In the first play-through of DS I only used the Plasma cutter and it was fun at first but then it was so powerful most enemies were a breeze. now up to chapter 6 in DS2 and haven't really cared to buy other guns. Is there any recommendations for the other guns, because otherwise I'm just going to be saving up to by more types of RIG's.
Why do I feel that I'll just new game plus it?
Dead Space 2
Game » consists of 18 releases. Released Jan 25, 2011
Dead Space 2 is the sequel to the 2008 surprise hit Dead Space. The no-longer-silent Isaac Clarke finds himself trapped on a city-sized space station called the Sprawl, which has been overtaken by another Necromorph infestation.
Plasma Cutter, its been great
I went through the first game with basically just the plasma cutter too. I'm really liking the line gun this time though.
You might want to invest in the Force Gun for certain encounters towards the end of the game. Great for clearing a room and making some space.
The Falmethrower is pretty cool, and I like the contact beam too.
I also like the seeker rifle, not because I think it's a particularly good gun, but just because it's satisfying to kill enemies with.
I went through most of the game using the pulse rife, I felt that it was a really good gun (accurate, fast rate of fire) but its not as powerful as the line gun.

The machine gun was awful in the first game - rapid fire but couldn't cut off limbs efficiently so mainly useless. Once you upgrade the power in DS2 though it tears them up if you aim well. Also best gun to have equipped when you go into those quick-time event style scenarios where you can only shoot and not move. So much easier.
The Seeker Rifle is godly. It's basically just the DS equivalent of a Sniper Rifle but oh man, it's powerful and when you zoom in it has a damage bonus. On Zealot I was killing enemies in two shots without upgrading anything on it. I just finished fully upgrading it and have yet to test it out - I'm expecting epic proportions.
Have not tested all of them out myself but all weapons seem to be viable this time around.
A lot of people seem to be praising the Impaler due to the fact that when upgraded it has the DMG of the Contact Beam but the ammo for it is dirt cheap, most enemies die in 1 hit.
The force gun is the best gun in the game. You don't even have to aim with it unless you're using the alternate fire, which, by the way, is fucking devastating. I can't understand why so few people appreciate the force gun.
