How to unlock the The Fear Of Losing It achievement in Max Payne 3 - Definitive Guide

A very easy achievement. I advise that you beat chapter one first and begin chapter two, so that you can use mission select and choose it without having to start over and reset the difficulty. That is of course if you are playing on anything other than easy (as it saves your main non-select playthrough.)

Anyway, select mission 1, set the difficulty to easy, and place the aim assist on high. Now as you play, make ample use of bullet time and the shoot-dodge especially (as the SD always seems to lock onto head.) Follow this and you should take little to no damage; I did not take any.

Just to add to a very good solution for a very easy achievement is that if you get shot, and are close to dying then restarting a checkpoint doesn't effect this achievement.

Also just wanna mention that you CAN die as long as you don't use any painkillers. If you just suck at the game like I do and still somehow die on easy, just don't kill anyone as you're going down and you won't revive, meaning you didn't use any painkillers!

I can't imagine somebody even die at easy. Use Hard Lock and you can get it done without a scratch! Very first chapter.

This achievement is even easier then expected. I loaded first level played through it on medium (because i forgot 2 change difficulty) got to last part and my health was almost gone I decided to reload checkpoint got my health back to full finished the level and the achievement still unlocked.

You can get this achievement on every level,difficulty with aim assist if you like.
You can even die, BUT when you got shot down and are in last stand just let yourself die otherwise the achievement will be DISABLED.
It's because you will use a painkiller when you make a kill in last stand.

You can easily do this on Chapter 1 with easy difficulty, and set targetting to hard lock. Just use bullet time whenever you have a chance, always go for covers, and be patient. Watch the video for the walkthrough of chapter 1

I got this by accident. I was at the end of level 1 and quit out, came back later and loaded my save, and finished the level. I quit out at the part where you have the shoot out with the guys from the van. I had used a painkiller while I was playing previously, not when I reloaded my save. Achievement popped upon beating the level.

This would be easiest done on Easy difficulty on the first mission. Take your time, use Bullet Time and use cover. If your health gets too low you will go into last stand and a Painkiller will be used automatically, if you think this might happen, restart checkpoint, doing so will still enable you to unlock the achievement at the end of the level.

We set the difficulty to easy, select hard sight lock, chapter 2, go through it without pressing the up button on the d-pad and if you are killed, do not do the “last shot in slow motion”, but simply let Max die.

It's best to go through chapter 1 on easy level; there are few enemies and it's short!

The easiest way to do this is to complete the first chapter on minimum difficulty.
