Chainsaw upgraded is a gameplay mod for DOOM Eternal that reduces the chainsaw's cooldown from 20 seconds to 6, increases fuel ammo per canister from 1.3 to 3, and makes tougher demons require 2 fuel units to kill. It's for players who want more frequent chainsaw use without trivializing combat.

✨ Key Features

Reduces chainsaw cooldown from 20 seconds to 6 seconds.
Each fuel canister now provides 3 units of ammo instead of 1.3.
Prowler, carcass, revenant, whiplash, and maykr zombie require 2 fuel units to kill.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Chainsaw becomes a viable tool for frequent use, not just a last resort.
  • Fuel economy is significantly improved, letting you chainsaw more often.
  • Balanced by making tougher demons cost more fuel, so you can't spam it on heavies.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2020 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
  • Only affects chainsaw mechanics; if you're looking for broader gameplay changes, this is too narrow.
🎯 Is This For You?
For DOOM Eternal players who love the chainsaw but hate the long cooldown and want to use it more aggressively. Skip if you prefer the vanilla balance or want a more comprehensive overhaul.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to back up your original game files before replacing anything.
  • If you're using a mod manager, load this mod after other gameplay mods to avoid conflicts.
  • Test the new fuel costs on lower difficulties first to get a feel for the balance.
