Because on Hard Difficulty and beyond, you could save up points and stick to the all-powerful Plasma Cutter, buying nodes with your extra cash to deal maximum damage on enemies. The same trick can be used to stock up on health items - if you aren’t carrying health items, the game is much more likely to spawn one from a downed enemy or in a locker. You’re mostly only getting ammo for weapons you currently have equipped, and there’s a good reason for that. Some items you find in the environment are set-in-stone, while items from lockers, crates and item boxes are almost all completely randomized. Like Resident Evil 4, Dead Space drops items semi-randomly. You can manipulate RNG and load up valuable ammo. One of the oldest tricks from the original game is still here.

The 2023 Dead Space remake is full of small surprises for fans of the original game - there are new side-quests that expand the story, new zero-g mechanics for exploring outside the ship, and new enemy variants waiting for players digging into the NG+ mode.
