'Everybody will find at least one of these bots in the game (and there a couple hidden ones to pick up, too.) The Scavenger Bot is an autonomous robot that can harvest resources for you and deliver them to the Tool Construction bench,' Dead Space 3 executive producer Steve Papoutsis explained in a blog post addressing the various DLC packs. We contacted EA for more information about the add-ons (spotted on the US PlayStation Store this week) but the publisher was not able to provide UK pricing. And another for speeding up its loot collection ($4.99). There's a pack to upgrade your bots' capacity ($4.99 - about £3.15), and another for beefing up its personality ($4.99). And it's these little mechanical fellows that you can pay to upgrade.

You also get them delivered to you via scavenger bots. In Dead Space 3 you can find weapon parts and resources scattered around the game's world. Still, the DLC extras do tie into the same crafting system. These options are separate to the in-game micro-transactions that Eurogamer revealed last week, which allow you to sheets of real world cash on extra resources for the game's weapon-crafting system. Dead Space 3 will launch with nearly a dozen slices of DLC, designed to help players accrue in-game loot faster and kit out hero Isaac Clarke with new weapons and suits.
