Complete the Tension mission in Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. Learn enemy patterns, weapon locations, and how to find Puzzle Piece 'A'.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin on May 5th, 1989, in Miami, Florida. Wait for the patrol in the south-west to be near the sentry, then rush in and punch both out. Kill them and take the shotgun.
  2. 2
    Wait for a dog or patrol to enter the south-west room's doorway. Stand inside to the lower-left with a clear sight through the doorway and shoot all enemies as they cross into your gun's line of sight. Take out the guy in the north-west if he did not rush you. Pick up another gun.
  3. 3
    Go to the door for the mid-north office and kill one guy, then quickly retreat to the north-west bathroom. Aim at the door and kill enemies as they search for you.
  4. 4
    Aim at the two melee guys in the south-east and shoot through the blue glass walls to kill them. The final guy in the north-east can be taken out any way you choose. Pick up a knife before moving to the second floor.
  5. 5
    Immediately kill the guy who enters the hallway, then wait near the doorway. Use the knife to kill the patrol guys as they walk past the door.
  6. 6
    Keep the knife and repeat the process for the next two patrol guys. Use knives to kill the two guys in the north hallway. Finally, kill the guy in the north-west pool room.
  7. 7
    Grab a gun and go to the far east room. Aim at the west room door (with all the wires) and shoot it from as far away as you can to cause an explosion that kills everyone in that room.
  8. 8
    The two guys behind tables can be killed with any gun by shooting them the moment they are in your line of sight, or by rushing in and keeping moving while locked on, but be careful to get past their fire.
  9. 9
    Return to the car when you are done.
Tips
  • Utilize the shotgun found early to clear out initial threats.
  • The bathroom in the north-west serves as a good defensive position against searching enemies.
  • Knives are effective for silent takedowns on patrols on the second floor.
  • The explosion in the east room is a powerful tool to clear multiple enemies at once.
  • Be precise when shooting the enemies behind tables, as they will shoot you if you miss your window.
  • Puzzle Piece: "A" is located on the west side of the explosion room.
