Most useful weapons in Silent Hill 4
Moderator: Moderators
Henry Bug Spray. Instant multiple kills on White/Toadstools.
Henry Paper Cutting Knife. Grants invincibility in a pinch if utilized correctly.
Eileen USMG. Because I only like the final boss fight only when it's really tense—with a majorly possessed Eileen. But if I'm not being a dirty cheater then any weapon will suffice with Eileen; they're all one hit stuns, so I don't even care if she's only using her handbag.

Wow, from what I've heard a lot of people don't like the knife.Kerrigan wrote:Henry Bug Spray. Instant multiple kills on White/Toadstools.

I liked the Rusty Axe and the chainsaw. (the chainsaw is mostly for the dance.)
But for Eileen, I think her handbag, because she hits Walter like a rude grandma to a ruder stranger.

Overall, the Rusty Axe is the most useful with its charge attack and the fact you're practically invulnerable during the charge attack animation.
However, with the final boss fight on Hard mode when I'm trying to save Eileen I prefer to use the spade for these reasons:
1. It's charge attack is slightly more powerful than that of the Rusty Axe.
2. The charge attack takes less time to execute than the Rusty Axe which saves you precious seconds.
3. Charging the spade is quicker than charging the axe.
I just couldn't seem to nail him down in time to save her so I resorted to this and finally did it. Only real time I ever recommend using the spade.

The invulnerability of the axe's power attack makes it my preferred weapon. Stand back and charge it up - he automatically moves forward when the attack is released. The stun-gun is nice but it only works on a couple of creatures. You still need to carry something else for mothbats ...etc. I only ever used the SMG the first time I unlocked it. At first it seemed okay, but any advantages gained in fights by using it are offset by all of the times when she just freaks out and you can't get her to follow you quickly. The paper knife is fast enough to interrupt the patient monster's attacks - I don't think any other weapon is that quick.
Ultimately the axe's power attack just looks the coolest - the only improvement I would have liked is if it could split those double-heads down the middle.

Re: Most useful weapons in Silent Hill 4
the paper cutter knife just sucks. the axe is better for closer combat.
and the bat is better than the pipe. always remember to upgrade to the bat.

The broken wine bottle is a good weapon against those slugs and dogs. Not sure about the other monsters.
The paper cutter just sucks.

I'd say the aluminum bat and the ax, and the chain for eileen....i did like the revolver with the silver bullet to take down certain boss ghosts of the game...it really came in handy when i had to fight that one ghost that hovered above you rolling around in the air, within the tower level.
You had to wait for him to come within range for the bat or ax, and by that time your necklace(forgot the name of it) would eventually break....as soon as i seen him, i'd shoot him with a silver bullet and pin him. It also came in handy against jasper.
