Dead Space Remake (PS5 / PC version) has 12 Marker Fragment Locations. Finding all Marker Fragments is required for the New Secret Alternative Ending and to earn the Reunion trophy / achievement.
Marker Fragments are a new collectible type in the Remake of Dead Space. They did not exist in the PS3 version. The Marker Fragments are exclusively available in New Game Plus. They do not spawn on the first playthrough. After beating the game for the first time on any difficulty (story difficulty will suffice) you can start New Game+ on your second playthrough and the Marker Fragments will spawn.
Upon completing the game, you will be rewarded with the following items for use in New Game Plus:
- 50,000 Credits
- 10 Nodes
- 5 Logs (Side Missions)
- Advanced Soldier Rig (Suit Level 6) – purchasable in New Game Plus for 99,000 Credits
If you completed the game on Impossible, you will also be rewarded with the following:
- Burnished Suit
- Hand Cannon
New Game Plus will contain the 12 Marker Fragments to collect, which must be collected in order to unlock the new alternative ending. There will be one in every chapter, except Chapters 5/10, which will have 2 each, and Chapters 9/12 which won’t have a fragment. All collectibles from your previous playthrough carry over into New Game Plus, so if you missed anything, you can collect it during this playthrough. This guide also contains the last suit upgrade which you can buy during New Game+ for 99,000 credits to unlock 
Maxed Out, but this isn’t needed for the Fragments or secret ending.

If you miss a Marker in the chapter it’s first available, can you get it near the end of the game (e.g. start of chapter 11)?
Archavia says
Yes, they can all be collected in Chapter 11 before leaving the Ishimura if you choose. The Chapter/Objective is simply listed to make it easier to locate them as you play.
Slumpyy says
Will i have enough nodes at the end of this play through to upgrade all weapons??
Archavia says
As long as you either collect a fair few in this playthrough, or use your credits to buy the remaining ones, you should. It’s still wise to try and collect all the nodes throughout the game, but after finishing NG+ I had well over 100k credits to spare from collecting everything, with plenty of stuff still to sell, so there’s leniency if you miss collecting some nodes in NG+. Worse case scenario, you can go into NG++ for the final upgrades if need be.

I found all the marker frags in my new game plus thanks to you, but something stange is happening
I’m in my new game++ and I can’t find the fragments again on those locations. Are they in captain’s room where we left them? If they are can we remove them to see the normal ending?
Rogen says
Help! I followed all the guide but when I tried to put in the captain’s room there’s one missing. So I went back to all the locations, all markers gone (collected). Captain’s room again, still one missing.
Bryce says
I’m having same problem,you ever get a fix?
Mac says
I was confused at the beginning when you said 5/10 and 9/12. I finally figured out you meant 5 & 10 and 9 & 12.
