Chainsaw

The Chainsaw is a maintenance tool being used by the player and the Chainsaw Guys as a melee weapon.

Concept and Creation
The Chainsaw has been there since the beginning of the DOOM franchise, and it has been considered as one of DOOM 's most iconic weapons. In most of the games, the chainsaw does not use ammunition of any kind. It was not until DOOM (2016) that id Software and Bethesda Softworks decided to create a more realistic approach by adding in fuel as ammunition.

Wanting to pay more homage to the classic games, Mad Squirrel Mods decided to keep the Chainsaw as not requiring ammunition.

History
The Chainsaw has existed even long before the founding of the Union Aerospace Corporation. A tool used for purposes of maintenance, demolition, and construction, it is sharp enough to even be used as a weapon. There are laws that prohibit employees from using the Chainsaw as a weapon, but those laws did not apply to Doomguy while using it against the demonic invaders on Mars in 2022.

Design
The design is no different from any other Chainsaw. It is powered by fuel, it has a front top handle for holding it, and it has small blades that cycle back and forth that can cut through steel. It gives a series of clicking sounds while running, and the cycling of the blades will accelerate for the user to begin cutting. While spinning fast, the Chainsaw will start making a buzzing sound.

Trivia
