Hello there, strange internet person! I greet you to the fullest extent of my keyboard!

I hope you enjoy your time reading through my "Guide" (although in this case,it is more appropriate to consider it a discussion) and pick up a few intresting tidbits of information along the way. Make sure to comment your thoughts below, all are read and appreciated!




I personally enjoy the current Zeus x27. I would honestly be very sad if it was changed from it's current state, as I have had countless hilarious moments in Casual and Competitive games that involve this this "deadly squirt gun," and I would hate to know that no more of those moments will happen.

But, at the same time, I realize that CS:GO is a very competitive game, and I strive to improve it with this "Guide." The proposed changes below will not make everyone happy, and I understand that. So PLEASE help me out and post in the comments your thoughts about how dumb, inadequate, anti-progressive, and any other fun words that this "Guide" is, and make sure to include how I could change this page to make it better in your eyes.

Zeus x27
Price: $200
Kill Reward: $0
Movement Speed While Equipped: 220
Damage: Scales wildly with distance from target
Magazine Capacity: 1/0
Firing Mode: Single
Accurate Range: Perfect;fires about 30~ more units than a knife swing (MB1)
Used By: T’s/CT’s
Range: ? (Quoted as 1-shot KO from VERY close range)
Sound Level: High



What do all these properties make the Zeus x27? A JOKE (I have heard many players describe the Zeus x27 as this, professional and casuals alike).

An overwhelming amount of people believe the Zeus x27 is more than useless, to the point of it being a joke. I believe this calls for a change to make the Zeus x27 both competitive while keeping it’s fun nature.



Now what could that mean? Some of the changes I propose are…

• Zeus x27
  
• Price: $500
  
• Kill Reward: $0
  
• Movement Speed While Equipped: 215
  
• Damage: 100+ when within range
  
• Magazine Capacity: 1/0
  
• Firing Mode: Single
  
• Accurate Range: Perfect;fires about 30~ more units than a knife swing (MB1)
  
• Used By: T’s/CT’s
  
• Range: ? (Quoted as 1-shot KO from VERY close range)
  
• Sound Level: High

Positive
* Damage scaling with distance reduced to 0
* Switch to 2nd slot of the knife equipment slot (defaultly bound to “3”).
* Change the animation so that it accurately represents the time of when the Zeus x27 is ready to be fired with a light that is VISIBLE to both teams. I propose this to be where the glass-like pieces are currently on the Zeus x27,such as exampled in the picture below,
or possibly have an additional loading animation added onto the draw animation.


Negative
* Increase price of weapon to $500
* Slow down the time it takes to bring the Zeus x27 into a ready-to-use position (which is indicated by the previously mentioned light) by .1 seconds
* Reduce equipped movement speed to 215 (from 220)

It is easier to justify buying as a one-shot one-kill (literally) weapon when you KNOW if you hit them, they will die, instead of the current very annoying strategy that must be used with the weapon that includes running at something that breathes and praying to your choice of deity that you get close enough to kill them before they turn around, take a second to laugh, then one-tap you. (In this example, I’m thinking more of a T-sided view, where the player will be on the offensive, as opposed to the CT defensive use of the Zeus x27, which is actually quite strong)






The current animation is just not useful enough to be able to convey whether or not the Zeus x27 is ready to be fired or not. Instead, it is a common symptom to bring out the black-and-green brick and spam MB1,or your choice of firing button, and use the previously mentioned strategy. This unfortunate dilemma is emphasized by every other firearm having a much more substantial loading animation before the gun may be fired. This is simply put not very intuitive, and causes enough frustration to help attribute to the Zeus x27’s stigma as a “joke” weapon.

*Currently, when a player presses/clicks whatever bound button they have to slot 3 (the knife/Zeus x27 slot),the Zeus x27 is drawn instead of the knife, despite the knife offering 30 more movement speed than the Zeus x27. I believe this is just a small hassle that could be easily fixed by switching the Zeus x27 to the 2nd slot of the knife equipment slot (defaultly is bound to “3”)




The price difference (from $200 to $500) will hopefully be able to offset the various upgrades I propose for the Zeus x27, and place it in a “Specialty” tier instead of it’s current “Joke” tier.

This is going to be controversial, if for only the reason that CS:GO is a very competitive game, and many believe that it is perfectly balanced as it is. But, I am human. I see flaws in others, while in myself I do indeed see flaws, but they are naturally diluted. For this reason, I invite you to comment below, or even add me and directly message me, what you would like to see changed about the Zeus x27 and more importantly, what you think I did wrong with this guide.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be proper if I didn’t thank you, the reader, for taking time out of your day to come and visit my tiny section of the Steam Workshop. I thank you so much for your time, even if it was only seconds to read these very words, and invite you to comment, like or dislike, favorite, and subscribe to my Workshop.
