Silent Hill: Townfall's Most Frustrating Monster Is Getting Nerfed

The creators of Silent Hill: Townfall have heard the complaints about The Weight, a huge pursuer that appears during stealth sections and instantly kills the protagonist if it catches him. Since launch, these sequences have become one of the most common complaints from players, with The Weight criticized for its frustrating AI, drawn-out hiding sections, and harsh punishment for a single mistake.
Screen Burn is already working on balance changes and says the update is coming as soon as possible. Meanwhile, patch 1.3.1 has been released on PC, reducing gameplay stuttering caused by shader precompilation issues.The funny part is that players have already found a relatively safe way to escape him: keep a few unused Filled IV Bags in reserve, as these automatically revive the protagonist after a fatal hit. If one is equipped around Simon's neck when The Weight kills him, the monster simply runs off before Simon gets back up.
