Metacide Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It's terrible, please remove until it can be balanced. Just saw a round where two traitors used them and killed most of a crew of 70+, with none making it to the shuttle. To quote TheDZD: it "costs less than dual eswords, does 50 damage (dual eswords do 34), acts as dual riot shields, and is almost guaranteed to dismember on hit". It stunned 100% of the time according to the person using it. It deflects all but lethal projectiles. Looked really terrible, even if it's only used relatively rarely. TheDZD could provide more info, I'm sure. tl;dr: most out of large crew died myself included, wasn't fun, i'm salty, remove pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacemanspark Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 This is... the third? Fourth? thread we've had about nerfing the chainsaw. Half tempted to do it myself, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldflame Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Bumping it up to 14 or making it nukeops only would fix the majority of the issues with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metacide Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Considering it blocks virtually everything, I think it'd be a good idea to make that visible and obvious or remove / reduce the chance - people kept trying to disarm / disable / taser / laser people using it, and none of those work at all because it magically blocks them, which you wouldn't expect from a chainsaw. There also is no click delay, I heard, making it tremendously lethal. It did seem that it was ragingly madly OP in many ways - I don't think bumping up the cost a little will change anything.

An extra TC of cost precludes buying stimulants at the same time, which is the main reason it's considered OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZD Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/1407 Buying stimulants will still largely negate the stuns, but this should alleviate the issue of it blocking almost every single disabler/taser/laser shot fired at the holder.

Wisp Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I do like these changes. The inability to block lasers and tasers plus No Drop should hopefully make it so the crew actually runs from a chainsaw now while keeping it in line with its niche as a crowd control melee weapon.
