In the critically acclaimedSilent Hill 2 Remake, players don’t have a huge selection of weapons to blast enemies with. But one of the most powerful weapons in the game is the Hunting Rifle, and getting it can make a huge difference in combat.
This rifle can take down enemies from a distance, which helps players feel a bit safer since the game often throws enemies at them out of nowhere. If you’re looking to survive longer and make fights easier, grabbing the Hunting Rifle should be a top priority. Here’s how players can find the Hunting Rifle and add some serious firepower to their inventory.
How to Get the Rifle in Silent Hill 2 Remake
The Hunting Rifle is locatedin a place called the Toluca Prisonarmory, which players won’t reach until the later stages ofSilent Hill 2 Remake. To get there, players first have to progress in the story until James visits the Silent Hill Historical Society building.
Once inside, players will head down a long staircase that takes them into a prison-like area underground. After making their way through this scary underground area, players will come across a square-shaped hole in the ground.

James needs to jump through this hole to reach an even lower level of the prison. From here, players will move forward and find another hole behind a door that is locked by a gate.
This gate is locked by a key item called the Spiral-Writing key, which can be found in a nearby room. Once they unlock the gate with this key, James will be able to drop down and finally reach Toluca Prison.
Getting the Armory Key and Solving the Puzzle
Once players make it into Toluca Prison, they’ll need to search until they find the armory. Inside the armory, they’ll see the Hunting Rifle locked away behind a weapon locker. To get their hands on it, players will need the Armory Key, which also involves solving several previous puzzles as they explore the prison inSilent Hill 2 Remake.
One important part of this is getting the Heaviest Weight item from a church-like area. This weight needs to be placed on a set of scales in the prison yard to unlock a door, called the Snake Door.

Once the door is open, players will have to navigate through the area, dealing with more enemies and puzzles, until they reach a section with an electric chair puzzle. Completing this puzzle opens several locked cells, which leads to a tough combat area where players will need to fight their way through enemies to move forward.
After making it through this intense section, players can finally unlock the armory’s weapon locker using the Armory Key. Inside, they’ll find the Hunting Rifle.
However, players should be careful with how they use it because ammo for the rifle is pretty limited. It’s a good idea to focus on each shot individually and not burn through ammo, and make sure it counts before pulling the trigger.
