Max Payne 3 - Chapter 3

Ouch! Ok, so hurry into the stadium before you get shot. Inside, follow Passos around for a little bit until you can patch up your arm. Once you do, you'll be given a gun and you'll ambush a group of three enemies. If you can get one of them, you might be able to hit Bullet Time and get a second before it runs out. With two enemies down, another group of enemies will burst through the door to the right and attack. Use the large barriers in here to move around so you can surprise your enemies with your attack angle. Once you've cleaned them out, check the medical room for some Painkillers and the next room over will have a Picture of Victor Branco on the wall for a clue. Now follow Passos towards the elevator.

 

Before you get on the elevator, you'll see a door just down a hall to the left of the elevator. Inspect the Blood Stained Door for a clue. Take the elevator and when you get off, you'll find a wounded enemy. Passos will question him but it won't be particularly helpful. If you walk a little ways past them (or cap the wounded guy - it's safer but do you really want to be that guy?), you'll be ambushed by some enemies coming through a door to the right of the stage. Try to kill some as they come in before they can take up a position on the stage. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that you'll get them all and you'll have to do a Shoot Dodge at the top of the stairs to take the last enemies out. Once they are dead, check the camera room connected to this room to find part of the Golden M10 on the floor. Leave this room for the hallway. As you approach the door, one more enemy may appear.


When you regain control of Max, you'll have a group of three tougher enemies to contend with. First of all, these guys have heavier weapons that shoot faster and do more damage (arguably more accurate too). Secondly, they pack some intense armor. Shooting them in the chest is almost a lost cause and will soak up tons of ammo. Obviously a headshot is optimal and will probably save you a dozen rounds or more. If you can't hit the head, it's actually better go for limbs or rear instead of torso. Make sure you watch for the one guard coming up the left side. Take him out (nice Shoot Dodge over the railing) and then take out the other two by going for their knees. Once they are dead, turn around and go back the way you came in and towards the back right will be a low shelf with part of the Golden M82A1. Follow after the money.

 

Passos will head out into the stadium dodging sniper fire. Just be sure to keep moving so you don't get hit and follow your friend. You'll quickly end up back inside at a concession area. There is a group of enemies around the corner to the left but take your time. At the corner before entering the room, kill the two enemies on the right walkway and then proceed into the room. Take some cover and take out the last three enemies here. Be careful to get the two enemies on the upper walkway first because you don't want to have to pick them off in Last Man Standing. Make sure you check along the right wall in this room. Along the wall will be a medicine cabinet with painkillers and on one of the pillars along the wall will be a blood stain to investigate.

 

Make your way to the Sniper's position. Along the way, you should encounter a single enemy and then when you reach the booth, you should find two more. After you've killed them, Passos will pick up the rifle and give you cover as you make your way across the bleachers. Make your way along the bleachers and when the four enemies appear, use a Bullet Time or Shoot Dodge to hopefully take out all four very quickly since they line up for you. If you go down the stairs in the bleachers to the bottom, you can find a piece of the Golden M10 just next to the gate leading backwards

 

Move to the next bleacher section but be careful, this part is tough. Take cover behind the railing by where the stairs lead down. This should provide you some cover from your current level and from below however, the enemies from below will be throwing grenades at you so take them out first. Pick off the two enemies below and then turn your attention to the enemies on this level. You may have a few of them preparing to rush you at this point. Kill any that you can here and wait to see if any more enemies appear below. If you haven't gotten many more kills except for the two below, start moving forward and you'll get some enemies to poke out from behind columns. Kill the one on the left (he's easier) and then Shoot Dodge around the right column for the second gunman. Quickly get behind cover, kill the two more enemies below but watch from behind you and particularly the stairs leading up into the stadium ahead of you. As you get to the stairs, you may want to Shoot Dodge to take out any enemies left on the stairs and then climb up the stairs into the stadium.

