The Tesla Rifle is an unlockable weapon in Silent Hill: Origins, obtained only after the UFO Ending has been achieved. The weapon looks very futuristic and shoots unlimited electricity from its barrel in opposition to actual ammo. It serves a similar role to that of the Hyper Blaster from the first Silent Hill.
The electric beam appears to have a poor range, although in actuality its damage extends well beyond the visible area of effect.
Trivia[]
- The Tesla Rifle is a reference to an urban myth which stated that Nikola Tesla was, in fact, an alien from Venus, giving explanation to the revolutionary inventions he created.
- It is possibly a recycled model of a M16 rifle, as it has something similar to a signature M16 handle and an M16 stock. Its barrel also resembles that of an AR-15 Magpul MOE 6920.
