Chainsaw Buff

[tribal quarry]

Chainsaws are really cool in concept. A weapon that takes your health but is really powerful is such a neat concept, but in practice, they're chopped
Here's my idea for a rework!
Chainsaws can now break reinforced pillows, although destroying one increases the stuffing drain briefly
Chainsaws can also instantly break shields, but have the same brief increase as breaking reinforced pillows
Chainsaws also have a sort of "streak" mechanic, doing more damage the longer it's powered at a time, meaning high risk, high reward
Chainsaws have a chance to randomly power off every second, with the chance increasing each time the player or pillow is hit, needing to be pulled again

I like this

as the guy who got the whole concept of the chainsaw out (dm me if you want proof) this is a good buff for my fav weapon

and I didnt ENTIRELY think of the chainsaw I just sent it to gomes and got devs to look over it

[tardy ingot]

wow hampter so cool and sh1tttttttttttttttt

i didnt mean to hold t

[tribal quarry]

[winter saddle]

i dont think the reinforced pillow should be destroyed if you're not in creative since the whole point of it is to not be destroyed

[fervent shell]

Chainsaw is made to destroy blocks especially in creative

[tribal quarry]

Yeah but i like the idea of chainsaws being THE block breaking gadget

[raven badge]

the balance changes are pretty bad, and the chainsaw doesn’t need it, it’s meant to be a creative item, it literally says it’s meant to be used it creative mode when you try to use it in play mode

so I does not need any buffs

[hardy trail]

Yes I want to be a maniac and run at people comp viably

[kindred vortex]

people would destroy sky bases super fast if it could destroy reinforced

people spend time making those

[calm bobcat]

i REALLY don't like the idea of chainsaws breaking reinforced pillows but everything else is really good!!!

skybases would just go extinct because before you can vote kick the griefer the base it already gone

[tribal quarry]

Not necessarily

The brief drain increase stacks

By the time you break like 7 you're out of stuffing

[calm bobcat]

okay that's good then

as long as your base isn't teeny tiny you'd stand a chance

[slim axle]

make it so if u destroy more than 7-10 and the chainsaw is still on the debuff has 2x the power (every 7 blocks it would add a multiplier)

cuz there’s a cotton bug (idk if it got patched)

[tribal quarry]

You could even build it out of 2x2s instead of 4x4s

[calm bobcat]

oooooo smart think

[desert rain]

Lucky it does any damage at all, originally it did not

It never really needed, it’s just a bonus PvP item essentially

[tribal quarry]

yeah but its like such a cool idea

[winged radish]

skybases are COOKED

but I don't like the idea of gadgets breaking reinforced pillows in any context tbf

IMO chainsaws are more a silly thing you can mess about with more than an actual weapon, but I understand the appeal of it too

But that being said:

• The entire point of reinforced blocks is they can't be broken, being able to shred through them with a chainsaw is a bad idea even if it's super expensive
• They already have a decent matchup against shields and shields do NOT need more nerfs
• A streak system is an interesting idea on paper but it would be hard to predict and taking >1000 damage in one hit would be ridiculous
• Inconsistency is not a good counter-nerf

Yall

[cursive pivot]

Thank you chainsawman

[lethal crystal]

Breaking reinforced pillows gonna take you away more cotton than normal

[cursive pivot]

Chainsawman?

Cause you were using a chainsaw

And you’re a man

Oh yeah

[lethal crystal]

Meaning that you'd ran out of cotton faster if you try to grief a skybase with it

[brisk wing]

make it so I can duel wield chainsaws

[winged radish]

besides maybe creative mode ig

[hazy kite]

mostly

I like

just not power off percentage

other than that great idea imo

[last gorge]

and you can use theme in public wilds

[hazy kite]

are you talking to me?

orrrr

just not reply to someone

[slim axle]

mace does way too much damage and no one complains about it

[humble acorn]

Maces are really easy to dodge or block

[slim axle]

no?

[fringe bolt]

Jump in the air

[slim axle]

good point

[humble acorn]

You can jump over it or just block it with a shield, it's only one hit which is guaranteed to block even post shield nerf
