How to unlock the Choose the Impossible achievement in BioShock 2 - Definitive Guide
ok the good thing about Bioshock 2's multiplayer is that it's kind of like Modern Warefare2, you DO NOT need to win to earn xp, just do certain things while the match is going on. Bioshock 2 offers about 10-12 different ways of earning xp.
10 points for every kill
5 points for assits
100 points for killing a Big Daddy
50 points for becoming a Big Daddy
10 points for each Adam vial you find (the red ones that look like eve hypo)
10 points for Hacking a Turret or Vending Machine
75-500 points for completing Trials - this can be simple tasks like killing a big daddy with a shotgun or melee killing someone who is on fire. (thanks to whoever left the comment)
You can earn a Max of 200 points from your match standing, so the better you do of course the more adam you earn.
50 points for getting a killstreak, i'm not sure how many kills this requires
10 points for each research photo you take
50 points for capturing a little sister
3 points per second for holding the little sister in ADAM grab (guidebook give me that info)
~The Strategy~
Bioshock 2's multiplayer has several games modes
Survival of the Fittest (Free for all)
Civil War (Team Deathmatch)
Capture the Little Sister (CTF)
Turf War (where you have 3 points to hold onto for a certain amount of time)
Adam Grab and Team Adam Grab (Basically Halo 3's oddball, you hold a little sister for the longest time possible)
and Last Splicer Standing (basically you only get 1 life and once u die thats it till next round)
1) When trying to go for level 40, I DO NOT recommend playing Turf War, Team Adam Grab or Last Splicer Standing, UNLESS you have a good enough team, if you never get the little sister then the game will end quickly without much chance to get xp from it. The point is to try and earn as much Adam as you can during a match.
2) Game Modes like Civil War and Capture the Little Sister can last for the longest amount of time. The goal while the match goes on is try and earn every single piece of point you can. Hack every turret or vending you come across (10 points there) When finding an enemy try to kill them as best as you can, if your not able to then try and run away, a lot times (at least for me) the enemy doesn't allows follow you because chances are he is hurt too. If you come across a firefight with enemies and your team, try to land at least a melee hit or a bullet on the enemy evening if your not going to kill him, this will still earn you 5 points. Plus even if your team doesn't win, if you can still get 1st or 2nd place among the ranks you'll earn 150 or 200 adam for it. So winning if not everything to ranking up
3) Pick up any red vials of Adam you see, a lot of people don't seem to care about them but hey its a quick 10 points toward leveling up. Also research every dead enemy body you come across, again a quick 10 points, plus it helps with killing them.
4) Try to become the Big Daddy whenever you can, if your not able to, don't waste your time trying to kill him first (I mean make sure you help take him down, but don't solely focus on him) try to kill him when he is near death, that way if you land the killshot that earns you 100 points (this happens less more than often, but hey in every Civil War, there is usually 2 Big Daddies at most)
5) I can't offer any great tips on earning kills, the only strategy I find helps is use Aero Dash with a Shotgun, hit them with Aero Dash, shotgun them, then melee right away if they are still alive, this will usually kill them right after the melee, as long as your quick enough. Getting kills comes with luck or skill at times, depending on the person you go up against, so get those research photos to help with this.
6) Trials can be your biggest help at leveling up sometimes. Once you earn trials at level 3, start working on them, several of them are simple like land electric bolt 30 times on an enemy or take 30 research pics overtime. Try to complete as many trials as you can, cause they can drastically increase your total adam for that match if you end up completing several at one time.
Sorry for the Length lol. Hope this guide can help offer some advice on leveling up, if you try to pick up as many little points during a match as you can you can earn roughly 600-900 adam a game. I've been playing multiplayer (according to the statistic's page in the game) for about 6-8 hours and I'm already level 18. If you feel I need to add anything or forgot something let me know
You can only do this trick on Farmers Market there is a vending machine that is infront of a little mini wall you can hack behind the wall and have the other person hold the little sister to trigger the trap. Doing this with speedy hack will net you close to 3000 xp a game if done without mistakes.
Credit goes to EL MACHO46 for finding this.
UPDATE!
I was recently finishing up the dlc for this game and me and my friend XRL8ing666 found a trick above all others for this game. It may or may not be common knowledge yet but on the map Smugglers Hideout there is a gold mine of an adam trick.
Go to the vending machine near where the little sister spawns and have one guy stand near the left side of the vending machine and the one hacking it on the right side. You can hack here without having the bomb hurt either of you because it falls into the water. Over 3000 adam a game with ease here.
Again this is a boosting method so if you are anti boosting im sorry but boosting is legal get over it.

