Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Chapter 2 introduces the classic chainsaw

Following up on the success of VR title The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, Chapter 2: Retribution is bringing some new toys to players. While viewing a hands-off preview of the game, I saw some of the new changes in action, including the addition of that most important of zombie/walker-killing tools: The chainsaw.

Chapter 2 is a direct sequel to the original game, taking place in New Orleans — more specifically, the French Quarter. In addition to the aforementioned implement, players also get to use a sawed-off shotgun and a submachine gun. Does it matter that the chainsaw is, in practice, an impractical weapon at best? Not in the slightest. While I wasn’t able to try it out myself, I was given to understand the chainsaw would give the player haptic feedback on use — possibly even getting stuck in the walkers.
