Zenith

Zenith

Class	Weapon Mod

Zenith is a weapon mod for pistols and revolvers that rewards a fresh draw. For 5 seconds after V draws the weapon, it gains Crit Chance, tighter bullet spread and faster weapon swaps. The bonus fits a fighting style that swaps to the handgun for a quick, precise shot. It suits a Cool build that pairs a handgun with a main weapon and switches often. Zenith is available from the early game, since weapon vendors can stock its lower tiers.

Effect

Zenith triggers each time V draws the weapon. The bonus then lasts for 5 seconds. It has three parts.

The first part is Crit Chance. The bonus is 5% at Tiers 1 and 2, 10% at Tiers 3 and 4, and 15% at Tier 5.

The second part lowers bullet spread. Bullet spread is the random scatter of shots around the aim point. The cut is 10% at Tier 1 and grows to 20% at Tier 5.

The third part speeds up weapon swaps. The bonus is 15% at Tier 1 and 25% at Tier 5.

All three bonuses fade after 5 seconds. A swap away and back draws the weapon again and starts a new window.

Zenith is worth the slot on a sidearm that V draws for a few accurate shots and then puts away.

How to Get Zenith Guide

Check weapon vendors, which sometimes stock Tiers 1 to 3.
Skip time by a day and check again if it is not on sale.
Combine a matching pair at the crafting menu to raise its tier.

Upgrades

Zenith comes in Tiers 1 to 5. Each tier raises at least one of the three bonuses. A matching pair of the same mod and tier can be combined at the crafting menu into one copy a tier higher. A mod can only go on a weapon of the same tier or higher. Once installed in a weapon, the mod stays in that weapon.

Character Builds

Zenith pairs with perks that reward weapon swaps. Quick Draw in the Cool tree speeds up swaps to pistols, revolvers, precision rifles and sniper rifles. It also restores Stamina when V swaps during combat. Spice Of Life in the Reflexes tree speeds up swaps and lowers bullet spread for a short time after a swap.

For the shots themselves, Focus adds damage to headshots and weak spots. Deadeye raises headshot and weak spot damage further. Nerves Of Tungsten-Steel adds guaranteed critical hits on headshots and weak spots while Deadeye is active.

Shuffler is another weapon mod built around swaps. It refills part of the magazine each time the weapon is drawn.
