The Protector Trials

"As a Big Daddy, you must protect a Little Sister from swarms of Splicers, desperate to steal the ADAM your charge is collecting. The Protector Trials take place across six different areas from the single-player experience, designed to challenge your skills and make you think creatively about how to use your weapons and plasmids to best fend off the crazed citizens of Rapture."

Protector Trials is the first Single Player Downloadable Content (DLC) for BioShock 2. The Protector Trials will be offered on XBL and GFWL for 400 MS Points and on PSN for $4.99, and will be available on August 3rd. Unlike the main story of BioShock 2, the player will not take the role of Subject Delta but will control another Alpha Series taken out of hibernation by Brigid Tenenbaum just before the events of BioShock 2. She wants the Alpha Series to take ADAM away from Sofia Lamb in an attempt to foil her plans.

Each challenge will require the player to protect a Little Sister while they drain ADAM frm a corpse using a specific set of weapons, plasmids and Gene Tonics unique to every trial. Every location has three trials which can earn the player one, two or three stars for completing them, with a corresponding difficulty level. Earning stars unlocks new trials for the player to complete.

In addition to receiving stars, the player will receive a grade showing how well they accomplished the trial. The less their Little Sister got interrupted while draining ADAM from the corpse, the higher the player's grade. During the trial, the Little Sister will also have an ADAM multiplier: the longer she drains ADAM without being interrupted, the more of it she drains at a time, thus speeding up the process. If the Little Sister is attacked her multiplier will decrease until the player saves her.
