The Zeus x27 has seven skins in CS2 right now, from Swamp DDPAT and Electric Blue at under a dollar to Dragon Snore, which costs around $40 in Factory New. Every finish arrived in the CS2 era: Olympus from the Kilowatt Case came first in 2024, and the rest followed with the Fever Case, new map collections and the Armory. Below are the taser's facts and history plus every skin with current prices.
Interesting Facts About the Zeus x27
The prototype for the Zeus x27 was a real electroshock weapon, the Taser M26C, which is used by law enforcement in several countries. In reality, a taser is a non-lethal weapon used to temporarily disable an opponent by stunning them. However, in the game, opponents hit by the Zeus x27 are counted as a frag. Interestingly, the taser shares the knife slot in your inventory. See our guide on how to use the taser in CS2 for the mechanics.
At the same time, a single hit to any part of the body is enough for a fatal strike. This advantage is balanced by significant limitations: after a shot it takes about 30 seconds to recharge, and the range is only a few meters. Therefore, the Zeus x27 is best used from ambush or in situations where you are absolutely confident and want to demonstrate your superiority.
History of the Zeus x27
The Zeus x27, named after the ancient Greek god of thunder, was added to the game back in 2013 as part of the Arms Deal Update, but it only became purchasable in Competitive mode in 2014. Its price has changed several times, and currently it costs only $200. You rarely see the Zeus x27 used in major tournaments due to its high risk, but it does happen. For example, in 2021 at the BLAST Premier Fall Finals, Zywoo from Team Vitality successfully tased s1mple.
After the CS2 update, the design of the Zeus x27 received several visual improvements. Thanks to the new engine's graphical features, the electric arc when firing and the hit animation now look more impressive. Shortly after that, the first skins for the Zeus x27 appeared, and the weapon became of interest to many collectors. There are currently seven Zeus x27 skins in the game, and all of them are sold on LIS-SKINS. Below they are listed by price, from the most expensive to the cheapest.
Zeus x27 Dragon Snore
The most expensive taser skin is still Zeus x27 Dragon Snore. It is a Classified skin from the Overpass 2024 Collection that drops only from souvenir packages, so supply is limited. Price depends heavily on wear: from $7 in Battle-Scarred to around $40 in Factory New, while the souvenir version in top condition goes for about $75. The appeal is the unusual design: a little dragon on a white background that looks more amusing than scary.
Zeus x27 Olympus
Second in price is Zeus x27 Olympus. It was the first Zeus skin, released in 2024 in the Kilowatt Case, which is why it drew so much attention. The regular version costs from $3 to around $7, and StatTrak Factory New is about $15. The body shows Zeus holding a bundle of lightning bolts, matching the name.
Zeus x27 Charged Up
In a major update in spring 2025, several skins were added for this type of weapon, and Zeus x27 Charged Up is one of them. This Restricted skin from the Train 2025 Collection costs from $1, or around $10 in Factory New. It is painted yellow and black, with a red front. If you like minimalist skins with detailed design, this one might appeal to you.
Zeus x27 Tosai
Zeus x27 Tosai from the Fever Case will appeal to fans of Asian-style skins. It costs under a dollar, about $1 in Factory New, and up to $3 for StatTrak. On a black background, a red-and-white koi fish is depicted in such a way that one of the gun's structural parts becomes the fish's eye.
Zeus x27 Earth Mandala
Zeus x27 Earth Mandala is the newest taser skin, a Mil-Spec finish from the Harlequin Collection. As the name suggests, the design is built around a mandala ornament. It costs under a dollar in every wear from Factory New to Battle-Scarred, which makes it an inexpensive way to make the taser stand out.
Zeus x27 Electric Blue
If you're looking for a minimalist but vibrant design, Zeus x27 Electric Blue from the Ascent Collection is just what you need, especially since it costs under a dollar in any wear. Most of the weapon's surface is painted bright blue with a few black and cyan accents. Moreover, since 2024, stickers can be applied to the Zeus x27, making this skin a good base for creative crafts.
Zeus x27 Swamp DDPAT
Zeus x27 Swamp DDPAT remains the cheapest skin for the taser: even Factory New costs under a dollar. This Consumer Grade design from the Boreal Collection isn't particularly bright: the entire weapon is covered with a camouflage pattern. However, fans of realistic skins might still appreciate it.
