    instant kill big daddies

    Im currently playing the game again to save all the little sisters for the different ending, and i ran into a big daddy in the farmers market. So i proceded to set 4 proximity mines right next to each other, i incinerated the rosie to lure him towards them. BOOM! All at once they exploded and the rosie fell, dead already. It was too easy, I always use mines vs big daddies, however, never put them all in same spot. Nice easy way for some A.D.A.M. and this way helps alot if your low on ammo, but have a couple mines.

    Dude, this is old and moreover wrong.

    The right way to do it is place 6 proxy mines on a barrel of flammables, then throw barrel on nearest BD. This will take down a non-elite BD even on hard difficulty. To save mines, you may optionally gather about 8-10 barrels and then place one mine on it. The worst part is to get a BD there to set of the mine. Don't be afraid to stand nearby, even if this huge explosion will kill a BD, you will be left alive with one health left.

    There are also more options of insta-kill BD. For Bouncers, set a line of about 6-8 trap bolts and then mare a BD charge you throught them. The only thing left is a pile of metal at your feet.

    Electric Gel is like kryptonite for BDs. And if you fully upgrade the Chem Thrower at the PTTP stations you can get the job done using very little ammo.

    I need to remember these as I play through my second time. I guess I haven't been very creative as I have stuck to mines and frag grenades....

    There's a method I used on my first play through.

    Electric Wall: Must be in a tight corridor for this work.

    Shoot three trap bolts onto the ground, one next to another. Right infront of those three set three more. You've created an electric wall. Now, set three proximity mines infront of the trap bolts. Shoot the big daddy and watch him run to his death.

    I used the trapbolts myself because those BD's like to charge. I barely ever used the proximity mines, or the chemical thrower the entire game but they sound like interesting tactics, much like attaching the mines to a flammable then launching it. That's the great thing about this game... so many options!

    I use enrage first while in the vicinity of a big daddy and other enemies,then drench him with liquid notrogen.He can freeze,and with 3-4 well placed shotgun blasts,he can also shatter

    When you tag a Elite Roise with Security Bullseye, and make them move in front of the camera, they will raise an alarm. Even though the Elite Rosie will destroy a security bot with one shot, one alarm (and approx 25 bots) will reduce Rosie by some 2/3 of its health.

    I use the crossbow arrow to kill the BDs. With a fully upgraded crossbow arrow, you only need like 3 hits and he's dead. That's just me though. OH, Electric Gel seems to do the trick too.

    I use whatever I have, really. If I can find an exploding barrel, I plant proximity mines on it and throw it, but I also use electric buck, armor piercing rounds, the proximity mines Rosies throw, Incinerate, and Electric Gel. I also took out a Elite Bouncer switching between Electroshock and Fire bolts for my damage upgraded crossbow.

    Next time around, I'm considering just shooting trap bolts at Rosies, seeing if they'll still work.

    When i am fighing 3 splicers i am using Insect Swarm and then a stupid Big Daddy is coming ! The bees is attacking him so he get pissed and are attacking me... So i just use 4 proxy mines on a dead body and then telekinesis in his face or 4 trap bolts and then make him rush into me.

    Put 10 mines on a corpse and then whip at a Big Daddy. It actually works. Even if the big Daddy is in the radius of the explosion.
