销魂城里的一只蜘蛛Splicer

这只小鱼看起来像他刚试过他的第一次了!真想知道他身上还有没有剩点ADAM。
―看着有点疑惑的杰克、正试着在他身上找ADAM的Spilers

Splicers 是在生化奇兵系列头2集最常见的敌人。 作为剩余销魂城人口的他们是在销魂城内战的暴力冲突中使用ADAM的结果。在这战役里,还有之后混乱的日子里,Splicers明显地杀了城市里大部分正常的人。由于滥用ADAM,他们的身体和思想已经变得畸形(虽然他们有些的身体残障是归功于J.S. Steinman医生的整形手术)。他们变得在心理跟物理上也很依赖那些物质。他们很多戴着化妆舞会的面具,又或者是阿特拉斯提议的,因为ADAM让他们身体变形而感到羞耻。[1]

虽然Spicer这个术语可以用在所有使用ADAM改变他们基因结构的人,但是它变成了只用来形容那些对物质上瘾、精神失常、身体因为上瘾变得畸形的人。

症状[]

根据ADAM的发现者-Brigid Tenenbaum博士,那个基因奇迹药物靠着把对象本来的细胞换成新的、不断改变的变量。[2] 需要时细小、受控的,否则PlasmidGene Tonics的简单运用会引起对人类身体的严重、长期影响。不过,就想其他危险药物,ADAM是能令人上瘾、易于引起不良副作用的。药物的本质让使用者对物质产生依赖。

不良影响[]

ADAM运作于基因层面。由于它跟对象间的互相作用非常不稳定,一大堆的有害反应能在使用者体内表现。有些使用者发生了可怕的身体上的畸形的同时,其他也有如Sander Cohen只有很少明显的基因变异却患上精神病。重点是在不同人身上,副作用也不同。尽管如此,在大的Splicer群体中能够发现到有些相同的缺陷。长期滥用ADAM可发生意想不到的意外:

  • 从眼睛、鼻孔、嘴巴流血
  • 失明[3]
  • 皮肤上形成结晶
  • 皮肤松弛
  • 死亡[3]
  • 脱发
  • 产生幻觉
  • 虹膜异色症
  • 精神错乱[3]
  • 失眠
  • 出现黄疸
  • 病变
  • 记忆力减退
  • 红疹
  • 蜘蛛痣
  • 牙龈红肿
  • 并指畸形
  • 牙齿脱落
  • 肿瘤
  • 静脉曲张
  • 白蚀症

生化奇兵[]

"Ignore the lies of Atlas and his Parasites

"Ignore the lies of Atlas and his Parasites. 销魂城 is on the rise!"

主要文章:BioShock

生化奇兵里,Splicers在销魂城的走廊和隧道里徘徊,寻找ADAM,一般以大多与她们的Big Daddy保护者一起的Little Sisters的形态出现(一些杰克能够容易利用来帮助他生存的东西)。Splicers大多会穿很少装甲(如果有的话),但他们有优越的体能,比Big Daddy更具攻击性。他们有时候会群体活动,使用Plasmids,有时候更会装死。

刺客Splicers[]

主要文章:刺客Splicers

刺客Splicers以近战武器攻击。他们可以在整个游戏里找到,而且相当弱,但是走得快和以群体攻击弥补了这点。在游戏后期,这个种类的Splicers更经常会装备Electric Flesh Gene Tonic,让他们对所有电击伤害如Electro BoltStatic Discharge Gene Tonic产生免疫。

Leadhead Splicer[]

主要文章:Leadhead Splicer

Leadhead Splicer 可以拿枪,以手枪机关枪攻击。他们也可以在整个游戏里找到,但比刺客Splicer更危险,因为他们可以在一段距离外攻击。Leadhead Splicer尽可能跟玩家保持距离,但在非常近的距离,他们会试着用手枪打玩家。他们跟杰克一样需要上弹,当他们上弹时,他们会变得毫无防备。他们也比刺客Splicer有更多血量,让他们更难被打败,特别是多于一只的时候。

蜘蛛Splicer[]

主要文章:蜘蛛Splicer

虽然玩家从Neptune’s Bounty才开始大他们,但蜘蛛Splicer是玩家来到销魂城看到的第一只Splicer。这些Splicers可以在天花上爬行、在远距离向玩家丢钩子,可以用Telekinesis抓住丢回去。当在地上时,蜘蛛Splicer能够贴到最近来物理攻击玩家,然后马上跳到天花,或者后空翻走,再在另一个角度再跑过来。他们在墙上爬行的灵活性和能力令他们变得难以被攻击,还有他们在墙上爬行着埋伏玩家的手法可以让他们吓到所有手足无措的人。有些能够很容易听到他们的移动,都是托龟裂灰泥声音的福。

