Ripping this off will send them flying into the dirt, and make sure they can’t follow you anymore. The most effective use of this weapon is to hit onto one of their wheels. Hitting B again will rip the harpoon back, destroying anything it was touching at the time. The harpoon has an extra bit of fun to it though, as it clamps onto whatever it hits, which then gives you a couple of options. Move your cursor on the screen until you find what area you want to hit, then hit B to fire away.
Initially it functions the same as the shotgun, just hold the button down and the world will slow to a crawl. The harpoon though, that’s where things get really fun and interesting. The first two are pretty self-explanatory, with the action slowing down around the player whenever they pull out a weapon, allowing pin-point accuracy as they target key areas of the attack vehicle. Max has a few different weapons at his disposal: a shotgun, a rocket, and a harpoon. This is where I got my first taste of the epic vehicular combat that will surely make Mad Max a new favorite for action fans. This isn’t some nice and easy post-apocalyptic scenario, so they immediately attacked, hitting me with everything they had. Just driving across the small area needed to get to the convoy caused me to run into two separate groups of bandits.
