what is cronus zen

Cronus Zen is a small device that players connect to their controllers or PCs, which can be used with almost any console or controller and allows players to mod their gaming equipment to give them an unfair advantage in-game. It is a hardware enhancer that adds extra functionality to your controller, enabling the use of scripts and macros with a controller through emulation techniques. The device is for sale online and has been purchased by enough people to become a problem that has been frowned upon by the Call of Duty community. Once connected, players attach ‘scripts’ to their Cronus which give them in-game benefits such as increased aim assist, rapid-fire mods, and no-recoil macros. The Cronus Zen is the newest iteration of the USB device, which plugs into a console or PC and then a controller is plugged into another port and gameplay can be altered. While defenders of the Zen argue that it simply evens the odds by offering controller players the utility that mouse and keyboard players have by default, Activision defines cheating as the use of “automation software (bots), modded lobbies, hacks, and mods” .
