In Deadspace, the flamer is a makeshift weapon used for welding. In a spaceship, a flamethrower is effectively a suffocation weapon (like poison gas) since it can burn up more oxygen than what O2 cyclers or plants can replenish. IGN would like to take time out now to remind the sole reason Ellen Ripley could use a flamethrower in Alien 2 (James Cameron's Aliens) is because she was on a planet. Note if you put weapons into storage and end a chapter, it will only have 1 unit of ammunition when you pull it out of storage in the next chapter. The tutorials will not cover the use of weapons. This section will cover the basics of the weapons in the original disc-game (and none of that downloadable crap), as well as the special abilities you get in 5 to 10 minutes into the game Kinesis and Stasis).
