Richter is an unlockable mask in Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, taking the appearance of a rat. It bears the name of the Assassin in Hotline Miami, Richter. When worn by Jacket, it provides the player with a Silenced Uzi at the start of the chapter. When worn by Richter in Hotline Miami 2, no bonus is given.
Obtaining[]
Hotline Miami[]
The Richter Unlock screen after Assault. The Zack Mask is also unlocked on this level.
The Richter Mask can be found in the final stage of Chapter 13, Assault, on a counter in the evidence room furthest to the north, lying next to a non-usable silenced uzi.
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number[]
The Mask is worn by Richter in the first three Scenes of Act 5: Intermission: First Blood, Demolition, and House Call. It is also worn by Richter in The Table Sequence. It offers no perk, as starting a level with a Silenced Uzi would make the levels "too easy." [1]
Trivia[]
- The assassin Richter waiting in Jacket's apartment at the end of Chapter 11, Deadline, is wearing a Richter mask and wields a Silenced Uzi.
- The Silenced Uzi is possibly a reference to the one in Pulp Fiction that Butch uses to kill Vincent in his apartment bathroom, similar to how Richter kills The Girl.
- The name Richter is German and means "judge."
- It's also the name of Michael Ironside's analogous role as the secondary antagonist of Total Recall; he's similarly a low level enforcer with little knowledge or power, and is tasked to kill an amnesiac man he's secretly affiliated with.
