Combat is an inseparable part ofMad Max.
In almost every place of the game world you will meet at least few enemies.
The types of enemies are varied as well.
However, their attacks are predictable, which makes them easy to learn.
Almost alwaysMaxmust face large numbers of enemies.
Despite the fact that hits are varied, those two rules are important during the whole game.
The hit can be blocked after buying an upgrade inMax’smenu,
-knife attack- signalized with a red icon.
A successful dodge will allow you to deal some hits at enemy backs.
-Thunderstickthrow- special enemy key in is able to throwThundersticks.
Those enemies are usually keeping distance from you and throwing explosives.
-back throw- this attack cannot be blocked, it’s an ability of few enemies.
They catchMaxfrom the back.
You must quickly press the interaction button so you can free yourself.
There’s an ability that allows you to perform execution immediately after being captured by an enemy.
During the battle you should carefully observe enemy behavior.
Fighting group of enemies should be based on counterattacks and dodges.
When there aren’t many enemies nearby, you might allow yourself to perform a longer combo.
However, if you are surrounded, that would end with receiving a hit at your back.
Depending on blocks is not the only effective tactic.
Whenever it is possible, make use of such gifts.
During the battle you should remember about those possibilities and utilize them in one hundred percent.
Each successfully landed hit (and each hit received) increases the fury bar.
Once it reaches maximum,Maxgoes into mode in which he deals much larger damage.
Regular hits become stronger and a full combo ends with an impressive throw of the enemy.
However, it would be a shame not to use the powerful attacks.
So, whenever you are not threatened by a back hit, perform powerful combos.
Fury lasts for a specific amount of time, it can be increased by buying ability atGriffa.
Sometimes you will be forced to fight a special, stronger enemy punch in.
This includes shield bearers and hounds which are mini bosses met in camps.
In most cases, you might’t block their attacks, which means you must depend mostly on dodges.
In case of a 1 vs 1 duel it’s not a big problem.
Later in the game you will unlock the ability to destroy enemy shields.
When you are conquering enemy camps, you will frequently meet a special enemy punch in calledWar Crier.
This enemy doesn’t fight you directly.
Instead, he is hanging above the battlefield and he supports his allies.
Entering the arena with aWar Crieris immediately signalized with a loading bar.
The easiest way to eliminate him is shooting him down.
It is hard, but it’s possible for you to use the canteen during the battle as well.
You will unlock new abilities as you progress in the game.
Remember about gradually upgrading other parts ofMax’sequipment (Jacket, Knuckleduster, Shoulder protection) as well.
This will increase the hits resistance and damage dealt byMax.
Weapon parry- allows you to block attacks of armed enemies.
Shoulder charge- you’ve got the option to gain speed and hit an enemy with your shoulder.
It often stuns him, and while in fury, also makes him lose his weapon.
Gut shot- allows you to shoot enemy below his stomach.
To do it, you must be close to enemy and perform a “quick shot” without aiming.
Limb breaking counter- after performing a perfect block,Maxdeals a powerful hit that stuns the enemy.
Fury ground execution- it becomes possible to eliminate the knocked over enemies while in fury mode.
Thanks to that,Maxis able to kill each stunned opponent with a single move.
More resistant enemies will be stunned after that.
Reversal- after performing a perfect block,Maxis taking enemy’s weapon.
Wall Shiv Execution- an enemy stunned by the wall can be quickly finished with a knife.
Shiv Grapple Escape- a very useful skill.
If you have knives, you could immediately release yourself from an enemy grab.
An escape will end with the immediate kill of the opponent.
Shield Shatter- this skill can be used after hitting enemy shield.
In that case,Maxwill hit again few times at enemy cover.
In fury mode this should be enough to destroy the cover, otherwise you might need to repeat it.
Master Melee Reversal- it allows you to take enemy weapon even after performing a regular block.
You must quickly press the action button, otherwise enemy will pushMaxback.
Master Shiv Reversal- enemies with knife can be disarmed and immediately killed byMax.
Similarly to the ability above, you must perform the execution quickly.
When performing this move, you will obtain the enemy’s knife (your ammunition will increase).
