I N T R O D U C T I O N *************************** I really, really wanted to write a Complete FAQ/Walkthrough for Max Payne, and I had even started it. But as there were a lot of other guides already out, my chances of getting it posted were slim. So I began including a lot of details in the walkthrough, and as the game is already so big, the guide became even bigger, and so, I gave up writing. Then I realized that all the information that I had written up for the weapons could well be made into a weapons guide. So that's how this guide came into existence. My aim is of course to somehow get my name associated with Max Payne, which IMHO is the greatest game ever. Now, I must warn all you people that I am no expert on weapons. So, I would not be able to tell you about the real life name, history, model etc. of the weapons. I would just be giving you some plain info about the weapons as they appear in the game, and what I think about them. I must warn you again, that this FAQ contains some horrible ASCII by me. Don't read further if you think your eyes might melt. Also, please send in any info you think should be here, so that this guide gets better. ============================================================================== ****************** II. W E A P O N S ****************** Max Payne carries a wide variety of weapons under his coat (I wonder how it all fills in there). His weapon arsenal consists mainly of different types of guns. The maximum ammo that he can carry for each weapon is limited. The efficiency of each weapon increases many times if used at the right place. Also, shoot the enemies in the head, it always does way more damage. The weapons in Max Payne can be divided into the following six categories. I will describe each weapon in the following format: ASCII Representation: A pathetic try to draw the weapon. Clip capacity : The ammo in clip used in with weapon. Max ammo : The maximum total ammo that can be carried at a time. Ammo type : The type of ammo used in the weapon. Range : The preferred range of use (its a matter of opinion) RoF : The rate of fire (slow/moderate/fast/very fast) Shoot dodge : The availability of shoot dodge. Description: The appearance of the weapon. Use: The way the weapon is meant to be used. Found: Where the weapon is found (usually just the first appearance) Notes: Anything special I want to say. Reader's notes: Anything you send to me. ============================================================================== ******************************* III. M E L E E W E A P O N S ******************************* These are to be used up close to the enemy, but in this game, you won't find many places where you will be able to sneak up on an enemy. These are powerful weapons nonetheless, and can take out the enemy in a single hit. They are best used to break open small crates and boxes, which may hold ammo or other stuff. Your enemies will not commonly use these, with the exception of a single thug in Part 1, Chapter 7. These weapons are equipped by pressing 1. ------------ 1. Lead Pipe ------------ ASCII Representation: @@@ @@@ @@@ @@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Clip capacity : N/A Max ammo : N/A Ammo type : N/A Range : Very short RoF : moderate Shoot dodge : No Description: This is a piece of metal, which Max can swing to kill his enemies or to break open small boxes of ammo. Use: It can only be used to kill someone by being very close to him, and to do that, they should not be aware of your presence. Found: You automatically have one in Part 1, Chapter 1. Notes: It is weaker than the Baseball bat, and so I use it only when I don't have the later. --------------- 2. Baseball bat --------------- ASCII Representation: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Clip capacity : N/A Max ammo : N/A Ammo type : N/A Range : very short Rof : moderate Shoot dodge : No Description: Its made up of wood, its cylindrical, and the dia of the handle is less than the dia of the body. Use: It can be used to play the American sport of Baseball, apart from knocking bad guys in the head. Max swings the bat twice when used, and is enough to take down any enemy, excluding the bosses of course. Found: You can get it in Part 1, Prologue, and then again in Part 2, Chapter 1. Notes: I prefer it over the Lead pipe, because it seems to do more damage. ============================================================================== ******************** IV. H A N D G U N S ******************** These includes various types of handguns, and are effective over short, medium and long ranges, thus making them an all purpose weapon. Their ammo is easily available and these guns would be available to you right from the beginning of the game. Later on, when the enemies become tougher to kill, you