Telekinesis for Free:
---------------------
You can use Telekinesis to pull normal items toward you without using any
of your Eve reserve. Your Eve is only used up when you release the trigger
and throw an item using Telekinesis. This means you can use Telekinesis to
pull items like ammo and first aid kits toward you to grab without wasting
any meter. However, if you grab an item that you've already maxed out,
you'll be stuck holding it with Telekinesis--or releasing the trigger to
throw it and waste your meter.
However, if you pull up the plasmid wheel and select another plasmid attack,
you can release the trigger to drop the item without Telekinesis automatically
throwing it. This way you won't waste any meter dropping an item that you
can't carry. This also works for pulling electrified trip wires out of walls.
Pull the item toward you with Telekinesis and, without releasing the trigger,
pull up the plasmid wheel to select another plasmid. When you close the
plasmid wheel and release the trigger, you'll simply drop the item.
No Eve meter spent.
Rumbler Fumble:
---------------
When you fight a Rumbler -- the Big Daddy with rockets -- use telekinesis

Buddy Bots:

Bot Shutdown Panel that is quickly accessible near a vending machine. Hack the
vending machine, but stop the pointer on the red to activate the Security Bots

Easy Security research:
-----------------------
Locate a hackable vending or health machine next to or near a Bot Shutdown Panel. Hack
the machine and stop the pointer on the red to activate the Security Bots to come for you.
Quickly turn and snap the camera on one then shut them down at the panel. The disabled bot
is still highlighted by the research camera and you can research Security easily.
Wait for a Splicer to trip an alarm, causing two security bots to show up. Start rolling
the Research Camera on one bot while it's killing the splicer and then shoot at it with
one of the rapid fire weapons like the machine gun or the rivet gun. This should yield
600-800 research points per bot and there's no risk involved. Note: The fire ammo for the
shotgun incurs massive bonuses for research, so zapping a Splicer and then hitting it with
a few rounds repeatedly can yield up to 1100 research points depending on which Splicer
and which research tonics one is using.
Easy XP in Multiplayer mode:
----------------------------
Have a friend join your game while it is in progress on any team-based game, putting him
or her on the other team. Find a turret anywhere in the map, and make sure there is nobody
around. You and your friend can hack the turret back and forth for 10 XP per hack. Repeat
this as many times as desired.
Defeating Big Sisters:
----------------------
Before you fight the second Big Sister (if you are harvesting ADAM but saving the girls),
you will get an Enrage Plasmid. There are two bodies to scrounge ADAM from. One is more
easily securable, which has a security camera, a rocket launcher bot, and a large puddle
of water in this area. The Big Daddy comes back multiple times. If you drop off the little
girl in her hole near here, you can wait for the Big Sister to show up. Then, enrage the
Big Daddy so that he will take on and kill the Big Sister.
Your only concern will be Splicers and the Big Daddy after he is done with the Big Sister.
Easy "9-Irony" achievement:
---------------------------
After you get your first Little Sister in Ryan Amusements, she will take you back into
the main hall of Ryan Amusements to collect Adam. While she is collecting Adam, Splicers
will attack, breaking down the door to the next part of the level. After going through the
door, there will be a desk on the left with an animatronic Andrew Ryan sitting behind it,
and near a cabinet behind him is a golf club. Use Telekinesis to pick up the club, then
shoot it at the Andrew Ryan animatronic to get the "9-Irony" achievement.
