Pipes are common weapons that appear in nearly every Silent Hill game. They are sturdy metal pipes used as makeshift, but potent, weapons. Each protagonist usually finds a pipe fairly early on in their adventure. The pipe is typically a trusty and useful weapon until something better is found, usually an axe or something of the like.

Silent Hill[]

In Silent Hill, Harry Mason finds a pipe laying around in an alleyway, making it his second melee weapon and a vast improvement over the kitchen knife. It remains a useful weapon throughout the game, unless a very swift enemy is found, in which case the knife is recommended due to the fact that the pipe isn't as fast.

Silent Hill 2[]

SH2 SteelPipe

The steel pipe in Silent Hill 2.

In Silent Hill 2, James Sunderland may acquire a steel pipe after meeting Maria, found wedged into the hood of a smoking, sputtering car at Texxon Gas.

Despite having more range and power than the wooden plank, James cannot move while attacking and may have to re-position himself for certain enemies, making this weapon somewhat awkward to use.

Silent Hill 3[]

SH3 pipetime

The pipe's location in Cafe Paradise Noon.

In Silent Hill 3, Heather Mason finds the pipe during her visit to the shopping mall, where she finds the loose pipe sticking out of a wall inside Cafe Paradise Noon.

Like the first game, it quickly replaces the knife in usefulness; however, its power is later diminished by that of the katana, which is both faster and more damaging.

After completing the game, it is possible to get a silver pipe and a gold pipe in the sewers from the sewer fairy after answering a few questions honestly. These are only cosmetic changes and function in every way like the steel pipe. Heather comments about selling the gold pipe for money and using the silver pipe against vampires and werewolves.

One of the "stages" with the Memory of Alessa uses it too, when encountered on the carousel.

Silent Hill 4: The Room[]

Henry wielding the steel pipe.

In Silent Hill 4: The Room, Henry Townshend pries a thin, lead pipe from the newly-formed hole in his bathroom. It is Henry's first weapon and stays as a useful and trusty weapon from the start of the game until the rusty axe's higher damage and speed retire its use. Walter Sullivan also uses a pipe as his melee weapon at times, though he uses a thick, copper pipe.

Silent Hill: Homecoming[]

Alex preparing to use the pipe against a Feral.

In Silent Hill: Homecoming, Alex Shepherd finds a steel pipe in the garage of his home. The pipe serves its role as a well-balanced melee weapon. Its swings are weak but fairly quick, though still much slower than that of the combat knife/ceremonial dagger, and the fire axe deals considerably more damage. As such, it does not necessarily replace the knife as a main weapon. That does not make the pipe useless, however, because unlike previous games, weapons also function as tools. The pipe is useful whenever the player faces a Lurker.

The pipe can be used to "pry" things open, typically doors and gates. The pipe may eventually be replaced by the crowbar, which serves the same purpose, but deals more damage (though it remains weaker than the fire axe). The crowbar can be found in Hell Descent.

The pipe is also the second weapon Alex acquires after his imprisonment by the Order. After finding his belongings, if the player had the crowbar, the pipe is replaced again. Finally, Order Soldiers often carry pipes as their main weapon.

Silent Hill: Downpour[]

In Silent Hill: Downpour, Murphy Pendleton can find many steel pipes throughout his journey in the streets of Silent Hill. They are fairly strong and have high durability, but will eventually break, like any other weapon in the game.
