Bioshock 2 Hints
Big Sister Combat Tips
1 of 5: It's best to use the wall vent that's in the live test facility's entry area.
2 of 5: After you do, go downstairs and wait for the big sister to show up.
3 of 5: Use the research camera on her, then maneuver her so that she's within sight of your hacked rocket turret. If there's a rumbler around, he may join in, too.
4 of 5: If your rocket turret's been destroyed (or even if it hasn't), it's best to wait until a rumbler with a little sister is nearby before using the wall vent. Maneuver the big sister into accidentally damaging the rumbler, then get out of the way as they fight each other. With any luck, the rumbler will be killed, allowing you to pick up his little sister for "free" after you finish off the big sister.
5 of 5: Hopefully, you'll be able to max out your big sister research with this one. That means you'll get the Drill Vampire tonic, and it probably also means you can splice other tonics in place of research camera tonics like Keen Observer and Extended Reel. (The theory being that by this time, you've already maxed out your research on everything else.)
