Chainsaw

The Chainsaw is one of the weapons usable by Wryn during gameplay in Bleed, and one of the only two melee weapons (the other being the katana). It has a large, red chassis with an indistinguishable logo upon it in white paint, with a particularly long, wide blade, with small teeth visibly circulating on the edge. while equipped, the saw will make audible revving noises, and leave a trail of translucent plumes smoke in its wake. The player can attain access to this weapon by clearing all levels on Hard mode.

Mechanics
The Chainsaw is brought out and put to use, as with all other weaponry, by using the the attack button (Left Mouse Button on PC); the button is then held down to keep the saw held out. When using the chainsaw, Wryn will hold the saw so that the tip of it points toward the cursor or in the direction of the analogue stick; as with all other weapons, one may aim the saw both preceding and during use by moving the cursor/analogue stick to different angles in relation to Wryn's own position.

The Chainsaw sets up a perpetual damage field while it is withdrawn, causing damage to anything that comes into contact with it, making multiple consecutive "hits" in quick succession to anything in range so long as it is out, making it useful for defense against charging enemies.



Upon initial contact with an enemy, the Chainsaw will only inflict very minor damage; however, as the chainsaw stays "in" an enemy, the damage it does increases, provided the saw is not withdrawn or put away. Minor enemies tend to lack the HP necessary for this to be consequential, or even easily observable, but this effect is visible against bosses. If the Chainsaw's contact with a body is interrupted, a brief timer will commence wherein renewed contact will carry on in increasing damage from where one had left off. If the saw is not brought back to the enemy within this short time, the damage algorithm will reset, causing the Chainsaw's next moments of contact to start at minimal damage again.
