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.
Riot Shield

The following weapons are not affected by Riot Shield: * Weapons with fire: Flamethrower, Flare Gun, Molotov * Weapons with explosions (AOE): Grenade Launcher, RPG, Exogun, Subspace Tripmine, Grenade, Satchel, and Distortion * The Spray
