Chainsaw

In a nod to the Doom version, the Ground Zero Chainsaw, also called the Chain Fist, sports a yellow and black color scheme. It is an arm-mounted device, allowing for one-handed slashing and cutting. Since almost all enemies in Quake II possess ranged attacks, it is something of a last resort weapon.

Strategies
This weapon is best used against lone enemies, especially if you can surprise them from behind. Dispatching the weaker guards is easy with the Chainsaw and conserves precious ammo. It's also handy for gibbing corpses in levels where Medics might be prowling around without wasting ammo, as it will do the job faster than the Blaster will.
