New sounds

With the first major CS2 update There have also been some essential changes to the Zeus x27. The changes are intended to make the weapon more attractive and allow it to have a greater influence on the gameplay. Because to be honest, the Zeus was simply useless in CS:GO.

The first step in making the Zeus more interesting is that it is now reusable and no longer useless after one use. After a shot, the Zeus now has a recharge time of 30 seconds after which it can be fired again. This means that you can now even make an Ace with a single Zeus. In addition, the Zeus is taken into the next round and only needs to be bought again after death.

In addition to the improved usability, the view model for the weapon has also been adapted. As a result, the Zeus is much more present in the picture and the new skin and reload time are easier to read.

As already mentioned, the Zeus x27 with the Weapon box "Kilowatt" now finally has its first own skin. In our opinion, the Zeus x27 | Olymp skin is very successful and looks particularly good for the fact that it is only a pink skin.

In addition to the functional and visual changes, the sound for the Zeus has also been revised. A new sound makes it clear that the weapon is recharging and a tone is emitted when it is fully charged so that the player always knows when the Zeus is ready for use again.

How good is the Zeus x27 in CS2?

Of course, the Zeus x27 is better in CS2 than in CS:GO, but it's still not really good. The weapon comes with a few problems: First of all, a big problem is that you only have a single shot and the weapon has to recharge afterwards. If you miss the shot, you are at the mercy of your opponents, as in most cases they can shoot back faster before you can change your weapon. Furthermore, a kill with the Zeus does not earn you any money, which makes this weapon even less attractive.

One situation in which the Zeus can be useful, however, is an Eco on a map with limited space. For example, on Inferno in the apartments, the Zeus can be a good weapon during an Eco, as the Zeus only costs 200 dollars and you have a good chance of getting an enemy weapon with a kill.
