Bioshock INI Tweaks (Cheats)

 (This is designed for the Steam release of Bioshock. For the Retail version, simply use the "DefUser.ini" instead of the "DefUser_int.")

Player Effect Cheats

Follow these instructions to be able to obtain any or all of the following Game/Player Effects.

Find and open DefUser_int (located in the Release folder) file. Find the key you want to bind the code to and set the bind (for example, "F10=god").

Save the file and start the game, while in-game press the bound key to toggle.

***NOTE*** The cheat can be deactivated if a video cutscene appears or if you move to a new area.

Plasmid/Tonic Cheats

Follow these instructions to be able to obtain any or all of the following Plasmids/Tonics.

1.) Make a text file, call it Plasmid.txt, Tonic.txt, etc.
2.) In the file DefUser_int, which is located inside the Release folder, set up a key with the following command:

3.) Edit the text file you have just made with any of the following commands and place it into your BioShock "System" folder.
4.) Once you are in the game, hit the button you had bound to "exec Plasmid.txt"
5.) Head to a gene bank.
6.) Enjoy your newfound powers!

***NOTE*** It is advised to use each code ONLY ONCE in each play through. If entered more than once, or if entered after you already obtained it in-game, the game will try to display a power that (technically) is no longer there, as it's just been over-written, and it will not work properly/produce strange effects/bug out your game.

***NOTE*** I have included a few items that do not originally appear in the game. I have given these to you for your convenience/game experience, but use with caution. I will not be held accountable if you have used them improperly. I did not however, include items that have been proven to cause serious glitching/breaking of the game, such as the Teleport plasmid, or items that have no effect/display.

***NOTE*** Each Item has a specific inventory limit listed with "(normal/organic)" next to each code; 999 is more effective to max each item if using multiple codes, so you don't confuse yourself.

***NOTE*** It is not advised to use AddWeaponStatUpgrade or GiveWeapon commands more than once. You should make seperate .txt files for these. It is not advised to use a higher value than (1) for the Slot/Health Bar/Eve Bar codes. You should make seperate .txt files for each Slot Upgrade/Health Bar/EVE Bar, so you can specifically control what you are doing to yourself.
