Max has no choice but to face the heavily equipped militia head-on, leaving Rodrigo in his office so he can be ready to activate it's lockdown sequence. Shortly proceeding this, a distant sounding alarm triggers and Rodrigo announces that a group, of which are later determined to be the Cracha Preto, are entering the building through the reception doors (of which is visibly confirmed via the CCTV monitors active in Rodrigo's office). Da Silva interrupts by making an attempt (via Rodrigo's secretary) to meet with Rodrigo privately, possibly to warn him that the UFE might be involved in the conspiracy regarding Fabiana's kidnapping, only to then be impatiently disregarded by Rodrigo as just "another bent cop". Rodrigo dismisses Becker, who responds by shaking his hand and leaving, and Rodrigo moves over to where Max is still standing, walks past him, and the two talk about how they had "so many plans", and Max responding to Rodrigo, "didn't we all". Becker, now alone with Rodrigo and Max, tries to convince Rodrigo (partly in portuguese) that it would be much more efficient if Rodrigo end his employment of Max and Passos, who in the process he claims to be "fucking amateurs", having stated protection would be best provided by "professional security" instead. Almost immediately after, Victor instructs Marcelo and Passos to the chopper, also insisting that Becker should go with them too, and all but one of the selected party proceed out of the office, accompanied by Victor himself. A few moments later, Becker claims he can guarantee Fabiana's rescue and in close proximity to the time present, but only under the condition that Rodrigo "Do as I (he) asks", to which Rodrigo replies "Maybe", in a considerate tone. Victor attempts to reassure him, including a reference to their father, and admitted by Rodrigo, his "embarrassing, humiliating" death, but is not considered by Rodrigo to be in equal severity to the current situation, and so his anxiety persists. Rodrigo sympathetically refrains from further hostility, and explains to the two that he only wants to know "what was happening and why". Passos quickly, and in a sincere manner, tries to explain both himself and Max have "risked their lives several times" in collective attempts to rescue her. Rodrigo attempts to dismiss the two bodyguards as a "fucking pair of clowns", due to their evident failure to recover Fabiana. Upon their arrival into the Branco headquarters and then entrance into Rodrigo's office, Max and Passos encounter Rodrigo in a highly anxious state accompanying him is Marcelo Branco, Victor Branco and Armando Becker. Passos wakes him up and tells him that their boss, Rodrigo Branco, wants to see them. Max is slumped over a table and sitting on a chair, around which the usual evidence of heavy substance abuse. An amusing side effect of this is that once their cheating ways no longer work, since they are all fighting with the same underhanded methods, they will likely either stop cheating so they can play the game properly again or just give up all together, unfortunately however, likely finding a new game to go and ruin for everyone.The chapter starts with Raul Passos intruding on Max Payne in his unlocked apartment. So essentially the cheaters get sent to a special little place for cheaters to hang out and mess up the game for each other.
“Anyone found to have used hacked saves, modded games, or other exploits to gain an unfair advantage in Max Payne 3 Multiplayer, or to circumvent the leaderboards will be quarantined from all other players into a “Cheaters Pool”, where they’ll only be able to compete in multiplayer matches with other confirmed miscreants”
In a clever move, Rockstar have created an amusing and innovative way of punishing those who use exploits, hacks and all manner of methods to cheat in the Max Payne 3 multiplayer game modes.
