Warnings & Ratings
Does anyone know if there is an easier way to get the 'Jackpot' achievement in Bioshock. Is there some trick to it, or is it pure chance? I have done everything, spent so much money, and tried so. Hi guys, I am currently trying to platinum Bioshock 1 on the ps3. One of the trophies is to max out all plasmid and tonic slots. I have maxed out all of the plasmids but am having an issue with the tonic slots. Main article: BioShock 2 Plasmid Slots return to the sequel as a purchasable upgrade. Although the price has been decreased to 40 ADAM, the price increases by 10 ADAM with each successive purchase; however, the last two Plasmid Slot upgrades cost 70 and do not increase in cost. Physical, engineering and combat tonic slots. They're located at the very top underneath where you buy plasmid slots. You can also only buy a maximum of twelve tonic slots throughout the game. If you don't see any available for purchase, it means you probably haven't gotten far enough in the game to unlock more slots, hope I helped.
Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Precautions to take during use
- Sit a good distance away from the monitor.
- Avoid playing if you are tired or have not had much sleep.
- Make sure that the room in which you are playing is well lit.
- Rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes per hour while playing a video game.

Before you fight the second Big Sister (if you are harvesting ADAM but saving the girls), you will get an Enrage Plasmid. There are two bodies to scrounge ADAM from. One is more easily securable, which has a security camera, a rocket launcher bot, and a large puddle of water in this area. The Big Daddy comes back multiple times. If you drop off the little girl in her hole near here, you can wait for the Big Sister to show up. Then, enrage the Big Daddy so that he will take on and kill the Big Sister. Your only concern will be Splicers and the Big Daddy after he is done with the Big Sister.
When facing a Rumbler (Big Daddy with rockets) use Telekinesis to grab the rockets it fires then turn them back towards it.
Get your first Little Sister in Ryan Amusements. She will take you back into the main hall of Ryan Amusements to collect ADAM. While she is collecting ADAM, Splicers will attack and break down the door to the next section. Go through door to find a desk on the left with an animatronic Andrew Ryan behind it. Near a cabinet that is behind him is a golf club. Use Telekinesis to pick up the club, then shoot it at the Andrew Ryan animatronic.
Hack a vending machine and stop the needle in the blue section to get free ammo or a free Eve. When the same thing is done at a health station you can get a first-aid kit.
Locate a hackable vending or health machine next to or near a Bot Shutdown Panel. Hack the machine and stop the pointer on the red to activate the Security Bots to come for you. Quickly turn and snap the camera on one then shut them down at the panel. The disabled bot is still highlighted by the research camera and you can research Security easily.

Use the following trick to use Telekinesis to pull normal items toward you without using any of your Eve reserve. Eve is only used when you release the trigger and throw an item with Telekinesis. Use Telekinesis to pull items such as ammunition or first aid kits toward you to collect without wasting any of your meter. Note that if you take an item that you are already maxed out of, you will be stuck holding it with Telekinesis or release the trigger to throw it and waste your meter. However, if you display the Plasmid wheel and select another Plasmid attack, you can release the trigger to drop the item without Telekinesis automatically throwing it. By doing this you will not waste any of your meter dropping an item that you cannot carry. This also can be done when pulling electrified trip wires out of walls. To do this, pull the item toward you with Telekinesis and without releasing the trigger, display the Plasmid wheel to select another plasmid. When you close the Plasmid wheel and release the trigger you will drop the item.
Hack Security Bots when they appear after an alarm is triggered. They will remain in the area and fight for you. Note: Try stunning them with an electric attack first. There is an easy way to collect Security Bots to fight with you. First, locate a Bot Shutdown Panel that is quickly accessible near a vending machine. Hack the vending machine, but stop the pointer on the red to activate the Security Bots to come for you. Quickly run to the Bot Shutdown Panel and throw the switch. Then, locate a deactivated Security Bot and hack it. That Bot is now aiding you. Note: You can only have two Security Bots aiding you at one time.
