How To Get The Chainsaw In Silent Hill 2 Remake

As a seasoned survivor of the twisted town of Silent Hill, I can confidently say that the return of the iconic Chainsaw in the Silent Hill 2 Remake is a breath of fresh, terrifying air. This brutal tool of destruction, capable of one-shotting even the most resilient monstrosities, has always been a fan favorite, and its inclusion in this remake only cements its status as a must-use weapon.


In various installments of Silent Hill, including Silent Hill 1, Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 4: The Room, and Book of Memories, the Chainsaw has been a unique weapon at your disposal. Given its historical significance within the series, it’s only fitting that this legendary tool reappears in the upcoming Silent Hill 2 Remake. With limited weapons available in the game to start, using the Chainsaw against monsters becomes all the more special and valuable.

In the reboot of Silent Hill 2, the Chainsaw stands out as one of the game’s most destructive weapons. It can instantly defeat all minor enemies with a single strike, and even if an enemy survives a hit and crawls on the ground, James can thrust the Chainsaw into it again, reducing it to nothing more than pulp. However, acquiring this powerful tool isn’t straightforward. For those who might be unclear about the process, here is a guide on obtaining the Chainsaw in Silent Hill 2 Remake.

In a nutshell, the Chainsaw may appear as an ideal weapon for players aiming to swiftly conquer the game, given its ability to quickly eliminate enemies. However, this extremely potent instrument is withheld until you’ve successfully completed the Silent Hill 2 Remake at least once.

After finishing the primary tale and achieving the initial ending for the Silent Hill 2 Remake, the New Game Plus option will become accessible within the main menu. In your subsequent journey through the game, there’s an opportunity for you to acquire the Chainsaw.

Where To Find The Chainsaw In New Game+

In a New Game+ run for the Silent Hill 2 Remake, you can snag the Chainsaw fairly early on. Once you’ve ventured into the town and spoken with Angela, continue your journey until you reach the Silent Hill Ranch.

In the picture provided, you’ll spot a chainsaw lodged in a log, directly by the gate leading to the ranch. Once you retrieve this chainsaw, you can utilize it throughout your gameplay without worrying about refueling. The only inconvenience with the chainsaw is its persistent noise – even when it’s not being used, you’ll still be able to hear it.

Using the Chainsaw significantly speeds up your progress through New Game+ mode since enemies fall quickly upon being struck. It’s a far more potent weapon compared to the makeshift weapons you initially have from past playthroughs, like wooden planks or metal pipes. Moreover, if you remain stationary for a moment, James will perform some distinctive actions with the Chainsaw, reminiscent of the original Silent Hill 2.
