The Vintage Suit is a suit that provides the wearer with 15% damage resistance, 20 inventory slots and 10% discount for all items in the Store. Despite its bulky appearance, it does not slow Isaac down.

It is an old, antiquated CEC suit, consisting of a bulky brown space suit and a folding utility space helmet, as well as other various equipment, including an oxygen tank on the left shoulderplate, a heads-up display/holographic projector on the sternum, and a calculator on the left sleeve. The suit possesses various other tools necessary for a space walk. Compared to later models, all of the above are noticeably outdated; for example, rather than being integrated inside of the suit, the oxygen tank is clearly visible on the outside.

VariantsEdit

GameplayEdit

This suit provides 15% damage protection, gives the player a 10% cost discount at stores, and has 20 inventory slots. It costs 40,000 Credits.

Location

The schematic can be found in a Power Node locked room early on in Chapter 8. If not picked up here it will be added to the store automatically in a later chapter.

TriviaEdit

The suit's appearance is based partly on present-day EVA space suits and partly on old-fashioned deep diving suits. Isaac is wearing an under-armor jumpsuit covering his entire body, which is used to protect soft tissue from moving parts inside the suit and the heat of working in it under stressful situations, such as during EVA.
Unlike other suits in Dead Space 2, the Vintage Suit doesn't have thrusters on the scapulas. Just the feet. It doesn't affect mobility in Zero-G, however.
The suit features a Bio-sign monitoring system, despite the fact Dead Space 3's Suit Kiosks describe the CEC Engineering Suit as being the first suit to feature the system. It's unknown if the Vintage Suit canonically had the Bio-sign monitoring system or has it simply for gameplay purposes.
In the Transport Hub, where the player meets up with Ellie and Stross, a Vintage Suit can be found on display behind a glass window at the CEC store, and that place is in fact where the Schematics for the Elite Vintage Suit can be found in New Game+.
Some players have noted that the Vintage Suit slightly resembles the Big Daddy Diving Suit from Bioshock.
This is the only suit that has a head cover; Sometimes referred to as a "Snoopy Cap".
