There are 20 collectibles in the first chapter of the Dead Space Remake, including logs and Nodes, both of which you’ll need for trophies and achievements. In New Arrivals, as in other chapters, there are automatic pickups that you can’t miss and quite a few hidden items that count toward various trophies and achievements.
Of course, all of the collectibles in New Arrivals expand on the story and the game’s lore. This guide tells you where to find them, including logs and Nodes. You’ll also pick up the Plasma cutter and the Stasis Module in New Arrivals, and have the opportunity to nab your first suit upgrade near the end.
Note: You’ll automatically pick up eight logs as you follow the critical path:
- Audio Log: Run!
- Video Log: Repair the Tram System
- Audio Log: Dismemberment
- Audio Log: Replaced the Tram Car
- Audio Log: Found the Data Board
- Audio Log: En Route to the Bridge
- Audio Log: Arrived at the Bridge
- Video Log: Get to Medical
In total, you’ll find 16 missable logs and 4 missable Nodes. You’ll also find one weapon (the Plasma Cutter) and one Stasis Module; both are impossible to overlook. Finally, you’ll also be able to grab a suit upgrade at the end of the level at the first shop, though you could technically get the suit upgrade later, whenever you have the 10,000 Credits and desire to do so.
To be clear, this guide does not cover the locations for the Marker Fragments found in New Game Plus. That is the subject of another guide I’m currently working on.
