Most useful weapons in Silent Hill 4

Post by Shadow »

What did everyone think was the most useful weapons in Silent Hill 4?

Personally, I thought the baseball bat for Henry and the nightstick for Eileen since both weapons are powerful, don't break and are quick to use.

The Miriam/Billy axe for Henry. The chain for Eileen.

^Seconded.
I also like the pick axe of Dispair sometimes - although really hard to use, it was fun!

Axe is an all-around great utility weapon, pickaxe perfect speedrunner's weapon. Steel pipe you're stuck with for a decent time, and it works alright 'til then. Handgun + silver bullet is a lifesaver.

The axe and the bat were the best.

Nothing was more badass than Eileens Handbag!

Pickaxe of Despair is devastating. Too bad you get it late in the game plus it's tricky to use at full power.

doesn't henry turn into a vortex of confused doom at full power with the pickaxe? l always stocked up the golf clubs and used them near the end of the game. before l say "four" l usually use the hand axe. l don't give eileen a weapon therefore no reason for her to waste time fighting something when l gotta jam.

I cannot really say what my favorite weapon was... but I can say for sure that my least favorite was ANY golf club... At first I was like, Sweet, a golf club!... And the.... Another one! Awesome!... After my 1000th club which breaks in two minutes, I was like... these things are terrible!

Except for the part of the signature explaining that I don't.
And that.

Axe! No weapons for Eileen.

Taser is also very useful.

The Pickaxe of Despair. It's especially handy if you want to end the final boss fight sooner and get the other endings.

I only equip Eileen with a weapon when I need a little extra help killing monsters or bringing down a victim (Andrew, especially).

Rusty Axe is my favorite. The Pickaxe of Despair is very powerful and can kill Walter in the final fight with 10 charge hits(on Hard level), but it's slow, so I don't use it much. On One Weapon Mode I always choose the rusty axe.

Chain for Eileen (Whip those monsters, girl!) And Aluminum Bat for Henry.

If you can unlock the SMG, that's great too 8)

I would have loved the Golf Clubs if they didn't break, before they did they worked great for me. The axe is best other then that, and for Eileen the chain... But mine is normally posessed so I don't like her having a weapon :shock:...
I hated that the chainsaw was so useless...
But here's a fun fact: The golf clubs, work freaking great for killing Walter at the boss battle. I tried killing him only with bullets, (Playing again that is) ended up having to get a game over because all I brought was guns and bullets, second time I just brought golf clubs and only used a few and it brought him down O.O

Most people say Henry's a pervert because of looking through the peephole to Eileen's room, but here's the thing: Your not required to do that, it's the players choice.
So whose the pervert now :P?

I like the rusty ol' pipe, it is my faithful companion in all the SH games. As for Eileen, it's probably the whip or whatever the hell it was.
