Zeus is an active item in The Gauntlet, a mod for The Binding of Isaac.

On pickupFully charges Isaac's active item, and adds an entire overcharge.

While heldPicking up future active items also overcharges them.

When used by itself Spawns 4 lightning bolts.

Lightning bolts have a 75% chance to strike at an enemy's position, and a 25% chance to strike a random position in the room.

Lightning bolt strikes deal 20 damage and can break obstacles and doors. Lightning bolt strikes cannot damage Isaac.

Lightning bolt strikes have a 10% chance to add 1 charge to Isaac's active item upon killing an enemy.

Lightning bolt strikes spawn electric sparks in a random direction on wet floors, such as Downpour, Dross, Flooded Caves, some rooms in Scarred Womb. This also applies after using Flush!.

When used with another item Picking up another active item while holding Zeus replaces it with the new active item, essentially turning Zeus into a passive item.

Using the active item will spawn lightning bolts around the room.

The amount of lightning bolts depends on the maximum amount of charges of the active item, and equals to MaxCharges × 2 + 1.

If the active item has a timed recharge, the amount of lightning bolts is calculated with RechargeTime ÷ 1.83.

Single-use items will spawn 16 lightning bolts.

Items that can be used infinitely will not spawn any lightning bolts.

Items that must be held over Isaac's head before being activated will not spawn any lightning bolts.
