Bro Max using his shotgun

Bro Max is a playable character in the run and gun platform game Broforce. He was released in a beta update called Steam Workshop.

Bro Max is based on the fictional character Max Rockatansky from the Mad Max film series, interpreted by Mel Gibson. Max started his apocalyptic adventure as a Main Force Patrol (MFP or "Bronze") officer, who fought for peace on the decaying roads of Australian civilization.

Gameplay

Attacks

Fire command: Dragon's Breath Shotgun - ignites flammable enemies and deals knockback. The fire travels through walls and enemies.

• Damage: About 14 damage per shot at point-blank.
• Range: 5 blocks with vertical spread.
• Rate of Fire: 2 shots per second. Can't be maxed out.

Special command: Bromerang - When thrown, the Bromerang travels forward a short distance, spins in place, and returns to its original thrown location if not interrupted. The Bromerang can travel through enemies and light terrain and will deal multiple hits when it spins at its max distance. If the Bro is at the original thrown position when the Bromerang returns it will return into the Bro's inventory, otherwise it will drop to the ground where it can be picked back up by walking over it. When bromerang is not picked up after use an ammo crate can be used to collect an additional bromerang, allowing you to hold more than one. This can be repeated to hold up to 5 bromerangs. Can headshot and can deflect bullets.

• Ammunition: 3 (can be reused by collecting it).
• Damage: 4 damage per hit.
• Range: 8 blocks.

Melee command: Punch - Knocks enemies back.

• Damage: 4 damage per punch.
• Range: 1 block.
• Rate of Fire: About 4 punches per second.

Trivia

• He can accumulate special ammo by picking up an ammo crate before picking up a previous boomerang, as mentioned above.
  • He's the only Bro that can reuse the special without replenishing via ammo crates.
• His normal attack is based on Toll Broad's.
• His damaged eye is a reference one of the injuries Max sustained during the course of Mad Max 2.
• The character is also famous for having a metal leg-brace in all of his films since the first movie, but this does not appear in Broforce.
• The actual movie character is also notably interpreted by Tom Hardy in Fury Road but this parody seems to be based off of Max's appearance in Road Warrior.
• Max's boomerang attack may be a reference to the film's Australian heritage, or a reference to the Wild Kid's weapon from Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
