Which would you rather have? a chainsaw, a power axe, good ol fists.

personnaly id rather have a power axe: 1 slot lighter than a chainsaw and faster which lets its deal more damage in the long run (in 1 minute a power axe can deal 70 dmg where a chainsaw will deal only 60)

I miss the "Dremel Multi" option. :mad: I would vote for that tool.

I like chainsaws, just cus i like to do damage NOW not a minute from now.
PLus i like the image of a titan rumbling as it's big tree-cutters rev up, then slash into another titan.

It depends - I'm toying with a design that has one of each. Generally, if I hav plenty of arm slots to spare, I'll take the chainsaw, since it makes less heat and it's a little easier to take off a leg (or head) with the first strike. On my recons I like a chainsaw in one hand and a ranged weapon in the other - pulse laser or rockets, or a mg + two more on the shoulders...

Chainsaws... Once you get to the medium and above titans, the regular punches do more damage than the power axe (although the axe keeps your arms from getting hurt) so the only choice for good damage is chainsaw.

That and its just so damned FUN to lop off titan heads with a chainsaw....... :)

true true but it takes longer to reload which can mean death in certain situations
