Final Notes
- Once you activate the items with your Dead Space 3 Save Game(s), the items will remain with those saves. You can remove the Dead Space 2 or Mass Effect 3 Save Games from your computer without losing the Planet Cracker Plasma Cutter or N7 Suit from your Dead Space 3 Save Game(s).
- If you remove the Dead Space 2 or Mass Effect 3 Save Games, any new Dead Space 3 Save Game(s) will not include the Planet Cracker Plasma Cutter or N7 Suit until you place those save files back, restart Dead Space 3, and reload the saves.
