Max Payne could probably hold his own with a pair of fists and a shot of whiskey, but something tells us fans wouldn't take kindly to paying $60 for the chance to slo-mo punch their way through Max Payne 3. Knowing this, Rockstar has armed the bald bodyguard to the teeth for his upcoming sequel, and now you can get up close and personal with Max Payne's 608 Bull in the studio's first weapon preview:
According to the new Max Payne 3 website, the 608 Bull is a large frame revolver that accommodates eight rounds of “staggering firepower that can be shot very accurately over short distances”. The 608 Bull can be pilfered from the bodies of paramilitary opponents like the U.F.E, and duel wielded for double the fun.
The site also contains a 360 render of the 608 Bull revolver, plus a few screenshots of the heavy-hitter in action (see our gallery below). Equally detailed rundowns of the game's characters and gangs can also be found, with even more media and gameplay previews set to arrive before the game's release on May 15 in North America, and May 18 in the UK.
