___ NATURAL CRIME ___ ===================== If you are shot at by natural enemies (protestors, rioters, etc...), you can let law enforcement handle the problem. Simply run away to the nearest officer/SWAT/soldier, and they will retaliate fire to kill the person. Note that if you open fire on someone as counter-fire, you may receive a wanted meter because you are firing a weapon in public.
___ EXPLOSIVE CARS ___ ====================== Since cars cannot be driven in Postal 2, make the most of it by blowing them up. Believe it or not, most vehicles can be destroyed by as little as 3 bullets. Watch out though. When cars explode, they generally fly in the air, and ignite other cars to explode. This can really cause a messy scene and raise your wanted meter especially if you were the one who caused the major ignition.
___ PURCHASING ITEMS ___ ======================== If you want to buy something from a store, or perform an action at a store, select cash from your inventory and press ENTER to give it to a clerk. Note that they will only say the price of the item audibly, so listen before you are so anxious to waste away $300 on a Kevlar Vest.

========================= - 3) Walkthrough - ========================= One of the unique aspects is that you don't have to follow anything the game says. You may do, or simply ignore objectives that are set before you. If you do decide to follow an objective, there are alternatives to your actions. You can accomplish tasks peacefully just like any other citizen in Paradise, or choose the violent alternative. Generally this means shooting people, beating them with shovels, angering others, and being a general menace to society. This section will describe the manner in which to complete the game based on your choice.
-=> Starting a New Game <=- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ When you start a new game, you have a choice of difficulties: + Liebermode + Too Easy + Very Easy + Easy (Easy) + Remedial + Average (Medium) + Aggressive + Hard + Very Hard + Manic + Hestonworld (Hard) + Insane-o + They Hate Me (Impossible)
- The only difference between difficulties is the damage, accuracy, and life taken away of your other NPCs in the gaming world. I played this game on Average.
*A brief video shows an overview of the town of Paradise with a population of 4312 people. We see a hobo dancing by some liquor bottles, a cop beating down an innocent man, Then, we zoom in on a trailer house with a man and his wife arguing. The man's AC is broke, and he gets ticked off. His wife tells him to go get some stuff. His car doesn't start. This is not the start to a good day.*
_______ /Monday/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= DIFFICULTY: *** OBJECTIVES: >> Pick up Paycheck >> Cash Paycheck >> Get Milk
DESCRIPTION: "Monday is the recovery day of the work week. You're back to work, chugging away at tasks that bore your mindset. This Monday will be different though, a lot different."
- Go into the small brown shack in front of you and grab the shovel & health pipe. Go grab the newspaper nearby as well. Exit your yard and start moving up the street. Press F to bring up your map and head for the red circle marked by RWS. You work at a video game developer called Running with Scissors, ironically, they are also the developers of Postal 2. Cut a left up at the tunnel after moving up the walkway a bit. Then, cut a right and go through another level transition. Branch a left up the road past the mall towards RWS's headquarters. You will notice a group of protesters outside wearing orange shirts. Apparently they are parents against violence in video games - I think I know where this is going. Head inside RWS, and look right behind the reception desk for a rifle. This will be helpful. Go down the hallway along the left and look for a door with the nameplate "Vince Deal" on it. Go inside. Vince says you're fired. Who cares? Grab the paycheck on the desk.
*Suddenly, the rioters from outside decide to charge in on RWS and kill them all. What a bunch of hypocrites!*
- Pull out the rifle you had before and start shooting anyone with an orange shirt on. Your former RWS workers will pull out rifles as well and defend themselves. You'll have to kill about 10-12 orange people in total. Use the room for cover, pop out, lay a few shots, and repeat. Use the pistol for long- distance shots as it is more accurate than the rifle with recoil. After they're dead, snatch up any ammo you need to survive. Leave RWS and head south towards the grocery store to buy milk. The Postal Dude will mark down the RWS Protestors as enemies, so they will always shoot on sight when they see you. Just what we need. Head into the Indian Grocery store to get some milk. You'll find it in the back near the refridgerators. You now have a choice:
(a) Pay for milk, cost $5 (b) Leave store without paying
- If you pay for the milk, simply wait at the back of the line, and give the cashier the money by pressing ENTER (you will have to cycle your inventory for it if is not out). You'll then get the milk legally. If you leave the store without paying, this is where it gets interesting. As you leave the store, the Indian cashier will notice you and pull out a rifle. Use the nearby aisles as cover and do one-shot strafes on him with your pistol. Shoot him once, seek cover by strafing, and repeat. Do this until he dies. Grab his rifle, then go by the cash drawer and you'll grab a hefty sum of money. Now, leave the store. You should be able to do it quickly and quietly without the police noticing. Start heading for the bank to the south. You will run into 2 ambushing Protestors. You can either fire back at them, or, try to lure them to a police officer. The officer will fire back and try to kill them. If you let this happen, then you most likely won't get a wanted rating for firing your weapon in public.
- When you reach the bank, you'll notice a long line to the cashier. There's only one cashier because EVERY other cashier has those goofy "please use next cashier" signs up. You now have a choice:
(a) Wait in line and give paycheck to cashier for $ (b) Rob the bank for a real "paycheck"
- After you cash your paycheck, 3 armed robbers will storm the bank and set off the alarm. Here's a neat little trick. An alarm will get sounded off and police will start to storm the bank to counter the robbery. Hop the cashier counter and run down the back hallway. Make sure you don't have a weapon pulled out. The police will be busy engaging the crooks out front in the lobby. Run to the back, and cut a left at the lone door. Inside you'll find the safe wide open. Grab the stashes of cash on the drawers, then grab the money bag in the center of the vault. You've robbed the bank and no one knows about it! Quickly leave the room, but go down the left and up the stairs. Go into the room on the right and kick the window in by pressing Q. Hold down C and jump to fit through the opening. You'll notice the robbers are down. This is great. You robbed the bank and you have no wanted level. Leave the bank as if nothing happened and go to a transition point so the Postal Dude goes home.
