Like Hardcore Mode, Pure Survival is unlocked after completing the game on any difficulty.To complete this mode, players will have to think ahead about what they will use their resources for, whether it is upgrading their weapons, their RIG, or for supplies. Completing the game on this mode unlocks all Mk-II Overclocked weapon parts and a set number of each type of resource for every saved game and new game created. You will only be required to pick up Logs, Artifacts and complete Optional and Co-Op missions for 100% Completion. The weapon parts and upgrade circuit pickups are also removed from the game. The enemies are set to Hard in terms of durability and damage output. EVERYTHING players need will need to be crafted at the Bench, including health, ammo, stasis, weapon parts and the like. Pure Survival mode is a New Game + mode introduced in Dead Space 3. In this mode, enemies will not drop Med Packs, Stasis Packs, or Ammo Clips, but resources will appear in place of them in larger quantities than normal. You can help Dead Space Wiki by expanding it.
