One single shot from the Force Gun is enough to entirely dismember a corpse grabbed by an Infector, making the Infector give up from infecting it.As a result, be wary of using the Force Gun on an elevated platform if you need ammo or health drops. The Force Gun's blast is capable of sending items in the vicinity flying away.However, remember not to allow other enemies to sneak up on you while you're battering your opponent. If you knock an enemy to the ground, run up to it and shoot it at point-blank range while it is still getting up doing so will stun-lock your opponent and allow you to finish it off in short order.

Use it only when enemies get too close to you, as its destructive power falls away rapidly with distance.

The Force Gun's primary discharge is designed for close-range effectiveness.

After entering the West Grow Chamber from Flow Control, there will be a room at the furthest corner to the left with a Level 2 Security Clearance labelled 'West Seedling Room A', where the Force Gun can be found beside a dead scientist.

In Dead Space (2023), the Force Gun can be found in the West Grow Chamber of the Hydroponics deck (first accessible in Chapter 6).

With upgrades, the well can deal damage over time to enemies trapped inside. In Dead Space (2023), the alt-fire shoots a gravity well that pulls in Necromorphs upon contact with a surface and holds them there for a brief period. In Dead Space 2, the alt-fire shoots a narrow beam with a brief charge time that can penetrate through multiple Necromorphs. Upgraded, the secondary fire can blow creatures to pieces.

If it doesn't come into contact with a foe, it will roll around for a few seconds before exploding. In Dead Space, the alt-fire shoots a spherical, low-speed projectile (called a Force Bomb) that explodes upon impact with an enemy. While the Force Gun's primary fire won't blow many of the tougher enemies to pieces, it will knock them back and away, creating breathing room in tough situations.

Due to its short range, the Force gun is only viable for close-quarter combat. The closer an enemy is to this blast, the more damage is caused. In combat, the Force Gun functions much like a shotgun the primary fire shoots a wide kinetic blast of energy outwards, damaging everything in front of it.
