Silent Hill 2 Remake - How To Get The Hunting Rifle

As a seasoned survivor of the twisted labyrinth that is Silent Hill, I can attest to the sheer satisfaction of acquiring the Hunting Rifle in the remake of this haunting game. This bad boy is not just a pretty sight; it’s a lethal weapon that can take down even the most formidable enemies with a single shot.


In the remade version of Silent Hill 2, the Hunting Rifle stands out as one of the deadliest weapons a player can obtain. It dishes out significant damage with each shot and works particularly well against formidable foes and bosses.

Despite having a slower rate of fire because of its extended reload period between shots, this weapon deals substantial harm. Here’s a guide on locating the Hunting Rifle in the Silent Hill 2 Remake.

You must explore the Toluca Prison area to get the Hunting Rifle in Silent Hill 2 Remake.

As soon as you step into the prison, you’ll notice a rifle kept securely within a case in the armory room of the warden’s office, which is situated on the first floor (1F). However, you won’t be able to take it right away since the key is stored somewhere else.

A note near the cabinet indicates that its key was pilfered by an inmate, necessitating a sequence of tasks spanning various prison sectors for its recovery.

Initially, you should collect the heaviest item from the church premises. After securing the heaviest item, make your way to the prison courtyard where you’ll encounter a puzzle involving scales.

To solve the puzzle, place the Heaviest Weight on one side of the scale and the Medium Weight (found later) on the other. Now, you have only the Heaviest Weight, enough to tip the scales and open the Snake Door.

Upon passing the door, proceed exploring this section until you find the execution chamber on Death Row. There, you’ll face the Electric Chair Challenge. The electric chair operates via a generator situated outside the execution room.

To avoid a total shutdown of the generator, you should follow a particular sequence of switching levers: First, flip switches 4 and 3, then switch 6, followed by 1 (twice), 3 again, 2, 5, 1 once more, 2 again, and finally 3 one last time. After this sequence, pull the main lever to complete the process.

Once you’ve figured out the Electric Chair Riddle, you’ll come across the Medium-Weight Item on the electric chair. This discovery will unlock the previously inaccessible Witness Checkpoint. The rifle key can be found on a nearby desk.

Grab the key from that location and take it to the armory. Luckily, the checkpoint guides you back to the central hall, making your journey to the armory swift.

Now that you have the key, you can unlock the rifle case and claim the Hunting Rifle.

Be mindful that rifle bullets are scarce, so take your shots thoughtfully during confrontations. Also, remember that the rifle takes time to reload, so ensure you’re in a secure position before firing or during extended conflicts.
