Recommended Tonics

General

• The EVE Saver line of Tonics reduces the EVE cost of using Plasmids.
• Drill Specialist restricts the player's weapon selection to the Drill, but also greatly decreases this Plasmid's activation cost. Given how Security Command 2 and 3 can supply the player with a pair of machine gun-equipped Security Bots, this allows one to bypass the Gene Tonic's ranged weapon restrictions.
• Fountain of Youth restores Health and EVE when in water, which can allow constant (and free) regeneration with that Gene Tonic.
• Damage Research bonuses apply to friendly security devices.

Security Devices

• Hardy Machines increases Security Bots and Turrets' health.
• Handyman grants the ability to repair (and name) Security Bots and Turrets.
• Deadly Machines increases the damage output of Security Bots and Turrets.
