Grayed out undiscovered clues in Max Payne 3

Last Updated: June 14, 2023

Question: I found a clue in Max Payne 3 but the button to examine it (Y or Triangle) is greyed out.  I know I haven't found this clue before so how can I collect it?

Answer: Clues may remain greyed out for examination until Max kills all of the enemies in the area.  If you are trying to examine a clue (such as graffiti, notes, or bodies) and cannot press the button, try exploring the area to kill all of the nearby enemies.  As soon as the area is clear, return to the clue and you will be able to press the Examine button.
