    All chainsaws all the time - and they don't run out of gas.  Definitely my favorite mutation so far. Played with some friends this afternoon and we had a blast.  You guys try this one yet?

    I wonder if you can get that achievement using it.

    Pretty fun though having AI makes things problematic (the AI will attack zombies that are attracted to pipe bombs, and will attempt to chainsaw a witch immediately after seeing it), and public dudes will often friendly fire you. Still pretty fun to me as long as I'm playing on Easy/Normal, though.
     
    I'm more interested in that rumored "M60 with unlimited ammo" mutation.

    Tank Burger? Pretty sure it counts. If you're talking about any Expert achievements, the lack of any ranged weapons (other than pistols, which means giving up the chainsaw) kills the chances of succeeding on Expert.

    I was actually just playing a little bit now, I like how it makes you stick together more but then smokers are just a bitch now.

    Chainsaw Massacre  is one of my favorite mutations.  The entire game I couldn't stop smiling!!!
      
    Yeah the Tank Burger achievement unlocks in this mode...however I played all six mutations and I didn't get the mutant overload achievement or garden gnome prop.

    @Bigandtasty:  I was thinking more like the "Do an entire campaign, using only melee weapons" one. Confederacy of Crutches, I think?
     
    This one.

    I'm pretty sure you can, me and a friend killed a tank in the mode and unlocked the achievement for killing a tank with only melee weapons. 
     
    To get Confederacy of Crutches you just got to be careful not to fire your pistol when you get downed. My friend accidentally did that, so the achievement didn't unlock for him. I had already unlocked it so I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty positive it'd unlock.

    Yeah, just remember to not fire your pistol if you're incaped.

    Chainsaw Massacre is my favorite one so far. It's a ton a fun with friends and great for a lot of laughs. I only wish that it had Bleed Out's frequency of hordes. Still, it more than washes away the bad taste left by Last Man On Earth.

    @scallywag179: 
    Man that sounds awesome! I've been so lazy not playing any L4D2 as of late and I've totally missed out on the mutation stuff. I mean, I haven't even checked out that mode. A buddy of mine has only told me good things about it though, so I guess I have to check it out, AiEsAiPi.
