Number 5: George
Kicking off the list we have our long necked friend George the giraffe. By wearing this mask, you are able to hold shift to look way past the map and be able to see the entire level. This allows you to easily map out the level and see how many enemies there are, how many weapons on the ground there are, and what possible strategies you can use to beat the level and get the highest score possible. This is perfect for first timers who have never seen the level before, or veterans who want to keep tabs on the enemy and not get any nasty surprises in the form of unforseen bullets
Number 4: Earl
Walrus’s are quite big in real life, so you can only imagine what this mask would give to you as a modifier. The ability to survive two bullets. Now I know you might be thinking, “Two bullets? That’s nothing!” In reality though, two bullets can be the difference between life and death especially if you have a more reckless and impatient playstyle. This mask allows those players who really wanna let loose shine, since it lets you get away with alot of plays you wouldnt normally get to make without that huge two bullet immunity, which lands this mask at the number 4 spot
Number 3: Ted
Dog are considered by most to be the most annoying enemy in hotline miami. With their incredible speed and altering patrol paths, they can be an absolute nightmare to deal with and put an end to many, many, many runs. Well, what if you could just ignore them completely? Ted the dog mask allows for just that, making dogs ignore you and not attack you, completely removing them as a threat to you and making you not have to worry about them at all which can be huge when trying to aim for that highscore
Number 2: Brandon
Getting the highest score in hotline miami consists of stringing together long combos which requires you to move around constantly to get to the next victim. This can cause some problems sometimes as Jacket may not move as fast as you would like him to. The solution? Brandon the panther gives jacket a huge permanent speed buff which lets him run around the map like a lunatic and easily string combos together like nothing. This can be absolutely essential in some levels which have long stretches between enemies and can allow for some crazy combos that can get you right where you need to be for that high score
Number 1: Zack
Finally, the number 1 pick for the best mask in hotline miami, as underwhelming as it is, is a frog. What can a frog possibly do to make it the best mask in the game? Well, its simple really, it extends the window that you have between kills to continue the combo. This may not sound that good, but those few extra seconds allow you to string together combos that lets you wipe out entire floors without stopping the combo once. This gives the biggest results for scores and makes it absolutely the best mask for highscores in Hotline Miami
