Bioshock Hints
Main Lobby Supply Tips
1 of 10: I won't even try to list every single item that can be found in this big area, but I will mention some highlights below.
2 of 10: There are two wall-mounted health stations in the lobby. One is in an alcove a bit directly west of the first gun turret, and the other is in an alcove on the opposite side of the same wall.
3 of 10: You can pay health stations to heal you, you can hack them to get them to heal you cheaper and hurt enemies who try to use them, and you can destroy them to get first aid kits. Hacking them is always the best option if you can manage it.
4 of 10: In the northern-most rooms are two vending machines, one of which specializes in ammo. As usual, hack them to get better prices and a wider selection.
5 of 10: Don't miss the supplies in the small room that the second turret is in, plus some back near the door you entered the main lobby through.
6 of 10: In the SE corner of the main lobby area, there's a first aid kit a ways past some jammed doors. The only way to get the kit is to use the Telekinesis plasmid, which will become available a little later on.
7 of 10: There's a couple of armor-piercing pistol rounds in a large planter along the south side of the lobby, near the frozen-over "Twilight Fields Funeral Homes" door. (Tips for the Twilight Fields area will be given in later hints, when it's possible to unfreeze the door.)
8 of 10: Go down the stairs at the west end of the lobby and look around to find another vending machine and a supply door with a fizzly door control. You know how to handle that!
9 of 10: Hit the door control with an Electro Bolt, then search the supply room for various goods, including an automatic hack tool on the desk.
10 of 10: Also, look for some pistol rounds in the planter that's just outside the supply room, to the left of its door.
