Firearms offer a safer, ranged option for dealing with Silent Hill's monsters, but their ammunition is scarce. Use them judiciously, especially against tougher enemies or in situations where melee combat is too risky.
List of Firearms
| Weapon | Location | Description | Ammunition | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Handgun | Wood Side Apartments, Apartment 105. | A standard pistol, reliable but not very powerful. | Handgun Bullets | Your most common firearm. Good for headshots on Nurses or finishing off weakened enemies. Conserve ammo. |
| Shotgun | Blue Creek Apartments, Apartment 105. | A powerful close-range weapon, effective against multiple enemies. | Shotgun Shells | Excellent for groups of enemies or staggering larger foes. Very limited ammo, use only when necessary. |
| Rifle | Brookhaven Hospital, Basement. | A long-range, high-damage rifle. | Rifle Bullets | Your most powerful firearm. Best for boss fights or quickly eliminating dangerous enemies from a distance. Ammo is extremely rare. |
Tips: Always aim for the head with firearms for critical damage. Don't waste shots on enemies that can be easily avoided or dispatched with melee. Reload only when safe.
