Talk:Bioshock

Redoing This Page.

Hi, just browsing through and noticed this page for Bioshock is very lacking in a lot of weapons and info about them. Since I got some spare time right now, my Circadian rhythm is in complete disarray and can't sleep - I'm gonna try and write this page. I think the original author might have probably been very early in the game, or only seen trailers, so since I've almost completed the game - I think some of the info about the weapons I have might be more accurate. I'll be watching this section, so please feel free to discuss or raise any issues you have, and I'll try and get back as soon as possible. TC, Tec-9 08:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm still on the process of re-writing this section - I did three weapons, and will hopefully do the rest soon. I didn't comment on each weapon's performance like on bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons because I'm not really sure if we're allowed to write that kind of walkthrough stuff on this wiki - so I tried just leaving it as commenting on the availability of the weapons and what each type of ammo is designed for ingame. If it is ok to comment on each weapon's ingame performance, anyone please feel free to add it in. Also if anyone wants to do the other weapons in a similar style - to keep the section consistent - please also feel free to do so, and discuss any issues, questions or comments here please. Thanks :) Tec-9 09:38, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Why is there so much info on the grenade launcher, which isn't a real weapon? Also, I'm pretty sure the crossbow is homemade.--Davinfelth 18:40, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Also- I can't find such a thing as a Morris crossbow.--Davinfelth 18:40, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Webley

I seem to remember that there's 2 pistol variants, the standard one and a bigger one that you find in the cradle at the start. Is that one the same model of Webley?

Is the Webley the player uses a Mk. VI, because it is bigger (way bigger) than the Webleys used by the Splicers. - Kilgore 17:43, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

But the player model in-game still looks just like a VI not a IV, but it uses .38 caliber rounds like the IV. You know that's not unusual in video games, I've seen a pistol that was obviously a single-stacked 1911 .45 use 9mm rounds from a 17 magazine! So lets say it's a Mk. VI chambered for .38 special.

Bioshock Pistol Add-On Question

I remember in some screenshots when Bioshock was first announced seeing a werid add-on for the Pistol. I WISH i could find the picture again but what I can remember is that it looked like a huge cylinder and it was screwed on to it.User:SeanWolf

http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/705/705251/bioshock-20060505102000676.jpg Is this the add-on you mean? I can only assume it's the original appearance of the damage upgrade, as it clearly still has the increased capacity upgrade. Also note the bizzare weapons the Bouncer Big Daddy used to use.

Is the Shotgun Really a Remington 870

I don't think the shotgun in Bioshock is a Remington 870, it looks like the bastard child of an Ithica 37, but that may be just be me. - Kilgore 19:49, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Actually, if anything it's really close to a Spencer 1882, but none of the guns in the game are very accurate renderings of real guns. - Nyles

Spencer 1882

It does look very simular indeed. - Kilgore 22:08, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Wrench

Should we really have the wrench on this page? Seems like theres no real point. --Jackbel 00:14, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
