1, - Leveling Up

 

The player earns ADAM by playing online matches and completing trials. As they collect ADAM, they level up. With each level advancement they will unlock new weapons, plasmids, and gene tonics to customize their loadout.There are forty levels of character advancement and four "clubs" (overarching ranks), with ten levels of advancement per club.At the start of the multiplayer experience, the player only has access to the Pistol and the Shotgun, as well as the Electro Bolt, Incinerate!, and Winter Blast plasmids, with no gene tonics. However, after advancing through the game they will receive the Machine Gun, followed by other new tools. Along with combat-oriented gifts, players are able to change their character's cosmetic traits. For example, one may endow their character with a mask or change their melee weapon (this does not affect its combat traits, however).

 

ADAM needed to rank up to key levels:

 

-Rank 10: 9000 ADAM.

-Rank 20: 25500 ADAM.

-Rank 30: 53000 ADAM.

-Rank 40: 97000 ADAM.

 

2, - ADAM Rewards

 

When a player contributes in some way to their team or to themselves they receive an ADAM reward, the size of which depends on the action.

 

Here is the list of known ADAM rewards:

 

-Kill Reward: 10 ADAM. Granted upon killing an enemy.

 

-Assist Reward: 5 ADAM. Granted upon dealing damage to an enemy without having dealt the killing

blow.

 

-Big Daddy Takedown Reward: 100 ADAM. Granted upon killing the Big Daddy.

 

-Hack Reward: 10 ADAM. Granted upon successfully hacking a machine.

 

-Research Photo Reward: 10 ADAM. Granted upon successfully researching an enemy corpse.

 

-ADAM Vial Reward: 10 ADAM. Granted upon collecting one of the ADAM vials scattered across the level.

 

-Killing Streaks Reward: 50 ADAM. Granted upon killing three enemies in a row without dying.

 

-Big Daddy Suit Reward: 50 ADAM. Granted upon picking up a Big Daddy Suit in the level.

 

-Trial Complete Reward: Varies depending on the trial and its level (see below). Granted upon completing a trial.

 

Trials are challenges the player can complete, usually requiring them to perform a particular action several times. Trials have two levels: Trial and Trial Advanced. Beginner trials are easier to complete, and yield a large ADAM reward. Advanced trials are harder to achieve, and are usually unlocked after completing the Trial version, but yield twice the ADAM reward. Players will be notified when they are nearing completion of a trial on a regular basis.

3, - Multiplayer Maps

 

There are ten different maps representing various areas from the first game BioShock. These locations have been re-tooled to fit a multiplayer environment, giving you a feel of what happened before Jack came under the sea in one.

 

Maps:

 

-Arcadia

-Farmer's Market

-Fontaine's Home for the Poor

-Fort Frolic

-Hephaestus

-Kashmir Restaurant

-Medical Pavilion

-Mercury Suites

-Neptune's Bounty

-Point Prometheus

 

"I say keep a eye on what maps you have played and make a check list so you know out of the 10 you have played so you can work for that trophy. "Man About Town" Its will help it is easy to say you will get it just by playing but if you know what you got you can try to veto the map to something else."

 

4, - Game Modes

 

There are seven different game modes included in BioShock 2. Each supports up to ten players. Team-based game modes divide the players into two factions: those fighting for Andrew Ryan and those battling under Atlas. Scores are marked in the top right corner of the HUD, with the one at the top representing the winning score.

 

Game modes:

 

- Survival of the Fittest

Survival of the Fittest is the basic free-for-all deathmatch mode: each player is tasked with killing all other players as often as possible. The player with the most kills by the end of the match wins the game.

 

- Civil War

Civil War is the game's team deathmatch mode: players are split into two teams, and each team is tasked with killing as many players of the other team as possible. The team with the most kills by the end of the match wins.

 

- Last Splicer Standing

Last Splicer Standing is the game's "arena" mode. Like Survival of the Fittest, it is free-for-all and requires each player to kill the other players. However, players in this game mode do not respawn upon death. This means the winner is, effectively, the last Splicer standing. This is the only game mode where it is impossible to be in a Big Daddy Suit in the level.

 

- Turf War

Turf War is the game's "King of the Hill" mode: players are split into two teams, and are tasked with capturing and holding the control points present in the level. A player in proximity of a neutral or enemy control point will gradually charge up a meter, which will earn their team the control point if it fills up completely. The team who managed to maintain control over the most points for the longest amount of time by the end of the match wins.

