In this Guide ill be teaching you the basics of Maximum Action.

If you couldn't be bothered to do the Tutorial like me, then you'll probably be a bit confused on the basic controls to Maximum Action.

The important stuff you should already know, like how to move and jump, however there are some unique things you should know.

F : Grab weapons.

G : Drop weapon/grab prop.

V : Kick (Very useful when face to face with NPCs).

X : Alt Fire (Ex: M16 Grenade Launcher).

Middlemouse (What the devs call Mouse 2) : Throw Grenade.

Left shift : Slow-mo.

P : Sandbox Menu, allows you to spawn in NPCs, Guns, Ammo or Medkits.

These are the ones you'll be using most often (Aside from the Sandbox menu).

Now onto the meat of Maximum Action.
The Guns.

(All these are averages and are probably different for everyone)

Now from what I've Seen, most of the Pistols are either 1-2 shots to the head and 2-4 shots to the chest. 3 shots usually knock Enemies over as well.

For SMGs the average is 2 to the head and 5-7 to the Chest. 4 shots usually knock Enemies over as well.

For Shotguns, you can take out an NPC with 1 shot to the chest or head. You can also blow off their limbs to simply disarm them.

And finally for Assault Rifles, the average is 1-2 shots to the head and 4-6 shots to the chest.

For all weapons, you'll want to aim for the centre mass of a target.
The centre mass being their chest. Any shots here will tend to stun the target for a few seconds or make them fall to the ground, buying you crucial time to finish them off.

Also, don't forget to kick enemies. If you are directly in front of an enemy and are within close range, kick them. This will knock them to the floor and disarm them at the same time, giving you time to take them out for good.

Grenades, ill be honest, are a bit OP at the moment. You need to hold down Middlemouse (Mouse 2) for them to go further. NPCs also throw them at you so be careful. You can also be hurt by your own grenade, so don't throw too many around. You have infinite grenades.

Summary of all this, Shoot at the bad guys and don't miss.

This is my First guide, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

And if you don't own this game yet, go play the demo and see what you think of it.

Have a good day and don't forget to bring ammo.
