Silent Hill 3 Hints
Shotgun
1 of 3: The shotgun is an extremely powerful weapon. It is, however, heavy and difficult for Heather to use, so you can't fire it too rapidly. The shotgun does significantly more damage to an enemy at a close range, so try to fire it as close as you can, and you should have time to get away as the shotgun has quite a bit of stopping power. On the other hand, it can harm many clustered enemies if fired from a distance. It uses Shotgun Shells for ammo, which can be found in small purple packages scattered throughout the game.
2 of 3: The shotgun can be found on the 2nd platform of the subway station, inside the open door of a stopped subway train. Take it and rejoice.
3 of 3: You'll have access to this part of the 2nd platform after you get past the chained door.
