Golden Guns/Clues

Golden Guns

Golden 1911

• The first of the Golden 1911 can be found right next to the bar’s front door in the beginning.
• The second part of the Golden 1911 is found upstairs where the shotgun thug comes in. Go up and the part is near a door.
• The last part of the 1911 can be found to the back right of the area outside of the bar. This is found once the player exits the bar through the back.

Golden M500

• The first part of the Golden M500 is found in Max’s apartment.
• The second part of the Golden M500 is found behind the door where you first enter the rooftops.
• The last part of the Golden M500 is found on the scaffolding of the first room in the unfinished building after clearing the first area.

Golden Saf 40. Cal

• The first part of the Golden Saf 40. Cal is found in the burnt room next to the stairs in the place where Brewer killed himself.
• The second part of the Golden Saf 40. Cal is found after the water tower sequence, where one must head left instead of following Passos.
• The final part of the Golden Saf 40. Cal is found in the chop shop’s office.

Clues

• Max’s NYPD badge is only found if the player explores Max’s apartment before leaving. It is found on a table near the couch.
• Newspaper Clippings and Brewer’s Journal are both found in Brewer’s apartment (the room which Brewer comes out of). Scan the walls for the clippings, and look for the journal on a table.

Strategies

Walton’s Bar

This section is fairly easy to get by, as the enemies have terrible aim in this section and can be taken down with Shootdives if they get to cover. One will show up with a shotgun in the upstairs area, so one must take him out once he appears. In the basement, one must be cautious of the door to the kitchen as a few moments into the fight, one will emerge and attempt to flank Max. Also, one can fight the thugs through the counter. After the thugs are taken care of, one can exit through the back door, but it is suggested to search the area for painkillers.

Back Alleyways

Once one leaves the bar, one can Shootdive to kill enemies, which reduces the risk of being shot too many times, but one must be quick in doing so. Once the player gets to the back alleyway, one can choose to stay in cover, which reduces their risk of being killed, or one can Shootdive to quickly dispatch the enemies. It is not recommended to attempt shooting the cars until they blow up, as if one is too close, they can be killed by the blast themselves. Passos will eventually arrive to help dispatch the remaining enemies.

Apartment Building

You start this section with only one pistol. You can pick up a second 1911 to help dual wield. Two enemies try to catch Passos while he runs to a different door. You can take advantage of this and dispatch the two before they take cover. You must be careful of the lasers in the hallways. You can utilize the corner-fire technique, where you can use their crosshairs to shoot the enemies on the rooftop the opposite of them. This would trigger a monologue for Max as well as an achievement. Afterwards, keep moving until the cutscene with Brewer begins. No enemies would be present for the rest of the area until they reached the rooftops. One can search the rooms for painkillers if they need to.

Rooftops

Enemies are not plentiful on these rooftops, and there are three in the beginning. Shootdive to avoid damage and quickly take them out. Two more would show up and they can be taken down easily. There are enemies waiting on the next rooftop. Use the corner-fire technique through a nearby fence to take out the enemies, as one cannot damage you through the fence. One that is done, vault over the brick wall into the next area and quickly shoot the propane tank under the grill, as this can kill most of the enemies that show up afterwards. Once this is done, one must continue until they reach a water tower. Once the DeMarcos shoot the tower, one must quickly shoot all of the enemies before Max jumps from the falling tower or you will end up Dead. Once this is done, Passos will find you and you will move on.

Trivia

• Despite the quote being in the chapter itself, it has a minor difference with "anybody" is used instead of "anyone".
• The music played at Walton's Bar is Bright Lights - Gary Clark.
• The chassis of a Cognoscenti, a luxury vehicle from Grand Theft Auto IV, appears as one of the vehicles within the mafia-run garage.
• There are some similarities (not exactly but the idea only) between the level No 'Us' In This of Max Payne 2 and this level. The first part is at checkpoint 7 (after Passos leaves Max's apartment) Passos runs towards the door in front of him and the door is locked from behind. Same thing happened in Max Payne 2, with the exception of the enemies because he closed the door before they appear while in Max Payne 2 Mona killed the Cleaners before Max leaves his apartment, The second part is that one of DeMarco's goons was going to kill Max, but Brewer opens the door and instantly shoots him before killing Max. Similar to what happened to the old lady when Max walks next to her apartment.
• If Max doesn't kill all the hitmen during the watertower bullet time event, a cutscene will play where one of the surviving enemies will walk up to Max and execute him.
• If Max hesitates to shoot Tony in the very beginning of the chapter, the latter will shoot Max dead, along with Passos and retreat from the bar.
• Chronologically, this is the earliest chapter of the game despite being the fourth the player will unlock.
• This is the first chapter to include non-explosive environmental kills, that the player can accomplish via disabling a car lift while an enemy is underneath it.
• Max refers to "the Pulaski" when he notices an aircraft above preparing to land at Newark Airport. He is referring to the Pulaski Skyway, which links Newark to New York City via the Holland Tunnel. Oddly enough, Max is facing north when he sees the aircraft flying from behind him, which is incorrect as Newark Airport is south of Hoboken.
