The Silencer is an item that can be equipped in Silent Hill 3.

PlasterWall

The plaster wall, corpse and silencer.

Heather Mason can find the item after breaking down a newly-plastered wall inside the construction site. The item can be equipped to the handgun or submachine gun, muffling the sound of the gunfire. This essentially makes it harder for monsters to locate where Heather is, or where the shot came from. It also serves to suppress the muzzle flash, a burst of light that naturally occurs from the end of the barrel after each shot, making it harder still for monsters to direct their attention to Heather. It works well against blind monsters that rely on sound, such as the Missionary.

Equipping this device comes with a penalty, though, as shots fired from any of these weapons will be slightly weakened.

Trivia[]

  • The silencer seems to be a nod to the Metal Gear Solid series, as Heather sees a pair of legs behind the wall wearing camouflage when she finds the silencer. According to the BradyGames strategy guide, the corpse behind the wall was supposed to be a cameo of Solid Snake, hence the military fatigues the corpse wears, and the silencer belonging to him. In the same vein, the concrete wall containing the silencer appears to be a nod to the armory wall puzzle in Metal Gear Solid, in which Snake has to find and destroy a differently colored wall in Shadow Moses in order to continue on.
