[[invoked]] Irrational's creative lead, Ken Levine, based the story on the aesthetics and [[UsefulNotes/{{Objectivism}} Objectivist]] writings of Creator/AynRand, most notably ''Literature/AtlasShrugged''. The fate which befalls Rapture -- intended as a haven for Earth's best and brightest -- can be viewed as either a [[InferredHolocaust logical conclusion of that book]], or what happens if [[NoTrueScotsman any "false" objectivist]] refuses to follow their philosophy to the letter. However, Levine wrote the game so that it itself refrains from taking a side in the Objectivist debate; the moral of Rapture, if it can be said to have one, is that achieving a utopian society is [[HumansAreFlawed unwinnable by design.]]

* BoomHeadshot: Headshots inflict four times normal damage with the pistol, and ten times normal damage with the crossbow.

* BoomHeadshot: Headshots inflict four times normal damage with the pistol, and ten times normal damage with the crossbow. A single headshot with the pistol using the default ammo is enough to kill most enemies until you get to Arcadia, which significantly increases the health capacity of every enemy.

* TheInfested: The Insect Swarm plasmid causes the player character to become one of these, able to store killer hornets in his body (which turns into a hive-like structure) and then have them home in on enemies.

Added DiffLines:

* BlindIdiotTranslation: In the French localization, the usable smoking pipe lying next to Jasmine Jolene's corpse is referred as "''tuyau''", which refers to ''plumbing" pipes. The pipe being a unique power-up, and the other type of pipe being ubiquitous in the game probably contributed to this confusion.
