Max Payne 3

Max Payne 3 Offical Boxart Release Date: 2012 Developer: Rockstar Studios Publisher: Rockstar Games Series: Max Payne Platforms: Xbox 360 Playstation 3 PC Genre: Third-Person Shooter

Max Payne 3 is the third game in the Max Payne third-person shooter franchise, developed by Rockstar Games and published by Take-Two interactive. Abandoning the film noir detective plotlines of previous games, it instead takes the story eight years after the events of Max Payne 2, with Max having quit the NYPD to become a private security guard for the rich and influential Branco family in São Paulo. Following a series of raids by mysterious armed thugs, Max finds himself on a rescue mission, but as ever things are more complicated than they seem.

The following weapons can be seen in the video game Max Payne 3:

Overview

Max Payne 3 dispenses with the mostly-limitless inventory of the prior games, instead allowing Max to carry two one-handed weapons and one two-handed weapon, which he will hold in his left hand if using a one-handed weapon. If he is not carrying a two-handed weapon he is able to dual-wield any combination of one-handed weapons he is carrying. Weapon reload animations are altered depending on Max's current loadout and whether or not he is in cover; awkward positioning results in longer reload times. Ammunition is for the most part divided by weapon class; for example, ammunition for the 5.56mm G36V also works in the 7.62mm FAL.

As with previous installments the game's gunplay is heavily influenced by Hong Kong action movies, with the same slow motion "bullet time" and "shootdodge" abilities, though Max will now collide heavily with objects and surfaces if he shootdodges into them rather than just brushing against them until the animation completes. While the game discards the "in the zone" mechanic of Max Payne 2 which allowed for showy slow-motion reloads, it retains the "bullet cam" showing the last enemy in a room's death, now rendered in far more grisly detail due to a new damage modelling system which shows both entry and exit wounds. As with previous games in the series, each bullet is treated as a physical projectile with defined speed rather than using hitscans.

Throughout the game, secret "gold" weapon parts can be found, each gold weapon requiring three parts. Typically the gold weapons have larger magazines, and sometimes are altered cosmetically to reflect this; occasionally a modelling glitch results in a weapon being displayed temporarily in a cutscene with the physical alterations (like Max tucking a standard PT92 into his shoulder holster and finding that it now has an extended magazine), while golden weapons do not appear as such in cutscenes but occasionally have the altered magazines, this time without the gold finish. Weapons can sometimes be found with modifications such as red dot scopes or flashlights, though in singleplayer the player has no influence over what upgrades they will have or when they will appear.

Handguns

Colt M1911A1

The Colt M1911A1 (simply referred to as the "1911") is a fairly common handgun throughout the game, appearing first in the New York flashback levels. It is incorrectly depicted as double-action only. The M1911 offers higher damage than many of the game's other pistols, but only holds 8 rounds per magazine (unless you find all the gold parts, which increases the magazine capacity to 12). Interestingly, at the beginning of Chapter 12, Max is seen pulling out an M1911A1 and attaching a makeshift suppressor, but as soon as the cutscene ends, the M1911A1 is replaced with the Taurus PT92 below.

Having collected all the parts, Max takes his single Golden 1911 for a stroll through the UFE station.

Back in the past, Max ducks behind a car to show everyone at home his pair of pimp guns.

Glock 17

Third-generation Full-auto Glock 17s are available in several levels as the "Auto 9mm", with one being the starting handgun in Chapter 11. It can be identified as a Gen 3 model by the finger grooves in the grip and accessory rail groove. The actual notch is oddly modeled, it only appears visible when looking from below the gun. The Glock comes with Glock 18C-style compensator ports on the top of the slide and a compensated barrel. Unlike the 18C however, there is no fire-select switch on the slide. Despite being modelled with the standard 17-round magazine, the Glock has a magazine capacity of 33 rounds. The Glock 17 has the same damage of that as the PT92 but offers faster rate of fire and magazine size (which when fully upgraded can have up to 42 rounds per magazine). Depending on the player's progress, the model of the gun will have an extended magazine if all golden gun parts are found. When equipped, the weapon comes with a native customization allowing the user to switch from automatic firing to semi automatic firing modes despite lacking a selector lever.

