The Chainsaw is a weapon in Dead Rising.
It is a portable mechanical saw used for construction or woodcutting purposes. It is a heavy weapon that cannot be stored in Frank's inventory. It is gasoline driven, so it has to be switched on first and runs out of gasoline quickly.
Attacks
- Start Up: Tap the button to start up the chainsaw.
- Stationary: The chainsaw is capable of damaging targets by simply coming into contact with them after it has started up.
- Primary: Tap the button while running to swing the chainsaw.
- Secondary: Tap the button while standing still to swing the chainsaw in a circle. This attack will give Frank PP with each attack.
- Thrown: Hold down the trigger to go into aim mode and press the button to throw the chainsaw.
Trivia
- The speed of the primary attack is tied to movement speed, meaning that leveling up your speed stat and drinking quicksteps will also increase the speed of the chainsaw's swing.
- The word "HOMELITE" is stenciled on the side of the chainsaw and may refer to the worldwide power equipment manufacturer Homelite Corporation.
- It's durability can be increased by the Criminal Biography and Engineering books.
