How to Master the Chainsaw Mythic Weapon
The Chainsaw stands out as the most versatile weapon introduced this season. In addition to dealing 85 melee damage per slash against enemy players and tearing through wooden structures in milliseconds, the Chainsaw provides elite movement traversal:
- Revving Traversal Dash: Holding down primary fire propels your player forward at superhuman speeds, launching you over obstacles and across water bodies.
- Ground Slam AOE: Jumping from high structures and slamming down unleashes a 100-damage shockwave that knocks back opponents.
- Spawn Locations: Chainsaws spawn reliably inside Jack-o’-Lantern chests, glowing cauldrons at Freaky Fields, and as floor loot across Brawler’s Battleground.

- Answer the challenge to summon Billy riding his iconic tricycle accompanied by explosive trap minions.
- Maintain medium distance with an assault rifle to dodge his throwing blades, and defeat him to claim the Mythic Boom Billy launcher and unlimited Chug Splash drops.
