This Mutation is available in Campaign Mode. Rip apart thousands of zombies on your way to safety. You are armed with the only thing you need to survive a Zombie Apocalypse, a chainsaw. It was also invariably referred to on the HUD as the "super chainsaw." This is replaced by an actual functional fuel gauge in the final released version of the game.Chainsaw Massacre, Loving the Dark, Is Less More, and Last Video on Earth. It was speculated variously that this was meant to eventually serve as the maximum number of uses of the weapon altogether (before it would ostensibly run out of fuel, for example), or the maximum number of glory kills that the weapon could perform before it reverted to a less powerful form. Chainsaw users will lunge towards their target with each swing, and any missed swings will still deplete the chainsaw's available ammunition.Īn apparently incompletely coded ammo counter appeared on the HUD during the E3 2015 demonstration which displayed a static number 6 while the super chainsaw was in use.

The chainsaw will periodically respawn during matches in specific locations, and is available in Cataclysm, Chasm, Disposal and Helix.ĭue to the close-range nature of the weapon, it is best used against players rather than demons. A fresh chainsaw will have six ammunition available for use. The chainsaw is one of the power weapons available in multiplayer, thus sharing traits such as limited ammunition which cannot be replenished and an alternate firing mode that allows other players to be seen through walls via a form of x-ray vision. The following enemies cannot be killed using the chainsaw:

How much the enemy has been damaged before by other weapons does not matter. The fuel used to kill an enemy is static, and only depends on the type of enemy killed. There are no upgrades or modifications for the chainsaw. Killing enemies with the chainsaw causes a massive drop of ammunition for other weapons, making it a key way to restock supplies. The weapon is, for the first time, realistically limited by using fuel as ammunition, in order to balance its lethality and to provide a mechanic to encourage its use. The chainsaw is a quick-kill weapon, capable of destroying powerful enemies like the Hell knight and cyber-mancubus in a single well-placed hit.
