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 West's inventory. It is gasoline-driven, so it has to be switched on first.
Its durability can be increased by the Criminal Biography and Engineering books.
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 Frank's speed stats and drinking Quickstep will also increase the speed of the Chainsaw's swing.
- The word "HOMELITE" is stenciled on the side of the Chainsaw, referring to the real-life worldwide power equipment manufacturer Homelite Corporation.