 

- Capture the Sister

Capture the Sister is BioShock 2's take on Capture the Flag: players are split into two teams, with one of the players on one team chosen at random to become a Big Daddy. One of the two teams is in possession of a Little Sister, which they must protect, while the other team's base holds a Little Sister Vent. The objective of the game is to either capture the Little Sister and bring her to the Vent as many times as possible, or prevent the enemy from doing so. Teams' roles are switched mid-round, so that the attacking team has to defend and vice-versa. The team with the most captures by the end of the round wins.

 

" I find this game type to be the best to level up in and easy to earn a few trophies as well, But this is just me others say different."

 

- ADAM Grab

ADAM Grab is a unique game mode: there is one Little Sister in the level, and each player is tasked with capturing and keeping her for as long as possible, earning ADAM continuously in the process. The player who managed to keep the Little Sister for the longest amount of time wins.

 

- Team ADAM Grab

Team ADAM Grab is the team-based variant to ADAM Grab: players are split into teams, and have to capture and keep the Little Sister in the level for as long as possible. Every member of the team currently in possession of the Little Sister will receive an ADAM income. The team who managed to keep the Little Sister for the longest amount of time wins.

 

"If you ever have played Halo 3 this game type is oddball hold it and win."

5, - Plasmids

 

Plasmids have returned and some can be used in a defensive fashion as well. To give an example, Geyser Trap can be deployed in a large room and used to leap onto higher platforms to escape or set up camping spots or you can add Electro Bolt to it and making it a little shocking. The player unlocks additional Plasmids upon gaining higher ranks. Up to two plasmids can be equipped per loadout, and the player has access to a selection of eight different plasmids, three of them multiplayer-exclusive.

 

Plasmids:

 

-Electro Bolt: Unlocked from the start

 

In the multiplayer, Electro Bolt will function in a way similar to the singleplayer game mode. It will temporarily stun the target, preventing them from moving or using weapons (the victim can still use plasmids while stunned, though). Hitting an electrified enemy with a melee weapon will kill them in a single shot. While Electro Bolt only deals a very small amount of damage to enemies on dry land, it will deal a severe amount of damage to targets in water, and can temporarily electrify pools of the liquid. Electro Bolt can be charged for greater damage and an increased stun duration. Along with Incinerate! and Winter Blast, this plasmid is available to the player from the start.

 

-Incinerate!: Unlocked from the start

 

In the multiplayer, Incinerate! will function similarly to its singleplayer counterpart, with a few notable differences. First of all, while enemies hit by the plasmid will still take continuous damage, their speed and attack rate will be greatly increased. Incinerate! can also be used to unfreeze teammates and friendly machines under the effects of Winter Blast as well as melt ice. If on fire, running into enemies ignite them as well, along with any flammable object the player runs into. Incinerate! can be charged for greater damage and area of effect. It is unlocked right from the start of the game.

 

-Winter Blast: Unlocked from the start

 

In the multiplayer, Winter Blast works slightly different from its singleplayer version. Enemies under the effects of this plasmid will have their speed and attack rate severely reduced instead of stopped outright. However, they will be much easier to kill, and a melee hit or an Aero Dash will shatter a frozen enemy in one shot. Shattered enemies cannot be researched. However, Winter Blast will still be able to completely disable enemy Turrets for a moment. Casting Winter Blast on a teammate or friendly machine will extinguish their flames if they had been ignited using Incinerate!. This plasmid can also be used to douse fires, and can be charged for an increased slowdown time. Along with Electro Bolt and Incinerate!, this plasmid is unlocked at the start of the game.

 

-Aero Dash (multiplayer only): Unlocked at Rank 4

 

Aero Dash is a BioShock 2 Multiplayer-exclusive plasmid which gives the user a temporary speed boost upon activation. Players using Aero Dash are represented with their left elbow pointed outwards, and cannot attack or change direction mid-dash. When using this plasmid, running into an enemy player will throw them to the ground, dealing them damage as well as stunning them. Running into a frozen enemy will shatter them. If the enemy is between the player and a wall, they will be pinned to it. This plasmid is unlocked at Rank 4.

 

-Geyser Trap (multiplayer only): Unlocked at Rank 8 "This is online only as it is a prototype of Cyclone Trap so by the time in the story its 10 years from one Cyclone Trap is used not Geyser both work the same."

 

A prototype of the original Cyclone Trap, Geyser Trap allows traps to be placed, which when touched, will shoot out a burst of water, throwing enemies into the air. The caster can also use this feature to perform powerful jumps. This plasmid is unlocked at Rank 8.

