It's a secondary, and in fact its one of the weakest weapons in Soldat.Read my weapons guide, link in my signature, for a simpler description.The chainsaw is basically THE melee weapon.Unlike fists or when slashing a knife(who slashes with a knife anyway? It's meant to be thrown), you are not restricted to attacking enemies only directly in front of you and following a slow attack animation. In fact, the chainsaw works more like a gun - you can point it at any direction and start sawing REALLY fast, though you need to "reload". It's one of the only few weapons that can really own an entire group of enemies without the use of a Berserker kit.Contrary to the popular belief, the saw is both a 1-hitter and an automatic weapon (look at my weapon guide). The saw can't kill in one hit if it hits the leg, but because its slashes so fast (no one taps their saw, they'd hold it down all the way), it seems like it just kills in one hit, when in fact you're sawing the enemy multiple times at once.Unfortunately, the saw, being a melee weapon, is difficult to use and a lot of skill is required. But also because of its short range, using a saw in competitive gameplay is as good as useles No matter how fast you are or how good you are at surprising foes, you'd either miss or have no time to draw your saw out.Saw is only effective against other melee attackers or in less-skillful situations such as in public servers.

It's underpowered in competitive gameplay because competitive players are very aware and can take a sawer out very easily, even before he can reach him. Okay, maybe that's a little exaggerated, but it's really difficult for you to saw a competitive player unless the competition is a Saw competition.Adding a delay makes the Chainsaw more than underpowered already. Probably one of the worst ways to "balance" the chainsaw.
Last year, I dreamt I was pissing at a restroom, but I missed the urinal and my penis exploded.
*note: when attacking, the jump'n'prone, it is often useful, cause not many ppl know how to fight a good sawer
Don't insult saw users by saying it takes no skill to kill with. Sure, it requires less aim and allocation of ammo, but the process of actually reaching an opponent without dying requires a vast use of manuevering skill + timing -- far more than simply pressing F to chuck your knife at someone. As I see, most everyone here agrees that the saw is underpowered, so how can you say someone is unskilled for getting kills with it?Make the saw throwable, but not lethal like the knife. That'd be fun

Wouldn't it be cool to have a lawnmower instead of chainsaw?

Its funny to mod funny to use and is generally not a skill weapon and more down to who has the lower ping.
