Chainsaw (Doom Eternal)



The chainsaw returns as a weapon in Doom Eternal, with much of its functions and appearance based on its previous counterpart from Doom (2016). It remains a limited-use "power weapon" which can be used to kill even powerful enemies quickly, so long as sufficient fuel is available. Kills made with the chainsaw reward the player with ammo drops. It cannot be taken out as a seperate weapon, although it has a special key assigned to it to make it easier and quicker to use it against demons to get ammo drops. The chainsaw now has a maximum of three fuel units, with one always recharging.

On the side of chainsaw the "Dopesaw" name is written. It is possibly a reference to the Dopefish, which is also seen as a secret in the cultist Polar Base level.
