How to get a chainsaw in Fortnite

Chainsaws in Fortnite are yet another item available for a limited time as part of this year’s Fortnitemares Halloween celebrations.

Alongside the Pumpkin Launcher and Wooden Stake Shotgun, the Chainsaw is a powerful weapon to wield in a Fortnite match and you can pilot it! That being said, it’s a melee weapon, so you’ll need to be close to an enemy to deal damage to them, which is always a risky move.

Without further ado, here is how to get a chainsaw in fortnite

How to get a chainsaw in Fortnite

You can get a chainsaw in Fortnite from ground loot or looking in chests in the Fortnitemares map. We found ours by opening chests around Grim Gate, although you can find it anywhere on the map, so it’s worth opening any chests you come across to maximize your chances of catching some A.

You can also, if you’re lucky, collect a chainsaw from an eliminated player’s inventory. If you decide to fight someone who already has this weapon, be careful because the chainsaw itself can do a lot of damage. Remember that the chainsaw can be used and your opponent can use it to gain the upper hand in a one-on-one fight.

That’s all for now! If you’re looking for more Fortnite help during this year’s Halloween celebrations, check out our pages showing you how to complete the Jigsaw Challenge, Billy’s location, and how to get a Billy Bomb.
