Chapter X - p. 1 Max Payne 3 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
This chapter you begin inside the bus. Don't count that enemies who showed up on the square will leave it soon. What is more, if you delay too long, one of them will spot Max. So it's best to attack first.
Remark! During this chapter you can't shoot accidentally Giovanna or let any of enemies to do so because it means a failure. Luckily, besides few situations (like this with snipers, which is described below) enemies will be interested in the main character.
When the main battle begins, watch out on single enemies who will appear in the left bus (screen above). But opponents won't use grenades, so you can, if you want, stay in the bus all the time.
After the cut scene run forward and try to eliminate ASAP two snipers on the roof of the right building. Luckily, you don't have to search for the new weapons, because the pistol is enough to do that.
Remark! It's important to eliminate snipers within few seconds, otherwise they'll kill Giovanna.
After the encounter stay for a while in the starting location. Pick up ammo and weapons and search one of the buses' wreck on the right. You will find fragment of a gun [Golden Gun - FAL Rifle 1/3].
You can choose the left path between the buses. Join the Giovanna to enter the next area.
Begin the new encounter from eliminating another sniper standing on the roof of the right building (screen).
You can act on two ways. If you choose lot of bullet time jumps, use the left part of the square. In danger, use the parapets as covers. It's worth also to fire at the gasoline station, of course when there will be enemies nearby.
If you prefer using the safe covers, I recommend to not choose those parapets, because enemies use grenades very eagerly. Instead of that, it's much better to run to the bus parked on the right from the gasoline station and use the vehicle as a cover. Remember to observe the station and go away in case of explosion.
After the encounter run to the closed gate and check the small lodge on the left. Inside you'll find painkillers and the first clue [Clue 1/2 - Office Newspaper].
Pick up ammo and return to Giovanna, who should hide behind the container nearby the beginning location (screen above). Now the game displays long cut scene.
Be ready to begin fire and try to eliminate as many enemies as possible before Max touches the ground. You can get rid of opponents in the first row easily, if you aim at the tank fuel of the fork-lift truck. After landing kill the remaining thugs.
Pick up ammo and guns (remember that in the previous scene you've lost your main gun) and search for a small room (screen) where you find a fragment of weapon [Golden Gun -M4 Super 90 Shotgun 1/3].
