+
The zeushammer is a strong, blunt melee weapon. It completely beats a [[uranium]] [[mace]] of the same [[quality]]. However, it falls short of the [[monosword]]'s sheer damage output and {{AP}}.
  
−
When a zeushammer hits with its head, its deals 9 [[EMP]] damage in addition to its base damage. No EMP damage is inflicted by the handle attack. Unlike its normal damage, the EMP damage does not scale with [[quality]]. EMP damage does not deal physical damage. Instead, it stuns [[turret]]s, [[mechanoid]]s, and [[mortar]]s for 4.5 seconds. After being stunned, mechanoids become "Adapted" and gain immunity against further stuns for {{Ticks|2200}}. Immunity is applied on stun, and the duration is not extended by stunning an already adapted mechanoid. EMP also disables [[shield belt]]s, causes [[brain shock]] on humanoids with brain implants, and vomiting on those with certain stomach implants.
+
When a zeushammer hits with its head, its [[EMP]] will stun [[mechanoids]], [[turrets]], and [[mortar]]s 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.
 +
 
 +
Blunt damage in it of itself also has a small chance to stun the target, regardless of their organic status.

As a zeushammer deals blunt damage, it can be better than the monosword against armor, as most enemies have much better Sharp % rating than Blunt. However, the sword will completely ignore even a [[centipede]]'s Sharp armor. Zeushammers only start to surpass them when against humans with [[marine armor]] and [[cataphract armor]]. Even then, a monosword's raw damage will not be far behind.

Due to adaptation, a zeushammer can actually become counterproductive when fighting mechs along with [[EMP grenades]] or another source of EMP. All other sources of EMP stun for much longer, but the first stun causes adaptation immediately, so it prevents other sources of EMP from applying their longer stun. The zeushammer retains its niche against turrets, as well as certain other uses of EMP (like breaking [[shield belt]]s). However, the localized nature of the EMP from the zeushammer allows you to retain your shield belts to protect your melee fighters as they engage in melee.
