BioShock Basics
| General Strategies | Fighting Big Daddies |
Battling big daddies is one of the most important parts of BioShock play, but it's certainly not easy. Having a good strategy before you start the fight is key. Here are some general tips for taking on the big daddies.
| Electric Buck |
| Like all enemies in BioShock, big daddies are stunned when zapped with electricity. While stunned, big daddies obviously can't fire back at you, leaving them totally vulnerable to your attacks. Unfortunately, the effects of electricity do not last long, so you'll have to be quick to take advantage. For this reason, we suggest using electric buck in your shotgun to shoot the big daddies. The electric charge of the shots will stun the big daddy just long enough for you to reposition and land another shot. |
| Set Traps |
| Before you dare engage a big daddy, think first about your preparation. If there are security cameras and/or turrets nearby, you can set up traps into which you can lure the big daddy. Hack a nearby RPG turret, then get the big daddy's attention. Lure him into the path of the turret and then use electric buck (or Electro Shock) to hold the big daddy in place. This also works with security cameras you've hacked—hold the big daddy still for long enough, and the cameras will call in an army of security bots that'll make short work of the daddy. |
| Using Telekinesis |
| Big daddies tend to start their assault by tossing grenades and/or proximity mines at you. This holds true as well if you lure a big daddy around a corner—he'll stop firing when you're out of sight, but the moment he spots you again the big daddy will usually start his attack by throwing an explosive. Use this opportunity to make use of you Telekinesis plasmid. Grab the explosives mid-flight and fire them back at big daddy for massive damage. |
| Side Steppin' |
| There are different breeds of big daddy, and the different breeds carry different weapons. We've found that versus the big daddy's with relatively slow-moving attacks (like the rosies and their rail guns and grenades), side stepping works surprisingly well to avoid the big daddy's onslaught. |
