	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 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 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 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.
