Trap Rivet

Behind the Scenes[]

  • As revealed on crates seen by the player in the Atlantic Express, Trap Rivets are produced by Sinclair Solutions. They are 60mm, designed for Protectors (AKA Big Daddies), and are "Sensor-Released." The crate texture can be seen in the gallery above.
  • In the early development of BioShock 2, "Heavy Rivets" were originally supposed to be called "Magnum Rivets", as shown in the BioShock 2 E3 2009 Demo.
