Ghost Posse: Killing with a Vigor trap has a 50% chance to cause the enemy gun to become a ghostly ally for a few seconds.Winter Shield: Jumping to or from Sky-Line grants brief invulnerability.Blood to Salt: Enemies provide Salts upon death 40% of the time.Storm: Killing with Devil’s Kill, Shock Jockey, or Bucking Bronco causes effects to chain to nearby enemies.Ammo Cap: When shooting, empty clips have a 40% chance of auto-filling without reload.Rising Bloodlust: After each successful kill (up to five), weapon damage increases.I wouldn’t recommending using them all the time, however, as Sky-Lines aren’t common enough to make it worth sacrificing all of the other great Gear. If you’re having trouble with a section that uses Sky-Lines, consider switching over to these items temporarily. That makes any melee-related Gear items obsolete pretty quickly.Ī few Gear items also really help you dominate while using Sky-Lines. Once the enemies get heavier and use projectile weapons, you’ll want to fight from afar, especially on the higher difficulties. Combined with the Murder of Crows loop described above, most enemies will never stand a chance.Ī few notes: Melee is only important early on. But then if you kill one of the stunned enemies, all the survivors will get stunned again. And Overkill means that almost every enemy you kill will stun all nearby enemies for a short while.

Blood to Salt means you’ll (almost) never run out of Salt in the middle of a battle, which is invaluable. If you find an area with a really close checkpoint, it’s definitely worth it to take the time to get the Gear you actually want.īelow I’ve highlighted some of the most useful Gear items, but the two most important ones are Blood to Salt and Overkill. So if you get one you don’t want, reload the last checkpoint and try again. Gear pickups change each time you reload a checkpoint. “Gear” in BioShock Infinite are four different types of items that you can equip to gain special perks. On the harder difficulties, Return to Sender is vital for certain enemy encounters, especially motorized Patriots.

You can upgrade it to absorb ammunition, adding to your own. This Vigor creates and holds a shield that blocks incoming projectiles and then fire them back at your enemies.

This means if you gun down five enemies who are currently being attacked by the crows, you’ll get five free crow landmines.Īs you can imagine, this creates a very potent chain reaction where entire waves of enemies can get caught in the traps created by their fallen comrades while you use them as target practice. The damage is small, and the stun starts off short, however, when after you have fully upgraded Murder of Crows, any enemies killed by the crows will become Murder of Crows traps. Murder of Crows sends out a wave of crows to stun and damage enemies. Shock Jockey is a good alternative later on, but with the Overkill gear, it’s slightly redundant. Some enemies are immune to fire attacks, but for the most part, you can lob Devil’s Kiss into crowds for notable amounts of damage. Sometimes it’s best to take a turret out first by turning it against its own people, who will then eventually shoot it down for you.Īlso, dropping a Possession trap will affect multiple human enemies, but since you can only ever possess a single target at a time, all but one of them will immediately kill themselves.ĭevil’s Kiss is the first offensive Vigor you get, but it’s useful for pretty much the entire game.

Possessed humans will eventually kill themselves when the Vigor wears off, but turrets will return to their hostile state. Note that Possession doesn’t last forever. Converting them not only means you won’t be attacked but that you’ll also have a powerful ally to help in the ensuing gun battle. These gun emplacements can cut you down quite easily, especially when you’re trying to fend off a dozen other attacks. No matter what your playstyle or difficulty level, you’ll want to use Possession early and often to take control of enemy turrets. I’ve never actually killed Elizabeth and don’t know if you can, but if you happen to find yourself in the company of other NPCs and are constantly stunning them with Overkill or unintentionally dealing damage with your traps, they will definitely turn on you. Note that Vigors (like the Murder of Crows) can harm allies.

Then you can spam Vigors like crazy, and thanks to the Blood to Salt gear (see below), your Salts will automatically replenish. They require Salts to use, so I recommend upgrading your salt capacity to 10 before wasting any upgrades on your health or shields. Vigors are BioShock Infinite’s version of Plasmids.
