- "Some bullets you ain't never getting up from."
- ―Max Payne, narrating
Deadly Force is a Max Payne 3 multiplayer burst. Its main function is to make the bullets of the player's guns do more damage, thus increasing the stopping power of weapons.
The best time to utilize Deadly Force is when you come upon groups of opponents clumped together, like in hallways or small rooms. Wait until you begin your attack to activate the Burst, since its duration does not last long. Weapons with relatively low damage per shot, like pistols, submachine guns and assault rifles benefit the most from Deadly Force, while shotguns, revolvers and sniper rifles synergize less due to their already high damage.
Counter[]
Deadly Force can be rendered less effective if the player uses Big Dog to add more health to their character, or even by simply avoiding a Deadly Force user for the remainder of the Burst.
