What happened to the Zeus range???

[Kulahptik]

When did they reduce the Zeus range to 5 feet? It's totally useless now, it wont do lethal damage across a doorway. I literally just hid around a corner and if you are where teh barrel wont stick out around the corner then it does 0 damage to someone coming out of Dust 2 upper corridor. Irl these things have a range of like 20 feet. I am super disappointed that I, like a moron, actually bought the new Zeus skin. Had I known that it would be nerfed into oblivion I wouldn't have wasted my money. In essence they just intentionally devalued the item i spent good money on and so now I'm stuck holding the bag? Where are the consumer protections?

"I'm stuck holding the bag?"

counter-strike skins are a unique mini-game of bagholdery.

holding the bag will make you stronk lmao or something like that

i traded stuff for a factory new Zeus early in it's release. i knew 100% i was going to get clobbered via price rot.

time to start working on using the guns bud

also the point of the zeus and the guns is to kill people in the game, not to be held and then sold later

if you want to hold things and sell them later instead of working, video game items shouldn't be at the top of your list

the zeus is a zapper. Have you seen zappers that work across the room? You gotta be up close and aim the electric discharge at the enemy.

Play deathmatch mode and use only the zeus and you'll learn the proper way to employ this weapon of mass electrification.

Its still good in arms race to revert someone to a previous weapon.

Yes all the time. In fact all police issue tazer that it's based on does in fact that.

"The Zeus x27 is based on the Taser x26. In real life, it is commonly used for law enforcement and civilian self-defense. The x26 is also less-than-lethal.
The Zeus x27 has a dark gray finish and green highlights. The Taser x26 (police-issued variant) has a black finish and yellow highlights.
The Taser x26 shoots dart-like electrodes capable of traveling up to 35 feet (10.6m) (15 feet (4.5m) for the civilian version), far more than the effective range of the Zeus x27. This may have been implemented for balancing reasons."

IMHO The range should be extended by a few hammer units.

I would kill for something like a throwing knife, lol. Or the ability to throw your knife for a high risk high reward ranged kill.
