Bioshock 2 Hints
Security Research Tips
1 of 9: Instead of hacking or shooting out this camera, take the opportunity to max out your security device research right now.
2 of 9: First, use the research camera on the security camera, then hit it with two Electro Bolts. Switch to Telekinesis and throw a small item at it, like the nearby box of buck. That won't hurt it much, and it'll get you over 200 security device research points.
3 of 9: After that, let the camera see you and sound an alarm, then film and destroy the two security bots who fly in.
4 of 9: To make things easier, hit each bot with Electro Bolt to disable it before destroying it.
5 of 9: Keep filming and destroying bots until the alarm is over, then get a new alarm sounded and repeat the process.
6 of 9: Take a break between alarms whenever you need to go refill on first aid kits and EVE hypos. If you can't find enough lying around for free, buy some from hacked vending machines.
7 of 9: Keep that up until you get the Deadly Machines tonic, which is the final security device research reward.
8 of 9: If you find this too tedious, you can research a few bots before hacking the camera. When you find more security cameras later on, repeat the process.
9 of 9: TIP: Do hack this camera instead of destroying it, since an ADAM gather will happen near it later on.
