For the persona variant of this weapon, see Persona zeushammer.

The Zeushammer is a DLC melee weapon that emits an EMP upon hitting a target.

Obtaining

Zeushammers can be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant or obtained as a quest reward, once you have the Royalty DLC active.

Usage

The zeushammer is a strong melee weapon, but falls short of the monosword's sheer damage output and armor pentetration. As a zeushammer deals blunt damage, it can be better against armor - most enemies have much better Sharp % than Blunt %. However, the monosword will fully penetrate even a centipede's armor, so zeushammers are mostly limited to humans with marine armor and cataphract armor. Even then, the monosword's raw damage will not be far behind.

When a zeushammer hits, its EMP will stun mechanoids, turrets, and mortars, for 4.5s. After being stunned, mechanoids become 'Adapted' and gain immunity against further stuns for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs), regardless of stun length. This makes a zeushammer counterproductive when fighting mechanoids alongside EMP grenades or another source of stun. The zeushammer retains its niche against turrets, as well as certain other uses (like breaking shield belts and low-shield packs).

Blunt damage in it of itself also has a small chance to stun the target, regardless of their organic status. This is usually too minor and unreliable to count on, however.

-When inflicted, EMP will stun [[mechanoids]] and [[turrets]], including both human and mechanoid variants as well as [[mortar]]s, for 4.5s. After being stunned, mechanoids become 'Adapted' and gain immunity against further stuns for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs). Turrets do not become adapted. It is currently unclear if zeushammers cause a shorter "adapted" time to match their shorter stun time than other EMP sources.