I am on rank 32 (61,000)
so I know that I need another 36,000 to get to rank 40 (97,000),
so that means I need to do no more than 5 hours more turret boosting.
(as 7,750 x 5 = 38,750).
I hope this has been of some help to you guys.
1. Get a few other people who want to boost.
2. Play ADAM Grab (Not the team one)
3. Try to pick a level with at least 3 turrets (So up to 6 people may boost)
4. If you do not get a level with 3 then just have the 2 other players trade off on holding the little sister for points. (If you have 6 people.)
5. Get 2 people per turret.
6. Trade off hacking it for 10 points every 5 seconds-ish
7. Make sure everyone has Speed Hacker (I forgot what its called) to make it go by faster.
[EDIT:] If nobody touches the little sister everybody gets the bonus points for a win, because the game results in a equal tie.
If for whatever reason, you want to boost and you don't have Speed Hacker you could always boost w/o it. Yes, it will be slower but eventually you will unlock Speed Hacker and then you're all good.
GOOD LUCK!!!
Feel free to message me if anything was not clear enough.
I think that the best way to obtain this achievement legit is to play Civil War how much as you can. Survival of the Fittest is much more frustrating and less effective, Capture the Sister takes too long. Others are much more less effective.
One Civil War match takes about 5-7 minutes, and you get at least 150 ADAM for completing each (if you aren't in the winning team) or 200 ADAM (if your team win tha match) even if you don't do anything else during this time.
You can easily gain about 350-500 ADAM if your stats are good (10 ADAM per each kill, photo, hack & vials, 50 ADAM for killing streak, 5 ADAM for kill assist, 100 ADAM for Big Daddy kill and 50 ADAM for each being Big Daddy) or much more if you complete some trials (additional 75-500 ADAM for each).
I've gained level 40 (97.000 ADAM) in about 25 hours total playing time without boosting at all (+ about 3 hours waiting/lobby time).
* If you want to leave a negative vote, please tell me why, so I can fix my solution if there are any mistakes in it.
1 turret boost give 1700 if fast. 2 turret boost is 3400. the vending boost give you 3000 boost and your partner 200 first boost and vice versa second boost. 3200 adam against 3400. but 3200 is still better then running around and do trials if theres only 2 turrets use this. to the boost details now
how to boost it:
* first check the guides how to make a group. (adam grab boost)
* you need telekinesis
* try to find a vending machine not far of the little sister
here how its work
person A hacks the vending. it turns red. person B runs to the vending and a second later he press L2. and hold L2. if done correctly person B is holding the vending machine bomb now. person B moves closer to the vending BUT NOT TO CLOSE and stand before the vending (the part where the clown is drawn) person B keeps holding the L2 button (telekinesis tonic). you will not run out of eve. it will go to zero your eve but if your keep holding it it wont cancel the telekinesis. person A hacks now for a full 10 min. he should have 3000 if everythings go well. if there is a second map with 2 turrets person A switch with B
last note: this can take a couple of tries if doing this boost for the first time. expect you explode a few times before you mastered this boost
positive points.
there are alot of vending machines. you can find many.
negative points
personnaly i didnt like this way of boosting. because it was not organised and the biggest negative point if doing vending boost your stuck with your partner. because if you hack your partner owns the next hack.
- Rank 10: 9000 ADAM.
- Rank 20: 25500 ADAM.

There are by the way, two commonly followed boosting methods:
1) Taking turns hacking turrets: Simply put, the boosting method is based on taking turns hacking Turrets. You must do this "ADAM Grab" (i.e. NOT "Team ADAM Grab"!) since it has six-player only gamemode (i.e. you + 5 boosters) and it lasts for 10 mins. Each map has 2-3 turrets, so it's very possible. To make it faster, equip the "Speedy Hacker" Tonic (unlocked at Rank 24). In ideal circumstances, you can make up to 1700-1800 ADAM per match! That said, it IS a time-consuming boosting method (13-15 hours), but time will fly by quickly because you're rank up fairly quickly and everytime you rank up, there is a cutscene announcing the new weapons and Tonics/Plasmids you unlocked. Here is the detailed guide on how to boost (credits go to Tinytone for this guide!)
2) Vending Machine hacks with Winter Blaster (Credits go to Terminator for this method!): This method relies on the tonics "Speedy Hacker" (again, unlocked at level 24) and "Winter Blaster." It involves taking turns (alternating) hacking then freezing the vending machine (i.e. one hack and one freeze per person per turn). Terminator explains below:
Player 1 freezes the machine and Player 2 hacks it then you switch so Player 2 does the freezing and Player 1 does the hacking. You carry on alternating like that until the match ends. If you end up on a map with almost no turrets and Vending Machines then work on challenges and collecting the ADAM vials that are lying around .
The latter boosting method is a relatively recently discovered method that seems to have become the more popular choice. However, your choice of boosting method is entirely up to you!

It’s stupid to look for someone for multiplayer now, especially since the Russian version from 1C remains without patches and you can only play with the same “lucky” owners of a copy from 1C. But if you still want to complete the game 100%, then there is a way out!
First, you need to have 4 keys for GFWL games (4 - because I came across information that 1 key cannot be activated on several accounts. I didn’t check it myself.) Next, in addition to the existing Xbox account, we create 3 more. I’ll immediately make a reservation about the system on which we played all “perversions”)) - Win 7x64, six-core Phenom 1075, 8Gb of memory, video Radeon 7870. Create three more accounts in Windows (Start-> Control Panel-> Accounts and Family Safety-> User Accounts.) Next, one by one We log into each account and activate the game. At the same time, you can immediately set the graphics settings to the minimum and enable windowed mode; in full screen I had constant crashes. After that, you can log in to the cartoon under each account. To play, you need to select the “Capture ADAM” mode, the only mode for four, in the rest you need at least six. Well, the most important thing is that after the start of the match, under each account, you need to select ammunition for each player, otherwise they simply will not appear on the map. And then we run on the map, we hack everything that can be hacked, collect everything that is collected, kill everyone who gets in the way and explore them (by default, the F button), perform tests, and 4 minutes before the end we grab Sister (she also gets experience). and that's it. Almost everything...
For three achievements ( Disgusting Frankenstein , "Mr. Bubbles-- No!" , Mother Goose ) you need a minimum of 6 players...
