This walkthrough should help anyone finish the 2001 third person shooter Max Payne. It was written based on The Fugitive Difficulty level in the PC version, but will discuss all weapons and levels with tips and tricks on how to survive all versions of the game. You cannot play on a higher difficulty level until you beat the prior level.

1. Lead Pipe: Used to smash crates for painkillers and ammo, but it is just as easy to shoot them.
2. Baseball Bat: Picked up from Niagara, it will be used just once in a combat situation. The remainder of the time it can be used to smash crates.
3. Beretta: Basic, all-around service pistol. Be sure to keep sufficient ammo on hand. You will most likely make more use of the dual Berettas.
4. Dual Berettas: A great option for early gameplay, the dual Berettas have a terrific firing rate and make headshots relatively easy. Use for all situations with more than three enemies. It's easy to go through all of the rounds quickly, so keep an eye on your ammo level.
5. Desert Eagle: Decent pistol for gameplay in the early chapters. A bit better for penetration, but stick with the Beretta when you can. It is easy to obtain ammo off of enemies for this weapon and the most popular weapon in the beginning chapters of the game.
6. Pump-Action Shotgun: A standard shotgun with seven shell capability. Remember to reload after each use. Very slow rate of fire. Shares ammo with the sawed-off shotgun.
7. Sawed-Off Shotgun: More powerful than the double-barreled shotgun and faster than the pump-action shotgun, this weapon is sawed off for better spread and is devastating at close range. Perfect bullet time weapon for encounters with one or two enemies but with only two shells is not the preferred weapon for an intense firefight.
8. Jackhammer: This is provided towards the very end of the game and is a great automatic shotgun, particularly deadly in bullet time. Very high rate of fire, meaning that you will be out of ammo quicker.
9. Ingram: The Ingram Mac-10 is incredibly powerful, but very inaccurate. As many rounds as are sprayed, accuracy will not matter. Ammo will be depleted quickly. You will likely find the Dual Ingram for big firefights.
10. Dual Ingrams: This weapon is a waste of ammunition unless it is really needed. Primarily save these for boss fights and other big firefights. None of the game bosses can withstand a full clip from an Ingram. Each shot will also make them recoil. This means you can charge the boss and kill them without being killed in return.
11. Colt Commando: With a thirty round clip, this is simply amazing and the best weapon in the game. You will receive it about one third of the way through the game at the end of An Offer You Can't Refuse. A few shots to the torso will kill any character. Headshots are very easy with it, too. Be sure to conserve ammo until the second half of the game. After that, you'll be able to find the ammo everywhere.
12. Molotov Cocktail: These big bottles give off a huge fireball when they hit, however they are difficult to find. It is difficult to aim them accurately and the area of effect is not impressive, making them effectively worthless. They are hard to use without setting yourself on fire in the process.
13. Grenade: Grenades are thrown in the PC version by depressing the left mouse button. They have limited usefulness as the time it takes to throw the grenade is usually enough time to be shot by the intended target.
14. M79: The M79 is a limited grenade launcher with the capability of firing ten grenades. Rate of fire is quite good, but it is really an unnecessary weapon.
15. Sniper Rifle: This standard sniper rifle holds up to twenty bullets and is very deadly in bullet time. You can fire four rounds without reloading. Accurate shots will usually switch to a bullet view.

1. Max Payne isn't a super solider, so do what you can to avoid being shot as his health fails quickly, e.g., a full shotgun blast decreases half of his health.

2. Use cover and bullet time to avoid being shot.

3. The health bar is in the form of a model of Max.

4. The figure fills with red when he is hurt.

5. If it reaches above his neck, Max will begin limping.

6. His health will slowly recover back to shoulder level if he rests for a moment.

7. The only other way to heal is to take some painkillers.

8. Tip: Only eight bottles of painkillers can be held at a time, so keep an eye out for medicine cabinets to stock up.

1. The big draw of Max Payne is the copious bullet time.
2. Slowing time is allowed through the hourglass of energy next to the health figure.
3. It refills very slowly with time.
4. Shooting enemies fills it faster.
5. Headshots usually mean more energy.
6. Two methods of slowing time are Shootdodge and Bullet Time.
   • Shootdodge
   1. The Shootdodge technique is mapped to the Shift key by default in the PC version.
   2. Max will roll or leap in a direction and be in bullet time until he hits the ground.
   3. His actual movements are not accelerated. Only his reflexes.
   4. This means you can aim and shoot faster and with more accuracy. Reloading is not usually an option.
   5. Shootdodge is, not surprisingly, a great way to dodge gunfire and grenades and is used in many battles.
   6. Tip: The best method is to shootdodge around corners to outdraw guards waiting to ambush you.
   • Bullet Time
   1. Bullet Time refers to slowing time without jumping.
   2. Note: Bullet Time is not mapped by default. Go into the controls and map it to the right mouse button in the PC version.
   3. There are only a few times when it really helps.
      1. Strafe enemies and not jump past them.
      2. A good way to pick off long range targets without being hit much.
      3. Sniping in bullet time is particularly deadly.

1. The game is told through pages in a graphic novel.

2. More pages are added to it by hitting E when Max is near something important. This is indicated by the ! above his head.

1. Don't forget about shootdodge and bullet time. It is the best way to stay alive and out-shoot your enemies.

2. Don't forget to take painkillers. There isn't much use to hold onto them. Try to keep your health above 80%.

3. Press F5 to quicksave often.

4. Save a bit of ammo in your best guns for the big bosses.

5. Check shelves and racks for possible ammo locations.

1. Walk forward.
2. Look at the graffiti on the wall and press E to make note of it and get a panel.
