The wrench can't be upgraded like other weapons can, but once you start delving into tonics, you'll be able to find a number of tonics that enhance your ability to swing the wrench. The wrench will be a handy weapon throughout the game. At its most basic, this is a simple melee weapon: you hit your enemies with it a bunch of times, and they'll eventually die. The wrench will be the first weapon you pick up in the game, and one of the most useful throughout the game. Not all upgrades are really worthwhile, though, so you don't need to find all of them unless you're looking to get all of the Xbox 360 achievements. There should be 12 stations in all, although they're usually somewhat obscured and can be difficult to find since they don't appear on your map.
Each station can upgrade one of your weapons one time, after which it'll shut down.
You do this at Power to the People stations scattered around the game world.
Lastly, each weapon (again excepting the wrench) can be upgraded in two ways. If you want a steady supply of it, though, you'll need to take your junk items to a U-Invent store and make some. Inventable ammo will be the toughest to find, although you will come across it in the game world. Rare ammo will be tougher to find, but will still be around, and can usually be bought at Ammo Banditos stores. Normal ammo will be commonplace, and can be bought at most Circus of Values stores. The game also gives you plenty of cash, so if you do run low on ammo, you'll usually be able to find plenty to make up for it.Įach weapon (except the wrench) has three kinds of ammo available for it: a normal ammo, a rare ammo, and an inventable ammo. Luckily, the game encourages you to use weapons by liberally supplying you with ammo if you're diligent in searching, you shouldn't have any problems finding huge amounts of ammo for your guns, assuming you don't insist on using a single weapon in every fight. Sure, you can get all fancy with plasmids if you like, but weapons are there to be used on your opponents. Weapons will be your primary source of dealing damage in the game if you're anything like us.
In addition to a full walkthrough, we're going to give you suggestions on how to bring down the game's enemies, instruct you on the game's fully modifiable weapons, and round things off with some basic hints. GameSpot's Game Guide to BioShock is going to have plenty of tips and tricks for you. You can set them on fire, force them to fight for you, freeze them before smashing their bodies, and perform any number of other actions. A large suite of weapons will be available, each of which can use different ammo and be fully upgraded, and you'll also be able to use a large number of plasmids, which are basically spells that can be cast on your opponents for various effects. In order to fight back against the inhabitants, you'll need to adapt their tools for use against them. Unfortunately for you, your unnamed character has crash-landed on Rapture's surface dock and has no choice but to descend into the city to survive. This also had the wonderful side-effect of causing most of the civilians in the city to go crazy, so that the failed utopia is now populated by barely-human freaks that want nothing more than to kill interlopers. The citizens were torn apart by crime, and took to rewriting their genetic makeup. Unfortunately, utopias are pretty boring places to stage FPS games, and as such, things went terribly wrong. Billed as a "spiritual successor" to System Shock 2, Irrational Games' 1999 choose-your-own-adventure shooter, BioShock takes place in the world of Rapture, an underwater city built by Andrew Ryan, an industrialist who was intent on creating a utopia at the bottom of the sea where artists and businessmen could pursue their goals without interference from governments.
