Trials

Trials are challenges in BioShock 2's Multiplayer and its downloadable content, the Sinclair Solutions Tester Pack, which upon completion grant the player an ADAM reward. Trials require the player to either fulfill a specific task several times, or achieve a much harder challenge on one occasion, and can be unlocked by reaching a specific rank. There are three types of trials: Weapon Trials, Plasmid/Combo Trials and General Trials. Each type contains various skill testing tasks.
