BioShock Cheat: Free Health Packs
While you can buy health packs at health stations for $10, you can get them for
free by simply smashing the machines with your wrench. After a few hits, between
1-3 health packs should lie on the floor for you to grab, for free.

Always make backups of game files before messing with them!

BioShock Unlockable: Good Ending / Bad Ending
There are two possible endings for BioShock that depend on how you treated littl
e sisters throughout the game. If you choose to "harvest" more than one little s
ister, you will get the bad BioShock ending. If, however, you "harvest" no more
than one little sister but "rescue" the others, you will get the good BioShock e
nding.
BioShock Hint: Big Daddy Battle
In order to do this, you need the Hypnotize Big Daddy Plasmid and the Natural Ca
mouflage Tonic. All you have to do is use the Hypnotize Big Daddy Plasmid on a B
ig Daddy so that he thinks you're a Little Sister and protects you. Now here's t
he fun part - simply find and attack another Big Daddy and your Big Daddy will a
ttack it to protect you.
BioShock Hint: Big Daddy Kills
When fighting a Big Daddy, use armor-piercing rounds, as they will deal consider
able damage compared to regular rounds.
BioShock Hint: Sander Cohen's Death
Sander Cohen will ask you to take four pictures for him to complete his masterpi
ece. After you do that, you can kill him at your convenience.
BioShock Hint: Security Drone Manipulation
Use a blast of the Electric Shock Plasmid to temporarily disable security drones
before you do anything else in a room. Then, run up to them within five seconds
and hack them! You can hack while the game is on virtual "pause." You'll have s
ecurity drones on your side for the rest of the time you are in a fight after do
ing this.
BioShock Hint: Big Daddy Kills II
Once you get the Grenade Launcher and the Proximity Mines, this technique can be
employed. Find a red fuel tank (all over the place), and cover it with about 6
Proximity Mines or so. Next, use Telekinesis to lift the massive explosive devic
e and hurl it at a Big Daddy. This deals massive damage, leaving you with minima
l effort to finish the job. Just be careful not to have the bomb blow up before
you get there. (The launcher upgrade that deals no damage to you is a great thin
g to have just in case.)
BioShock Hint: Telekinesis Drop
While using the Telekinesis Plasmid, you can drop the item you are holding inste
ad of throwing it across the room. To do this you must have an item currently be
ing held. Pick up any item, with the Telekinesis Plasmid selected. Using the LT
button, keep holding the item, and don t let go of the LT button.
When you re ready to drop the item, press the RB button to open your weapons menu,
and in the transition of the weapons menu opening, let go of the LT button. Cho
ose your weapon and the item will drop safely to your feet. If done correctly, t
he item falls at your feet, instead of being thrown, which makes the item easier
to find when you need it.
Added by SyrionSyronimus: A simpler way to drop the item you're holding is to ju
st hit 'X'. So, with the Telekinesis Plasmid armed, hold LT to TK something to y
ou. While it's 'in your face', press X to drop it on the ground. No need to swit
ch to weapons.
BioShock Hint: Quick Reloads
The following works with both the Crossbow and the Grenade Launcher. While shoot
ing either, you can rapidly reload by pressing the left trigger, then quickly af
ter pressing the right trigger. This will allow you to start shooting without ha
ving to wait longer (several seconds) for your weapon to reload. This is especia
lly useful against powerful enemies like Big Daddies.
BioShock Hint: Big Daddy Kills III
Here's another technique to take out Big Daddies. Use the Electric Buck on your
Shotgun, alternating between the buck and using the Electro Bolt Plasmid every f
ew seconds (which will shock and freeze him in addition to dealing damage). This
technique is especially useful on Bouncer class Big Daddies.
BioShock Hint: Big Daddy Kills IV
Once you've obtained the Dart Gun, you can try this technique. All that's requir
ed is Electrical Trap Darts (4-6 per Big Daddy). Take your 4-6 Trap Darts and li
ne them down a hall or near where you can see a Big Daddy, making sure the path
he'll take towards you is amply covered. Once that's done, shoot at the Big Dadd
y to get his attention and keep him running towards you. He'll run into each dar
t and kill himself.
BioShock Hint: Big Daddy Kills V
If you have Trap Bolts for your Crossbow, you can execute this technique to kill
Big Daddies easily. Give yourself about 20 feet (in-game, of course) and shoot
your Trap Bolts so they hang between you and the location of the Big Daddy you w
ant to kill. Then shoot a round with another weapon at the Big Daddy to anger it
so it comes towards you. It will stumble across the Trap Bolts you've shot and
die, since it only takes two of them to take one down.
BioShock Hint: Big Daddy Kills VI
Here's another easy method to kill Big Daddies easily. Try using Electric Gel in
the Chemical Thrower. It takes about 3/4 of a tank, but the Big Daddy won't be
able to move as you shoot and kill him.
BioShock Hint: Easy Splicer Kills
For easy Splicer kills, simply use Telekinesis on one to hurl its body at others
in the vicinity. This method usually results in a one-hit kill and is especiall
y useful against higher-level Splicers.
BioShock Hint: General Tips
 * The first Plasmid, and the first weapon you find are the best in the game.
* Zap em and whack em, that's all you need to know.
* Research everything, it's well worth it. The Houdini Splicers are well wor
th your time since you'll get the most useful Tonic in the game.
* Get over being scared, the enemies aren't that bad.
* Explore every room in every area and you'll get more out of the game.
