All Weapon Locations and How to Get Them

Wooden Plank Location

Wooden Plank Wooden Plank Location
Apartment Complex on Martin Street

The Wooden Plank is the first weapon you get in the Silent Hill 2 remake. It's in an apartment complex on Martin Street in Eastern South Vale. You get it automatically in a cutscene where a Lying Figure attacks you.

Steel Pipe Location

Steel Pipe Steel Pipe Location
Katz Street

The Steel Pipe is the second melee weapon you find, and will replace your Wooden Plank. You get it after a cutscene in Katz Street, after James uses the Wooden Plank to lock a gate.

Handgun Location

Handgun Handgun Location
Room 217 of Wood Side Apartments

The Handgun is the third weapon and first gun you find in the Silent Hill 2 Remake. You can find it in a red cart in Room 217 of Wood Side Apartments. Some handgun ammo is conveniently placed nearby.

Shotgun Location

Shotgun Shotgun Location
Brookhaven Hospital

You can find the Shotgun once you reach Brookhaven hospital. It's located in the Women's Locker Room, which is west of the second floor.

Hunting Rifle Location

Hunting Rifle Hunting Rifle Location
Toluca Prison Armory

The Hunting Rifle is locked in a gun display case in the Toluca Prison Armory. You need the Armory Key to unlock the case.

Chainsaw Location

Chainsaw Chainsaw Location
Unlocked in New Game Plus

The Chainsaw is only available in New Game Plus, which is unlocked after beating the game at least once. You find it pretty early into your new game, on the path towards the Silent Hill Ranch. It sticks out from a pile of logs, so it's hard to miss.

Best Weapons in the Silent Hill 2 Remake

Chainsaw is the Strongest Weapon

The Chainsaw

The Chainsaw is the strongest weapon in the Silent Hill 2 Remake because it can literally one-shot any enemy in the game. The downside is that it's hard to use on enemies that are on the wall and it's only available in New Game Plus.

Chainsaw Location

Shotgun is the Overall Best Weapon

The Shotgun

The Shotgun is the best weapon to use in the Silent Hill 2 Remake. It can defeat any enemy by using one or two bullets, it can be used to shoot enemies on the walls or ceiling, and it can shoot multiple enemies at once.

Shotgun Location

Handgun is the Most Reliable Weapon

The Handgun

The Handgun is the most reliable weapon in the Silent Hill 2 Remake. Although it doesn't provide much damage compared to the Shotgun, it can still be used to immobilize enemies and shoot them from a distance.

Handgun Location