Glock 17 converted to full auto with 33 round magazine - 9x19mm Parabellum

Max clears the Branco offices with his Glock 17.

While doing so from another angle, it allows us to see the 18C compensator ports, different from the 17C.

Max waves his golden Glock at the camera, showing us the accesory cuts and the underbarrel rail cut.

Max menaces a Glock with his golden Uzi, asking it why the rail cut keeps vanishing.

...before taking a break and looking at it in the in-game weapon wheel.

IMI/Magnum Research Desert Eagle

The Desert Eagle makes a return in Max Payne 3 as the DE .50. The Desert Eagle shown in the game is a hybrid, with a Mark VII barrel with a lack of scope mounts but a Mark XIX's taller slide serrations. Despite being in almost every promotional screenshot and concept art, the pistol only appears a handful of times with extremely limited ammunition. Unusually for the game, it has its own unique ammunition supply rather than using the general reserve for pistols.

Desert Eagle Mark XIX - .50 AE

Max takes his Desert Eagle for a lovely tour of a museum built in the Panama Canal.

Before questioning it with his Golden FAL about why it mixes so many of its parts.

Gold-plated Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark VII - .44 Magnum

Of all the weapons to have a gold version, this one makes the most sense.

Smith & Wesson Model 20

The Smith & Wesson Model 20 is a common low-level handgun throughout the game, first seen in Chapter 2 in the hands of thugs on the dance floor and is Passos's weapon of choice during the first half of the first New Jersey flashback. Called the "Revolver .38", it offers higher stopping power than the PT92 but only holds 6 shells at a time. Interestingly, the cylinder does not rotate during "killcam" moments.

Smith & Wesson Model 20 - .38/44

Max uses a borrowed Model 20 on the dance floor, showing off the gun's larger size that helps ID it as the Model 20 over the Model 10.

If that wasn't enough, it even comes in a gold flavor complete with golden grips.

Max aims at a Model 20 dropped on the floor, asking it what it knows.

The Revolver .38 in the in-game weapon wheel, the screencaps are in Polish, don't ask questions.

Max chases after some gang members with his golden Model 20.

Taurus Model 608

The Taurus 608 is a relatively uncommon revolver, but found more commonly than the Desert Eagle. Referred to as the 608 Bull, it seems to confuse itself with the Raging Bull but the 8 shot cylinder confirms it as the 608. Unlike the .38 revolver, this one uses a speed-loader. When the "killcam" focuses on the .608, the cylinder can be seen rotating.

Taurus PT92AF

Standing in for Max's signature Beretta 92FS sidearm is its Brazilian cousin, the Taurus PT92AF, where it appears under the correct moniker of "PT92." The PT92 shown in the game is a modern production version with large cocking serrations and no accessory rail. The weapon can be found with a light, although it's tacked onto the frame due to the lack of a rail The light - similarly to Battlefield 3 - can blind enemies when aimed at them. The PT92 is a more common pistol in the game, second to the Glock 17 for highest handgun magazine capacity and it can be seen in several variations through the single player, such as with wooden grips in Chapter 12. When infiltrating the derelict hotel, Max fits his PT92 with an improvised suppressor made from duct tape and a water bottle. After Max discards the suppressor, the tape remains wrapped around the gun. For whatever reason, this particular Taurus holds 16 rounds, whereas every other one in the game holds an appropriate 15.

Sneaking around, Max flashes off his shiny Golden Taurus.

Having remembered he's trying to be stealthy, he switches back to his suppressed Taurus, fitted with a weaponlight.

Going for the best of both worlds, there is also a golden suppressed version.

Before ending with the improvised suppressed version.

And yes it comes in gold too.

Max glances down at a discarded PT92 and gets an idea.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5/40

The Heckler & Koch MP5/40 appears as the "MPK" in-game. The weapon has the shape of an MP5/40 with the straight mags, but the paddle magazine release is on the front of the magazine well.