 

There are pain killers in a cabinet in this room so make sure to grab them since you're likely to need them. When you've collected weapons, ammo, and pain killers, head through the double doors on the right. You really need to take it slow here because there are enemies tucked in everywhere. If you rush in, you'll end up surrounded quickly. Take out a few enemies from your starting position and slowly work your way through the area. Move up, one piece of cover at a time. When you get the chance, go left and you'll come across a few rows of seats. On one of the seats is the final part of the Golden M10. This position will also give you a good angle on your enemies. Once you get to the end with the memorial, immediately turn right and take out the man who just entered through the doors. Before leaving, investigate the Soccer Star Memorial for a clue. Go through these doors to get back out to the stadium proper by using the elevator.


Advanced Gunplay

When you get back to the bleachers, you can Shoot Dodge down the steps in front of you for a whole lot of easy kills. This is less systematic and safe but it only requires a moderate amount of skill to make it far more advantageous.

 

 

Outside, you'll be in the bleachers again with even more enemies. Most of the enemies are on the lower level this time. This gives you a decent advantage but the two on the far right will quickly start climbing the stairs while the two just beneath you will start throwing grenades. Take cover behind the barriers to your left. This will get you to avoid the first grenade and give you better cover if the two from the right make it up the stairs before you are ready. Kill the two immediately below you and then focus on the other two. Once they are dead, another Sniper will appear. Before heading for the Sniper, make sure you head to the bottom level of the bleachers and head left. Around the corner, tucking back into the stadium will be a doorway. Next to it on the floor will be part of the Golden M82A1.

 

Move along this level and you should see an opening that will lead into the stadium. Go in and then you will come out under the Sniper's tower. You'll find one enemy at the base of the stairs and then the Sniper will come out and be at the top of the stairs to the tower. Kill him too.

 

You'll now have a Sniper Rifle. There is an achievement for protecting Passos with perfect aim. If you hit every shot, you'll get the achievement. Make use of your Bullet Time early to get a feel for how far ahead to lead. I'm not sure that you have to lead but it seemed like it to me.

 

Passos will run down the stairs to the bottom of the bleachers. Three men will come out of the booth he was in and follow him directly down the stairs. Kill the three of them and then Passos will move to the base of the next stairs. One enemy will move down this next set of stairs. Passos will move again. One enemy will come down this third flight of stairs while another enemy will come down the previous set. Once they are both dead, a third enemy will come down the stairs on the other side of the barrier that splits the third set of stairs.

 

In the next area, Passos will take cover behind barriers at the top of a flight of stairs. He'll take cover on the left side as three enemies attack him from the left. They'll be nice, big targets after the last few. Take them out and then focus just to the right of Passos as another enemy appears. Head back across Passos and fifth enemy will attack from the left. Lastly, an enemy will come straight up his stairs at him. Passos will move to the end and go up the stairs that you used to enter the stadium. You'll see his hands fly up and then an enemy will come down the stairs at him. He'll be an easy shot since he's not moving, just wait for him to come out enough.


*Achievement: The One Eyed Man is King


You'll come out underneath this last Sniper. You'll see a single enemy walking across the top of the bleachers. Kill him and then walk up the stairs. After you take a few steps, activate Bullet Time because there is an enemy at the top of these stairs. Kill him too. Get to the top of the bleachers but don't go through the door. If you follow the walkway at the top of the bleachers all the way to the right, you'll find the last part of the Golden M82A1.

 

Now go back along the top of the bleachers and round the corner. Depending on how quickly you did this, you may find two or three enemies in this hallway. If there are only two, kill them and then Shoot Dodge around the corner to the left to take out the last one. Climb the ladder and at the top, you'll have to make quick work of three enemies on the catwalk. The first one will be in the middle of the bridge, one will be just to the right of the tower and the last will be behind or just to the left of the tower.

 

Climb the final ladder and you'll come to a very large catwalk behind some stadium lights. There will be one enemy on the long part of the catwalk and then two more in a little overhang just to the right. Take them out and then go to where the two soldiers were and vault the railing. You'll come crashing through a window and enter Bullet Time. Take out the only enemy in the room to finish the chapter.