*You and your wife have a little argument. He explains how he got laif off from work.*
________ /Tuesday/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= DIFFICULTY: **** OBJECTIVES: >> Confess Sins >> Get Signatures >> Return Book >> Get Gary's Autograph
DESCRIPTION: "Tuesday is starting to up the workload. We need to do more things, but as usual, at a casual pace."
- First, let's return the book. You'll notice that you have a petition in your hand that needs 8 signatures from people. In order to get signatures, you have to be persistent. Walk up to a random person, and left click to ask them. When they say no, do it again. Hopefully, they'll sign it. If they don't, and you threaten them a third time, they may run away scared. If you ask anyone who is wearing a RWS shirt, they will sign it on the first asking. Also, hardcore or rockers will generally sign the petition on their second try. Don't ask the same person again for a signature. Go west towards the library, but ask people along the way so you have 8 signatures total to complete that objective.
- You may notice a band playing outside your home marching along the street. They'll actually get blown up by a jihadist so don't stand too close. Enter the library after all the petitions are tighty and neat. The library looks like a giant palace in a sense. You'll find the book return office along the left side of the library on the first floor, in double doors beneath the second floor stairs. Head inside and you'll notice a big line. Screw that! Go up to the drop box and press X to drop the book into the drop slot. Once it is in, something terrible will happen.
*Remember the group of book burning rioters in the main lobby? Well, their leader decides to start burning books in anguish of their actions. Two of them enter inside, one with a gasoline can, and the other with a rifle. The library catches on fire.*
- Exit the double doors and shoot the immediate rioter with your rifle. Cut a right and go through the single door. Head up the stairs. You're going to run into 3-4 rioters on this second level. If you run out of rifle ammo, switch to the shotgun and charge at them. Aim for headshots so you get instant kills. Make sure to pick up their pistol ammo as you'll need it. Head a tad further down this second floor, and grab the kevlar on the ground. If you need health, use the doggy bags that the rioters drop to heal yourself. Be careful, when you enter the Porn room, a jihadist will be armed in there. Take him out. Go back out to the dead policeman's body and crouch jump on the railing. Hop down to ground level, then exit out the main lobby.
- You can add someone new to your hate list (the book protestors). Head north towards the mall. Looks like Gary Coleman is in town (Yay!). Enter the mall via the lower floor, go up the stairs, then jut a left into the presentation room that is now unblocked. You're now inside the Paradise Mall. Aside from Gary Coleman's main presentation, there are tons of side stores. The Liquidation store on the second floor sells kevlar armor for $300. Pretty expensive. If you check the second dressing room in this store, you'll find a stash of money inside. Continue down the long hallway on the second floor of the mall. A store named Turdines sells Radar detectors. Watch out for protestors in the mall. Remember that mall security will take care of them, and you don't have to retaliate. Head downstairs.
- There's a SWAT store downstairs that sells guns. You'll find some donuts in a backroom you can eat to heal yourself. Continue exploring the first floor. There is a food court to the left that sells healing food items for cheap prices. There are plenty of other stores to discover in your own time. Get to the first floor, and look at the "You are Here" signs until you get near the main lobby (yellow section) where Gary Coleman is. You have two choices:
(a) Wait in line and get an autograph (b) Kill someone who just had their book autographed, and take it
- If you wait in line and get the autograph, the Police will surround the mall area and put an arrest warrant out on Gary Coleman. Do not try to help him or kill him as you'll pull up an arrest warrant for doing so. His bodyguards will chase you along with the police. It's pretty funny though to watch Coleman pull out a rifle and hand grenades saying he won't go back to the joint. After he dies (along with all the other chaos), pick up the ammo and exit the mall. Head west towards the Church to confess your sins.
- After exiting the mall, go down into the dried up creekbed right of the bridge. Check one of the side pathways that leads to a deadend. You'll find around $200 and a health pipe. Go back south of the mall, and go past the land bridge that heads north of the mall on the map. Walk through this beat up neighborhood until you see a house tall above on a hill. Go behind the house to pass through a loading point. Watch for 2 book protestors to ambush you down this hobo pathway. Shoot them both. Continue onward. Go left past the trainyard, and the access to the church is behind the orange & gray transport crates. Enter the church and go left. Head down the left portion of the church until you see a red door designating the confession area. Move on in. This is the main presentation area. Go to the rear, through the double doors, then look at the wooden sign to your right pointing to the Confessional - head towards it. You'll end up discovering a HUGE line for the confessional. Well, let's wait anyway.
*Once inside the confession room, the father blesses you but recommends you leave a fee inside the alms box at the entrance to the church. Whatever! Suddenly, some Arabians storm the parking lot. One of them jihads a group of priests. The fellow Christian priests grab their guns and start to counterfight the Jihadists! Let's get the heck out of here.*
- Go downstairs and watch for immediate Jihadists. Make use of your shotgun against their holy war, and grab the medkits on the table if you need them. I recommend smoking a health pipe here to increase your health to 125 or so. Some
