Behind the scenesEdit

• In Max Payne and Max Payne 2 each container of painkillers heals about 20% of health, but does it over time, and it may take a few seconds for a complete recovery. In the Dead Man Walking mode, one is healed instantly.
• You can only carry 9 painkillers at a time, their number shown next to the health silhouette and the Bullet Time meter.
• Although they are an intrinsic part of the games, there is no mention of the painkillers in the Max Payne film.
• In Max Payne 3 each painkiller is required to enter the Last Man Standing mechanic if fatally wounded by the person who hit them.
• Similar to Max Payne 3 single player mode, all players in multiplayer can use painkillers and go into Last Man Standing if wounded and holding painkillers and ammo.
