Dead Space Stats Only 22% Found Peng, Capacity Most Upgraded Node and More

Dead Space Update 1.000.003

Three weeks into the game’s launch, Motive Studio has released some interesting Dead Space stats aggregated from player data across platforms. Dead Space’s Plasma Cutter has been the most used weapon since the launch of the game, and players appear to have a particular interest in dismembering Necromorphs’ legs (as expected). Not only that, but the Peng treasure has been found by just a fraction of the player base!

Since the game launched last month, the Plasma Cutter has been the most used weapon, even though it is supposed to be an early-game armament. Perhaps the weapon’s particularly effective combination with Stasis and the remake’s dismemberment improvements lend themselves to a particularly gory association.

On the subject of dismemberment, 187 million Necromorph legs have been chopped off by players since release, compared to 136 million arms and 81 million tentacles. Here are some other disturbingly fun stats:

  • The melee stomp ability was used 193,503,788 times on enemies for loot.
  • The Stasis time dilation ability was used on enemies 61,672,091 times.
  • Players died of asphyxiation 168,872 times.
  • 20.73% of players completed the Premeditated Malpractice side quest. 19.18% completed the “You Are Not Authorized” side quest, and 20.73% of players completed the Scientific Methods side quest.
  • The Z-Baller (zero-gravity basketball) achievement was completed 171,362 times.
  • Players have accumulated a total of 7,516,573 deaths so far.
  • The Slasher enemy has the most player kills.
  • Players have died to the Hunter 87,655 times.
  • The most upgraded weapon node is Capacity.
  • The most upgraded suit node is Health (HP).
  • 22.69% of players have found the infamous Peng Treasure.
