Rockstar Games will release the final Max Payne 3 DLC pack, Deathmatch Made in Heaven, on 22 January 2013.
The expansion adds four multiplayer modes: Dead Men Walking, Run and Stun, Marked Man and Time Attack. It also introduces the New York Minute Arcade Challenge for the single-player campaign.
Dead Men Walking is a two-player co-op survival mode. Max Payne and Raul Passos fight successive waves of enemies while earning Grit, which can be spent on weapons, attachments, ammunition and health.
Run and Stun places one player in control of Saci, who carries a stun gun and has increased stamina. The remaining players must defeat Saci before becoming stunned and joining that player’s side.
Marked Man assigns score multipliers to players after they secure kills. Eliminating a marked opponent awards additional points, while surviving allows the multiplier to increase.
Time Attack modifies standard Deathmatch by awarding extra time for kills. More powerful weapons and advanced techniques add greater amounts of time to the player’s score.
The New York Minute Arcade Challenge extends the campaign’s Arcade Mode. Players must complete story chapters against a countdown, with successful kills adding more time.
Deathmatch Made in Heaven also includes new multiplayer equipment. The additions include a stun gun, cattle prod, pepper spray, Bouncing Betty mine and the Unstoppable Burst.
The DLC will cost 800 Microsoft Points through Xbox Live and £7.29 on PC. Rockstar Pass owners can download the pack as part of their existing pass entitlement.
Xbox 360, PC and North American PlayStation 3 players will receive Deathmatch Made in Heaven on 22 January. The European PlayStation 3 release will follow through the PlayStation Store on 30 January.
Rockstar released the pack according to that schedule, completing the downloadable content programme for Max Payne 3. The PC version was later updated in April 2021 to include all previously released DLC at no additional cost.
Rockstar’s announcement identified Deathmatch Made in Heaven as the final Max Payne 3 DLC and confirmed its initial 22 January release. Its subsequent release post details Dead Men Walking, the competitive modes, New York Minute Arcade Challenge and the additional equipment.
