How to Get the Carver in Mycopunk (Hidden Chainsaw)

What the Carver Is

The Carver is Mycopunk's chainsaw — a heavy industrial cutting tool whose in-game description reads "heavy combat chainsaw with a high user fatality rate." It is a true melee weapon with its own 25-upgrade pool built around a blood mechanic: sawing enemies builds stacks that fuel movement speed, lightning procs, healing and more. The 1.0 update even added an Exotic, Turkey's Bloodlust, that spends all your blood stacks for a temporary damage burst.

It never drops from missions and never appears in normal progression. It is a secret weapon in the same family as the Globbler, tracked by its own achievement once assembled.

Step 1: Get the Broken Frame in Titan City

Launch any mission in Titan City — difficulty doesn't matter. You are looking for a lone square building near the residential area; a zipline leads straight to it, which makes it easy to spot from the drop zone.

Inside, interact with the console at the far end. Note for co-op squads: one guide reports every player must be present at the console before it activates. Triggering it opens the floor, and the linear path below leads through a room where a couple of laser abominations spawn — run past them or kill them for loot. At the end of the route, behind a large door, sits the Broken Frame. Collecting it also puts the Server Access Codes in your Storage. Finish or abort the mission and return to the rig.

Step 2: Open the Server Room on the HUB

The Server Access Codes unlock a previously locked door on the HUB — the top floor above your spawn rooms. Punch the blue triangle inside to receive the first of four Weapon Modules for the Broken Frame.

Step 3: Collect Three More Modules Across the Map

The remaining modules only spawn after you have the access codes, so don't go hunting early. One per region:

The Tundra module is the trickiest grab — it demands decent grapple work. If your movement suite feels shaky, the Glider's wingsuit makes high ledges trivial.

Step 4: Farm 8 Saxonite and Unlock the Modules

Each of the four modules requires resources to unlock, and the hard gate is two Saxonite per module — eight total. Saxonite is a rare drop from mission completion, with odds improving at higher threat levels (community figures from before 1.0 put it around 21–30% per mission at Threats 4–6; the 1.0 patch notes say the chance was increased without publishing new numbers). The most reliable farm is the Overtime Assignment, unlocked at level 12, which guarantees one Saxonite per completion. Our full Saxonite farming guide covers every source.

Hover over the modules in your inventory to see exactly what each one needs — most of the other materials are common drops you likely already have.

Step 5: Assemble the Carver

With all four modules unlocked, open your inventory and fit the modules into the Broken Frame. Guides disagree on the exact final arrangement — one describes a diamond pattern, another a triangle — so rotate the modules until the frame accepts them. When it does, the frame transforms into the Carver. Equip it from your loadout and start sawing.

Is the Carver Worth It?

Yes, for a specific playstyle. The Carver lives and dies at melee range in a game full of projectiles, so it will never be a general-purpose pick — but its kit pays aggressive players extremely well:

It shines in corridors, chokepoints and any build that already wants to live inside enemy groups — a natural partner for a Bruiser frontline playstyle or a grid built around survival. If ranged poke is more your speed, the meta guns in our weapon tier list will serve you better. For the condensed version of this hunt, see the short chainsaw unlock page.
