Chainsaw (Fallout 76)

The chainsaw is a melee weapon .
==Characteristics==
A two-handed melee weapon found in Appalachia, labeled as a Romington Super 76.
===Weapon modifications===
==Locations==
The chainsaw can only be obtained through random world spawns and cannot be crafted. It can also drop with legendary effects from various events or through random chance from purchases from Purveyor Murmrgh.
* Crimson Prospect - May appear southwest next to a bus, on a metal shelf, on the bottom row.
* Ingram Mansion - On top of a wood plank supported by two barrels outside the west side of the mansion. 
* Metal Dome - On the opposite side of the arena from the spawn point, up the ramp, inside a small metal building.
* Mountainside Bed & Breakfast - Can spawn in the basement on the shelf with the ammo box. As of Wastelanders, one can become permanently locked out of the basement (and thus this chainsaw) by completing the miscellaneous quest with the cannibals. (This door can be bypassed by the photo mode glitch)
* Pleasant Valley cabins - Under a large pine tree on the cliffs due west of the map marker.
* Ranger district office barn - On a cabinet opposite a row of cages.
* Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 - May appear inside the South Expansion, on a table with a portable grill, on the upper level accessed through the broken pipes.
* The Foundry - Three can spawn inside the Foundry:
** On a metal shelf next to a weapons workbench on the Canal.
** On the floor in the Warehouse, next to the ramp leading to the shipping containers, near a painted sign on the floor pointing to The Belts.
** In Twin Cauldrons, on a metal shelf in the uppermost light blue metal room.
*Middle Mountain Pitstop: in a tool shed to the southwest, between the general store and the Boozin Brahmin. 
The following locations have a spawn point for chainsaws, but they will never spawn due to the area level:
* Clarksburg - On the top floor of the hardware store, on a shelf above a safe.
* WV Lumber Co. - Can spawn on the table in front of the fusion generator on the lower interior level of the complex.
==Notes==
* This weapon previously could not drop as a legendary weapon. It was first added to the legendary pool with the Expeditions: The Pitt update.
* Prior to patch 1.1.0.8, when repaired to 200%, it did several times its normal damage.
* Prior to the Wastelanders update, once attached, the flamer mod could not be removed, as the chainsaw lacked a "no mod" scope modification slot.
* The modifications for Bow Bar and Dual Bar can be learned by scrapping chainsaws. The Long Bow Bar and Chainsaw Flamer modifications must be attached via loose mods sold by vendors.
* This weapon is considered to be power attacking when using it's primary attackHydraskillz (Matthew Johnson): "These automatic melee weapons that drain AP are considered to be using a "power attack" with their primary attacks." on Bethesda Game Studios' official Discord
==Bugs==
* The chainsaw was previously missing keywords for melee and two-handed melee, making it incompatible with any weapon class-specific buffs or perks. This was fixed with Expeditions: The Pitt.
* The Bow bar states it is supposed to add armor penetration but doesn't actually do so due to a missing property.
* Some of the spawn points in Appalachia will never yield a chainsaw, due to the region's level being lower than the lowest possible level for chainsaws.
* Originally, it was possible to attack with the chainsaw while sprinting in third person. This was fixed in August 2023.
