Circular Saw



The circular saw is a weapon in Yandere Simulator.

Gameplay
The saw is found in the shed. It is seen as suspicious and cannot be concealed. If a student notices Yandere-chan holding the saw, they will give her a reputation penalty of ten points. If the player joins the Gardening Club, they will not be seen as suspicious when carrying it.

The player cannot use the saw when fighting a Heroic student and will automatically lose, as the weapon is too unwieldy to use in close quarters.

The saw can be placed inside the cello case or the trash can in order to conceal it.

In the future, if a student spots the player holding the weapon while she is not part of the club, she will be called a thief and it will be taken away from Yandere-chan. Student AI and path finding will have to be revamped before this happens.

As of the March 5th, 2016 Build, the player cannot give the circular saw to a mind slave.

Dismemberment

 * Main Article: Dismemberment

Dismemberment with a saw was implemented in the February 15th, 2016 Build. Once a student is killed, the player can carry, drag, or dispose of the body. If Yandere-chan is armed with the circular saw, she can dismember corpses by pressing E. During the dismemberment animation (which happens in third-person view), Yandere-chan will slice up the body into six sections: right arm, left arm, left leg, right leg, torso, and head. Her sanity will drop.



Circular Saw Animations
In the future, there will be different saw animations depending on Yandere-chan's level of sanity. For now, the saw only has one animation.
 * High Sanity: The player will move forward, vertically slicing the student from the head to the waist. This animation was made by YandereAni.
 * Medium Sanity: Unknown so far.
 * Low Sanity: Unknown so far.
 * Stealth Kill: Unknown so far.

Trivia

 * The saw was implemented in the January 1st, 2016 Build, but removed in the January 2nd, 2016 Build. It was finally re-implemented in the February 15th, 2016 Build.
 * This is the only weapon not shown on the Challenges menu.
 * When students saw the player carrying a saw in the February 15th, 2016 Build, they did not have a quote for her carrying it. It later obtained a response in the February 17th, 2016 Build.
 * Before the March 5th, 2016 Build, the player could give the saw to a mind broken slave. She would kill herself with the opposite end of the saw blade. She would also use the wrong side of the blade when she stabbed a student in the neck. In later builds, the player will not be able to give a saw to a mind broken student anymore.
