Additional singleplayer modes Max Payne 3 Guide

Higher difficulty levels

You can elongate your adventure with single player on two ways - Additional singleplayer modes - Other - Max Payne 3 Game Guide & Walkthrough

You can elongate your adventure with single player on two ways. First one is to complete campaign on additional difficulty levels. There are three default levels (Easy, Medium Hard). I don't recommend Easy, because it's too simple, and there are no special rewards. Completing game on Medium gives you not only an additional achievement, but also let you unlock an option of changing your look in the Arcade Mode.

The best idea is to complete the game on the Hard (it contains bonuses from Medium). It means not only another achievements to the pool, but also unlocking two difficulty levels: Hardcore and Old School. More difficult from those is Hardcore in which Max can easily die. Old School is as difficult as Hard but you can use Last Man Standing in it. To sum it up, I recommend to begin from the Hard, then choose Old School and Hardcore at the end. Remark - on all three mentioned levels aiming assistant is forbidden, so it's worth to spare few moments on adjusting analogs according to your skills.

Arcade Modes

Max Payne 3 contains two different Arcade Modes, and they are completing the singleplayer campaign in more agile way - Additional singleplayer modes - Other - Max Payne 3 Game Guide & Walkthrough

Max Payne 3 contains two different Arcade Modes, and they are completing the singleplayer campaign in more agile way. First one is Score Attack what lies in collecting points granted for encounters.

About what you should remember?

  • You can multiple point score for series hits (1st screen). Three hits set multiplier x2, six hits x6.
  • Special actions (e. g. killing in slow motion and while lying).
  • Additional points for kill you can gain by headshots, melee kill or eliminate sb thanks to the environment explosion.

What you should avoid?

  • Rush. On the contrary to New York Minute mode you don't have to hurry anywhere. It's good to prepare to every battle and equip Max properly.
  • Getting hit and using painkillers, which should be treated as a finality.
  • Counting on Last Man Standing actions (2nd screen).

The other Arcade Mode is New York Minute - Additional singleplayer modes - Other - Max Payne 3 Game Guide & Walkthrough

The other Arcade Mode is New York Minute. In this one, you begin every stage with one minute time and the only way to get additional seconds is to get to the end of mission and eliminate enemies. Initially, game let you play only in the standard type of this mode, and when you finish it, the Hardcore version is unlocked. The crucial different is fact that in Hardcore you can't use an aimer assistant.

About what you should remember?

  • Where painkillers are hidden in particular stages. Go for them only, when you're running out of supplies. Another crucial thing is to search bodies of enemies and in case of need swap guns during moving to further locations.
  • That you gain additional seconds for headshots (1st screen) and for melee kill (10 seconds instead of standard 5 - 2nd screen). Of course, melee elimination should be done when it's not too risky.

What you should avoid?

  • Staying anywhere longer. In New York Minute you have to constantly move forward and not elongate encounters.
  • Making Max dies, because in this mode it means returning to the start of the mission.
