Bioshock 2 Hints
Gather #2 Tips
1 of 6: Make sure you're full up on first aid kits and anti-personnel rounds before you start the gather.
2 of 6: After you start it, scrunch yourself into the corner that's to the left of the nearby wall vent. That'll give you some protection from splicer fire, and you'll have a good view of your little sister.
3 of 6: Another thing you could do is run down the east-side street as soon as the gather begins so you can go up the stairs to the upper walkways. (Use drill dashes to move faster.) Run over to the south walkway section, from which you can look down at your little sister.
4 of 6: You're considerably less exposed up there, especially when you scrunch into the eastern corner, but it'll be a lot harder to shoot at splicers who are pestering your little sister. You'll have to run up to the railing and shoot down at them while jumping up and down.
5 of 6: In either strategy, you can deploy the mini-turret(s) you got from the rumbler to help out.
6 of 6: It's important to note that one of the last splicers to appear will be a spider splicer. You'll want to use the research camera on him, then hit him with a variety of plasmids and weapons. He's pretty wimpy, so it's hard to keep from killing him too quickly. However, it is possible to get the first spider splicer research reward from him. (Note that this will be easier if you got some research points off of Father Wales earlier.)
