First Contact Bundle

First Contact Suit: This unique EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity) suit was built by the SCAF

(Sovereign Colonies Armed Forces) for encounters with "foreign entities. It sports a flamboyant

golden finish to provide protection from long-term space exposure and thick armor for unspecified

reasons. The suit was given the nickname "First Contact" by the scientists who made it.

Negotiator Weapon: While technically classified by the SCAF as a "scientific instrument, the

gold-plated "Negotiator" is loaded with some surprisingly aggressive hardware. The overclocked, top-

mounted Tesla Beam is capable of bursting a man-sized organism into several pieces with a single

shot. The bottom-mounted Linegun appears to have been built with the sole purpose of cleanly

dismembering organic tissue from a distance.

Witness the Truth Bundle

Witness Suit: These insulated suits were worn by a SCAF deep dig team assigned to exhume

the darkest secrets of Tau Volantis. Whatever they found locked deep in the ice changed them forever.When they emerged weeks later, they were covered head to toe in strange graffiti and claimed to be

"Witnesses to the Truth.

Evangelizer Weapon: A modification of the standard AL-2 used by the Sovereign Colonies

Legionaries, this version sports a souped-up AL-2g assault rifle on the top with an Emerson 2100 "Big

Boy" tactical shotgun on the bottom. The surviving "Witnesses" of the SCAF deep dig team dubbed it

the Evangelizer and decorated them top to bottom with strange symbols.

Winner of more than 15 critic awards at E3 2012 including Best of Show from Game Informer

Magazine (third largest consumer magazine in the U.S.**), Dead Space 3 cuts to the heart of deepspace terror. The game is recognized by game critics worldwide for its incredible craftsmanship in

horror, action, suspense and sound design. Players will embark on a thrilling ride through space that

takes them to a hostile new planet, Tau Volantis. Fortunately, they are not alone this time around. The

fully integrated drop-in/drop-out co-op feature gives players the option to play alone or team-up with

a friend anytime. Players that choose to take down the terror together will experience additional story

details, side missions and gameplay mechanics only found when playing as John Carver.
