In this guide, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to get the Master Override in Dead Space Remake, as well as the locations of all the RIGs needed to create it.
Dead Space Remake is a reimagined sci-fi horror video game that offers an eerie and thrilling experience. Players are put in the shoes of Isaac Clarke as they explore the Ishimura spaceship, fighting against Necromorphs and solving puzzles to progress through the game. However, as you progress, you may come across doors, containers, or crates that are locked and inaccessible. These locked areas can contain valuable rewards and loot, but how can you get to them? The answer lies in the Master Override.
What is the Master Override in Dead Space Remake?
The Master Override is a key that allows you to unlock doors, containers, or crates in the game. It can be created by finding all the RIGs scattered around the Ishimura, as part of the “You are not authorized” side quest.
How to Get the Master Override in Dead Space Remake
- Start the “You are not authorized” side quest by interacting with the Bridge security in Captain’s Nest during Chapter 4.
- Navigate to the Missions Menu and select the side quest.
- Choose one of the objectives, which is to find a particular RIG.
- Use the Track Objective button to lead you to the location of the RIG.
- Repeat the process until you have found all RIG locations.
- Go to the Bridge at the Captain’s Nest and create the Master Override on the console.
All RIG Locations
To create the Master Override, you must find the RIGs of all officers around Ishimura. Here is a list of all the officers and their respective RIG locations:
- Hangar Overseer Voulnkner’s RIG: Near O2 Recharge station in the Hanger Bay to the left.
- Mining Supervisor Dallas’ RIG: Inside the Mineral Processing Control Room.
- Comms Officer Bailey’s RIG: In the Communications Control Room past the Comms Mess Hall on the third floor.
- Tram Supervisor Benson’s RIG: Inside the Tram Maintenance Tunnels.
- Chief Engineer Rosseau’s RIG: Fuel storage engineering room on the top floor.
- First Officer White’s RIG: Outside the Ishimura past the third ADS cannon inside an ADS Cannon Trench.
- Lt. Commander Holt’s RIG: On the second floor of the Hydroponics below the Necromorph tissue.
It is important to note that you must complete the “You are not authorized” side quest before reaching Chapter 11, as you will reach the point of no return after that. Once you have created the Master Override, you can unlock different areas with rewards or loot inside them, including ammo and credits.
