- Buying DLCs is not required to join missions from DLCs. Only a host has to have the DLC.
- All DLC maps up to The White House can be played without DLC for 1 time in Career mode. Career mode also does not require offshore fee.
- Career mode does not support One Down difficulty so it's impossible to get achievements related to it.
- Australian players can't obtain the Jacket Character Pack as Hotline Miami 2 is barred from sale there.
