• New Game + mode

Successfully complete the game on any difficulty to unlock New Game + mode. This mode allows you to start a second playthrough with all your weapons, items, and inventory from the previous game.

• Hardcore mode

Successfully complete the game on any difficulty to unlock the Hardcore difficulty. This difficulty is equivalent to the Zealot difficulty, but only allows you to restart from the last saved game. It also only allows you to save three times during the entire campaign, and cannot be started from a New Game +.

• Re-spec ability

At the start of Chapter 7, you will have the option to re-spec your weapons, RIG, and stasis module. This ability allows you to take out all the power nodes in a piece of equipment and re-assign them elsewhere. Each time you re-spec an item, it will cost 5000 CR. This ability does not help you get the trophy for upgrading all your equipment, but it is helpful to re-assign (or take back) power nodes from weapons you do not use anymore. Additionally, you can use this ability to refill Isaac's health at any workbench. If you re-spec the RIG, any changes to a health node will reset Isaac's health to the new maximum. For 5,000 credits, a re-spec is cheaper than a large medikit.

• Easy credits

Purchase the Supernova or Martial Law downloadable content. Then, go to the store, and purchase the Detonator weapon for free. Fire all the mines at a wall, then deactivate them and collect them. Do not reload the Detonator. Sell the mines and Detonator for credits at the store. Buy the Detonator back for free, and it will be fully stocked. Repeat this process as many times as desired.
