It appears Isaac is more nimble out in the cold.

The left/right evasive roll is unquestionably the most significant change we know of in his new skill set. Crouching is one of Isaac's most notable new abilities, and it functions as his means of cover as he hides behind small objects. Isaac ClarkeIsaac's armor in Dead Space 3 reflects the slender, angular design of his Dead Space 2 RIG, which is reflected in his co-op partner as well. It's possible this is the default loadout for the weapon, but it could also point to customization weapon combinations within the new workbench. The Pulse Rifle features the saw-blades as a secondary firing mode. Its alt-fire mode now has a similar knockback effect to the Force Gun. The Plasma Cutter, whose default horizontal shot changed to vertical, is an entirely different weapon now.

Alternate-fire in Dead Space 3 functions much differently than before, possibly because the workbench, where players previously upgraded weapon power, reload speed, and capacity, has changed.
