Bioshock Hints

Street Combat and Supply Tips

  • 1 of 12: The first splicer you meet is playing dead against the post that has the word "attention" on it and some speakers on top.
  • 2 of 12: The fastest way to finish him is to freeze him with the chemical thrower, then hit him in the head with a crossbow bolt.
  • 3 of 12: Or you could shoot him to get him up and running, then Electro-Bolt him when he steps into some water.
  • 4 of 12: Look in the corner a short way SW of that splicer to find a corpse, a pistol, and a frag grenade.
  • 5 of 12: A bit farther on is a splicer with a club who's immune to electricity, so don't try Electro Bolt with him.
  • 6 of 12: Either snipe him in the head with the crossbow before he sees you, or run up to him and use the freeze-and-shatter routine.
  • 7 of 12: Near the health station that's on one pillar are two trolley cars you can enter and loot, plus a crossbow setting on a crate.
  • 8 of 12: With that second trolley car, you'll have to enter it by jumping through one of its large, circular windows, and then you'll have to disable some trap bolts before you can raid it safely.
  • 9 of 12: Also, look under the second trolley car to find a searchable body and briefcase.
  • 10 of 12: Down at the other end of the street, where it says "Welcome to Mercury Suites," you'll find two machine gun splicers and a nitro splicer.
  • 11 of 12: Use Enrage to get them to fight among themselves, or lead them to water and Electro-Bolt them.
  • 12 of 12: There's a ledge with supplies on it behind the nearby Vita-Chamber. To reach it, jump onto either of the bag stacks next to the chamber, then jump from there to the ledge behind the chamber.
