Normal Weapons | Next Fear Weapons

Normal Weapons (top)
These can be found in the regular game on the first round through.

--Handgun--

Location:	5to2 Cafe
Power:	Moderate
Range:	Moderate
Handling:	Moderate
Bullets:	15

"Handgun received from Cybil. Holds up to 15 rounds."

Harry's trusty first weapon given to him by Cybil in the beginning of the game. It is relatively weak but useful for dispatching the various creatures throughout the town, particularly the flying creatures.

--Kitchen Knife--

Location:	5to2 Cafe
Power:	Poor
Range:	Terrible
Handling:	Poor
Bullets:	0

"Hard to use, but better than nothing."

Found in the Cafe in the beginning of the game, the knife is weak and must be used at extremely close range. It's basically a waste a software and is not recommended for use -- ever.

--Steel Pipe--

Location:	Alley
Power:	Moderate
Range:	Poor
Handling:	Moderate
Bullets:	0

"3' long steel pipe. Long range but of limited use."

A melee weapon with significant strength, with range superior to the knife. It is found in "Cheryl's Alley" when Harry goes back the second time. Early in the game, the pipe is useful indoors against child demons and what-not.

--Shotgun--

Location:	School Bathroom or Police Station
Power:	Great
Range:	Moderate
Handling:	Moderate
Bullets:	6

"Fires in a wide radius. Holds up to 6 rounds."

The shotgun is an all-around decent weapon, from its wide-range blast radius to it's sheer power. It's to be saved for the bosses before Harry finds the Hunting Rifle, but it is also useful for taking down large groups of enemies when ambushed.

--Emergency Hammer--

Location:	Hospital Basement
Power:	Great
Range:	Poor
Handling:	Moderate
Bullets:	0

"Emergency hammer. Highly damaging, but hard to use."

The hammer is used similarly to the steel pipe, but it has much more power. It can be found in the generator room of the Alternate Hospital basement. Opinions will differ on whether or not the hammer is greater than the Katana.

--Axe--

Location:	Antique Shop
Power:	Moderate
Range:	Poor
Handling:	Poor
Bullets:	0

"Small one hand axe. Moderately effective as a weapon."

The axe has about as much range as the knife and not much more strength. These two melee weapons may actually be amusing if you're looking for a challenge.

--Hunting Rifle--

Location:	Town Center Basement
Power:	Excellent
Range:	Great
Handling:	Moderate
Bullets:	6

"Holds up to 6 rounds."

The hunting rifle is the most powerful conventional projectile weapon in the game. It also has an exceptionally long range. Reserve it for boss fights.

Next Fear Weapons (top)
These are only available in subsequent rounds through the game in "Next Fear Mode."

In order to operate the Rock Drill or the Chainsaw, Harry must find the gasoline can that is located in the fueling station near the Church in Next Fear mode. During the first NF game (2nd overall), only one supply of gas will exist, thus Harry will have to make the choice of arming himself with only one of the two weapons. On the third round, a second can of gas will exist in Harry's inventory from the start; coupled with that found at the station, both weapons can then be acquired.

--Chainsaw--

Location:	Cut-Rite Chainsaws
Power:	Great
Range:	Poor
Handling:	Moderate
Bullets:	0

"Power tool used for cutting down trees, etc., highly deadly."

A powerful weapon, but it sometimes gets slow and is somewhat difficult to use properly. It is found in the broken display window of Cut-Rite Chainsaws (near the Church), and requires gasoline to operate.

--Rock Drill--

Location:	Under the Bridge Control Room
Power:	Great
Range:	Poor
Handling:	Moderate
Bullets:	0

"A tool used in road construction to create holes in the road for poles."

Like the chainsaw, it is powerful but hard to use. It is found in the lower level of the bridge control tower, and also requires gasoline to operate. The best thing about the drill and the chainsaw is that Harry holds them in such a way that enemies will take damage by simply running into him, without him actually striking.

--Katana--

Location:	House on Levin Street
Power:	Excellent
Range:	Moderate
Handling:	Great
Bullets:	0

"Traditional single edged Japanese blade."

Harry uses the katana while automatically rushing foward, allowing him to easily mop up groups of congregated, slower enemies. It is found in the locked room in the "Dog House" after completing the game an indefinite amount of times with different endings. The room will automatically be unlocked during the next round.

--Hyper Blaster--

Location:	5to2 Cafe
Power:	Poor-Extreme
Range:	Excellent
Handling:	Great
Bullets:	Infinite

"High-powered handgun with infrared scope and unlimited bullets."

A deadly weapon of extraterrestrial origin, the hyper blaster is fitted with a laser site allowing for ultimate accuracy. Harry will start a new game with this already stocked in his inventory after completing the Alien Ending (see the Endings section on this site). It has three power levels: red, yellow and green, in order from weakest to strongest, that are obtainable through higher rankings after completing the game. Complete the game with 8 Stars to get the yellow beam, and with 10 Stars to get the green. Red is default.
