Analysis
The zeushammer is a strong melee weapon, but falls short of the monosword's sheer damage output and AP. As a zeushammer deals blunt damage, it can be better against armor - most enemies have much better Sharp % than Blunt %. However, the monosword will completely ignore even a centipede's armor, so blunt damage only matters when against 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. regardless of quality. After being stunned, mechanoids become 'Adapted' and gain immunity against further stuns for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs), regardless of stun length. Therefore, when using EMP grenades, the zeushammer actually becomes counterproductive for fighting mechs. The zeushammer retains its niche against turrets, as well as certain other uses of EMP (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.
