Description:

Cameras are not a real threat in BioShock. In fact, they can be of great use to you, as long you have the patience to hack them. In most cases it’s not a problem to destroy a camera, but you shouldn’t do so without thinking. Perhaps it’s better to have the security on your side?

1. Increased damage + (vulnerable to anti-armor ammo and electricity)

2. You find twice as much film in destroyed cameras

3. Increased damage ++

4. Decreased difficulty when hacking cameras

Description:

Security Bots come at you whenever you trigger a security alarm – in most cases that is caused by getting spotted by a security camera. The research of Security Bots can be dealt with quite fast, because there are more and more bots attacking you during each alarm. After reaching the 4th level of research you won’t have to beat the hacking mini-game when hacking a security bot – you success will be automatic.

2. Engineering tonic: [Security Expert 2]

3. Increased damage ++

4. Automatic success when hacking a security bot

Description:

There are 3 types of turrets in the game. The most common one is a machine gun turret. Rocket launchers and flamethrowers are much, much rarer. Basically: it’s best to hack turrets, not to destroy them. In order to do so, first stun a chosen turret using electro bolt (or any other electricity-based instrument). The best way of destroying rocket turrets is to grab their missiles with Telekinesis and throw them back.

Research bonuses:

1. Increased damage + (vulnerable to anti-armor ammo and electricity)

2. You find twice as much ammo in destroyed turrets.

3. Increased damage ++

4. Automatic success when hacking a turret
