Your expert guide to Max Payne Part 26. Master the garage levels, take down thugs, and survive the black van ambushes with these step-by-step strategies and tips.

Alright, let's dive into Part 26. This section throws you right into some intense garage combat, so stick close and we'll get through it. It's all about managing enemy positions and using the environment to your advantage.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start this section dealing with a few thugs. Take them out, then head to the ramp. Repeat the strategy you used before for the next wave. Four more thugs will appear at the bottom of the ramp. They'll run up to you, but they bunch up nicely, making them easy targets.
  2. 2
    After that, make your way down to level five. You'll need to dive forward to cover the distance. A couple of thugs are waiting at the bottom, so use that dive to get some extra aiming time to take them out.
  3. 3
    Once you're at the bottom, immediately run to the far corner to avoid gunfire from enemies around the next corner. You'll find a good amount of Colt Commando ammo here, so definitely grab it.
  4. 4
    Now, for the two goons around the corner. The railing is a pain, but you can handle it. Back up until you can see the goon on the right. Take him out with your Colt. Then, dive around the corner and deal with his partner on the left.
  5. 5
    Grab any remaining Colt ammo and head into the main part of the level five garage. As you approach some corpses, a black van will show up and blast at you. Duck behind a pillar until the shooting stops. Two more thugs will come from behind the van; wait for them to reach you and take them down. Check the far right corner for painkillers in a cabinet.
  6. 6
    Head down to level four via the garage door on the right to end this part.
  7. 7
    Now, you're on level four. A goon will be on your left, ready to shoot, and another is coming up the ramp on the right. Prioritize one and take him out before the other gets you.
  8. 8
    Once they're both down, step onto the ramp. Let the van shoot at you for a bit before it speeds off. A car will explode and crash, and two more goons will jump out of the van. Only one will come at you directly, so kill him and then lure the other one out with a few shots.
  9. 9
    Head down to level four and look around the corner. It's similar to the last area. Two thugs are right around the corner. A shoot-dodge with your dual Ingrams should handle them easily. The other two are spread out on the right.
  10. 10
    As you enter the main area, the black van will drive past and head down to level three. The thug closest to you, behind the central room, will run over. Take him out, then go find the other one.
  11. 11
    With the area clear, head to the ramp for level three. In the left corner, there's a van with Colt ammo and painkillers.
  12. 12
    As you go under the garage door, dive forward. Two thugs are just around the corner, so you need to be quick to avoid getting caught off guard.
  13. 13
    Finally, run down to level three.
Tips
  • The Colt Commando is your best friend in these tight garage sections. Make sure to pick up all the ammo you find.
  • Don't be afraid to use shoot-dodges, especially with the dual Ingrams, to quickly clear out groups of enemies or get the drop on them.
  • Use the pillars and environmental cover to your advantage when the black van starts shooting. It buys you precious seconds to line up your shots.
  • Pay attention to enemy spawns. Sometimes they'll bunch up, other times you'll need to lure them out one by one.
