**A free PC VR mod for Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne.**
Play as Max and Mona with tracked hands, physical weapons, manual reloading and bullet-time combat in VR.
Please note this is a mod for a 20+ year old game... there will be bugs and jank. That said, I do plan on regular releases and bug fixes as needed.
## Features
- Full stereoscopic VR with head tracking, motion controls and roomscale movement.
- Max and Mona support, with a visible body or optional hands-only view.
- Independent aiming and dual wielding, physical jacket holsters and an optional shoulder holster for long guns.
- Manual magazine, slide, pump and shell reloading, plus physical painkiller use.
- Bullet time and shoot dodges, with smooth or snap turning.
- Punches, gun melee, enemy disarming, and grabbing and throwing ragdolls.
- Catch and throw back live grenades, or bat airborne guns and grenades with a weapon.
- Physical rifle scopes with an optional eye-lock setting.
- Wrist HUD, weapon ammo displays and a virtual screen for menus and cutscenes.
- In-game VR settings for world scale, rendering resolution, grip modes, comfort vignette, HUD placement and more.
## Melee
- You must swing hard enough for enemies to react to melee hits.
- Standard enemies take 5 hits to kill unarmed, 3 hits to kill if using a weapon.
- A 3 hit unarmed combo (2 hits with a weapon) will stagger an enemy, at which point you can disarm them by grabbing their weapon.
- You can also disarm an enemy while shoot dodging, throwing a weapon at them to stagger them, or if they are knocked over.
## Holsters
- Gun holsters are located on your lower chest on either side.
- Ammo can be grabbed from either hip.
- Painkillers can be grabbed from the mid upper chest, bring to your mouth to consume.
- Grenades are located in shoulder holsters.
- Check the VR options, there are more configurations as well as an optional shoulder holster for long guns.
## Requirements
- Your own installed copy of **Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne**. Setup supports the **English Steam version** and the verified **German Steam 1.1.102.0** executable; other builds are not verified.
- A Windows 10/11 gaming PC with SteamVR installed.
- A PC-connected VR headset and two tracked controllers. Development testing used **PSVR2** and **Quest 3 through PC VR**. This is not a standalone Quest application.
PSVR2 adaptive triggers use the optional **PSVR2 Toolkit**, installed separately. Standard controller vibration does not require the toolkit.
