Max Payne cheats: codes, unlocks and trainers

Add -developer to the command line that starts the game, then press F12 in play. Type coder for invincibility and ammo in one go, or pick single commands: god and mortal switch invincibility on and off, GetAllWeapons, GetInfiniteAmmo, GetHealth, GetPainkillers and GetBulletTime do what their names say, and NoClip lets Max walk through walls until you type NoClip_off.

In Max Payne on PS2, pause and enter L1, L2, R1, R2, then Triangle, Circle, X, Square for every weapon with ammo and painkillers, or L1, L2, R1, R2, then Triangle, X, X, Triangle for unlimited bullet time. For a level select, clear the first subway level, go to the main menu and enter Up, Down, Left, Right, then Up, Left, Down, Circle; the levels then open in the load menu.

Max Payne 2 on PS2 has one code in most lists: during play, enter Square, Square, Square, X, then Left, Right, Left, Right, enter all eight again, and start a new game with every mode and level open.

Besides the default Fugitive setting, Max Payne has Hard-Boiled, Dead on Arrival, limited to seven saves in each chapter, and New York Minute, with a clock on every chapter. Beat Dead on Arrival for The Last Challenge, one last gunfight against a crowd of enemies with shotguns. On Game Boy Advance, one full run opens a cheat mode; its options include Super Cop, All Weapons and infinite ammo.

One run through Max Payne 2 opens the harder settings and two modes, New York Minute and Dead Man Walking; finishing on Dead on Arrival shows a different ending.

As of September 2026, the App Store and Google Play pages of Max Payne Mobile tie its cheats to Rockstar Games Social Club (older devices get them without it, the App Store adds), and both mention a Skip to Level cheat. The first game on PS4 is the PS2 version under emulation; the PlayStation Store warns that some features may not work as on PS2.
