Don't underestimate how good these are especially in the early game when you need to hold on to ammo. You can pick them up off enemies or find a bunch of them knocking around Union. Hand Axe: These single use melee weapons do a lot of damage but break once you've swung them. You have to unlock the Brass Knuckles by beating the game on Nightmare or higher difficulty. It works at a push, but is mainly for smashing crates open or for stealth kills on enemies.īrass Knuckles: This delivers brutal beatdowns but you won't be able to use the axe at the same time. Survival Knife: This is thrust into your shoulder during Chapter 2.
Where to find all weapons in The Evil Within 2 Melee weapons While out hunting keep an eye out for Mysterious Objects and make sure you know the locations of every safe house so you can save whenever you pick up something cool/deadly. The upside to all this scavenging is that once you're better armed, you have less to fear while wandering around the town so it really does pay to spend an hour or two tracking down the best weapons for your choice of going loud or silent killing. And if you want to go for a more tactical approach to The Evil Within 2 you're going to want to pick up the Warden Crossbow and craft bolts. Some gear and weapons will only appear after you've completed a side mission, so keep that in mind. While you'll pick up some weapons playing through the more linear chapters, it pays to go out of your way and hunt down the better kit which you can find in buildings and rooftops. The Evil Within 2's open-world structure in the town of Union means that there are plenty of weapons, ammo and other helpful gear, but a lot of it is stashed out of the way. The Evil Within has a lot of weapons hidden around the town of Union, but you're going to have to hunt them out if you want to gear-up for the bigger confrontations.
