Isaac Clarke is a systems engineer, not a soldier. This is reflected in his abilities and the tools he uses. His strength lies in his ingenuity and ability to adapt. He relies on repurposed mining tools as weapons, and his engineering background allows him to utilize Stasis and Kinesis to manipulate the environment and control Necromorphs. Isaac's RIG (Resource Integration Gear) suit is his lifeline, providing health, oxygen, and environmental protection. Understanding Isaac's core abilities is the foundation of any successful playthrough.
