*SPOILERS* Jacket's not dead.

[Lasagna Eater]

A nuclear bomb isn't enough to kill Jacket ! The proof : In the bar of broken heroes, the characters are already dead (or are going to die)... And Jacket isn't here. Blastproof jail confirmed !

[future]

Radiation would kill him anyways

[Lasagna Eater]

Maybe... but he's not dead YET !

[V]

Jacket is DEAD. We can see him in the prison in the ending.

[Lasagna Eater]

He is in the prison... but not in the Bar of the Broken Heroes (it's a secret). This bar shows all dead characters, and people who are going to die

To be fair, this survival of the nuke, absence in the bar, AND abscence from the intro to hardmode are solid. It all perfectly coincides with "Shelter" before it was scrapped.

Richter's not in the bar either.

I suppose you're saying that since you can only see the walls around his room.

Or Hotline Miami 2 ending is just a dream... *-*

You guys seem to completely believe that the part where Jacket killed Biker in his side of the story is the 100% totally canonical version of Hotline Miami. Considering that after Jacket kills the Mafia boss, we play as Biker and see him defeat Jacket and either kill the Janitors, spare them, or find the truth and do either of those two and such, it's more likely that neither actually killed the other. This is even more likely due to the fact that the game is giving off a crazy techno drug induced rampage vibe constantly, as such really the only consistent thing about it's story is that it blurs the reality of the situations given to us.
Considering the writer is most definitely the only one most in his right mind out of the entire roster of characters given, it's highly unlikely that the bar of broken heroes is a hallucination of some sort.
All in all, the evidence seems to point to Biker actually living and continuing on to be an alcoholic who's gone completely out of his mind, and with that Jacket dying in the ending.

However, because of how reality seems to bend and break and then straighten out and repair itself only to do it again in this universe, you could be right.

Or maybe there wasn't even really a nuclear escalation in the ending? Only the developers know, and maybe they don't even really know themselves.

Well, it's extremely likely it's Richter's dream because, when Richter is "visited" at the end, I wonder why "He" appeared, even though it's not apparent that Richter is sleeping or awake at this point.
