Especially effective against groups of enemies, but could also help in fighting bigger enemies like big daddies and big sisters.īecause it's hard to score head shots with the machine gun, you'll go through a lot of ammo trying to kill stuff. Huge help! If you fire the launcher at an enemy that's close by, you'll end up taking splash damage.unless you've got this upgrade.Īdds a significant extra punch to every shot you shoot. Not terribly useful unless you're using the launcher a lot. Increases clip from three to five rounds. Proximity mines are great for setting traps when you're expecting a big fight. You won't ever have enough ammo that the launcher becomes your main weapon, but it's certainly useful in the toughest situations. Uses lots of fuel without doing much more than a wall would if you stood behind it.

With the damage increased, you can kill most splicers with a single drill dash, making it perfect for dropping spider splicers that rush you. Since the drill dash is the best attack anyway, a bit of extra fuel economy isn't a big deal.

Helpful, but not a huge help since the drill still burns up fuel at a pretty quick clip. With the drill dash, you can cross great distances in the blink of an eye, good for rushing regular splicers or slipping under security cameras.

Deceptively effective, at least once you get the drill dash during the Pauper's Drop stage.
