Unlockable: Respec Ability

At the start of Chapter 7, Isaac may respec his weapons, RIG, and modules. This ability lets him take out all the power nodes in a piece of equipment and re-assign them elsewhere. Each time you "respec" an item, it will cost 5000 CR.

Achievement / Trophy Hint: Peng's Treasure

In Chapter 7, locate the mainframe room where ANTI is. One of the circuit rooms will have breakers that turn blue in addition to being green or red (it's the left breaker room, if ANTI's hologram emitters are behind Isaac). Insert the four breakers in that circuit room so they are blue, and the access tunnel leads to the Peng Treasure.

Unlockable: Plasma Cutter for Veterans

If you have a save on your hard drive from Dead Space 1 you'll begin the game with access to the Plasma Cutter from the first game. Your upgrades to the weapon from the previous game will not carry over.

Achievement / Trophy Hint: Lightspeed de Milo

Shortly after entering stage 3 (after the train scene) you enter a couple of shop areas. The second has a blue statue that looks like a fat, blue Astro Boy (so, like Mega Man? --Ed). Shoot the head and arms off to unlock the Trophy/Achievement.

Hint: Free Health

You can use the shop and the work bench to get easy health boosts. Each time you don a suit for the first time -- after buying it in the shop -- your health is filled to maximum. This only works the first time you put on each suit, but with the extra downloadable suits you can do this several times throughout the game.

Alternately, once you can purchase the Respec ability (5000 Credits), you can strip the Power Nodes from the Rig and replace them for full health -- this costs less than, say, buying a large health pack.

Cheat: Unlimited Credits (DLC Required)

If you've purchased the Supernova or Martial Law DLC packs, you have access to a free Detonator weapon. Go to the Store and buy the weapon for 0 credits. Fire the mines at a nearby wall, then deactivate and retrieve them. DO NOT RELOAD! Sell the mines at the store for credits and sell the free Detonator. Buy it back -- it now has full ammo again so you can repeat this indefinitely!

Unlockable: Handcannon

Beat the game on Hardcore to unlock a red foam hand called the Handcannon. It's extremely powerful, with infinite ammo, but has no laser sight (not that it matters).

Cheat: Infinite Nodes, Semi Conductors and Cash

In Chapter 15, the final room contains a bench/store and save point. Backtrack down the corridor. There is a room that you must open with a Power Node, it contains 2 Power Nodes, a Ruby Semiconductor and some random items. Collect them and return to the save point. Save your game and reload it. Return to the locked Node room again and the items will have returned! You can repeat this process indefinitely.

You can also do this at the Node-locked room in Chapter 7.
