Bioshock Infinite Tips & Tricks - Possession Vigor Guide

[@jamescridland4663]

I actually found charge to be the best. it singke handedly got me through 1999 mode. You can buy the upgrade to make you invincible for a while after AND activating your shield regeneration so if u upgrade your salts and shield with infusions, you can just charge after charge paired with a shotgun and be invincible for a whole minute, and by that time everyone is dead 😃

I love Bioshock infinite, it's one of my favorite games of all time.

[@panchovilla6663]

Is amazing 🤩

[@nsan48]

Actually, a possession trap can inflict more than person at a time if they're quite bunched together. What's cool is that all except for one will immediately commit suicide! :)

[@allthenamesaretaken2]

Shotgun + Charge (invulnerable upgrade) + Overkill. That's all that's needed in the game really. Charge in, insta-kill someone with a shot to the face then his death does AoE stun.

[@Demogorgon47]

Yeah that would've been cool too. I mean at least in Bioshock 2 hypnotize lasted a decent amount of time and you could possess big daddies. But in infinite you can only possess turrets and soldiers and even then only for like 30 seconds. It at least was helpful but then it gets pretty stale after a while. I found it handy for taking care of rocketeers though. They normally have a lot of health so you possess them and they just kill themselves. But it wasn't the best vigor in the game.

[@Ocelllian2]

Thats just it - like Return to Sender, it was only good under specific circumstances. The others like Devils Kiss or Shock Jockey work pretty much anywhere and are effective against any enemy. And at Return to Sender had decent upgrades.

Really love the Bioshock tips, about to start my second playthrough. I hope you keep these videos up! :)

[@panchovilla6663]

Dude you are amazing, do more videos, they are beautifly done 👏🏼

[@TheGameAcclaim]

no it might be the best it got me through the entire game loved it

[@Demogorgon47]

It wasn't that bad. It also helped you gain a decent supply of coinage if you constantly use against vending machines.

[@velhacega]

dude, possession is the best. you can deactivate Robot Patriots and use Sentries, get money from vending machines, etc

[@Jako95]

i find undertow + shock jockey to be very effective. fully upgraded undertow, pull in 3 enemies, hit 'em with fully upgraded shock jockey, the lightning chains to all 3 guys, the undertow boosts the electrical damage and BOOM. triple head explosion.

Personally, I found that this Vigor to be the most useful one in the game. In almost every situation, it's remarkably useful. One reason why it's the most expensive vigor in the game. Your possessed target starts attacks others, can act as a decoy, and even kills the possessed at the end if it's a normal enemy. It's even amazing to use against some of the more durable enemies like the ones with Rocket Launchers and Grenade Launchers. Normally, they take a lot of punishment to take down due to their armor and can really hurt you in the process due to their weapons. So instead of getting hurt and wasting ammo on them...they kill themselves after wreaking havoc for you. Even those super heavily armored shotgun grunts you meet near the end are so easy to take down because of it. Snipers, while not durable like above, are a pain to deal with. Especially on the higher difficulties with their precision and the sheer amount of damage they do with each shot. Instead of putting yourself in danger of trying to shoot one down, loose a possession in their general direction, it will home in to possess them, and they will start killing almost everything in the general vicinity for you. This and the two invincibility gears made 1999 mode so much easier to deal with.

[@MelonMafia1]

And don't get me started about how this is the first vigor you get.

[@Ocelllian2]

I felt like the upgrades were really basic and lame. The first is just to make it useful in combat - something every other Vigor already is. The second makes it cost less - which, again, every other Vigor already does. My suggestion would be that it had all the existing upgrades built in, and two new upgrades: The first would allow you to possess two targets at a time, and the second make the effects permanent on all enemies.

[@CoolBlue1191]

I just hit one person with shock jockey and I have a gear called tornado which if you hit someone being shocked/burned, they spread it and I just shoot a few bullets and they all are turned to dust.

[@osamael-touny3326]

You can only possess one person or machine at a time. If you possess another person, the possession would cancel for the other one.

[@masterE1997]

JV are you going to be uploading more Tomb Raider vids?

[@Demogorgon47]

I didn't mind it. It just didn't last that long and I wound up swapping it over to better vigors.

[@Ocelllian2]

You can't deactivate the robots, you can only posses them for a super short time. After that, they go back to shooting at you. Same for the sentries. Its only real use is on vending machines and as an easy way to get rid of rockets and flac cannoners.

[@optics242]

so possession trap does the same thing as just possessing, it doesn't make it last longer or posses more ppl?

[@maartenboy37]

Its a mode you unlock after comepleting te game its the hardest diffeculty!

[@crimsonsamurai887]

Sometimes halfway the story i could’ve used this for the turrets but i forgot :D

[@Ocelllian2]

Its only useful against rockets, flak cannoners, and occasionally turrets.

[@OnlyNormalJT]

i would just spam possession to as many human enemies as possible and watch as they just kill themselves ending many fights in a few seconds and because Elizabeth would always give me salts i would never run out so i would have 8 enemies killing the machines and then killing themselves without me wasting my ammo.

[@munna1070]

Actually, I knew this... I figured it out on the first Vending Machine. Its a machine right. I though it would give items for free and then I realozed.

[@Ocelllian2]

Yea, but thats sort of like a side ability. I meant for combat.

[@igniii3348]

ty for the tip man

[@davezdragon]

Did you know that you can possess the vending machines for money?

[@milkchocolate9649]
