Requirements

You’ll need to download HxD, a way to open the file we will be modding. You can download it here.

Where to Begin

Next, once you’ve downloaded HxD, right click on Dead Space 2 on Steam, go to Manage, and click on Browse local files. It’ll open up the location of Dead Space 2’s files.

Right click on any .DAT file that is 0.92 gigabytes (For instance, mine is DS2DAT6.DAT. Yours could be different), and open with HxD. This is the part where you can choose to unlock various suits to your liking.

Development Team Suits

For secret developer suits, search for “matchett”,
“ui_placeholder_skin_name”,
“ui_placeholder_skin_desc”,
-100
and change -100 to 0000. This unlocks a secret developer skin, which doesn’t say which color it is.
