Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne Keyboard Controls
Remedy's 2003 sequel splits Bullet Time in two: the right mouse button slows time where you stand, and a direction held with Shift turns it into a Shoot-Dodge. Painkillers sit on Tab. The rows below are the default movement and combat table printed in the retail manual Rockstar still serves from Steam — the manual also lists a secondary binding for most rows, and every key is re-mappable from the Controls menu.