Heckler & Koch MP5/40 - .40 S&W

Max takes a purloined MP5 for a spin at the abandoned hotel, you can just barely see the magazine release in front of the mag.

Back in the past, Max takes his golden MP5 on a trip around NJ's criminal underbelly.

Over in Panama, Max checks out a MP5 with a red dot sight, attachments like this appear randomly with enemies, with certain stat benefits like increased accuracy in the case of the sight.

To round the group off, the gold plated MP5 complete with a gold red dot sight.

Max menaces a dropped MP5 with his Taurus.

The MP5 in the in-game menu, note the 20 round capacity which is inaccurate. The gold version is the only one to get the capacity correct.

Having been shot in the shoulder and menaced by angry paramilitaries, Max takes his MP5 for a very angry spin.

Max interrogates a scoped MP5 with his gold Taurus.

IMI Mini/Micro UZI

A strange IMI Uzi hybrid is available throughout the game starting from the second chapter as the "Micro 9mm". It appears to be a Mini Uzi with the folding stock removed and the whole thing shrunk to the Micro Uzi size.

IMI Micro Uzi - 9x19mm Parabellum

Max takes his adorable tiny Mini Uzi for a trip to the club.

And yes, it does come in a gaudy gold version as seen here.

Max ignores his own monologue by looking down at a spilled martini and Uzi.

Having forsaken stealth, Max opts for the most unstealthy gun possible.

Ingram MAC-10

The Ingram MAC-10 appears as the "M10", commonly used by mob hitmen in the New York/New Jersey flashbacks.

MAC-10 - .45 ACP

Having angered every mob goon in New Jersey, Max grabs a stolen MAC to make his escape.

Later on, he finds the shiny gold version.

Taurus M972

The Taurus M972 is featured as the "M972". The folding stock and foregrip have been removed from the in-game weapon, to facilitate storage in Max's shoulder holsters. It's found relatively uncommon through the game, first in the favela levels.

Taurus M972 - 9x19mm Parabellum

Max walks through the favela with his shortie M972.

Not to be outdone, past Max wields its gold plated cousin.

Outrunning both local favela gangs as well as the UFE, Max opts for his shiny Taurus as his defensive weapon..

Taurus MT-40

The Taurus MT-40, a .40 caliber version of the Chilean FAMAE SAF built under license in Brazil appears as the "SAF .40" fitted with an MP5K PDW-style folding stock. It is only usable in Chapter 13, being a common weapon of the UFE paramilitary group.

Taurus MT-40 - .40 S&W

Max brings the fight to the UFE with a borrowed MT-40.

Shotguns

Benelli M4 Super 90

A Benelli M4 Super 90 is available throughout the game as the "M4 Super 90". It is shown with a 4-shot tube magazine, even for the "gold" version which has a capacity of 7 rounds.

Franchi SPAS-15

The Franchi SPAS-15 appears in the game as a high-level shotgun, first used by a mob hitman in the New York cemetery. The SPAS-15 holds less rounds and has more pellet spread than the Benelli M4, but it offers much faster reload times by holding those rounds in a detachable box magazine.

Franchi SPAS-15 - 12 gauge

Remington 870 Folding Stock

The Remington 870 Folding Stock appears in the game as the "M500" (apparently confusing it with the Mossberg 500) and holds 6 rounds. It is seen with wooden furniture, ghost ring sights,a heat shield, and an extended magazine tube. Seen mostly by the lower gang echelon enemies in the game, this shotgun provides the fastest fire rate of all the shotguns, while sacrificing its accuracy at even mid range distances.

Remington 870 Police Folder with extended magazine tube - stock extended - 12 gauge

Max wields a former gang member's "M500". Note the Remington receiver and trigger pack. The gun is filled with modeling errors, such as the folding stock being connected to the receiver instead of the pistol grip, and the heat shield being devoid of any actual holes.

Oddly, the folding stock is modeled correctly on the weapon wheel image.

