Skull-1 is a part of skull series which is an anti-zombie revolver built by the Rex Research Institute in Counter-Strike Online possibly based on the Russian-made MP412 Rex.

OverviewEdit

Skull-1 is a double-action revolver chambered with 7 rounds of .50 Anti-Zombie. It has two firing modes; semi-auto and full-auto fire. Semi-auto fire mode deals high damage but lower accuracy and lower rate of fire while the full-auto fire mode has higher rate of fire, higher accuracy but does lower damage.

Skull-1 is accurate in any fire mode and very powerful against both zombies and humans as a secondary weapon, its performance is maximized at middle to close range combat. It can be very useful at times if you have proper skills though it is a bit inaccurate at long range combat.

AdvantagesEdit

• Very high damage to both zombies and human
• Very high accuracy for a high-caliber revolver
• Has full-auto fire mode
• Does not affect player's speed
• Penetrates Kevlar and multiple objects (up to 4 objects in a row)
• High stun to zombies
• Medium knockback for light and normal types zombies
• Fast reload time

DisadvantagesEdit

• Moderate recoil
• Low magazine capacity
• Inaccurate at long range
• Expensive for a revolver

TipsEdit

• Be careful when buying Skull-1's ammo in Scenario, 600 rounds will burn out your money real fast.
• Equip this weapon as your secondary in case you are shocked by Deimos and need to escape.
• Use the semi-auto fire mode to kill zombies while full-auto fire mode for escaping.
• This weapon can be an appropriate replacement for the Desert Eagle in normal matches.
• It is very accurate, aim for the head with semi-firing mode for massive damage (~250+ to zombies and ~125+ to human).
• Use the semi-auto fire mode to deal with enemy in far distances while full-auto fire mode if enemy is close to you.
• Not recommended when combining with Deadly Shot due to low clip size.
• Shoot zombies when they are in midair to knock them away. Note that it is not working to heavy types zombies like Deimos, Ganymede or Heavy zombie.
• Aim for newly infected zombies as they are weak and easy to kill.
• Skull-1 is a good barrier destroyer too in Scenario modes.

Tactics facing Skull-1 UserEdit

Normal matchesEdit

• Skull-1 is dangerous if the player have experienced Skull-1 abilities because it is more accurate than most high-caliber pistol. Be aware to battle with Skull-1 user in close range.
• Skull-1 will take you down immediately with just 1 shot to the head or 2-3 shots to the body. Try to not counter them in close range unless you have good skills.
• Avoid direct combat alone but work in groups. Skull-1 users will not have enough ammo to kill you.
• Surprise attack is recommended.
• Do not run in a straight line or stand still, 1 shot to the head can perform instant kill.

Zombie ModsEdit

• If you have a massive amount of 5000 HP and more, feel free to infect Skull-1 users if they do not have a good primary and melee weapon.
• Skull-1 bullets can knock Light zombie away.
• Use zombies with small hitboxes like Light Types to minimize the chance of being shot at. Bunnyhop if possible.
• Heavy types is also recommended when facing Skull-1 users too due to Skull-1's low knockback.
