Death Stranding 2 SL Tranq Handgun is a silenced, non-lethal weapon that you will have to unlock by increasing connection levels.

While the Tranq Sniper Rifle is an excellent option for long-range engagement, the SL Tranq Handgun in Death Stranding 2 can be useful for pesky troubles close to you. Unlike the former, the latter is a silenced gun, meaning it won’t give away your position every time you take a shot. Like other weapons in DS2, you will have to progress in-game to unlock the SL Tranq Handgun.
