He acquires an identical weapon after being outed as the "False Shepherd" and attacked by Columbia security forces. Booker receives one in a box at the very start of the game, but loses it almost immediately, dropping it as the rocket which takes him to Columbia starts up. Mauser C96Ī modified Mauser C96 is the first weapon received in the game and a common sight among Columbia's security forces and the Vox Populi guerrillas it is simply called the "Pistol" in-game, while the trophy / achievement list calls it the "Broadsider" unused text refers to it as the "Broadsider C-99". The final game has no visual changes for weapon upgrades, and the Colt doesn't have capacity upgrades anyway. Elizabeth's animations with the weapon in Episode 2 are slower and more clunky, showing her inexperience with firearms.Ĭoncept art for a capacity upgrade for one of the alternate revolvers shown above, similar to that in the original Bioshock. It reappears in Burial at Sea Episode 1 and 2 with a cleaner appearance and golden decor, featuring as the first weapon in Booker's inventory in Episode 1 (seemingly standing in for the Webley from Bioshock 1). The same model of pistol can be seen in the hands of statues of Cornelius Slate and Zachary Comstock in the Hall of Heroes. Booker reloads it using a speedloader which somehow causes the extractor to retract itself when the rounds are inserted, and it is shown as single-action with Booker thumb-cocking the hammer after each shot. Bizarrely, the weapon still appears to have the loading lever of the percussion cap model, though it is encased in a surround which would render it useless. Early footage showed it with an incorrect swing-out cylinder, but the version in the final game is instead a still-incorrect top-break design with an automatic extractor and the frame extended over the top of the cylinder. Both episodes of Burial at Sea include new weapons, new skins for old weapons and new "Plasmids".Īn ornately engraved Colt 1851 Navy revolver is the second pistol available in the game, referred to as the "Hand Cannon" in game and the "Paddywhacker" in the trophy / achievement listing unused text refers to it as the "Paddywhacker US5". Episode 2 (released March 25th 2014) features Elizabeth trying to escape Rapture with Sally in tow (and things get strange from there). Episode 1 (released November 12th 2013) transplants Booker and Elizabeth to the underwater city of Rapture, mere hours before the New Years Riots of 1959, on the search for this Booker's adopted daughter "Sally". Three DLC packs have been released since Infinite's success the arena-style Clash in the Clouds and the two-part sub-story Burial at Sea. Similarly, the plasmids of the earlier games have been reappropriated by Columbians as "Vigors", upwards of 40 years before their invention in the universe of the first two games. Because of that, the weapons in the game are Columbia-made renditions of other, real-world weapons that have absolutely no business being in an American nation in 1912, especially one so deeply anti-foreigner. The Lutece twins, people working for Comstock that see into/travel between alternate realities, "provide" all of the scientific discovery for the technology that makes Colombia possible by stealing it from more advanced worlds. He soon finds himself embroiled in a civil war between the "Founders" who control Columbia and the revolutionary "Vox Populi" guerillas who seek to overthrow Comstock's dictatorial rule, and that Elizabeth may be the key to unravelling the mystery of Columbia. The player controls Booker Dewitt (voiced by Troy Baker), a former Pinkerton agent and soldier now working as a private detective, who is hired by a mysterious benefactor to track down a young woman named Elizabeth who is being held by Columbia for unknown reasons. For the most part it is a sequel in name only instead of the 1960s underwater city of Rapture it takes place in an alternate 1912, where a flying city called Columbia has been constructed by a self-styled prophet named Zachary Comstock, the game taking place shortly after Columbia's secession from the United States.
