Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard

Maximum Hazard will unlock after the first play through of the game, but if you only want to complete the game once, then type in this code from the difficulty select out in the main menu;
Up

Down

Then Maxium hazard will be available to choose from the menu.

I found this guide (created by the publishers themselves) linked on X360A in one of the forums so all credit goes to BBALL UK who posted it there first.

Helped me out with some of the more difficult parts of this game and it's achievements.

One trick I found particularly useful on my Maximum Hazard playthrough was being able to shoot through walls. That's right - shoot through walls!

Much like Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, instead of taking cover on a wall, it is better to stand behind a wall and aim through it. Enemies won't be able to shoot you, but you can still shoot them.

Obviously there are some parts of the game where this trick won't work, during boss battles etc., but for the majority of the game you can literally shoot through walls.

Please comment if you vote negatively. I will edit my solution to make it better.

I've posted a Maximum Hazard playthrough to Youtube, playlist found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfDC5d996dRFHIorjfTJf.... If you're stuck somewhere, it might help out as a walkthrough. I'd recommend going ahead and doing it as your first playthrough; the game isn't too difficult when you play cautiously, and there's no progression system of any kind so you don't have to worry about going in underpowered.

"Should note that, if you replay a level on a lower difficulty, the game saves THAT completion, so if you finish "Hide and Sake" on Maximum, but then replay it on Minimum, it'll save the Minimum completion.

So it other words, only your latest completion counts on each level"

For anyone whom wanted to get the deathless run first after failing on max hazard and didn't get the achievement for Medium and Hard difficulty in the end.

Just do said level you replayed on Minimum Hazard on Maximum Hazard And the Achievements for Normal and Hard will unlock. Given the fact you did the rest on Maximum Hazard without replaying levels on lower diffiuclties

This 10+ Year old comment from Leo saved my ass and since this was a comment it might get overlooked, but I found this very helpful and glad I've read this and thus decided I found this was worthy of a "guide"
