Everything that Transfers to New Game Plus in Dead Space

The good news is that virtually everything from your first playthrough carries over into your second adventure. When you choose to start New Game Plus, Dead Space will display a message stating, “Starting a New Game Plus will carry over weapons items, credits, and upgrades from your completed playthrough. They can be retrieved from the Storage of any Store you encounter. You can expect to face new enemies and perhaps find new mysteries to uncover.”

This is welcome news to any players who saved up excess ammo, stasis, health, power nodes, etc., in their first run.
