Unlock	Kitchen area in Safehouse

Charlie is a mask in Hotline Miami, and the Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number Level Editor, and is only available to Jacket. The mask resembles an octopus.

Overview

In Hotline Miami the mask when worn makes it so that random weapon spawns will always spawn melee weapons instead of firearms and melee weapons. However the implementation appears to be bugged as it does not increase the rate that unlockable melee weapons spawn, ironically making Charlie the single most useless mask for obtaining the Always on Top and Knife for Pros achievements. In Hotline Miami 2 due to the Random Weapon Spawn feature being removed, the mask no longer has a perk.

In Hotline Miami this mask can be found in Safehouse on a counter in the kitchen area. It can only be picked up after all enemies have been killed.

Trivia

• Despite common misconception, the Charlie Mask most likely does not belong to the Technician and its appearance in Safehouse is simply a gameplay-story segregation; it is more likely that the mask is a representation of the Biker from Jacket's perspective as it shares the former's colour palette of magenta and teal, and increases melee weapon spawns similar to Biker's Cleaver. Furthermore the magenta texture on the rear of the mask bears strong resemblance to Jacket's coma vision of Biker's exposed brain face sprite from the outro of Push It.
