Overview

BioShock is a horror-themed first-person shooter set in a steampunk underwater dystopia. The player is urged to turn everything into a weapon: biologically modifying their own body with Plasmids, hacking devices and systems, upgrading their weapons, crafting new ammo variants, and experimenting with different battle techniques are all possible. The game is described by the developers as a spiritual successor to their previous PC title System Shock 2. BioShock received high praise in critical reviews for its atmospheric audio and visual quality, absorbing and original plot and its unique gaming experience.

BioShock (2007) - Cheats & Tips
• BioShock has no official cheat codes; these are verified gameplay secrets and tips.
• Combine Electro Bolt with the Wrench: stun enemies with the shock and finish them off melee-style to save ammo.
• Use Research Cameras to photograph enemies: each research level unlocks damage bonuses and stronger anti-personnel ammo perks.
• Hack vending machines to lower prices; with a full hack, some items become free.
• Rescue instead of Harvesting Little Sisters: saving them all rewards you with bonus Adam at Fontaine Futures and unlocks the good ending.
• Vita-Chambers revive you for free after dying with no heavy penalty; use them in dangerous areas.
• Prioritize upgrades at weapon stations based on your playstyle: the Wrench and pistols are solid early investments.
• Listen to audio diaries: many reveal numeric codes for safes and locked doors.
