Big Spender | 15 | Bronze | Spend 2000 dollars at Vending Machines. It definitely takes some time—and you’ll have to be committed to searching all corpses, lockboxes, and storage crates—but you shouldn’t have any trouble unlocking this bonus by the time you leave Fontaine Futuristics. The biggest threat to your success at becoming the “Big Spender” lies in you not spending your money quickly enough. You can only carry 500 dollars at any given time, and won’t pick up more money than that. So while it’s obviously important that you search everything you can, you must also remember to visit the Circus of Values and El Ammo Bandito machines regularly and spend that money. Otherwise, you risk not collecting enough to spend. |

9-Irony | 5 | Bronze | Paid your respects to the founder of Rapture. Andrew Ryan’s fingerprints are all over Rapture, but nowhere more than at Ryan Amusements, where visitors to the theme park can experience a museum and cart ride constructed entirely in his honor. Seek out one of the many Andrew Ryan mannequins along the “Journey to the Surface” ride and use Telekinesis to knock its head off with a golf club. The exhibit on the first floor near the entrance to the ride platform has a golf club in it for your use, as does the final exhibit at the end of the track. Or you can pay your respects elsewhere, provided you steal a golf club from one of the Thuggish Splicers that frequently wield them. |

Rapture Historian | 40 | gold | Found 100 Audio Diaries. Though there are well over 100 Audio Diaries in the game, you need not find them all in order to unlock this bonus. This should allay your concerns regarding the inability to return to previously visited areas. Follow along with the walkthrough, the maps, and the following table to find as many of the Audio Diaries as you see fit. If you find them all, you unlock this bonus while at Fontaine Futuristics, likely when you pick up the “Gil’s Place in the Plan” recording. Even though you only need to locate 100 for this Achievement/Trophy, the full listing of them is revealed here. Much of Rapture’s story can only be known by locating these Audio Diaries. Though you’ll find the text for all 128 of them in the walkthrough, it’s always a good idea to seek them out in the game. |
