Survivor + Hard Difficulty tips and tricks !
By astarseran
At the beggining you probably said: ,, That is going to be impossible.'' .. Yeah, It seems really hard but it's not.

You should: Finish it at least once to know the basics and time.

Few tips and tricks

• At those difficulties it's important to have ammo on bosses and big daddies. Use your wrench on splicers everytime you can

• Try to use environment, It's really helpful. Use explosive barrels and stuff to fight big daddies. 5 or 6 explosive barrels are enough to kill big daddy.

• Always rescue little sisters, after saving 3 little sisters you will receive 'hypnotize' plasmid which you can use against big daddies. Let them fight each other and at the end finish last big daddy.

• Never follow arrow. Always search for loot and then continue in mission. It's really important to have all tonics and items from the map.

• Try to hack everything. You will get some sales or free items. It's really helpful at the beggining.

• Take a photo of EVERYTHING. It will give you some tonics and will teach you how to fight your enemies + it will give you dealing some extra damage.

• Your first upgraded gun will be shotgun. It's really powerful gun which can help you in many situations. Especialy at the beggining.

Important plasmids and tonics

• Must have plasmids: Electrobolt ( to stun and finish enemies ) , Telekinesis ( to throw explosives and get loot from high obsticles ) , Incinerate ( you are going to need this plasmid at Medical Pavilon) , Hypnotize ( really helpful to fight other big daddies )

• Must have tonics:

Combat - Armored Shell ( take less damage from enemies ) , Static Discharge ( when there's too many splicers on you ) , Wrench Jockey ( stack it, wrench attack damage ) , Wrench Lurker

Physical - Bloodlust ( healing from wrench attacks ) , EVE Saver ( using less EVE ) , Medical Expert ( more hp from first aid ) , Natural Camouflage ( to hide from enemies when you are low ) , Sportboost ( Stack it! Very important! It gives you wrench attack speed )

That's the basics. Good luck!

Pretty good tonic and plasmid selection, the only things I've done differently in my playthrough have been no Hypnotize, no melee skills except Sportboost(s), no Armored Shell and Medical Expert replaced with EVE Link (Health is cheap at healing machines which are plentiful, EVE is expensive and hard to come by). Also upgraded Chemical Thrower first and Shotgun second

Guide is okay overall but puts far too much emphasis on health and ammo management and not enough on EVE management which is the rarest and most precious resource

static discharge can also trigger flammable barrels around you, so some splicers can unintentionally blow you up with themselves. not good, not stable enough to use

Good guide, the only thing I disagree with is the electric tonic, because that can disable friendly bots around you and anger neutral Big Daddies.
