Max automatically enters Bullet Time during this sequence and has infinite ammunition. Aim through the windows and quickly take out the six enemies in the building opposite you.

Grab any available Painkillers before heading upstairs.
The Final Fight
After the next cutscene, Max finds himself in another large firefight.
Two enemies will rush into the area from below, while the main heavily armed enemy takes position above.
Take out the enemies on the ground first and then concentrate on the heavy gunner.
[IMAGE HERE]
Instead of trying to overpower him directly, use the environment.
Shoot the ceiling tiles above him until the material falls and forces him from his position.
More enemies will appear, so clear them out before focusing on the heavy gunner again.
Once he returns to cover, shoot the air-conditioning unit above him.
The falling unit forces him out of cover and leaves him vulnerable.
Finish him with a well-placed shot.
