Rosie is one of the two types of Big Daddies. It carries a rivet gun and throws proximity mines if it's far enough away from you. It has a second form called Elite Rosie. The Elite Rosie has a big, red collar. It is taller but slower than the Bouncer. They appear on the levels Neptune's Bounty, Arcadia, Farmer's Market, Olympus Height, Apollo Square and Point Prometheus.
In order to reach Frank Fontaine, you disguise yourself as a Rosie after collecting parts of the suit.
The Rosie takes its name from Rosie the Riveter, a WWII-era American cultural icon.
[edit] Strategies
One of the fastest ways to defeat a Rosie is to freeze it with Winter Blast or Frozen Field. Also effective is to use electrical attacks such as Electrobolt, the Chemical Thrower with Electric Gel, or the Shotgun with Electric Buck. This sends the Rosie into a state of shock in which it cannot attack. Rosies are vulnerable to armor-piercing ammunition from the Pistol or Machine Gun. The fire bolts of the crossbow are also are very effective way of dealing a lot of damage per shot.
Another good strategy for many Rosies is to use Hypnotize Big Daddy on them, and then bring them to an area with a Security Camera, and use Security Bullseye. Depending on the area, the Rosie should have one half or more of its life taken away, without angering it. Wait afterwards, however; if it doesn't get another Little Sister before being angered, then the whole endeavor is fruitless. This does not work on Bouncers because Bouncers are inadequate at taking out security bots, and are usually killed before the alarm is over.
