Big Daddy Combat Tips
1 of 5: Remember that you can buy prox mines from the ammo vending machine that's just inside Prof. Langford's place.
2 of 5: If you can get out there before the big daddy goes over to wake up the little sister, you can set a prox mine or two next to the wake-up point. (It's a bit to the left of Langford's outer door.)
3 of 5: When the big daddy goes over there and trips those proxes, be ready to start bombarding it with frag grenades.
4 of 5: If that doesn't work out for you, you'll need plenty of frag grenades to blast it with wherever you decide to attack it.
5 of 5: Also, if you got Electro Bolt 2 from the nearby gardens machine, you can zap the big daddy with that and deliver up-close shotgun blasts.
