Zenith CA-40

The Zenith CA-40 is a weapon in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Overview
The Zenith CA-40 is a derivative of the Zenith pistol. It is a modern, fully ambidextrous and ergonomic sidearm with a very modular design, allowing it to accept several tactical modifications. The magazine holds only 15 rounds by default, but its capacity can be increased. The Zenith features orange tritium-illuminated iron sights.

It is in extremely common use, so ammo will never be an issue, and its penchant for taking upgrades means it can eventually be a formidable backup weapon. The silencer and laser sight, along with adequately-upgraded magazine size, also make it a surprisingly good main weapon for a non-Pacifist player who wishes to be stealthy, though it is not suitable for full-scale combat situations unless (almost) fully upgraded. A silenced Zenith is a useful tool even for Pacifists, as it may be used to lure enemies into locations away from their patrol path so that they can be disposed of discretely; when a shot is fired, enemies will investigate by walking to where the shot hit. That, and it comes with EMP ammo.

Like its predecessor, the CA-40 is one of the most common weapons in enemy hands, and is not particularly threatening when used by them; while no enemy should be underestimated, the player will only really find themselves in trouble if they are surrounded by several enemies with these weapons. Pistols are typically limited to lower-level enemies such as street thugs, security personnel and lightly armored soldiers.

Elite Edition 10mm Pistol

 * Included as part of the pre-order Intruder Gear DLC, Season Pass or Deluxe Edition.
 * A modified version with slightly slower fire rate optimized for 3-round-burst operation.
 * The elite version inexplicably deals more damage to hard targets (robots, cars, cameras, doors, destructibles) than its regular counterpart. It takes a single bullet from the silenced elite pistol to destroy cameras.

Trivia

 * The CA-40 retains much of the old Zenith's aesthetics, but now features a squared backstrap with an internal hammer system akin to pistols that enables it to use firing mode modifications.
 * The new Zenith model is referred to as the "CA-40" by its receiver branding and the case studies of the ZAP derivative, while the in-game description identifies it as the "CA-4".
