Chapter IX - p. 1 Max Payne 3 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Initially you won't run into anyone so follow the path. After using the first stairs look for the painkillers. Stop when you reach the inside of the building. Examine the body (screen above) what unlocks the first clue [Clue 1/3 - Dead Gang Members].
Pick up another painkillers and exit the building. Go downstairs but before you move one, turn left and search the area under the stairs. It let you find G6 Commando Rifle shown on screen. Now you can go to the next location.
Jump down and head to the main street of the quarter where people are fighting. When you get close to this street the cut scene launches.
Wait until you regain control and move forward. It's better to not attack the enemies behind the wire because you can got hurt and gain nothing in return. Just wait until they go away.
Remark! During this chapter you'll meet mostly armored enemies. It's essentially to aim at their heads because otherwise even empting the whole magazine may not eliminate a single opponent.
Continue the march in the narrow lanes, looking after dead thugs from which you can take ammo and guns. There'll be a cut scene on the way and the first serious encounter in this chapter begins a moment after you reach the door shown on the screen above.
Begin from the jump at the enemy who's rushing into you. Try also eliminate his fellow, who should stand somewhere by the stairs. At the end finish off the thug on the balcony, on the right. In this case you can use covers.
Go on the lower level and prepare for the arrival of two enemies and use the bullet time. After that search their bodies especially if you omitted my hint and didn't pick up the rifle. Additionally it's worth to pick up the M972 SMG because it won't replace the main weapon.
Before you move on, search the left building, there were one of the eliminated thugs on the floor. In the place shown on the screen above, you'll find the first fragment of a weapon [Golden Gun -DE .50 Pistol 1/3]. Now you can choose the lane between buildings.
Be careful when you reach the place where the path turns left. There are two new guardians nearby. You can wait until they run at you or fire behind the cover.
Resume the slums exploration but stop after making several steps and search the body on the right, what gives you another clue [Clue 2/3 - Dead UFE Member]. You can move on.
Stop when you reach the apartment in which you meet the harmless women. Enter the first room on the right (screen) which is a toilet. You will find here painkillers and a piece of a gun [Golden Gun - M972 SMG 1/3] lying on the floor. Turn on the TV and leave the apartment.
Ignore the helicopters and the mercenaries seen away and head to the stairs. After getting to the room on the lower floor hide by the shutters, because you'll come under fire. Carefully eliminate enemies without too much risk.
After eliminating all of enemy's units jump through the destroyed shutter and go right. Watch out on the single enemy who will suddenly appear in front of you (screen).
