Ohhhhh pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease! lets make it useful (and fun) in 1.2

Ideas:

Kills instantly, but you kill yourself whenever you roll or jump with it. (ever tried doing stunts with a chainsaw in your hand?)

Throwable, and continues to do damage while idle on the ground.

Doesn't kill instantly, but slows the opponent down while being striked (perhaps permenently).

Instead of constant fire/spin, can only be fired like a knife stabbing, or 'swiping'.

please? [:I]

*applause* Yes Chakra has solved the mighty chain saw puzzle. It would kind of double as a land mine if planted behind a bush.

'Kills instantly' strikes me as a bad idea, both because we already have enough kill-instantly weapons (especially the knife, which would be too similar) and because of the base-kill problems mentioned above. Ditto for knife-style slashing or throwing -- we already have a knife, no need to make the chainsaw into a knife clone. If it's going to be made any more similar, better to just remove it and put in a new secondary in its place... it's not like we need that many close-range attacks.

One idea might be to have the chainsaw heal you slightly as you damage people with it. It's a wierd idea, but at least it would make it more distinct from the knife...

Is it possible Michal that you could change chainsaw to another weapon or item (...) all who uses chainsaw anymore? not many only few players so i dont see much use for that so maybe it should be replace with other weapon/item...

I use it:)
I love when people stand and look at me ("what is he doing?") and then I chop their limbs off:))

The chainsaw was never intended to be a 'normal' weapon. It's rather a cool option.

"continues to do damage while idle on the ground."

That's the only bit I like, but alas, it's been suggested before.
