Summary

The Chainsaw is a deadly mechanical melee weapon released on October 17th, 2020, as a part of the V1.0.0 pre-beta release of Criminality. It is currently only available at Dealer and can be purchased for $400 with a level requirement of 40. It has unique traits like dealing multiple hits with one click, cannot typically be blocked, and can down, if not outright kill players very quickly. While holding the Chainsaw you have less jump power and movement speed, however you are given a speed boost when attacking with it, although even with said boost, targets can easily outrun you.

Usage & Tactics

The Chainsaw is possibly the deadliest weapon available when it comes to Close-Quarters-Combat[CQC], as it can dismember your limbs before you can react, likely killing you in the process. The Chainsaw also features one of the most powerful stuns in the game, nearly fully stopping any player hit by a single tick. When combined with Rage Dose and played smartly, wiping an entire gang could be considered an easy task. Due to its hefty stamina usage it's recommended to make sure to get the jump on your opponents and get them to a killed/downed state in one attack to prevent depletion of stamina. The Chainsaw is also very good at killing armored players, possibly even capable of downing a T-3 Kit with one full attack. When using the Chainsaw, it is recommended to lure targets into confined spaces and alleyways, as this will help to negate most of the mobility issues people encounter when using the Chainsaw. Pairing it with throwables like the Flashbang and Stun Grenade make for great combos, as they can leave your target completely vulnerable and unable to counter you homing in for the kill. Furthermore, using the Chainsaw does not require you to aim for the head or any other specific part of the body, and only requires you to hit your ticks onto your target. With the title of most expensive melee, most players would say that it underdelivers at face value. It's a tediously difficult weapon to master, however with enough practice and skill it can become one of the most devastating weapons in the game.

Blocking

Patch history

The Chainsaw is currently one of the two melee weapons in-game that is capable of hitting the same target multiple times during its 'activation period'. This trait is shared with the ERADICATOR. The Chainsaw also shares another unique trait with the ERADICATOR, that being a continuous idle sound while the weapon is equipped. Prior to the changes in the Unlocking system, the Chainsaw's unlocking price was $50,000. Prior to the V1.2.0 update, the price was $1,001. The Chainsaw is often regarded as one of the worst melees in the game, as it is quite hard to land shots and easy to evade it. It is mostly bought as a joke or for intimidation, although some skilled players may shred entire gangs with it. The sounds of the Chainsaw are from the game Left 4 Dead 2. The "AHH, FRESH MEAT!" sound effect that plays upon finishing with the Chainsaw is from Diablo 1, when The Butcher sees the player. Ever since the V1.3.0 revamp, the Chainsaw can be found inside of red Scrap Piles. However, this was removed with the new crate system. Mobility, slot usage, and tick-rate were buffed in V1.3.0. The legacy Chainsaw mesh can be found in the Roblox Studio toolbox by searching 'chainsaw'. When it was first introduced, the Chainsaw acted like a stronger Fire Axe, having almost the same attack pattern but capable of doing much more damage and only cutting heads instead of obliterating them. it's drawbacks were the slower delay when attacking, mobility, and the very expensive price of $1k (in comparison to the $375 of the Fire Axe).
