Chainsaw
The Chainsaw is a weapon good for close combat and rushing into people as it deals great damage. It's capable of killing enemies in 3 swings or under a second with the M2 ability. It is also good for movement, as its ability grants the user extra movement speed when the M2 button is held.
Maul
The Maul is a large hammer that delivers high damage; it has a slower attack rate than most weapons, and has a move speed de-buff.
Prime rarity. Has a jump-slam attack in addition to normal swings.