But appears a lot higher on the in-game model.

Max wields the Golden Remington, really revealing the hole-less heat shield.

Not letting that stop him from attacking angry gang members, he takes cover with his shiny boomstick.

Remington 11-87

A Remington 11-87 with a pistol grip stock appears in game relatively uncommonly as the "Super Sport". It's only used by the Paramilitary group in the abandoned hotel.

Remington 11-87 - 12 gauge

Max sweeps the hotel with his 11-87.

Not to be outdone, he later finds the gold plated version.

Sawed off side by side shotgun

A Sawed off side by side shotgun appears a few times, referred to as simply the "Sawn-Off" and counted as a one-handed gun for inventory purposes. Max can, appropriately, find one in the hands of the bartender of a seedy strip club he shoots up in the Favela.

Hammerhead

The Hammerhead Shotgun was added in the Disorderly Conduct DLC and it's only available on multiplayer. It appear to be a rather odd hybrid of the Jackhammer and the Daewoo USAS-12

Rifles

AK-47

The AK-47 is available all throughout Brazil, commonly used by street thugs, although it is replaced by higher-end weapons towards the end of the game. The AK-47 is first found in the burnt out apartment building next to Max's apartment in the New York flash back levels. The AK-47 is also a starting weapon in the multiplayer mode. A modelling error means that it has the stamped receiver and straighter stock of an AKM, but the gas tube holes and lack of strengthening ribs like an AK-47.

Izhmash AK-47 - 7.62x39mm

Max takes his borrowed AK for a whirl, revealing the stamped receiver and straight AK stock.

Back in the present, sneaky Max uses a gold version to kill angry gang members. Note the lack of strengthening ribs on the receiver cover, confirming it's still a normal AK-47.

Past Max gazes on a discarded AK on the floor.

FN FAL

The FN FAL appears as "FAL" and it is commonly used by Brazilian gangsters, paramilitary units and police; given the location it is probably supposed to be the IMBEL-manufactured M964 version, though this is just a standard FAL. Though it shares ammo with the 5.56mm weapons, it has a standard 7.62 FAL magazine. This does not change on the gold version, despite the capacity increasing to 30 rounds. It is worth noting that it is partially based on the L1A1, namely the two vent hole handguard and a shortened version of the L1A1 flash hider.

Heckler & Koch G36V

The UFE paramilitary unit use the Heckler & Koch G36V which is called the "G6 Commando" in-game. The dual rows of gas vents (which should actually be a single row of serpentine vents) and low scope mount seem to indicate it is supposed to be an FX-05 Xiuhcoatl, but the ejection port placement indicates that it's juat a G36. It is also fitted with a custom stock that appears to be a combination of the standard G36 skeletal stock and a standard solid stock. The golden upgrade has a Beta C-Mag that only holds 40 rounds, and sometimes rifles will spawn with normal mags as well as the Beta C.

Heckler & Koch G36V with export optical sight - 5.56x45mm NATO

FX-05 Xiuhcoatl for comparison - 5.56x45mm NATO

Max takes a former UFE G36 for a spin in the favela, note the selector switch is set to semi-auto.

Later on in the UFE station, Max finds a golden one fitted with a Beta C mag and a laser sight.

The G36V on the ground, the layer of vent holes seem to resemble the handguards for G36's mounting the AG36 grenade launcher.

Max has a lie down after a very hectic firefight with the UFE and uses this time to check the weapon wheel.

With hordes of angry UFE members hot on his heels, Max runs with his G36V.

IMBEL MD-97 LC

The IMBEL MD-97 LC is a fairly common assault rifle, mostly used by paramilitaries and the UFE. It's incorrectly designated as the "MD-97L", which is the designation for the full-length rifle, not the carbine.

Imbel MD 97 LC - 5.56x45mm NATO

Max takes a former paramilitary MD-97 for a spin at the Branco HQ.

Not to be outdone, he later takes the gold one for a test drive at the UFE HQ.

