BioShock 2

BioShock 2 is set about 10 years after the original BioShock. Along the Atlantic coast, a monster has been abducting little girls and taking them to the undersea city of Rapture. You play as a Big Daddy, exploring the decaying city, pursuing an unseen foe and searching for answers while trying to survive.

Story and combat

The story continues through new storytelling devices as you face powerful enemies. You can wield weapons and Plasmids at the same time, combining them in combat. As the Big Daddy, you take control of one of Rapture’s most feared inhabitants and experience its strength firsthand.

The Protector Trials

In The Protector Trials, Tenenbaum asks you to steal as much ADAM as possible to help stop Sofia Lamb’s plan. Each challenge has you escort a Little Sister to an ADAM-rich corpse and protect her while she gathers ADAM; the opposition grows as she nears her goal. Each Trial offers three weapon and Plasmid load-outs, plus a fourth bonus load-out unlocked by completing the others.

Multiplayer

The multiplayer story takes place during Rapture’s fall, casting you as a Plasmid test subject for Sinclair Solutions, a provider of Plasmids and Tonics. You play as a Rapture citizen taking part in the city’s civil war, fighting in locations including Kashmir Restaurant and Mercury Suites, reworked for multiplayer.

You earn experience during matches to unlock weapons, Plasmids and Tonics, which can be combined in hundreds of ways to shape your character. Multiplayer additions include the Sinclair Solutions Tester Pack, Rapture Metro Map Pack, the Kill ‘em Kindly melee mode, and the Zigo and Blanche characters.

Additional content

The Sinclair Solutions Tester Pack raises the multiplayer rank cap to 50, adds rank rewards including a third set of weapon upgrades, and includes 20 Trials, two playable characters and five masks. Rapture Metro adds six maps and the Rebirth option for fully ranked players. Kill ‘em Kindly turns blunt objects into golf clubs for melee combat.
