Overview[edit | edit source]

The Chainsaw in Sons of the Forest is a powerful tool used primarily for cutting down trees at an accelerated rate. Unlike traditional axe, it allows for much faster resource gathering, making it an essential item for efficient base building and large-scale construction.

Usage[edit | edit source]

The Chainsaw excels at quickly felling trees, significantly reducing the time required to collect Log for building. It does not require stamina to use but runs on Batteries, making power management a key factor in its effectiveness. Additionally, it can be used as a melee weapon, though its effectiveness in combat is limited compared to dedicated weapons.

Tips & Tricks[edit | edit source]

  • Keep a supply of Batteries to ensure the Chainsaw remains operational.
  • Use for large-scale logging to speed up base construction.
  • While it can be used in combat, it's best suited for resource gathering.

Worth It?[edit | edit source]

The Chainsaw is an invaluable tool for resource collection, drastically improving efficiency when gathering logs. While battery dependency limits its use, it remains one of the best tools for large-scale building projects.
