To get Security Clearance 1 to unlock doors in the Dead Space remake, players simply have to play through Chapter 2 until they find the Captain’s RIG. Upon obtaining the RIG, Security Clearance 1 will become available.
Dead Space Remake: Security Clearance 1 location
In the Dead Space remake, Security Clearance 1 is located in the Morgue.
Specifically, it’s attached to the Captain’s RIG, which is acquired after defeating the Captain when he transforms into a Necromorph. Upon defeating the Captain, Security Clearance 1 will be automatically equipped.
Once Security Clearance 1 is obtained, players can open doors marked with “1.” They will also be able to open crates and lockers that are locked behind the clearance requirement. For 100% completion, players will need to backtrack and revisit previous areas in order to explore rooms that were previously inaccessible.
While Security Clearance 1 is useful, it is only the first of several different Clearance levels. As players progress through the game, they will gain new clearances and be able to open more locked doors.
