📋 About This Mod

MURDERING CHAINSAW

DESCRIPTION

The Chainsaw was made possible through hijacking the Buzz Saw's unique melee animations from the Automatron DLC. It should feel familiar to anyone who has played the Fallout 3 DLC The Pitt and used the Auto Axe, and indeed as well for anyone who has played New Vegas and used the Chainsaw in that game.

But nobody needs to have played Fallout to appreciate the unique role chainsaws play in the post-apocalypse.

The CHAINSAW features:

  • []Fully animated, rotating saw chains which bathe themselves in blood and gore []Multiple styles of saw teeth for inflicting maximum damage []Color customization options to fit every player's niche []Additional powerful attachments: 'Chainkebabs,' the mix between a Shishkebab and a Chainsaw, and more
Use the optional plugin to hand the chainsaw to enemies around the commonwealth - highly recommended.
