If you feel that best weapon option does not suit your playing style deselect this from the game options menu.įor each weapon there is a specific amount of ammo that Max can carry. You may choose different weapons to spare certain ammo or to use more accurate weapons if taking shots from a distance. The best weapon selection does not take into account the particular situation. It selects the generally most lethal weapon at your disposal. I have enabled the "select best weapon" from the game options menu -will this work best in all areas? Some areas of enemies are more vulnerable than others- use this to your advantage. Also shooting at enemies' critical areas will cause more damage than shooting his feet. Some enemy types have body armor covering their torsos. All enemies are not alike -some more prominent enemies may be tougher to beat. Within the game Max will encounter enemies with different levels of training, stamina and behaviors. Your selection of weapon for an encounter is an important choice. Remember the accuracy of weapons at a distance may vary greatly. Some offer a better rate of fire and more damage. I shot several shots at this enemy but he would not go down. If Max falls from a high location, he will be injured and if the drop is high enough he may die. Walls and other obstacles will provide cover for Max. Max Payne will also suffer pain if he is in the proximity of explosions, etc. Max will take damage and die if he encounters real world hazards, e.g. Other than the thugs out to get me, should I watch out for anything else? They may reveal important information or provide weapons and painkillers.
Talk to any characters encountered along the way. When a character offers to fight alongside Max Payne, take them up on the offer! Don't run ahead of them - watch their actions and use them to your advantage. Is everyone out to get me -should I just blaze away? Max Payne 2 can be very difficult without using these.

Most importantly, make full use Shootdodging and Bullet Time. Use Bullet Time while sniping to help improve aim. This is a good way of avoiding damage in hectic gunfights. In Bullet Time, pay very close attention and dodge bullets as they fly by. When in Bullet Time, the deeper the shade of yellow, the more edge over the enemies Max has. If it is activated, Max goes even deeper into "the zone." Enemies are slower, but Max's movements and speed remain the same. Take multiple enemies out quickly and the hourglass will turn different shades of yellow. Bullet Time will also regenerate slowly during gameplay.
For every enemy Max takes out, he will gain a little more Bullet Time. Once activated, toggle Bullet Time on and off by pressing the Bullet Time Key again. When Bullet Time is activated, game play slows but Max can still aim weapons in real-time.īullet Time is a limited resource and drains over time as indicated by the hourglass in the lower left hand side of the screen.
