Bouncer



Bouncer is one of the two types of Big Daddies. Bouncers are more agile than Rosies, the other type of Big Daddy, but are entirely ineffective in ranged combat. The Bouncer's main weapon is an oversized drill attached to its right arm. They generally attack using powerful blows at close range, with a fast charge being their only offensive long range ability. Later on in the game, the player encounters Elite Bouncers, which use a spinning harpoon instead of a drill, are decorated with red stripes and are more difficult to deal with than the earlier Bouncers. The bouncers' distinctive helmets, with multiple small portholes and protection cages, appear to be based on the French Carmagnolle type of diving suit.

Strategies
Tatics involved in killing a Bouncer vary slightly from a Rosie as it's advisable to stay out of melee range. Using electrical attacks such as Electrobolt, the Chemical Thrower with Electric Gel, or the Shotgun with Electric Buck sends the Bouncer into a state of shock in which it cannot attack. Bouncers are vulnerable to armor-piercing ammunition from the Pistol or Machine Gun.

One trick to instantly kill an Elite Bouncer late in the game is to set up 3-5 electric trap wires with the Crossbow, stand on the opposite side of them and shoot the Bouncer from the other side, the Bouncer will charge through the electric trap and either die instantly or be close to death.

It can also be noted that the air tank on the back of the bouncer can be a weakness, by knocking the valve off with a wrench then firing at the gas that comes out, the resulting explosion does a lot of damage.Or shoot it twice with the incendiary bolts (works like a charm against big daddies; two shots only)
