General Tips
- There are a lot more enemies with guns in the sequel, so be sure to pick up guns along the way for some ranged fights.
- Constantly lure out enemies to get easy kills. This is especially useful for enemies with guns - if they don't see you, they can't shoot you.
- Use the zoom out function often. Levels are a lot larger in Hotline Miami 2, and you don't want to get shot by an enemy in the corner just because you didn't zoom out.
- Be careful around the bigger enemies. They often take more shots/hits to kill, and can be especially dangerous when joined by other foes.
- Use ammo sparingly. Not every enemy drops the gun you want, so don't go wasting bullets.
- You can use the gun as a distraction. Just fire off a few shots to draw the enemy towards you, and then switch to a melee weapon for a quick kill around the corner.
- Take your time and be patient. Unless you're a super impressive speedrunner, the slow and methodical approach works best in most levels.
