Basic Chainsaws

A heavy-duty gas-powered chainsaws for DayZ. Cut down trees, split logs, and turn it into one of the most brutal melee weapons in the game.

Features

  • Custom gas-powered chainsaw, replacing the vanilla chainsaw with 3 unique model/texture variants
  • Needs fuel, a spark plug, and a chain to run — missing or ruined parts shut it down
  • Removable, damageable chain attachment — wears out with use and can snap mid-cut
  • Fuel tank system — refill from gas canisters, burns fuel while idling and cutting
  • Dedicated chainsaw oil item — skimp on oil and your chain wears out 5x faster
  • Live on-screen fuel & oil gauge with color-coded bars, shown only while the saw is running
  • Full engine audio — startup, idle loop, throttle up/down, and shutdown sounds
  • Engine smoke effects while running
  • Fell trees over multiple realistic cutting cycles, dropping logs and planks (smaller trees yield less)
  • Leaves a cut stump behind after a tree is felled
  • Split logs into planks using the saw
  • Devastating melee weapon — heavy bonus damage against zombies and players, with blood splatter on hits
  • Passive danger zone — a running saw damages anything standing too close to you, not just what you swing at
  • Sparks fly when the bar grinds against metal/hard surfaces while revving
  • Realistic wear — the engine, chain, and spark plug all take damage and can break, repairable with toolkits
  • Fully server-configurable via JSON — admins can tune fuel/oil rates, damage values, yields, and melee power
