BioShock Message Board  

Weapon Upgrade Commands
1. Create "upgrades.txt" in \Content\System within your BioShock installation folder (i.e. C:\Program Files\2K Games\BioShock\Content\System). Add any of the codes listed below to upgrades.txt and save it. Be sure to preserve the spacing. Each code must be on its own line in the file. 2. Open “User.ini” in “X:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Bioshock” for XP or “X:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\BioShock” for Vista. You may need to enable viewing of hidden files and folders to find it. 3. Find the section entitled [Default]. 4. Within this section, find an unbound key that you want to use and bind it to the command "Exec upgrades.txt" (i.e. F7=Exec upgrades.txt). NOTE: If you give upgrades for a weapon you don't have yet, the upgrades will be applied when you pick up that weapon, so you don't have to wait to get a weapon before you upgrade it.