 

-Telekinesis: Unlocked at Rank 12

 

Telekinesis is unlocked at Rank 12, and works like the plasmid in the story. Objects can be picked up and drawn in from up to long distances. Not much to say about this one.

 

-Houdini Plasmid (multiplayer only): Unlocked at Rank 16

 

The Houdini Plasmid is a BioShock 2 Multiplayer-exclusive plasmid which will allow the user to turn invisible. When using this plasmid, disappearing and reappearing creates the same "cloud" effect as Houdini Splicers. When invisible, the user cannot attack or perform any sort of action, but can still take damage. The plasmid continuously drains EVE while it is activated. This plasmid is unlocked at Rank 16.

 

-Insect Swarm: Unlocked at Rank 20

 

Insect Swarm will be the last plasmid received by the player, and is unlocked at Rank 20. In addition to dealing minor damage to the target over time, using this plasmid on an enemy will blur their vision for the duration of the plasmid, severely disrupting their aim.

6, - Weapons

 

A total of seven different weapons are available to the player, though some are only unlocked when leveling up. Weapons have been altered from their versions in BioShock for the multiplayer environment, so that they have a faster rate of fire, do less damage, etc. Melee in particular is different in that there will be a quick-melee button and not an actual weapon.Each character has his/her own unique melee weapon, although this is only a cosmetic change.Each weapon can be upgraded with a choice between two upgrades per weapon, although only one upgrade can be equipped per weapon. The Research Camera exists in the form of a research option: passing near an enemy corpse opens a prompt offering the player the option to research the dead enemy. Doing so renders the player temporarily vulnerable, but grants them a damage bonus against that enemy upon researching them.

 

Weapon List:

 

Pistol: Unlocked from the start.

-Automatic Firing Mode: unlocked at Rank 5. Allows the Pistol to fire on full-auto, but reduces its maximum fire rate.

-Damage Upgrade: unlocked at Rank 27. Increases the Pistol's damage output at the expense of fire rate.

 

Shotgun: Unlocked from the start.

-Higher Rate of Fire: unlocked at Rank 9. Increases the Shotgun's rate of fire at the expense of its range.

-Auto-Reload: unlocked at Rank 29. Reloads the Shotgun automatically after firing, but slows its fire rate.

 

Tommy Gun: Unlocked at Rank 2.

-33% Clip Increase: unlocked at Rank 13. Increases the Tommy Gun's clip from thrity to forty rounds before having to reload."Will have 40 rounds with this on."

-Recoil Decrease: unlocked at Rank 31. Decreases the Tommy Gun's recoil when firing, but slows its rate of fire.

 

Grenade Launcher: Unlocked at Rank 6.

-Heat-Seeking RPGs: unlocked at rank 17. Converts the Grenade Launcher's Frag Grenades into Heat-Seeking RPGs, which zero in on the target closest to the reticule. Also reduces explosion radius.

-Velocity Boost: unlocked at rank 33. Greatly increases the speed of the Grenade Launcher's Frag Grenades.

 

Crossbow: Unlocked at Rank 10.

-Damage Boost: unlocked at rank 21. Increases the Crossbow's damage output, but greatly slows its fire rate.

-Rate of Fire Boost: unlocked at rank 35. Increases the Crossbow's rate of fire, but makes it do far less damage.

 

Nail Gun: Unlocked at Rank 14.

-Extended Magazine: unlocked at rank 23. Increases the Nail Gun's clip size, allowing the user to fire more shots before having to reload.

-Damage Increase: unlocked at rank 37. Increases the Nail Gun's damage output, but decreases its accuracy.

 

Elephant Gun: Unlocked at Rank 18.

-Sniper Scope: unlocked at rank 25. Adds a scope to the Elephant Gun, providing increased accuracy at long ranges while severely restricting the user's view up close.

-Damage Increase: unlocked at rank 39. Increases the Elephant Gun's damage output, but lowers its rate of fire.

 

6-1, - Becoming a Big Daddy

 

The player can become a Rosie by finding a Big Daddy Suit, which spawns randomly in the level. Once the player becomes a Rosie they will have access to the Rivet Gun, six Proximity Mines, and a Big Daddy stomp which stuns nearby enemy players. However, the player will lose the ability to use plasmids as long as they remain in the suit, and will also lose all research bonuses they may have accrued previously. Friendly Rosies produce a blue light from their portholes while an enemy Rosie's shine red.

 

When turning into a Big Daddy, the player's health will be significantly increased, although their health will no longer regenerate. Killing the Rosie also yields a significantly bigger ADAM reward, which places said Rosie as a prime target. Once the Big Daddy is defeated, the suit will spawn again elsewhere in the level.