魔术师Splicer[]

主要文章:魔术师Splicer

当玩家进入Arcadia,玩家会第一次遇到魔术师Splicer。这些Splicers有在战斗中瞬间移动的能力,在一个位置消失,再在另一个位置出现。可以透过他们身边的一团烟来追踪他们,让他们便得更容易看见。魔术师Splicer大多靠发射球(在某些例子中会是),但就像Leadhead Splicer一样,会在近距离使用物理攻击。在战斗中,魔术师Splicer使用“打完就走”的策略来出现、发射攻击、消失,重复循环。

炸弹Splicer[]

主要文章:炸弹Splicer

炸弹Splicer在整个游戏里很罕有,大多在Neptune’s Bounty。第一只玩家遇见的是在Medical Pavilion. 他们会以远距离向玩家丢手榴弹(后期为手持式汽油弹)来攻击。在近战范围,他们会丢一个烟雾弹在地上,来暂时让玩家失去判断力,或者他们会尝试逃跑,再丢一个炸弹,又或者尝试踢开玩家,做成温和的损伤。濒临死亡,他们会放下一个手榴弹,目的是如果玩家在近距离是受到伤害。常见杀死这类型Splicer的方法是用Telekinesis抓住他的手榴弹,丢回去。研究这类型Splicer会增加他们的炸弹变成臭弹的机会。

生化奇兵2[]

Lamb's loyal Splicers.

主要文章:生化奇兵2

在十年的结合跟幸存后,Splicers少了,但比原作游戏遇见的更有侵略性、更有力量。他们的脸更畸形,跟他们面具的形状相符。他们的四肢严重变形得更长更柔软,在某些例子中,骨架会自己重塑(就像发展出多余的手指、脚趾,甚至利爪一样)。在剩下的Splicers增加了的恢复力上,显示出一个扭曲的团结形态因为Sofia LambRapture Family的影响。Splicers对Family的忠心令他们不再与Little Sisters对立,但他们视Subject Delta为敌人,一看到他就攻击。

在第一集游戏看到的一些Splicer模型仍然会在生化奇兵2中出现,就像Leadhead Splicers和蜘蛛Splicers,与其他新的或进化的模型在第二集游戏中变得独特。Splicers可以在开枪的同时向Delta丢手榴弹。

野蛮Splicer[]

主要文章:野蛮Splicer

第一次在生化奇兵2中出现的一个新的Splicer种类。野蛮Splicer比其他Splicer体型大很多、更有力量和更笨重,可以拿起销魂城里的一大批东西或遍地的瓦砾,就像大石、爆炸物,再丢向玩家。野蛮Splicers可以做出惊人的跳跃,可以是几米高跟几米远。

生化奇兵2 多人模式[]

Test our home-defence products in the field and tell us how you feel!

主要文章:生化奇兵2 多人模式

就如生化奇兵2多人模式的叙事概念部分,所有玩家需要选择销魂城里因为各自原因应征加入Sinclair Solutions Home Consumer Rewards Program的市民角色。他们帮企业测试武器、Plasmids和其他genetic enhancements,和进行Ryan Industries为了他们最新“家庭防御”的产品线的实地测试。可是,所有那些改进让他们变成Splicers,毁灭了他们的身体和慢慢驱使他们变疯。

海葬[]

What remains of Fontaine's army.

What remains of Fontaine's army.

主要文章:早期的Splicers

在Rapture内战因为停药让Splicers变心理和物理上的不稳定前,其实看到很多只有小量可见的基因或精神破坏迹象的市民使用Plasmids和Tonic enhancements。有些可以在Market StreetHigh Street看到,例如Le Temps Perdu中服务客人的侍应生,还有一个以他的spliced美学吸引异性的男人。这不代表没有危险的Splicers。在Andrew Ryan和市政府审查,关闭大部分Fontaine的企业后,潜行者Splicers(很多是Fontaine残留的军队)被困在下沉的Fontaine’s Department Store。Splicers和销魂城的ADAM供应连接被截断,令他们的精神越来越错乱。

