Our next suit upgrade involves increasing our inventory capacity to 26 Total Slots in the game. This will require us to purchase the Level 4 Suit for Issac from the shop in Dead Space Remake. However, just like the level 3 suit, we will first need to find a schematic in order to make the level 4 suit become available for purchase. And that schematic is the Intermediate Miner RIG Schematics.

During Chapter 7, you will make your way to the Repair Room of the Mining Deck in your search for the SOS Beacon in the game. Make your way to the Equipment Room when you’re in the Mining Deck. That room has also been highlighted in the map image shown above.

Take that schematic back to the shop, and the level 4 suit will become available for purchase for 35,000 Credits in Dead Space Remake. Purchasing that suit will not only upgrade your maximum number of inventory slots to 26, but it will also increase your armor by 15%.
30 Inventory Slots
The last inventory upgrade is received by purchasing the Level 5 Suit in the game, which increases our Inventory Slots to 30. This suit upgrade is also unlocked by first obtaining a specific schematic for it. That schematic is known as the Advanced Engineering RIG Schematics, and it can be obtained while playing through Chapter 10 of the main story in the game.

When you’re inside Crew Quarters, make your way to the location shown on the map above. The room that you need to go inside is highlighted in red and is known as the Locker Room And Showers in Dead Space Remake. Once inside that room, you will find the schematic that you need for the level 5 suit in the game. Bring that schematic back to any shop, and the level 5 suit should become available for purchase.

You will need approximately 60,000 Credits in order to purchase the suit. Once you’ve made that purchase, your inventory slots will increase to the maximum amount of 30, and you will additionally receive a 20% increase in your defense in the game.
