BioShock Infinite (PS3) Gamechive (Infinite Glitch Farming: Gears, Kills, Lockpicks & Silver Eagles)
"Infinite Glitch Farming: Gears, Kills, Lockpicks, and Silver Eagles"—Turns out there is a bug/glitch that occurs in Chapter 12: Return to Hall of Heroes Plaza. This particular chapter allows the player to infinitely farm and repeat it—if you have the patience—allowing for the accumulation of gears, lockpicks, and silver eagles (coins). Many of the game's kill achievements/trophies can be farmed here as well.
Here's how it works. Play through the chapter, killing off all the enemies in the plaza. (Those particular enemies won't respawn again). There's also a Dollar Bill Vending Machine that can be possessed for coins. (Don't forget about the Shock Jockey door on the other side that was previously blocked.) From there, ride the sky-line to the next set of platforms, where there are enemies and a police airship. You can take out these enemies or skip them, but there is one lockpick on the right side (under stairs) that is worth picking up. From there, ride the sky-line to the next area that contains the ticketing building and Fellow Traveller pub, as well as a small group of enemies. (The Fireman always drops one lockpick.) Possess the vending machines in both buildings to score some coins, as well as the unlocked door (requires 3 lockpicks if not yet accessed, only get gear once) in the ticketing office for some cash registers. Upstairs there is a small stack of silver eagles under the arcade machine. Now, exit back out to Soldier's Field. (Be mindful of the Motorized Patriot that comes to life, and two guards in the bathroom). Take the elevator, possess the two vending machines for coins, and go explore the locked shops on the boardwalk. There are three: ice cream shop (coins), Founders Books (coins and one lockpick), and toy store. The toy store has a Shock Jockey door that has a gear gift in it. (This will respawn upon return!) Once finished, go all the way back to the Hall of Heroes, and enter the door (leaving the plaza). While you're there, go refill via the Salts machine to have a fully stocked Vigor bar. Return to the Hall of Heroes plaza, and repeat all of the above again!
Note: The gear gift up the stairs from the Shock Jockey door in the plaza doesn't respawn, as well as the enemies in the plaza. On the boardwalk, the gear gift (next to the bed) up on the high ledge in the hotel doesn't respawn either. If a player repeats the boardwalk area enough times and keeps obtaining gear from the toy shop, eventually the gift will stop producing gear. That doesn't mean that all of the game's gears have been obtained, as there are a few that are scripted to only be obtained later in the game, but once the gift produces no more gear, then it's done. Also, once the player obtains 30 lockpicks, no more can be picked up as that's the maximum number that can be carried at a time. Once the above has been maxed out, the player can keep repeating the chapter, though, for silver eagles and achievement/trophy kills.
The following 19 achievements/trophies can be farmed by continually repeating this chapter:
- Industrial Accident (Killed 20 enemies with a Sky-Hook Execution.)
- Aerial Assassin (Killed 20 enemies with a Sky-Line Strike.)
- A Real Pistol (Killed 25 enemies with the Broadsider Pistol.)

- Skeet Shoot (Killed 5 enemies while they are falling.)

Once the player has finished farming, go to the boardwalk's end to power up the path to the First Lady Aerodrome (with Shock Jockey) to complete the chapter and to continue on with the game.
