Dead Space 2 may have aged over a decade, but its secrets continue to attract the gaming community, revealing hidden gems even some of its developers didn’t know existed.
As players navigate the eerie corridors of The Sprawl, ensuring protagonist Isaac Clarke’s survival against the relentless Necromorphs requires ample resources, a task made easier by a surprising discovery.
A revelation shared by a Reddit user, wetodd1337, via GamesRadar+, sent shockwaves through the community: destroying an in-game ATM yields a whopping 10,000 credits, the largest currency drop in the game.
13 years and I’ve only now realized you can destroy the ATMs and get credits and the ig medical stations? And get stasis.

This unexpected windfall offers a significant boost to players scouring the desolate space station for survival essentials.
But the surprises didn’t end there. Wetodd1337’s exploration further uncovered that obliterating a medical station rewarded them with a Stasis Module, adding another layer to resource management strategies.
While these mechanics likely existed since the game’s launch in 2011, the majority of players were oblivious to these lucrative options, leaving veterans astonished at the untapped potential lying within the game’s mechanics.
Perhaps even more astonishing is the fact that Seth Hall, a visual effects artist who contributed to Dead Space 2’s development, was unaware of this hidden feature.
The revelation sparked speculation about its impact on gameplay dynamics, with debates swirling around whether it might trivialize certain aspects of the storyline.
Some users speculate that the trick might be exclusive to specific machines, given the potential imbalance it could introduce if universally applicable.
Nonetheless, this newfound knowledge promises to enhance the experience for long-time fans revisiting the spine-chilling world of Dead Space 2.
Whether it’s for amassing credits or acquiring crucial supplies, the discovery of these hidden mechanics adds an exciting layer to the game’s already immersive survival horror gameplay.
As players continue to uncover its secrets, Dead Space 2 proves that even after years, its dark corridors still hold surprises waiting to be unearthed.
