How to Kill Bubble Head Nurses in Silent Hill 2 Remake
In theSilent Hill 2Remake, If you manage to sneak up on a Bubble Head Nurse when she’s distracted or when her head seems to be glitching, you may strike her from behind. A strong hit on the back usually knocks her down leaving her vulnerable.
Once she’s on the ground, just keep hitting her until she stops moving. This method works best when the nurse doesn’t notice you right away, so be quick and attempt to get behind her before she turns around.

The Nurse will try to swing at you with her pipe, but dodging her moves gives you a chance to get in close and land a hit without taking damage. Be careful though because if you get too close without dodging, she might land a hit instead.
For a safer option,try using a handgun or a shotgun. A handgun headshot will stagger the Bubble Head Nurse, giving you a window to land more shots or get close for a melee attack. Usually, it takes around three to four headshots to finish her off.
If aiming for the head seems too hard, you can also shoot her legs to knock her down. However, headshots remain the most effective method to put her out of commission quickly.
