Bioshock Hints

Jet Postal Tips

  • 1 of 12: Clear the front area of splicers, then check out the vending machine. It has useful stuff for sale like research camera film, electric buck, and prox mines.
  • 2 of 12: Get some loose film from the table along the north wall, then go through the door that leads to the back area.
  • 3 of 12: The first part of the back area is safe, so look around for items, including some film on one of the desks, a camera on top of the shelves to the right of the pneumo tubes, and some more film on the table near the camera.
  • 4 of 12: The spider splicer is in the back part of this area, as is a security camera that's too high up on the wall to hack.
  • 5 of 12: What you want to do is get a few photos of the spider splicer while she's fighting a security bot.
  • 6 of 12: Either bring a hacked bot with you, or get your Security Bullseye plasmid out and ready to use.
  • 7 of 12: Move slowly around the corner to where you can see the security camera and the spider splicer on the ceiling near it.
  • 8 of 12: If you didn't bring a hacked bot with you, quickly tag the splicer with Security Bullseye. Otherwise, tag her with your pistol so your bot will start attacking her.
  • 9 of 12: Quickly get out your camera and get some up-close photos of her while she's fighting a bot.
  • 10 of 12: Then get out your grenade launcher, back up a ways, and hit her with a frag grenade.
  • 11 of 12: If she's still alive after that, either use your shotgun on her or let a security bot finish her off. (The machine gun loaded with antipersonnel ammo will also work very well.)
  • 12 of 12: After she's dead, shoot out the security camera so you can search the shelves back there in peace. (Also, you sometimes get a bit of film from destroyed cameras.)
