Having no weapons to use in Max Payne when skipping to a level

Last Updated: July 20, 2023

Question: I used cheats in Max Payne for iOS/Android and now I'm stuck at the start of a level without any weapons!  Help!

Answer: For those using the "Skip to Level" cheat, we recommend that you have weapons in your inventory, as you will start a new level with your current weapon set.  If you are out of ammunition, you may not be able to get very far in a new level.  

Before using cheats to go to a new level, please save your game to an empty slot as a backup.  After using a cheat to warp to a new level, your game may autosave in that state using the reserved first slot, overwriting your previous save.  In that case, you would need to start a new game, and once you have enough weaponry through normal play, you can skip to the desired part of the game.