他们很多是Leadhead Splicers或者刺客Splicers,还有新的Splicer种类:寒冰Splicer。这些Splicers没有内战后那些变异得那么多,但仍然可以看到因为滥用ADAM和在打Ryan势力时各种伤害令精神不稳定。1958新年派对前被与销魂城其他部分截断连接,他们没有前几集游戏看到那些与众不同的化妆舞会面具。大多男性Splicers穿着木货箱或简陋地剪出来的品牌海报图(如Hop-Up SodaCircus of ValuesMeal-Time Frozen Dinners)当面具。有些女性Splicers以浓妆遮盖她们的脸,或者像化妆舞会或面部人工贴片的面具。

寒冰Splicer[]

主要文章:寒冰Splicer

长满突起的、结冰的赘生物,寒冰Splicers可以向Booker DeWitt发射多发爆弹,不只让他暂时错愕,还把其他路上的敌人结冰。他们的变形是喝下过量的新饮品式PlasmidOld Man Winter。第一只寒冰Splicer是在Rapture on ice遇到。他们对结霜型(或者相似)的攻击有免疫。

Splicer Models[]

There are ten Splicer models in BioShock and eight in BioShock 2. Their names are not revealed in-game; instead, they are associated with the sound files used for their sound bites in the game data. The Pigskin, Plastered Splicer, Rosebud, and Waders only appear in the first game. The models that return in BioShock 2 have a more deformed appearance, Additionally, two new Splicer models were introduced; Brute and Crawler, who both have their own splicer type. Splicers are also given a unique and totally new model when seen from a Little Sisters perspective. Also with Minerva's Den, the narrative Downloadable Content for BioShock 2, a further two more splicer models are shown; Heady and Buttons. Each of those models feature their own appearance (with some variants in colors) personality and social rank, making them characters on their own.

In the same way as the two first singleplayer games, each of the ten playable characters in BioShock 2 Multiplayer also feature their own appearance and personality, as well as social rank. This and their associated Audio Diaries contribute to telling a different story for each of them.

In the narrative DLC for BioShock Infinite, Burial at Sea, which returns to the city of Rapture on the eve of its war, six new splicer models are introduced. The early male and female splicers encountered in the game are what is left of Fontaine's army after his failed attempt of taking over the city. Both of these models feature different designs and personalities, unlike the models seen in previous games. A third model known as the Frosty Splicer, is also shown, and is the first splicer model to show the effects of Drinkable Plasmids.

In the second episode of this DLC, Burial at Sea - Episode 2, Ryan's Security Forces are encountered by the players, many of which are splicers, and thus show deformities, although they seem to be quite sane.

Behind the Scenes[]

  • Early in the design process of BioShock, Splicers were known only as "Aggressors".[4]
  • The term "Splicer" is a reference to gene splicing[5], a natural process that occurs during RNA transcription in cells.
  • Several Splicer models are based on soldiers who sustained horrific facial injuries from the First World War and subsequently underwent pioneering surgery to reconstruct their faces with varying degrees of success.[6]
  • In BioShock 2, there is always one original model and three variations for each of the Splicers' models, plus some variations for specific levels or characters, such as Brute models dressed as orderlies and Toasty models dressed as inmates in Persephone Penal Colony, or Daniel and Simon Wales' Breadwinner and Crawler specific models. Most of these variations, which consist of different clothing, hair and skin colors, are shown in BioShock 2's artbook, Deco Devolution.
  • Each Splicer model (with the exception of Heady, Buttons, Crawler, Survivor, and the men and women trapped in Fontaine's) has their own cartoon character, which can be seen on Plasmid instruction videos as well as various advertisements.
  • In the Clash in the Clouds downloadable content of BioShock Infinite, completing each of the four levels will unlock at the Columbian Archeological Society a Tear to a water puddle, which, when activated, will bring in a Thuggish Splicer bearing the Toasty model's body and a Waders' head and wearing a white rabbit mask. This Easter egg is advertising the next two DLC packs for BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode 1 and Episode 2, which both take place in Rapture.
  • In Burial at Sea, the Frosty Splicer uses the same model of the scrapped Vigor Junkie from BioShock Infinite.
  • The cartoon versions of Splicers "pre-fall" from BioShock and BioShock 2 can be seen in several Need to Know Theaters, training, and propaganda videos in Burial at Sea - Episode 1 and Episode 2, including: Breadwinner, Ducky, Baby Jane, Dr. Grossman, Waders, and Lady Smith.
