Nem is kérdéses, hogy a plasmidok és tonicok nélkülözhetetlen segítséget jelentenek Rapture-i utunk során. Míg a plasmidok szó szerint a kezünkbe adják a legkülönfélébb trükkös és furfangos támadási formákat, addig a tonicok néhány passzív képességgel ruháznak fel bennünket, azok kisebb-nagyobb előnyeivel.
Mivel maholnap megjelenik a BioShock 2, jobb lesz idejében számba venni ezeket a hasznos, és gyakran nélkülözhetetlen eszközöket, illetve szembesülni azok jótékony hatásaival. Az MTV játékokkal foglalkozó részlege nem olyan rég tette közzé az egyszemélyes kampányban fellelhető tonicokés plasmidok listáját, így nekik köszönhetően most mi is beszámolhatunk ezekről. De jó ha tudjuk, hogy az itt olvasható plasmidok közül hiányoznak azok, amelyeket csak a multiban tudunk használni. Őket még titokban tartják. A lista terjedelme és az időhiány miatt angolul vagyok kénytelen közzétenni azt, de öröm az ürömben, hogy minimális nyelvtudással már könnyen érthetővé válik az iromány.
