Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Puncture damage.

Advantages

• Tied with  Panthera for the second highest base damage of all fully automatic weapons.
  • High  Puncture damage – effective against health.
• High base accuracy.
• Very ammo efficient.
  • High ammo reserve for its magazine size.
• Silent - will not be present on opponent's minimap.
• On kill, bodies will follow the bolt that killed them, damaging anyone in their path and pinning the corpse to walls.
• Has a polarity.

Disadvantages

• Low  Impact damage – less effective against shields.
• Low reload speed.
• Projectiles have travel time.
• Third lowest fire rate of all fully automatic weapons, behind  Attica and  Panthera.

Tips

• While possessing an Auto trigger, the Zhuge is best used when fired in bursts to better aim shots and manage its small magazine. On the other hand, its automatic fire combined with its native knockback makes it good when strafing against multiple enemies, or shooting a single tough enemy multiple times.

Trivia

• The Zhuge was originally introduced in Warframe China as a timed-exclusive item, alongside the  Ninkondi and  Spira.
• The Zhuge is named after the Chinese word for the repeating crossbow, Zhūgé nǔ (諸葛弩), literally meaning "the Zhuge [Liang] crossbow", in turn named after its purported inventor Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was a Chinese chancellor that lived during the Three Kingdoms Period of China, and is considered one of the greatest strategists of the era.
• The Zhuge is the fourth crossbow introduced in the game, after the  Attica and  Ballistica/ Rakta Ballistica.
