    Bioshock Tonic Question

    Can you lose a tonic when you die? I know I got the first one when I incinerated the body, but when I got the second one, there was not already a filled slot. (yes, I died in between). [*-)]

    you don't lose anything when you die...so maybe you just accidentally hit the "store in bank" option when you got the first one, leading to the menu to be clear when you found the second one...hope that helps.

    Ya you shouldn't lose it. Find a gene bank and you can swap out your equipped tonics\plasmids. This should show your available ones when your selecting for that track.

    okay, I'll have to look out for that, thanks. There really ought to be a way to show you your tonics (or am I missing something else, too?)

    If you just started, you may not find a gene bank until at least the second level.. it may be the third. Also, there are 4 different kinds of Tonics, so the second one may be a different type than the first (combat, engineering, physical...uhhh... one more, I forget)
