Hotline Miami: Master 'Full House' Strategy

AntMag.NET

Alright, so 'Full House' is all about dealing with a lot of guys in cramped spaces. The good news? This is where you really get to shine with melee weapons and stealth. The bad news? One wrong move and you're restarting that checkpoint.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start on May 11th, 1989, in Miami. This level throws a lot of patrols and sentries at you, but it's perfect for practicing your silent takedowns. Your first move is to hang back outside the building. Wait for a patrol with a dog to wander into the foyer. Take them both out quietly.
2
After that, you'll see a lone guy in the next room. Easy pickings. Then, there's a single enemy in the checkerboard rug room – he's also an easy target. Finally, there's one more sentry chilling in the south-east kitchen.
3
Now, for the south-west part of the level, grab a shotgun. You're going to want to pick off the enemies one by one. Shoot one, then duck into the small room in the north. Wait for the others to come looking for you, then pop out and take them down. Repeat this until they're all dealt with.
4
The final group of enemies is in the north-east part of the level. These guys are tough if you just rush in. Open the door, immediately take out one enemy, and then fall back into a side room. Wait for them to come to you, or if they don't, repeat the process until they're all dead.
5
Before you head upstairs, make sure you grab the knife. It's crucial for what's coming up.
6
PUZZLE PIECE: Keep an eye out for the letter 'E' in the south-east kitchen on the first floor. Grab it for your collection.
7
Now, head up to the second floor. This is another prime spot for knife kills. Take out the guy near the south and the one just south of him.
8
Next, you'll see a single patrol in the south-east room. Throw a weapon at him to distract or kill him. After that, grab a melee weapon and position yourself by the west door. Enemies will approach one by one, making them easy to pick off.
9
In the north-east room, there are a few guys lined up right in front of the door. Use a gun here to take them out from a distance. There's a smoker who might not move, so just take him out however you see fit.
10
The last two guys are in the north-west. They're pretty straightforward to deal with.
11
MASK: To get the 'Jones' mask, you need to complete this chapter first. After that, head back to the car and pick up a crowbar. Take the crowbar to the sewer entrance located in the south-east corner of the map. Go inside, and you'll find the mask.
12
Once everything is clear, return to the car to finish the chapter.

Tips

Don't be afraid to use the environment to your advantage. Ducking into rooms to break line of sight is key to surviving the shotgun encounters.
Always grab a melee weapon if you can, especially for the second floor. Knife kills are silent and conserve ammo.
The sewer entrance for the Jones mask is only accessible after completing the level, so don't go looking for it mid-mission.
