Geyser Trap

A prototype of the original Cyclone Trap, Geyser Trap allows traps to be placed, which when touched, will shoot out a burst of water, throwing enemies into the air. The caster can also use this feature to perform powerful jumps. This Plasmid is exclusive to the BioShock 2 Multiplayer.

Combat Strategy
This plasmid is similar in many respects to Cyclone Trap, so for a more in-depth strategy guide see the relevant article. However, there are more than a few differences, which will be detailed here:

First of all, this plasmid also has an effect on the caster, which means that a player who goes over the Geyser Trap they placed will be propelled into the air (with little to no damage received). This means one can perform Geyser Jumps to achieve the following:


 * One can perform a Geyser Jump to fly up balconies or over large chasms, or otherwise reach certain areas in the level much faster than would a player without using this plasmid.


 * One can perform a Geyser Jump to pass over an enemy, both confusing them and, combined with the above strategy, allowing the player to take evasive action.


 * By placing several Geyser Traps and continuously jumping over them, the player will effectively make themselves much harder to hit, while maintaining a continuous height advantage.

Note: Jumping onto a Geyser Trap while under the effects of Aero Dash will greatly increase jump length, at the cost of maneuverability and the ability to attack.

Secondly, like the other plasmids in BioShock 2, the Geyser Trap can be combined with another Plasmid for an added bonus. Here are the ones that have already been confirmed:


 * Charging a Geyser Trap with Electro Bolt will make it deal added electrical damage, and will temporarily stun the victim. It is speculated that an enemy who stepped on a Geyser Trap will also be temporarily wet, meaning any electrical attacks against them will deal increased damage and stun them for longer.


 * Charging a Geyser Trap with Winter Blast will temporarily freeze the victim, allowing them to be shattered in mid-air.
