You can also share the guns you’ve created with friends. In Dead Space 3, you can also craft weapons in addition to upgrading them, build them from scratch, choosing a frame, handle, engine, primary adapter (which effects which form projectiles will be shot as) and more.

Long term series fans had a bit of objection to the direction taken by Visceral Games, but EA is targeting 5 million sales this time around, so the change in direction is completely expected. The game has become more action oriented with Dead Space 3 having a co-op mechanic and more emphasis on moving down the Necromorphs.
