Here is a combat guide for the Silent Hill 2 Remake. See how the Silent Hill 2 Remake's combat system works, some tips, and controls for the PS5 and PC here!
List of Contents
The Silent Hill 2 Remake is a third-person action game, as opposed to the classic survival horror style of the original PS2 version.
Unlike in the original game, you can now move freely in any direction. Evasion has also been added, allowing you to dodge and reposition during combat.
You now have the option to switch seamlessly between melee weapons and guns when fighting. The farther you progress in the story, the more weapons you'll obtain. Ammo is still scarce, so manage your use of it wisely.
Certain enemies are more prone to firearms, while others are weaker against melee strikes. Observe and learn enemy characteristics then engage them accordingly!
Some enemies, like the Bubble Head Nurse, will have melee openings if you can successfully dodge its string of attacks. It's recommended to bait out normal enemy attacks and adopt hit-and-run tactics.
List of All Monsters and Enemies
Even if you manage to land 1 or 2 hits, some enemies can still counter your melee attacks. To be safe, it's best to first stagger an enemy before committing to an all out melee combo.
Shooting enemies in the head or legs will often knock them off balance, creating an opening for you to land multiple melee attacks. If timed well enough, you can often kill normal enemies this way without using too much ammo and effort.
