Bioshock 2 Hints
Spare Big Daddy Research Tips
1 of 6: You could just film them without attacking for a few points, but it's *way* better to fight them and get more points.
2 of 6: Use armor-piercing rounds, heavy rivets, shotgun blasts, drill dashes, etc. to inflict damage and gain bonus research points.
3 of 6: Don't forget that you have some hacked turrets (including rocket turrets) that you can lead big daddies to.
4 of 6: After they're dead, buy more ammo and first aid kits with the money you get from them. Also, look around for dead bodies, lockboxes, and other sources of money that you didn't need before.
5 of 6: When your elite bots are both destroyed, you can get some regular bots to replace them if you left a vending machine unhacked somewhere.
6 of 6: Big daddies will keep reappearing after you kill the current ones, so you could fairly easily max out your big daddy research here. When you meet the rumbler big daddies in the next region, you'll be very glad you did!