IMI Galil ARM

The IMI Galil ARM with an unlockable red dot sight is added in the Painful Memories DLC pack. It is incorrectly depicted as firing in 3-round bursts.

IMI Galil ARM - 5.56x45mm NATO

IMI Tavor TAR-21

The IMI Tavor TAR-21 with an unlockable red dot sight and suppressor is added in the Painful Memories DLC pack.

IMI Tavor TAR-21 with flat top, Surefire Universal weaponlight, RIS foregrip, and Meprolight red dot sight (officially designated "TAR-21 Flat Top" by IMI) - 5.56x45mm NATO

Ruger Mini-30

The Ruger Mini-30 makes its video-game debut as simply the "Mini-30", and is seen with a Butler Creek folding stock. It's mostly seen in the beginning of the game, including the first chapter, with a 10 round magazine. Though partway though the helicopter sequence, in a continuity error, Max is briefly shown with a 30-round curved magazine in his Mini-30. Several snipers use them with laser sights as late as the final chapter.

Colt Model 933

An Colt Model 933 assault rifle with optional red dot sight was added in the multiplayer DLC pack Local Justice. Notably, it has the carry handle removed and no rear sight installed (even when the red dot is not being used), which would make aiming very difficult.

Sniper Rifles

Barrett M107

Snipers use Barrett M107 anti-materiel rifles to ambush a deal in the soccer stadium in Chapter 3, while the rifle only being usable in Chapter 12. It is incorrectly referred to in-game as the "M82A1". Max takes a round to the shoulder from one, but thanks to the magic of video games, Passos is able to patch him up with just some bandages and a bottle of painkillers. Max uses an M107 later in the chapter to cover Passos and the rifle is seen used by snipers several times, including by Passos himself. In keeping with Max's surprisingly quick recovery, the M107 in-game is severely underpowered, taking 2 to 3 bodyshots to kill basic enemies, and being utterly incapable of piercing kevlar vests.

Max finally takes a M107 for a spin.

If that wasn't enough, it has a gold version.

Heckler & Koch G3SG/1

A scoped Heckler & Koch G3SG/1 appears as the FMP G3S. It is the rarest gun in the game, only found in the hands of two enemies in Chapter 13 and only acquirable if you incapacitate them, making them drop the rifle.

Heckler & Koch G3SG/1 - 7.62x51mm NATO. The in-game rifle has no cheek rest.

Machine Guns

With both machine guns, the reload animations show Max mounting a new drum/belt box and pulling the charging handle, but do not have a stage showing him mounting the new belt, which is simply shown in the mounted position on the drum/belt box model itself as it is inserted.

Heckler & Koch HK21

The Heckler & Koch HK21 with the bipod is seen several times as the "LMG .30". First in the speedboat chase, it appears with a belt box and infinite ammo, while later levels have it with an RPD-style 100-round drum and limited ammunition. Several times, heavily armored enemies are encountered wielding the HK21, holding it by the stock and somehow firing it.

Launchers

DefTech 37mm Launcher

The DefTech 37mm Launcher appears as the "Rotary Grenade Launcher" with a 6-round cylinder, available in a few levels and inaccurately shooting explosive projectiles. It is most prominently given to Max in the final chase sequence with 100 rounds of ammunition. As with the grenades shown in the game, rounds from this weapon have a flashing light added to make them easier to see, and can be shot down with gunfire.

G9 Grenade Launcher

The G9 Grenade Launcher was added in the Disorderly Conduct DLC along side the Hammerhead Shotgun. It appears to be a combination of the HK69A1 and the standalone M203.

M72A2 LAW

The M72A2 LAW appears as the LAW and is used in Chapter 13 to destroy an armored UFE truck. It is correctly depicted as a single shot weapon, but an NPC gangster using one is accidentally holding an invisible RPG foregrip.

M72A2 LAW - 66mm

RPG-7

The RPG-7 appears simply as the "RPG". The weapon is used by enemies in singleplayer, but can never be picked up. For some reason, golden RPG-7 parts can be found in Chapter 12, serving absolutely no practical purpose whatsoever.
