I just pulled a sick clutch by being stupid.
On hotline miami day 2, I saw a civilian that looked like the hobo from the actual game, and decided to tie him up and bring him up to the vault. Everyone else died while I was slowly dragging the guy up there, so as soon as the assault ended, I freed the hostage for a heister, and together we saved the rest of the heisters. The host said before he died "hostiges arent important"
Glad I proved him wrong.
