"A simple chain with a simple purpose; to present yourself as a hazard to everyone within a few feet of you."
- Ingame weapon description.
The bike chain and padlock is a weapon in MADNESS: Project Nexus. It is a large weapon, requiring at minimum 35 strength to wield with one hand. It is one of the few whip type weapons in the game, its counterpart being the Morningstar. It is a tier 2 weapon, being unlocked early in Arena Mode's progression.
Strategy
The bike chain and padlock is debatably one of the worst melee weapons in M:PN, having extremely low durability, requiring a great deal of strength in order to one hand for when it appears in the game, and having very low damage, being outclassed even by weapons that appear before it.
However, if one is playing as the Disquieted One, this weapon can still be used for a free execution, just as all other melee weapons when playing as the Disquieted One. Its low durability also makes it somewhat useful for characters who posses the improvised weapons skill.
Due to being a blunt weapon, it can be used to knock over enemies with the blunt knockdown skill, and has an increased chance to dizzy enemies when struck with a heavy attack.
