Hotline Miami Jake: A 24-clip Shotgun Guide

The Mask

Jake is a mask obtained by going to the level 'Hot&Heavy' and taking the mask off the fat man in the northwestern part of the building.

When worn, 'Jake' turns all thrown weapons into spinning disks of death metal (and wood), useful for stealth gameplay, for increasing the kill count of a given gun, for killing enemies behind the meatshield of a fat thug, or for wiping out tight groups and lines. Encourages weapon-switching, addressing the issue of emptying a gun's clip. Also affects weapons dropped by enemies that fall into others, eliminating the chances of an enemy in a group not getting gunned down by you. Does not affect dogs or fat thugs at all, merely passing through them like it passes through enemies it kills.

To unlock the mask, beat the first floor of Hot&Heavy and then enter the room at the top left.

You know what to do. Clean house, and collect your prize. (I already picked it up)

The Journey

Now that you're showing your reptilian side to the poor sods you're about to maul, maim and/or shoot (because overkill) it's time to reproduce this exploit.

First, you must go to a map that has what I'd call a "relaxed" enemy. This is a non-fat enemy that's not actively holding a weapon in their hands and is not in 'The Metro' level. Whether they're in the bathroom, they're seated, or they're on the phone, they count. Therefore you cannot do this in maps like Tension, Assault or (funny enough) Hot&Heavy as there are absolutely no such enemies.

Locate a relaxed enemy, and kill him with a thrown weapon (but not with the sharp end of a knife) without him drawing his own weapon. Just rush back behind cover once you throw your weapon at the relaxed enemy so he doesn't spot you and draw a weapon.

If you did it right, he will either drop an empty assault rifle, an empty shotgun, a full assault rifle, or a 24-clip shotgun. Most of the time this won't give you the shotgun you want, just be persistent.

The Reward

Once you finally get the 24-clip shotgun, enjoy not emptying your shotgun in foreseeable time!

Most usable on Deadline, as the first floor has two seated enemies you could throw weapons at, followed by a floor that has limited ammunition... which is perfect because in case you haven't beaten Deadline yet, it's just after Hot&Heavy.

Get on my level, Rami!
