Silent Hill: Townfall All Weapons and Pistol-3000 Location

A standard playthrough of Silent Hill: Townfall gives you access to only 3 firearms, not counting Planks and Pipes for melee combat, as well as Bricks and Bottles that can be used against enemies or thrown to distract them. New Game+ adds the Axe to your arsenal, while completing the secret Sci-Fi Ending unlocks the legendary Pistol-3000 for subsequent playthroughs. Below, we'll explain exactly where to find every weapon, how to unlock the secret Sci-Fi Ending, and where to pick up the futuristic weapon afterward.

The Pistol becomes available in Part 2 while playing as Zoe. Once control returns to Simon, head to the Town Square and open the box labeled Richard's Gift. The weapon is inside. It deals enough damage to kill a standard enemy in two shots, making the Pistol a reliable option throughout the first half of the game until you find something more powerful.

The Flare Gun is found in Part 4 at Clara Woods. Head to the CEG Lockers and pick up the barcode, then enter code 184 on Locker 75. The Flare Gun is hidden inside. A direct hit is enough to kill a standard enemy in one shot, but ammunition is limited, so it is better saved for the most dangerous enemies.

The Shotgun is easier to obtain than the other firearms. It is given to you automatically in Part 5 while playing as Richard, immediately after he enters the CEG Tower. There is nothing you need to search for, as the weapon is added to your inventory automatically. It deals enough damage to kill a standard enemy with a single shot.

The Axe is a New Game+ weapon and becomes available regardless of which ending you received during your first playthrough. In Part 1, it can be found in a garage. From the starting area, head toward Shore Wynd and open the white gate. On the right, you'll find a garage door with the Axe behind it.

A second Axe can be found a little later in Part 2 while playing as Zoe. Enter the back garden of the house to the right of Mister Stewart's house, where you'll find the Axe leaning against a wooden shed. It can kill a standard enemy with a single hit.

This is the most powerful weapon in the game. The Pistol-3000 is a futuristic energy weapon with unlimited ammunition that vaporizes enemies with a single shot. You cannot simply pick it up on your first run. First, you need to unlock the secret Sci-Fi Ending in New Game+. After that, the Pistol-3000 becomes available in subsequent NG+ playthroughs. Below, we'll go through the entire process step by step. If you've already unlocked this ending, feel free to skip the next section.

You'll need to find 3 Strange Books and one Strange Access Card, then use the card in the correct place near the end of the story.

The first Strange Book is inside Zoe's House in Part 1. After returning from the Otherworld, head to Zoe's House opposite the newsstand and go upstairs. In the bedroom, you'll find the book underneath the bedside table. Make sure to examine it on the spot rather than simply picking it up, otherwise it will not count toward the ending.

The Strange Access Card is tied to the hotel door puzzle in Part 2. Once control returns to Simon, pick up Richard's Gift to gain access to Shorefront District – Different. As soon as the surroundings turn red, head to the Hotel and go upstairs. There is a door with 25 symbol buttons.

To open it, press the symbols in this exact order: Bird, Tree, Planet, Bird, Trinity, Satellite, Satellite, Fish, Rocket, Planet, Dog, Monument. If you enter the sequence correctly, the door will open. Inside, pick up the Strange Access Card near the elephant statue. Once you have it, simply continue through the story as normal until Part 4. You will not need to use the card until near the very end.

The second Strange Book is found in Part 4 at Clara Woods, inside Stenhouse End of Life Hospice Care. The building is already accessible as part of the story and stands opposite the phone booth in Atlas Square. Go inside and immediately turn left. You'll find a bookshelf with the book, which once again needs to be examined rather than simply picked up.

The third Strange Book is hidden in Part 6 while playing as Simon, inside SWDP – Different. First, complete the Remote Systems Control puzzle. After that, you'll be able to freely use the console to unlock doors. Unlock Room 621 if it is still closed, then head downstairs and enter. The room is opposite the one containing Valve F, and the third book can be found on a shelf inside.

After solving the Clamps puzzle, turn the red valve to release the container. A shutter door will then open, allowing you to continue. Follow the corridor as usual, but before going through the door at the end, stop at the keycard reader on the left wall. Use the Strange Access Card you obtained from the Hotel.

The reader will turn green, and a message will appear saying that the character feels sluggish, like he needs to wake up. Go through the door afterward. The story scene will begin as normal, but it will unexpectedly transition into the alternate ending. This means you have successfully unlocked the Sci-Fi Ending.

Once you've seen the alternate ending at least once, the Pistol-3000 becomes available in all subsequent New Game+ playthroughs, with two different locations where you can pick it up.

The first location is near the very beginning of the game, in Shorefront District – South. From the starting point, head toward Shore Wynd and open the white gate. On the right, you'll find a garage door. This is the same location where you can pick up the Axe in New Game+. After completing the Sci-Fi Ending, a room glowing green will become accessible here, with the Pistol-3000 inside. Picking up the weapon unlocks the Future Hardware trophy.

The second location becomes available later in Part 5 while playing as Richard. Enter the Boardroom on Floor 5. The weapon is lying directly in front of the phone used to save the game. This option is convenient because you do not have to rush back to the starting area and can simply pick up the weapon while following the normal story route.

With the Pistol-3000 in your hands, subsequent playthroughs become a breeze. Its ammunition never runs out, and any enemy can be vaporized with a single shot, so many players use the weapon specifically when going for the speedrun achievement or simply to enjoy another run through Silent Hill: Townfall without worrying about survival.

During a normal playthrough, ammunition is limited, so use firearms wisely, avoid unnecessary fights, and save your bullets for dangerous enemies. Once you unlock the Pistol-3000, this problem almost disappears thanks to its unlimited ammunition.