 

7, - Gene Tonics

 

The player's character will gain new tonics when leveling up. Up to three tonics can be equipped at a time, and the player can choose from a selection of seventeen different gene tonics, each granting the player a passive bonus.

 

Tonic List:

 

-Master Researcher: unlocked at Rank 3

It significantly reduces the time it takes to Research an enemy, more than halving the time.

 

-Security Evasion: unlocked at Rank 3

When equipped, it decreases the accuracy of enemy Turrets firing at the player.

 

-Speedy Recovery: unlocked at Rank 7.

It significantly increases regeneration rate of the player's Health.

 

-EVE Saver: unlocked at Rank 7.

When equipped, it decreases the amount of EVE used by plasmids.

8, - Some Q and A

 

Q. Can I get the Big Daddy suit in Capture the Sister game mode?

A. No you can not, But it can be gotten in other game modes keep reading the Qs and As for more Big Daddy Info and any Trophy based questions are better off asked here-

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/bioshock-2/36946-bioshock-2-trophy-guide-road-map.html

"Thanks yazter for all your hard work."

 

Q. Can we choose to remove big daddy suits from multiplayer matches?

A. The suit does not appear in 3 of the 7 total game modes, it's not present in ADAM Grab, Team ADAM Grab and Last Splicer Standing. For the other modes, you can't 'turn it off'. I'll talk about suit spawning shortly, it's not totally random...

 

Q. Is there Friendly fire for Online?

A. Nope.

 

Q. How do you recover health and EVE? Is it automatic over time? Do you need to stop by dispenseries?

A. Health regens automatically, after a few seconds without taking damage. There is a tonic that speeds up this regeneration slightly, called Speedy Recovery. EVE does not regen by default, forcing you to run to dispensers to refill. The tonic EVE Metabolism does grant slow EVE regen though, and the tonic EVE Saver gives you more total EVE.

 

Q. Can you change your character throughout multiplayer

A. You can switch your character between every match. Both who you play as, his appearance, and your loadouts.

 

Q. If I play online with a certain character for a month then decide to try out a new character to get a new look, will all my stats and unlocks be ported over to that character?

A. Your stats and your choice of character are not linked in any way. Well, except the Favorite Character stat Feel free to mix it up, see who you like best.

 

Q. I understand that the big daddy suit will spawn randomly. Does this mean it will have a limited number of places it can spawn on each map (like say 6 certain spots)? Or can it spawn anywhere on the maps and show up in essentially an infinate number of places?

A. Each map has 3=4 spots the suit can spawn in, so it's not totally random. Usually in open places. Also, the suit is on a 2 minutes timer, so 2 minutes into the match it'll spawn in one of 3-4 locations, and 2 minutes after a BD goes down another will spawn in one of 3-4 locations. You can 'game it' if your team is experienced. In Capture the Sister, BD is forced on the defending team, there is no suit pickup."So in short, These spots are pre-determined."

 

Q. Will certain characters, like Buck Raleigh, have larger amounts of space in which you can hit them, compared to a slimmer character like Blanche?

A. No, all hit boxes are shared between character models. This way you pick the one whose personality you like most, not who has a gameplay advantage.

 

Q. Attachments?

A. Each weapon has access to 2 different upgrades (players can only equip one at a time). These are meant to offer different functionality, not really 'better'. For example the pistol gets a Damage Increase upgrade, but it also reduces shooting speed, adds recoil, etc.

 

Q. Is there a kill cam?

A. You mean something that plays the last second of your killer from his point of view? Nothing that fancy. But when you die the camera switches to third person and orients towards your killer, before jumping into spectator mode following him - that way you still get a good idea of who killed you, how, and from where.

 

Q. Just a quick question though, is there a method in the matchmaking which will prevent high level players from joining very low level player's sessions? I can only assume that a high level player will clean the floor with his higher unlocked gear.

A. Nope yet this is one of the down falls to the online maybe at one point we will see a update or something on 2Ks part.

 

Q. What load outs do you use online?

A. I use the Elephant Gun W/Sniper Scope and the Pistol W/Damage Upgrade and for my plasmids I use Insect Swarm and Electro Bolt, Umm Gene Tonics at this time are Master Researcher,Speedy Recovery,Fast Feet thats my fav load out but your not getting my other two XP go get your own load outs lol.

 

Q. I am wondering if you can get to level 40 by playing private matches.

Me and a friend are very competitive and like to play each other without anyone there. It would be good if we were to level up at the same time.

A. No you can not you can only level up and get ADAM in public games.
