A homemade Big Daddy fantasy from Bioshock left fans thrilled and terrified at the same time. The 2007 atmospheric shooter had some incredibly memorable locations and enemy designs, and Big Daddy was one of them. Big Daddies are huge thugs that resemble old metallic diving suits with a drill for a hand. Spotting a Big Daddy, or the Little Sister that usually accompanied them, was enough to strike fear into even the bravest player.
StalwartStud on Reddit perfectly captured the essence of Big Daddy, recreating the iconic Bioshock monster in a surprisingly detailed costume. The suit is over two meters tall and has glowing orbs on its face and an impressive level of detail.
StalwartStud worked on the costume on and off for about two years. Big Daddy is surprisingly realisticlooking like a large metal beast. According to its creator, however, the entire chassis doesn’t weigh much because it’s made of foam (although it’s apparently uncomfortable to walk on thanks to the length of the arms).
BioShock Big Daddy Cosplay Is As Awesome As It Is Terrifying
Fans love it, but wouldn’t want to meet it alone at night
StalwartStud’s cosplay not only replicates Big Daddy’s outward appearance but also captures his menacing nature. The suit’s lights change from neutral yellow to an alarming redthat a long time ago Bioshock fans will recognize it as a sign that they’ve been spotted. The result is incredibly impressive and terrifying at the same time.
The fantasy leaves many fans amazed and wondering how scared they would be if they came face to face with the massive beast. Reddit user captjacksparrowshat notes that this would be an awesome Halloween costume that would be sure to scare every kid: “I can’t imagine seeing this walking down a dark street during Halloween trick-or-treating. The kids would be scattering.” I rolled my eyes adds that children wouldn’t be the only ones terrified by the costume approaching them in the dark, saying: “Yes, if I saw this wandering around at night, I would cross the street really fast.“
All BioShock Big Daddy Cosplay Needs for Perfection is a Little Sister
A younger sister would show off Big Daddy’s scale
Big Daddy Bioshock He was rarely seen without his companion, the adorable and helpless Little Sister. The two formed an iconic duo in Bioshock – the innocent child and his great protector. For players, Big Daddy was a powerful enemy capable of destroying them with a wave of his armbut to Little Sister he was simply her friend, “Bubbles.”
The only thing missing from Big Daddy’s incredible cosplay is a Little Sister to accompany him. Adding a Little Sister to the set would also be an awesome way to show scale and fully showcase the size and bulk of the costume. Even without the Little Sister, StalwartStud’s Big Daddy cosplay is an incredible creation and an incredible homage to the beloved original. Bioshock game.
