Learn how to unlock the Z-Baller Trophy in Dead Space (Remake) by mastering the Zero-G Basketball minigame. Get tips on scoring and reaching Level 6.

Alright, so you're aiming for that Z-Baller Trophy in Dead Space (Remake)? Awesome! It's all about the Zero-G Basketball minigame, and you can't even get to it until you've made it to Chapter 10 - End of Days. Once you're there, head to the Crew Deck, and you'll find the Zero-G Gym.

Before you even think about shooting hoops, you'll want to clear out the room. There are a couple of Lurkers in there, and trust me, you don't want them peppering you with shots while you're trying to focus on the game. A few well-placed shots with the Plasma Cutter on its vertical setting should do the trick.

How to Reach Level 6 in Zero-G Basketball

Now for the main event! To score, you need to fly up and get right in front of the hoops. Keep an eye out for the ball being fired from one of the three ejectors – they're located top-right, top-left, and on the roof. Once the ball is out, you'll need to snag it with your Kinesis Module. On PlayStation, you'll hold R2 to activate Kinesis, and on Xbox, it's RT. After you've got a grip on the ball, it's time to launch it. On PlayStation, press R1, and on Xbox, it's RB.

How to Score More Points in Zero-G Basketball

To rack up those points, you'll want to quickly press R1 (PlayStation) or RB (Xbox) to throw the ball into the hoops. But here's the kicker: you need a whopping 220 points for the Z-Baller Trophy/Achievement. So, to give yourself the best shot, pay attention to these details:

  • Glowing Hoops: You'll notice some hoops start glowing. Always aim for these! They give you bonus points, which you'll desperately need to hit that 220 mark.
  • Shielded Hoops: As you get closer to Level 6, some hoops will get shielded. Don't waste precious seconds trying to throw the ball into a blocked hoop. Keep your eyes peeled and avoid them!

Reaching Level 6 is your goal here. Once you've managed it, just exit the arena. You'll see six lockers that have unlocked, and inside, you'll find some great rewards, including a Node to help you upgrade your gear further. And, of course, you'll finally earn that Z-Baller Trophy!
