Guns?

Hi all,

Long time dead space enjoyer here. I just started playing this game despite having it since release (life and everything else gets in the way). I am just getting past the first few enemies during the opening sequence. My question is, when do I get a gun? I’ve read some posts online and it seems like it’s really built around the Melee system (which I’m not enjoying), it’s also not very scary in the way dead space is. I was thinking it would be like dead space, with the weapons and upgrades for them.

Thanks
