinity]

Roanoke Gaming yeah ?I did!

[@Nevirate]

Now I want a rig unit to survive that kind of punishment with that supply of liquid.

[@RoanokeGaming]

Wouldnt it be nice?

[@Morningstar_95]

A minute in and there's a cutaway gag of hanging up on a life alert victim. I almost fell off the porcelain throne laughing

[@RoanokeGaming]

Glad you enjoyed it bro!

[@coryray14]

God I love listening to this stuff at 2 in the morning when I can't sleep. I relearn some stuff and answer questions that kept me up when dead space 2 came out. Lol

[@RoanokeGaming]

get some sleep brometheus! but I am glad you enjoyed the video!

[@davereyes7250]

I've been watching your stuff hardcore while doing my solo grinds and told my bois about you and we are all big fans cause you make something for us all to enjoy. Love your stuff alot and forget to like so I'll be sure 3rd time around this playlist to give you what you deserve. Top tier videos

[@johnsmith-tf8xb]

The bar being a literal canister would explain why you can increase your health bar at a bench. I don't think nodes would magically increase your life expectancy. It would also explain the more raised design in later games with the health bar extending away from the body.

[@RoanokeGaming]

Glad you agree my dude!

[@deltacx1059]

I would say not only would it have what you said but i think they would also have nutrients and carbohydrates because all those cells need energy and materials from somewhere.
