Avoiding very fisrt chainsaw fight
To avoid the first chainsaw fight in the first village, enter the village and and just run around killing everyone but don't go into the house with the picket fence infront (this is where you aquire the first shotgun). If you enter while everyone is still after you then it'll go to a cutsene and the chainsaw guy will come, just keep runing and killing until the cutsene with the bell and everyone leaves. Then you can enter and get the shotgun and ammo.
Althoough this is an easy way to avoid the hassel of taking care of a chainsaw, you don't get the money he drops when you kill him. But this is good for first time players or if you just wanna get through asap.
Hope I helped.
