Can the Chainsaw Guy Be Killed in Resident Evil 4 Remake?

The chainsaw guy you are referring to is likely the one that spawns during the major village battle, and if nothing else he sure is daunting. After fighting off villagers that use nothing but crude weapons, seeing a foe with a chainsaw is one way to up the ante. After firing into him quite a bit, your ability to kill him may leave a little confusion. Thankfully, it is possible to kill him.

Due to Leon’s limited arsenal up to this point, it is a difficult kill especially with all the enemies swarming around you. If you want to try and kill him, your best bet is to get into one of the houses on the left side of the village and acquire the first shotgun. This can do some heavy burst damage up close and should stagger him from swinging the chainsaw at you. A handful of shots later, he should drop dead. He will also drop an emerald, which you should save for later as it can be sold for a pretty penny.
