CS2 Zeus - Reload OR Charge?!

Reload or Recharge the Zeus? The X27 Zeus is a meme gun sure, but it's fun!
Should it be updated in Counter-Strike 2 to what we did in Classic Offensive?

I always liked the reload option.. seems way cooler

[@Aibadenshi]

Recharge makes sense gameplay wise so you aren't shooting it every time you can, so it forces you to use it moderately.
Reload after a shot would be a bit annoying to deal with since people can spam it. Like kill one then retreat if you didn't pick up the gun and then prepare for the second shot to instantly kill another person.

[@griffinbastion]

It also feels like it could replace a shotgun in most situations, shotguns are usually used as an assault or lurking weapon, if you could reload Zeus, you could more easily shoot, fall back, repeat - at negligible cost to yourself

[@Phenixtri]

@@griffinbastion you could always have both the reload animation and the recharge after reload you know that right? would also be visually more interesting to look at in game.

[@griffinbastion]

@@Phenixtri That is true but the video goes on the premise it's one or the other

I like the ‘Reload’ version due to the realism; but not being a Counter Strike player (most likely already making my opinions invalid), I’m under the impression that the ‘Recharge’ is needed for different game modes.
What if we combined the two? Visually you are reloading the weapon, but it’s as long as the recharge (the character is struggling to pull the spent cartridge out).

[@DUCKonyl]

Really good to hear that you're now a part of the Modding Team. Can't wait for the release!

[@ESCalation]

Soon™

@@ESCalation Please tell me there will be an option to not use fingerless gloves in CSCO.

[@prikolica3567]

@@prikolica3567 Anything would "fit" I've never been a fan of fingerless gloves.

I don’t like having it reload. I always saw the Zeus as a bit of a novelty, high risk high reward weapon. One shot at a hit in very close range for an instant kill. I think a slow recharge is fine even if it’s not realistic. Given the speed of a CS match, you’re not going to have time to be thumb sucking in a corner over and over waiting for your refill. Unrelated but I’m surprised the Zeus is even still in the game, as it feels it would be something thrown out the moment some e-sports Titan bitches about get killed by it and calling it an OP noob weapon.

[@Saint4]

I’m not a fan of unlimited chargers no other weapon has unlimited ammo and the zues makes a sound when reloading which can screw you over even if you don’t have it equipped it doesn’t take so much skill now that you can get multiple attempts.

[@locomotivefaox]

I think the recharge makes it more true to the original, while making it a more viable choice and being a more interesting mechanic in general.

[@zaihn_y]

balance-vise CS2 is better

[@ESCalation]

Probably yea!

[@Alegips]

in CS2 game files, you can found "mag" world model of Zeus!

[@3axapTv]

I liked the way it used to be. Fire one shot automatically droped & switched to primary. Switch was so quick, and you could shot second enemy or if you missed quickly shot one instead. Now it's not that convenient 😢

[@slezyorla]

zool's zeus is way better.

[@RavenKStudios]

I would always take the reload. The loading makes no sense and takes waaaaaaaaay too long in this game.
You could dump an entire magazine from an AK, reload and still be faster than the Zeus.

[@Mylifeintechnicolor]

If valve dont want to change the recharge mechanic then a combination with the player inserting a new cartridge after it being fired, but have to wait for the recharge.

[@ESCalation]

That would make it at least visually interesting yea!

[@DaveAgainstVileEvil]

If you switch to the Zeus while reloading your primary weapon it arctually drops a magazine (It's a bug that happens with pistol magazines as well). So I am sure that they were thinking about making it reloadable, but changed their minds.

[@kameleon_rap]

Reload is too overpowered in some scenarios. One shot kill comes only from sniper or ak (if I'm not wrong), and it takes skill. Zeus would be funny this way, but way more appealing to trolls

[@ESCalation]

I think you could be correct!

[@scarymonsters524]

Why 3 and not 5?

one time use > slow recharge > multiple reloads

What does it have to do with the video?