would like to use other bigger, better guns, but you can always trust the handguns when the ammo for other guns is scarce. ------- Beretta ------- ASCII Representation: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ Clip capacity : 18 Max ammo : 162 Ammo type : Beretta ammo Range : short-medium-long Rof : fast Shoot dodge : Yes Description: It's a 9 mm handgun which is black in colour. Use: It does the least damage among all the guns. But what it lacks in power, it makes up in terms of accuracy. It's very accurate and useful in all ranges, and the ammo is available in plenty. Found: You have it from the start. Max draws it out first in Part 1, Prologue and then again in Part 1, Chapter 1. Notes: You won't be using this much, not because its not good, but because twice of this goodness is available (see below). ------------ Dual Beretta ------------ ASCII Representation: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ @@@@@@@@@ @ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ Clip capacity : 36 Max ammo : 162 Ammo type : Beretta ammo Range : short-medium-long Rof : very fast Shoot dodge : Yes Description: You carry two of the Beretta's, one in each hand. Use: Apart from all the advantages of the Beretta, the dual Beretta also has what is called suppression fire (I am not being very original here). What it means is that you can hit a larger number of enemies and also continuously hit them without, giving them any chance to shoot you, until they are dead. Found: In Chapter 1, Prologue you can pick up another Beretta from a junkie you killed to get the dual Beretta's. Notes: This weapon rules. It's very effective and the bullets are easily available, not to mention that Max looks ultra cool while firing them. ------------ Desert Eagle ------------ ASCII Representation: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Clip capacity : 12 Max ammo : 48 Ammo type : Desert eagle ammo Range : short-medium-long RoF : fast Shoot dodge : Yes Description: The Desert Eagle, looks like the Beretta, but is silver in colour. Use: The most powerful and accurate handgun, it sends the victim flying backwards. Too bad the ammo is not easily available and also the Max ammo carrying capacity is also too little. It is very accurate even at long ranges Found: Part 1, Chapter 1. Kill the two thugs at the beginning and they will drop it. Notes: This would have been my most used weapon, had it not been for the scarcity of ammo. ============================================================================== ******************* V. S H O T G U N S ******************* The shotguns are usually my favorite weapon in all the games. They represent power and are really fun to use. But in this game, they are not my favorite weapon. You can read below to find out why. Note that the shells which these shotguns use spread in the air, so they should not at all be used at long ranges, it would be a wastage of ammo. ----------------- Sawed-off shotgun ----------------- ASCII Representation: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@ @@@@@@ @@@@@@ Clip capacity : 2 Max ammo : 80 Ammo type : Shotgun ammo Range : short-medium RoF : moderate Shoot dodge : Yes Description: It's a small shotgun and is pretty close to a handgun itself. Max uses it with one hand, just like the handguns. Use: It can only hold 2 shells at a time, which means you will have to reload after 2 shots. Now this could be very dangerous if you are facing more than one enemy, which is mostly the case. Found: Part 1, Chapter 1. Can't remember the exact location though. Notes: As the Pump-action and Sawed-off share ammo, I think its wiser to use the former. Although, against single enemy, you should go for Sawed-off. ------------------- Pump-action shotgun ------------------- ASCII Representation: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@ @@@@@ @@ Clip capacity : 7 Max ammo : 80 Ammo type : Shotgun ammo Range : short-medium Rof : slow Shoot dodge : Yes Description: Now this is the shotgun most of us know. It's long and double barreled. Use: Very nice gun, pretty powerful. Although it can hold 7 shells, Max still needs some time between two shots. This is not much of a problem otherwise, but it surely is not an ideal weapon to use while shootdodging, as you would only be able to shoot once or twice. Found: Part 1, Prologue in the closet in the room with the phone. Again in Part 1, Chapter 1, you find it on many enemies. Notes: My most used shotgun, because you get the Jackhammer late in the game. ---------- Jackhammer ---------- ASCII Representation: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@ @@@ @@@ @@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@ @@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@ @@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@ @@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Clip capacity : 12 Max ammo : 168 Ammo type : Jackhammer ammo Range : short-medium RoF : fast Shoot dodge : Yes Description: Does not looks like your usual shotguns, but the design is still impressive. Use: The best shotgun, as you get to fire 12 shots non-stop. Especially good against the bosses, they won't even be able to react as you fill them with lead. The downside is that you get it late in the game and also the ammo is not really plentiful. Save it for the time you really need it. Found: You first get the Jackhammer in Part III, Chapter Four: Backstabbing Bastard, from the guy that comes towards you after he gets out of the crashed sports car that B.B. was in before, which is also on the same floor that B.B. is on when you have to kill him. (thanks to "Cybiolink8000 ..." for this info) Notes: My favorite shotgun. ============================================================================== ************************ VI. A U T O M A T I C S ************************ These contains two guns, Ingram and colt commando. Both are great guns, but you don't get much of them in Part 1 and 2. Good thing that so does your enemies. In Part 3, you will find the Colt being used by most of the enemies. I don't really know why they are called automatics. If someone knows, I would be glad if you tell me. Many people answered this. Choose the one you like best ^_^. "NeoSquid2" They're automatic becuase they automatically load the bullet into the chamber. (allowing you to hold down the trigger.) Manual would be cocking the hammer back. Semiautomatic is when you pressing the trigger puts the next bullet into position. (fires faster than manual, but you can't hold down the trigger.) "Chad Nash" It's because they fire automatically the moment you pul the trigger instead of having to repeatedly pull the trigger you pull and hold and it "automatically" fires the weapon. "Stephen Rintoul" An automatic weapon's trigger does not need to be repeatedly pressed for multiple shots, making them shoot faster. This is only consequential to players of Max Payne in that the automatic weapons have a higher rate of fire. Max's fingers don't have to repeatedly pull the trigger for every individual bullet that is fired. "Will Russell" Weapons like the Colt and Ingram work with mechanical firing mechanisms that fire continuously when the trigger is pressed down: they fire automatically. Hence the title "automatics." The difference from Semi-Automatic weapons is that the trigger must be pressed for a bullet or burst of bullets to be released. "Ray" The term "Automatic" has meant different things for firearms through-outthe years. The first incarnation I can find for it is to describe themechanism for what was later called "Double-Action" Revolvers (That isRevolvers that did not require the hammer to be cocked before pulling thetrigger to shoot, it was "Automatically" cocked by pulling the trigger.).The next time it was paraded around, was for "Automatic Loading" weapons,what are now called "Semi- Automatic", the primitive predecesors of theBeretta and Desert Eagle in Max Payne (Which included everyone's favoriteGerman Pistol, the Luger P'08!!!.). After the development of the MachineGun (And, later, Sub-Machine Gun, Machine Pistol, and Assult Rifle), theterm "Automatic" now is meant as the short form of "Fully Automatic", whichmeans that, as long as the shooter has his finger holding down the trigger,the weapon will fire until he runs out of ammo, or until he releases it. In addition, the Pancor Jackhammer is classed as a "CAWS" (Close AssultWeapons System, a Fully-Automatic Shotgun in other words), the Ingram's are"Sub-Machine Guns" (Or SMGs, which are Fully-Automatic Weapons that firePistol Cartridges), and the Colt Commando is an "Assult Rifle" (Well,actually, an "Assult Carbine" due to it's barrel length, but close enough.). ------ Ingram ------ ASCII Representation: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ Clip capacity : 50 Max ammo : 300 Ammo type : Ingram ammo Range : short Rof : fast Shoot dodge : Yes Description: It's the same as the Uzi (made famous by a British Pyramid roaming, Tomb raiding female video game character). Use: The suppression fire effect, explained under the dual Beretta's is at work in this gun too. It is very inaccurate over long ranges and you would be wasting your precious ammo if you use it that way. Found: You find the ingram first after the barfight as you kill Rico Muerte, Chapter 4 part 2 to be exact. (thanks to "Mo Niehaus" for this info) Notes: Why would you use one when you can use two? ----------- Dual Ingram ----------- ASCII Representation: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ @@@@@@@@@ @ @@@@@@@@@ @ @@@@@@@@@ @ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@ Clip capacity : 100 Max ammo : 300 Ammo type : Ingram ammo Range : short RoF : very fast Shoot dodge : Yes Description: Just like the dual Beretta's, Max carries one Ingram in each hand. Use: Suppression fire at its peak. It fires a really large number of bullets in a short period of time. But this also means you could be out of ammo soon, so reload often. The only reason not to use it over the Ingram is that it seems the Ingram has slightly better accuracy then the dual Ingram's. Found: After you pick up another Ingram, you would be able to select the dual Ingram. Notes: I love this weapon very much. ------------- Colt Commando ------------- ASCII Representation: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@ @@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@ @@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@ Clip capacity : 30 Max ammo : 150 Ammo type : Colt Commando ammo Range : short-medium-long Rof : fast Shoot dodge : Yes Description: It is the equivalent of guns like M16 etc. Looks great. Use: All the positive things of the Desert Eagle, but with a better RoF and higher clip capacity, this gun is truly a gift from God. Very accurate and well suited for long ranges. Aim for the head. Found: Part 2, Chapter 3. You get it after you have killed Boris Dime. Notes: My favorite weapon of the game. ============================================================================== ***************************************** VII. T H R O W A B L E W E A P O N S ***************************************** The Molotov and the grenade are the two throw able weapons of the game, and they are best suited to take out either enemies not directly in your line of fire or those which are grouped together. You don't really throw the M79, but you do use it to throw a grenade. All these weapons are not to be used close to you, or you will be hurt. ------- Molotov ------- ASCII Representation: @@@@@@@ @@@@@@@ @@@ @@ @@@@@ @@@@@ @@@@@ @@@@@ @@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@ Clip capacity : 1 Max ammo : 10 Ammo Type : N/A Range : far away from you Rof : N/A Shoot dodge : No Description: Its a dark, glass bottle with a cloth coming out from the top. Use: Max throws the bottle, which explodes when it comes in contact with anything, and the fire spreads. Good for taking out enemies in a group and in closed areas. Of course, its a projectile, so use it carefully, it might collide with something close to you and explode. Found: Err, can't remember. I would write it the next time I play the game, or if someone sends it to me. Notes: Toasty! ------- Grenade ------- ASCII Representation: @@@@ @@@@ @@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@ @@@@@@ Clip capacity : 1 Max ammo : 10 Ammo Type : N/A Range : far away from you Rof : N/A Shoot dodge : No Description: Its your usual hand grenade, round and black. Use: Its great to use against hidden enemies, or enemies waiting for you around the corner. Just throw it diagonally, and it will rebound off the wall (remember, angle of incidence=angle of reflection, acc. to Physics) and may land straight at the enemies feet. Found: Err, can't remember. I would write it the next time I play the game, or if someone sends it to me. Notes: BOOM! Reader's Notes: "Joshua Overmiller" A good use for the grenade is for clearing the laser tripwire mines that you cannot shoot directly. For instance, throwing a grenade around a corner to disarm a mine. --- M79 --- ASCII Representation: @@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Clip capacity : 1 Max ammo : 10 Ammo type : M79 ammo Range : far away from you RoF : very slow Shoot Dodge : Yes Description: Unlike the usual RPG's, it has thick barrel and a wooden handle. Use: Use it against either a group of thugs or a single boss which are far away from you. The grenade travels straight and slow, and you don't get to use it much. I think this weapon just does not belongs to the game. Found: Part 2, Chapter 5, in the Don's Manor. Notes: Nothing looks better than the grenade flying in slo-mo. ============================================================================== ****************************** VIII.

Use: Of course this is used to snipe people far away from you. Use the 'Use' key to activate the Zoom feature of the Sniper Rifle, and keep it pressed to zoom further. The coolest thing about this is the 'Bullet Cam', which is activated when you successfully shoot a target. Found: Part 2, Chapter 3. I think you find it next to the note saying 'Mayor'. Notes: This is my favorite Sniper Rifle in the game. Hey wait! This is the only one. ^_^ ============================================================================== ********************************************************** IX.
