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 chainsaws, 3 chainsaws
- Needs fuel, oil, 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
- On-screen fuel & oil gauge, shown only while the chainsaw is running
- Full engine audio. Startup, idle loop, throttle up/down, and shutdown sounds
- Engine smoke effects while running
- Fell trees over multiple 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 chainsaw
- 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
- The engine, chain, and spark plug all take damage and can break, repairable with toolkits (Electronic Repair Kit)
- Fully configurable. Admins can tune fuel/oil rates, damage values, yields, and melee power
