News Vendor

The 'Rapture Tribune' News Vendor machines are found throughout Rapture in BioShock and BioShock 2 and can usually be found in public places like malls, shops and train stations. These vending machines are usually found in a neglected and dilapidated state, but occasionally the player will come across a new machine in a pristine condition. These pristine machines have a clear glass door and it is possible to see a clean 'Rapture Tribune' newspaper inside.

The headlines on the front page of the newspaper read:

'Recent Bloodshed Causes Panic'

'Five Dead in Latest Attacks After Months of Peace'

'Arcadia Sets Curfew Once Again Due To Outbreaks of Violence'

The player cannot interact with the News Vendor machines and they have no use in game.
