Tips

Overall
  • The Vulcanus Parts System is applied for the scope and does not require any conditions, it will automatically activates itself when using the scope.
  • It takes 3 seconds to lock-on a target. After that, the Vulcanus Parts System allows players to land hits on any part of the target's body with 100% accuracy for the time being. However, it is effective up to a maximum distance of 25 meters, and can lock-on one target only at a time. Also, if the target moves out of the scope view, it will be deactivated.
  • When lock-on a target, the scope will change from blue to orange with beeping sounds.
  • Note that, the scope can indicate the range of the target.
  • The Vulcanus Parts System will deactivate automatically if the player:
    • Reloads the gun.
    • Drops the gun.
    • Aims intentionally/unintentionally away of the previous target - unintentional marksmanship often occurs due to the progressive recoil presented whenever the operator shoots continuously.
  • Rate of fire and recoil increases when shooting with the scope, rendering it on missing the target most of the times, if fired continuously.
Zombie Scenario
  • When shooting a boss with B mode, it will lock-on the weakness spots of the boss.
  • The weapon can deal up to 50,000 damage to the bosses, provided that attack power has been maxed, and the target is locked-on.
Hidden
  • VULCANUS-5 is very effective to detect and defeat Jokers, even when they are invisible.

Trivia

  • This is the third weapon in Counter-Strike Online to feature lock-on target function after Thunderbolt and Lightning Rail.
  • This is the first weapon in Counter-Strike Online that can indicate the range of the target.
  • The weapon model resembles the XM25 CDTE.
    • However, the performance of the weapon is not the same as the original. XM25 CDTE is a 4-round smart grenade launcher but VULCANUS-5 is just a smart assault rifle.
  • The stats are nearly similar to TAR-21, while the reload animation is similar to F2000.
  • There is "Hephaestus Rome" written on the weapon body. It may refer to Hephaestus, Greek god of blacksmiths, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, metals, metallurgy, fire and volcanoes.
  • Unlike other weapons, VULCANUS-5 does not have world and player models, but only have view and shop models.
  • During its debut in Taiwan/Hong Kong region, its shop icon was misplaced with VULCANUS-7 instead even though the label describes the opposite.
  • Interestingly, this weapon also locks-on Mosquitoes and Stingray Kites.
