―Official Description

The Z-5 Heavy (sometimes shortened to Z-5) is an LMG featured in SAS: Zombie Assault 4 (both PC & mobile) as a starting primary gun exclusively for the Heavy class.

Overview

As a starting gun, Z-5 Heavy comes with decent damage, high capacity & 2 pierce, which is recommended for rookie players who prefer a defense playstyle. However, the Z-5 Heavy will become ineffective for later levels as it suffers from poor stats when compared to other LMGs. Also, It can't be augmented without EACs.

It is recommended that you sell this gun, not for money (without any augments it is worth $0) but to free up an inventory slot or simply to replace it with a better gun that is randomly found in a strongbox. Though the Z-5 Heavy can be augmented with EACs, It's recommended not to do so due to EACs' rarity.

Design

Z-5 Heavy is based on the Stoner LMG 96. It feeds from the right side, which is not a common feature for LMGs. This makes the Z-5 Heavy resemble another real-life LMG called Stoner LMG 86. It has "Z-5" stamped in gray lettering on its cover latch. It has scratches & some duct tape wrapped over its stock and vertical foregrip, which implies that this gun is in very bad condition but still usable.

• For some reason, an image of the Z-5 Heavy exists in the files of the mobile version of SAS 4.
• Like the other starter equipment, this gun cannot be crafted.
