That bloodthirsty chainsaw has returned to torment Fortnitemares, unleashing excitement and unbridled (some aptly random) speculation about a possible collaboration with Chainsaw Man. The weapon has come back to life, a short gameplay trailer showing demonic foes being chopped and diced by the razor razor in the new Demon Rush LTM by the trusted leakers HYPEX.
A freaking chainsaw in Fortnite? Imagine one insanely gory melee weapon that you can use to rip-wrath opponents and structures, a great check indeed. When it had appeared last time, this community went nuts, and now it’s back just in time for spooky season. People are bragging about how much they’re having fun in the Demon Rush LTM, combining chainsaws with speed augments and nitro infusions in pure mayhem.
The type of response the Fortnite community put up was pretty outrageous. Colonel Stan did a tweet: “Already using it in Demon Rush! Man, did I miss this thing. It’s so damn fun.” Another very simple one was: “IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO KILL SOMEONE WITH A CHAINSAW,”… a little off-putting, but then again, it’s Fortnitemares, so maybe that goes. The excitement was just bursting out; with comments like “LETS FUCING GOOOOO” and “IT WAS SO FUN” all over the replies.
This is where the juicy stuff is; half the player base is speculating about a Chainsaw Man collaboration. Could the time be any better? Chainsaws returning for Halloween and Chainsaw Man being the most popular anime/manga at this very moment. User MMoujaddidi went ahead and demanded, “STOP BRINGING CHAINSAWS IN THE GAME WITHOUT THE MAN BEHIND THEM” then added, “Come on bruh, Denji and Makima for Fortnitemares, is that too much to ask??”
Chainsaw Man references are everywhere in the comments. One player said: “They should make a Chainsaw Man mythic instead,” while another joked that “Makima’s emote should allow you to oneshoot any player in the map.” The community is shouting for actual Chainsaw Man content, and dumping the chainsaw weapon without that real collaboration feels like a tease.
Inside all this, there are serious concerns to be made… “please dont have durability please dont have durability pz,” one player begged, which is really valid because having durability is such a buzzkill when you are slicing through everything. But, from what the guys are saying after having tried it in Demon Rush, it actually works pretty damn well without breaking in the blink of an eye.”
Not only is this a weapon, though, in fact, there may be some movement strategies involved. That was the gist of a comment: “Nice. Movement always nice except for those noobs that complain cause they cant run with the cars.” So clearly, the chainsaw might be assisting with traversal in ways other than pure destruction.
Now the real fun is seeing how creative players get with chainsaw combos. SpyroGR went on: “Using it in the ltm against the demons with a nitro infusion and augments for speed is absolute cimema” — wait, cinema? Anyway, you get the idea; players are finding ways to stack the chainsaw with other mechanics to make it even crazier.
More discussions revolve around whether the chainsaw is present in all modes or only Demon Rush LTM. One reply even made it clear- “only in demon rush,” regarding its availability for the time being-it’s therefore likely locked to the Halloween event modes. But who knows; if players express enough love for it and if there is some shrewdness about it that is, it may yet become a permanent weapon form.
The release of this chainsaw comes just at the right moment for Fortnitemares. At any Fortnite Halloween Event, fan-favorite spooky items and new methods for new chaos have pretty much always been the norm.The chainsaw fits right on that list-it is loud, destructive, and just chaotic enough to make a Halloween event all on its own.
Some are asking for less big IP-themed item showers of items, with GoodGamers stating, “I hope we get new non-IP halloween items,” which is fair because while collaborations are cool, there’s something special about Fortnite’s original Halloween themes and items.
Looking from a perspective, this chainsaw indeed proves the fact that Epic actually listens to its audience. The community has been begging for this to come back, and here it is, right in time for the spookiest season. The Chainsaw Man talk just glues on top of that, expressing how well out against potential collaboration the community already sees itself and how eager they are to see their own characters in the game.
The chainsaw getting brought back for Fortnitemares 2024 could just be the highlight of the entire Halloween event. Whether you’re going grossly through demons in the LTM or just wreaking general havoc, this weapon surely spells a kind of beautiful chaos that players really want to experience. And who knows – all this Chainsaw Man talk might actually start to materialize into a real thing. Stranger collabs have happened before in Fortnite, that’s for sure.
Anyway, if you haven’t hopped into Fortnitemares yet, now’s the time to grab that chainsaw and start slicing. The community reaction says it all – this is one returning weapon that’s worth getting excited about. Just keep an eye on your fingers, won’t you? PlayStation and Xbox players alike are enjoying the seasonal chaos.
