Icing Those Big Daddies
This is a super quick, super clean method for defeating those pesky Big Daddies, without losing any health! First, make sure you have a substantial amount of liquid nitrogen ammunition for the chemical thrower, and a suitable weapon for owning the monster such as explosive buck or armor piercing machine gun rounds. This shouldn't be an issue, as there is generally more ammunition than you can use strewn about Rapture. With these weapons in hand, you should be able to freeze the big daddy with liquid nitrogen, switch
to your shotgun, squeeze off a couple of shots, and switch back to the chemical thrower to keep the beast from thawing. If you continue to switch between the two guns, the big daddy will stay immobilized and shatter within seconds, thus making the game's most grueling and arduous fights extremely simple. Do it correctly and you won't need to use a single health pack! This may also be possible (if somewhat harder) with a higher level winter blast plasmid, although this will definitely drain a large amount of EVE. The downside to this tactic is you won't be able to loot the corpse after the fight, although this only means you'll be missing a few dollars.
