Melee Weapon - Chain Reaction

October 2025

Props

Meet "Chain Reaction," an explosive nightmare for the enemy. Throw it, smash it, or swing it at your enemy and just get it stuck in place. Then make sure to duck for cover, because then it goes BOOM! Use Chain Reaction on a single enemy or bring a few and spread them out across multiple enemies to cause a chain reaction.... Miroslav Baev designed, modeled, textured, and rendered this beautiful apocalyptic weapon from his own creation. From the games that inspire us to create like Dying Light, Left 4 Dead, or Dead Rising, we love creating these gritty detail packed weapons not only to continue learning and pushing our skillsets, but because it's just plain fun. As always, we hope you enjoy checking this out as much as we enjoy creating these assets and thanks for following!
