so i've noticed a few requests on the forums for bioshock 2 cheats, so i figured i'd post some that i found on the 2k forums here. some seem to work and others dont (mainly the drill tonics) but not sure why. i haven't tested them all, but if anyone knows the correct id's for the plasmids, tonics, etc i encourage you to post them. for any of these cheats you have to bind them to a key, as there is no in-game console. to do this...
find the "user.ini" file located at
//windows 7//
C:\Users\@USERNAME@\AppData\Roaming\Bioshock2\

//windows xp//
C:\Documents and Settings\@Username@\Application Data\Bioshock 2\

find the key bindings under the [default] heading and bind they key. should look something like this:

NumPad2=GiveItem ShockGame.PhysicalGeneticSlotUpgrade

the example given here opens up one of your gene tonic slots. soooooooo here we go

{general}
these are all over the place but i figured i'd toss them in anyway.

God - Invincibility
Fly - Allows you to fly around
Walk - Disables fly and ghost mode
Ghost - Allows you to move through solid objects
Suicide - Kills your character
Killpawns - Kills all enemy on the level
ToggleshowAIs - Toggles the presence of enemy On/Off
Givehealth - Refills your Health bar
Givebioammo - Refills your Eve bar
IGBigbucks - Gives you $500
HideHUD - Disables the on-screen HUD elements
ShowHUD - Enables the on-screen HUD elements
ToggleHUD - Toggles the on-screen HUD elements On/Off
Slomo - Slows everything down
Freezeframe - Freezes the game
Shot - Takes a screenshot in BMP format and places it in the same folder as BioShock.ini
Togglesoundeffects - Turns sound effects (but not music or ambient sounds) On/Off
SetFOV [degrees] - Sets your Field of View to the specified degrees, e.g. SetFOV 90
ResetFOV - Resets Field of View to default

Use all these ID's prefaced by "GiveItem" so...
GiveItem <count><item ID>

{Ammo}
Haven't tested any of these except drill fuel(which works). once again use Giveitem <count><ID>

ShockGame.Drill_Ammo
ShockGame.MachineGun_AntiPersonnelBullet
ShockGame.MachineGun_ArmorPiercingBullet
ShockGame.MachineGun_Bullet
ShockGame.Shotgun_SolidSlug
ShockGame.Shotgun_PhosphorusBuck
ShockGame.Shotgun_00buck
ShockGame.Speargun_TrapSpearAmmo
ShockGame.Speargun_RocketSpearAmmo
ShockGame.Speargun_Spear
ShockGame.Rivet_MagnumAmmo
ShockGame.Rivet_TrapAmmo
ShockGame.Rivet_Ammo
ShockGame.GrenadeLauncher_StickyGrenade
ShockGame.GrenadeLauncher_RPG
ShockGame.GrenadeLauncher_FragGrenade
ShockGame.Hacking_TurretAmmo
ShockGame.Hacking_autohackAmmo
ShockGame.Hacking_Ammo

{Weapon Upgrades}
Haven't tested any of these, but rumor is that these stack past one allowing for huge bonuses to the given stat.

addweaponstatupgrade drill Damage
addweaponstatupgrade drill magazinesize
addweaponstatupgrade drill Length
addweaponstatupgrade rivetgun damage
addweaponstatupgrade rivetGun IgnitionDamage
addweaponstatupgrade rivetgun magazinesize
addweaponstatupgrade machinegun damage
addweaponstatupgrade machinegun kickback
addweaponstatupgrade machinegun ricochet
addweaponstatupgrade Shotgun damage
addweaponstatupgrade Shotgun magazinesize
addweaponstatupgrade Shotgun tesla
addweaponstatupgrade SpearGun FireRate
addweaponstatupgrade SpearGun Damage
addweaponstatupgrade SpearGun Zoom
addweaponstatupgrade GrenadeLauncher MagazineSize
addweaponstatupgrade GrenadeLauncher Immunity
addweaponstatupgrade GrenadeLauncher Cluster

{Research}
Any of these max out your research on a given enemy, giving you whatever damage bonuses, tonics or abilities it would normally give if you had researched to full. Good way to get drill dash early. These all work i believe.

testAddResearchPoints HumanMelee 9000

testAddResearchPoints Humanranged 9000

testAddResearchPoints CeilingCrawler 9000

testAddResearchPoints Brute 9000

testAddResearchPoints Assassin 9000

testAddResearchPoints Security 9000

testAddResearchPoints MadDaddy 9000

testAddResearchPoints BigDaddy 9000

testAddResearchPoints BigSister 9000

as i said, if anyone cares to add information to this it would probably be appreciated. i would appreciate it if someone could give working ID's for some of the broke plasmids and tonics.

1. Why to use cheats? this is a prefect game and the one who use cheats is an a$s!
2. I don't think you can publish this in here.

Does anybody know about cheat that removes maximum cap for ammo and items (med-kits, EVE hypos), so you could make a use of everything you find ? That would be great.

why to use cheats? i feel like they add replay value to single player games. as much as i enjoyed bioshock 2 its far from prefect. as far as the one who use cheats they don't work in multiplayer so no worries?
