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 Quickstep 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.
• Its durability can be increased by the Criminal Biography and Engineering books.
