Enemies & Research in Bioshock Bioshock guide, walkthrough

In favor:

On the minus side:

+ Object in motion (the enemy has noticed you and is in the process of battle)

- The subject is dead (you can photograph corpses)

+ Multiple objects in the frame (multiple opponents in the same photo)

- The object was photographed earlier (each subsequent photo of the same opponent gives us less points)

Description:

Thugs are the most basic opponents in the game. They fight in close combat, using all sorts of clubs, pipes, and other simple tools. From the very beginning of the game to the very end, the most effective way to eliminate them is Electro Bolt, backed up by a few blows of the Wrench.

Description:

Houdini Splicers are "wizards" attacking you with plasmids. They are not very demanding opponents, but can be annoying with their ability to teleport. Usually, when a Houdini disappears, he appears behind you after a while - so it's best to immediately turn away. Fighting them will become easier when you get a scientific bonus that allows you to predict where they will appear. A good way to deal with them is to freeze them.

Description:

Cameras don't pose much of a threat in Bioshock. Throughout the game, they work on the same principle: they call in guard bots. It's not a problem to sneak out of the camera's field of view and destroy it. However, usually the best solution is a hack that allows bots to attack your opponents.

Bots attack you whenever you trigger an alarm-most often by stepping into the camera's field of view.

After reaching level 4. you no longer have to finish the hacking mini-game when you hack them.
