Bioshock 2 Hints
Ground Floor Supplies
1 of 13: There's a first aid kit on the floor next to the bot shutdown panel.
2 of 13: Look in the room directly south of the shutdown panel for a health station, a launcher, two heat-seeking rockets, and a dead alpha series.
3 of 13: There's also a pool of water that you can heal up in if you have the Fountain of Youth tonic spliced in, and a button to the left of the big window that you can press to hear a recording. (However, you can't enter the room beyond the window yet.)
4 of 13: There's a Gatherer's Garden machine on the other side of the wall that the shutdown panel is on.
5 of 13: Look near the garden machine for a storage crate, then go west to find trap rivets hiding behind a crate stack, followed by a corpse, a tommy gun, and a vending machine.
6 of 13: There's a remote hack dart and an EVE hypo on the large planter to the right of the vending machine.
7 of 13: Jump into the pool of water that's under the stairs and look around in it for a mini-turret, armor-piercing rounds, and solid slugs. (Note that this is another pool that you can heal in.)
8 of 13: Go back to where you entered the area to find an audio diary on a couch next to a corpse that's stuck to the wall with a spear. There are also some other spears stuck into the same wall, one of which is holding up a briefcase.
9 of 13: Over to the west is the entrance to the theater. You'll be going in there soon to find a signal relay. For now, just get the first aid kit and phosphorus buck that are next to the fizzly SMG turret, then hack it. Some leadhead splicers will soon appear, but you can just stay camouflaged until the turret and your bots get them.
10 of 13: Repair the turret if it got damaged, then go over to the east side of the ground floor to find rivets and heavy rivets next to an ammo vending machine. Hack it, then check the two restrooms to the north.
11 of 13: There's a health station in the "DAMES" restroom, plus armor-piercing rounds in the last stall. In the "GENTS" restroom, there's a play-dead houdini splicer, a tommy gun, another health station, and a first aid kit in a stall.
12 of 13: NOTE: Houdini and leadhead splicers will periodically spawn on the unreachable third floor and drop down to the second floor or ground floor. Watch for them whenever you reenter the central stairs area after exploring a side area. (Note that there'll usually be one splicer with a hacked security bot.)
13 of 13: Go through the "EMPLOYEES ONLY" door next to the ammo machine and move along the passage to find .50 caliber rounds on a table, plus a prox mine and drill fuel in the sinks that are next to another heal-worthy pool of water. (Note that a splicer will follow you in, but your bots should easily be able to handle him.)
