Bioshock 2 Hints

Quarantine Area Tips

  • 1 of 8: Get out the hack tool as you move toward the "QUARANTINE AREA" sign, then turn right and dart-hack the rocket turret you can see in the distance.
  • 2 of 8: As you approach the rocket turret, look in the side area on the right for a first aid kit, a mail tube, a cabinet, some drawers, and a health station.
  • 3 of 8: There's also a "door release" button on the tiled pillar that you can press to open the two quarantine rooms.
  • 4 of 8: Let Natural Camouflage hide you before you do, since each room has an alpha series in it. If you stay hidden, your bots and the hacked rocket turret will blow away the alpha series for you. (Note that your bots may be destroyed, but you can always summon more.)
  • 5 of 8: Check the first (west) quarantine room for drawers, an auto-hack dart, and phosphorus buck. The other room has three frag grenades and a heat-seeking rocket.
  • 6 of 8: Past the side area, look for a corpse and a barred door that you can open to create another shortcut back to the area with the first vending machine.
  • 7 of 8: Enter the rocket turret's room to find the game's fourteenth and final "Power to the People" weapon upgrade machine. (I recommend you get the launcher's damage immunity upgrade if you haven't already.)
  • 8 of 8: Also in that room are a desk, a mail tube, an audio diary, a money clip, an EVE hypo, two searchable lockers, bandages and coffee in a doorless locker, a fridge, and a box of buck.
