Warning: There will be spoilers ahead for Silent Hill 2’s Wood Side Apartments section.
Finding the 2F Hallway Key
Using theChute Courtyard Key(found in a drawer next to theflashlight you found earlier), open the door to the east of the front desk that leads to the courtyard. Once outside, find themovable dumpsterand move it below the window ofApartment 112. Climb up the dumpster and through the window, then turn right in to the hallway and head all the way (past the corner) until you reach a gate. Try to grab the key on the other side, then watch the cutscene that triggers.
Laura kicks the key down the hallway, so now you must backtrack all the way to the lobby, and then head through the east doors toApartment 107. Just outside the door to the apartment, the2F Hallway Keywill be on the floor to collect.
Finding the Handgun
Make your way back to the lobby, and then up the stairs (by the mailboxes) to the second floor. Upon entering the second floor hallway, the door to the 2F hallway will bedirectly to your left. Open it, and then head straight toApartment 213. On the west wall of the living room, there will be a hole in the wall to squeeze through. Once through, simply go through the door toApartment 217and collect the Handgun weapon from thered shopping cartin the middle of the room.
You can now equip the Handgun by pressing left on the directional pad. The right trigger will still serve as the only way to equip the melee weapon, so be sure not to aim your gun when going in for a swing. Note that the only way to fire your gun is to aim it first (there’s no hipfire).
