Introduction & Mask List
Hotline Miami isn’t shy about its violence - a cursory glance at its marketing materials says it all - but if you're new to the neon-and-blood-soaked streets of Miami, it can be quite difficult to uncover all of the game’s secret wearable masks among the oceans of blood being spilled.
Missing a few collectibles isn't the end of the world for non-completionists, but Hotline Miami's hidden masks all provide unique gameplay effects that you definitely won't want to miss out on.
All Masks
Some of the game's masks are unlocked just by making progress through its levels. Achievement hunters should use the table below as a frame of reference when going for 'Sounds of Animals Fighting' (unlocked for wearing all masks at least once), and Zoo Keeper (unlocked for simply collecting all the masks.)
