Rockstar just announced that fans can now recruit and rally their Social Club CREW – or find a solid Crew to join that is poised for absolute domination in Max Payne 3 Multiplayer. Each Crew can also create their own original signature crest using the robust Emblem Editor toolkit.

FORM A CREW

That’s right; you can now create or join your own CREW in preparation for slaughter in Max Payne 3 Multiplayer. Hit the CREW UP button on your profile page and you can browse Featured Crews looking for recruits or invite your friends to join your ranks to blast through Gang Wars and Team Deathmatch together, racking up XP and starting online Feuds come next week. Every Social Club member can belong to up to 5 Crews, so form your allegiances wisely.

The CREWS page also contains info on the in-game benefits Crew members get in online Multiplayer. You’ll receive an XP boost whenever you fight as part of a Crew or battle against rival Crews and their members online. This means you’ll effectively unlock bigger and better weapons more quickly than if you’re flying solo. And because this feature is linked through the Social Club, you can represent your Crew across PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

CREATE YOUR CREW EMBLEM

Create an original battle crest to be displayed on your Crew’s online Multiplayer avatars by crafting a unique emblem with this this new and robust customization toolkit. The Emblem Editor is packed with thousands of shapes, colors and icons and tools to create limitless possibilities to properly represent your squad and to intimidate psyche out or stupefy the competition.

FOUNDER CREWS

Any Crew created between now until next week Tuesday May 15th will have the honorable distinction of being a FOUNDER CREW. Members of Founder Crews will have a special two-stripe designation on their in-game Crew tag to let everyone else online know of their O.G. veteran status. We’re also planning some other special benefits and perks for members of Founders Crews down the line so please stay tuned for updates and notifications to your Social Club profile.
