Demolition is the 18th scene in Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. It is the second level featuring Richter as a playable character. It is set on April 10th, 1989.
Gameplay[]
Intro[]
The level starts with Richter going out with the excuse of going to a job interview. Rosa asks him if he can give her a bath, to which Richter tells her that he will give her a bath after his job interview.
Level[]
Richter kills mobsters, thugs and dogs inside a dark building that appears to be either disused or under construction. On ascending to the second floor, the player can notice areas in which the floors have been torn up, revealing layers of weapon crates marked "USSR", probably hidden there by the Russian Mob.
The first floor is very memorable for its particular design, there are only three melee mobsters that can be easily killed, but in the middle of the room there is a patrolling mobster armed with a firearm and a thug. There is absolutely no corner or walls for the player to hide, meaning that this room requires good reflexes to be finished and thus, the player can't beat it slowly.
A good strategy to finish the first floor is to hug the wall where the door is located and wait for the melee mobsters to attack, only to take their weapons and kill them. The patrolling enemies can't spot the player when he is hugging the entrance wall. The player must then wait for the thug and the gunner to travel to one of the small rooms, from which the player can ambush the gunner. He musts then quickly grab his gun to finish the thug.
The second floor is more complex and is filled with a large amount of enemies, but can be completed normally without any specific strategy. Some notable facts are the fact that thin walls can be destroyed via shotguns and axes and can be shot through.
Outro[]
After returning home, Richter finds his mother to have passed out in the bathroom. Worried, he carries her up to her bedroom. He then asks her if she is okay, to which she says that she is, despite her worsening condition.

Richter: Sorry mom, I'll help you with the bath as soon as I get home, OK?
Rosa: I see. ... Well, where are you going then? Is it another job interview? I'm sure you'll get it this time.
Richter: Don't get your hopes up, mom. Finding work ain't easy.
Rosa: You're such a bright young man. They're sure missing out. Don't worry, you'll find something eventually...
Richter: Yeah... Well, I gotta go. I'll be back as soon as I can, OK?
Rosa: You run along now, dear. You don't want to be late! Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself.
Outro[]
[Richter returns home. He finds his mother unconscious on the bathroom floor. He carries her to her bed.]
Richter: Mom? ... Mom, can you hear me? ...
Rosa: *COUGH* *COUGH* ... There you are... *COUGH* I must have passed out. ... I was going to take a bath, and then... I don't remember what happened.
Richter: Are you okay? Do you want me to call the doctor?
Rosa: No, please don't... *COUGH* I'm fine, I swear. Just a bit cold and tired. I'll be good as new in the morning.
Richter: Are you sure? You don't look too good.

Trivia[]
- The cover art is a reference to the poster of Die Hard (1988).
- On the cover, Richter is wearing a Letterman jacket, similar to the one Jacket wears on the cover for the first Hotline Miami.
- Despite this, Richter still wears his regular outfit during the actual scene.
- The title and cover art may imply that at some point Richter blew up the entire building. However is more likely a reference to the destructible walls in the level.
Music[]
- "Around" by Modulogeek plays during the introduction.
- "NARC" by Mega Drive plays during the level.
- "Disturbance" by Endless plays during the outro.
