Which games have Cronus Zen scripts, and what a script can change in each
Cronus Zen scripts exist for most console games, and this lists, game by game, what a script can change, what breaks it and what each publisher has said.
Cronus Zen scripts exist for almost any console game, because the console sees the Zen as a controller; what varies is what a script can usefully change and what the game's publisher has said. The real question is what a script can change in a given game, given that the Zen only rewrites controller input and cannot see the screen. This page goes game by game, says what breaks after a patch, and ends with where to get scripts.
The mechanism behind every entry is the same: How the Cronus Zen works. The risk position for every entry is in Is the Cronus Zen detectable?, with each publisher's words and date, and this page only summarises it.
The whole list at a glance
| Game | What scripts do | What breaks it | Publisher position |
|---|---|---|---|
| NBA 2K | Shot timing, dribble and dunk combos, remaps | Any patch that changes shot timing or animations | 24 Sep 2026: permanent bans for shooting aids and input manipulation; no device named (ban wave) |
| Call of Duty | Anti-recoil, aim-assist tuning, rapid fire, movement combos | Weapon balance patches | Activision names the Zen (2 Feb 2026) as a cheating tool; behaviour-based detection; enforcement policy runs up to permanent bans |
| Fortnite | Build and edit combos, aim tuning, M&K translation | Building changes; season resets | Epic lists the Zen as restricted hardware; bypassing the restriction may mean a permanent ban |
| Apex Legends | Anti-recoil, aim tuning | Weapon patches | Respawn names Cronus (4 Mar 2026); permanent bans, no leniency appeals |
| Rainbow Six Siege | Anti-recoil, lean and peek combos | Operator and weapon patches | No Ubisoft statement naming the Zen found; Ubisoft's MouseTrap (April 2023) adds input lag for console players detected using mouse-and-keyboard spoofing devices |
| Destiny 2 | Anti-recoil, movement macros | Sandbox patches | Bungie said in April 2023 it would take action, including bans, against players who abuse such devices |
| Halo | Aim tuning, movement macros | Weapon tuning | No statement naming the Zen |
| EA Sports FC, Madden | Skill-move and shooting combos, remaps | Gameplay patches | No statement naming the Zen |
| GTA Online, Red Dead Online | Anti-recoil, rapid fire, macro chains | Rare | No statement naming the Zen found |
| Racing | Wheel support, macros | Rare | A supported use case in Cronus's own Wheel Mode |
| Fighting games | Combo macros | Balance patches | Check the event's rules; Cronus's Tournament Mode disables scripts and macros |
NBA 2K
The largest script market on the Zen. The game rewards releasing a shot inside a narrow timing window; a script presses and releases on a schedule a thumb cannot match, after a calibration to your player's jumpshot. Beyond shooting: dribble-move combos on one press, timed dunks, and remaps.
| Can | Cannot |
|---|---|
| Release on a fixed schedule after a press | See the shot meter |
| Store a calibrated timing per jumpshot | Know whether you are open |
| Chain dribble inputs on one press | Change the game's shot success logic |
| Remap | Adapt to a patch by itself |
It works because the window for a given jumpshot is consistent; a game patch that changes timings means the script needs an update. Publisher position: on 24 September 2026 2K announced its first wave of permanent NBA 2K27 bans for "shooting aids and other input manipulation", backdated to early access, without naming any device. The ban wave page has the details.
Call of Duty (Warzone, Black Ops, Modern Warfare)
Anti-recoil is the core: the script pulls the stick against a weapon's recoil pattern while the trigger is held. Also stick tuning around aim assist, rapid fire for semi-automatic weapons, and movement combos (slide cancels, dropshots) on one press. Cronus itself notes that rapid fire cannot make a weapon fire faster than the game allows.
| Can | Cannot |
|---|---|
| Pull the stick on a per-weapon recoil pattern | See enemies or aim at them |
| Turn a held trigger into repeated presses | Change damage, fire rate limits or hit registration |
| Chain movement inputs | Know which weapon you are holding unless you tell it |
| Nudge stick input around aim assist | Survive a weapon balance patch unchanged |
Anti-recoil values are per weapon and per attachment set, and a balance patch changes them. Publisher position: Activision's Ricochet team's Season 02 post of 2 February 2026 names the Cronus Zen and XIM Matrix, says "These devices are not permitted in Call of Duty", and describes detections that "focus on how inputs behave, not which device is plugged in". Activision's Security and Enforcement Policy lists unapproved input modification devices as an infraction, with penalties from warnings up to permanent bans that can apply across Call of Duty titles. Activision announced a detection for third-party hardware devices on 4 April 2023, with a warning first and escalating penalties after. This is the most detailed position any publisher has published.
Fortnite
Building and editing combos, aim-assist tuning, and mouse-and-keyboard translation for controller aim assist. Publisher position: Epic's help page lists the Cronus Zen and Cronus Max as restricted hardware; a detected device brings a Restricted Hardware Warning, and trying to bypass it "may result in a permanent ban from Fortnite".
Apex Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, Destiny 2, Halo
Anti-recoil and aim tuning in each, with per-weapon values. Publisher positions vary. Respawn's 4 March 2026 update puts Apex in the same tier as Call of Duty: Cronus named, permanent bans for confirmed accounts, no appeals for leniency. Bungie said on 13 April 2023 that it would take action, including bans, against players who abuse such devices to gain an advantage. Ubisoft's MouseTrap, released in April 2023, targets console players using input spoofing devices for mouse and keyboard and penalises them with added input lag rather than bans; the post does not name the Zen. Halo has no statement naming the device. Treat each as a game where the publisher has said it objects, and Apex as one where it has said it bans.
EA Sports FC, Madden
Skill-move and dribbling combos, timed inputs for shooting and passing, remaps. The gain is consistency of input rather than any timing window as sharp as NBA 2K's. No publisher statement naming the Zen that this site is aware of.
GTA Online, Red Dead Online
Anti-recoil, rapid fire and macro chains. This site has found no Rockstar statement naming the Zen.
Racing and fighting games
Racing wheels through the Zen are a supported use case in Cronus's own materials: its Wheel Mode connects a listed set of older Logitech and Fanatec wheels to a PlayStation with force feedback. Fighting games see macro scripts for combos; competitive events set their own rules on macros, and Cronus's Tournament Mode disables scripts, macros and GamePacks for play where they are not allowed.
What every entry shares
A script changes what the game thinks your hands did. It does not change the game. It produces input patterns a hand cannot, and those patterns are what Activision says its detections look for. Nothing on this page, and nothing on this site, describes a script as undetectable. Wired vs wireless and Input lag cover the practical setup for timing-sensitive games.
Where to get scripts
| Source | Cost | Updated after patches | Support | Quality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GamePacks, built into Zen Studio | Included; Cronus lists over 200 | On Cronus's schedule | Cronus forums | Solid, general |
| Cronus's GPC Library, the Cronus forums and Discord | Free; the Library needs a registered Zen | Depends on the author | The thread | Uneven; good for learning |
| Paid scripts from sellers | Subscription or one-off | When the seller ships updates | Discord or ticket | Varies widely |
Paid sellers exist for most games on this list, and NBA 2K and Call of Duty scripts mostly come from them. This site does not rank sellers; a ranking with a published method is what scriptranking.com is for. Loading any of them onto the Zen is the same procedure: How to put a script on the Zen.
Frequently asked
- Which games work with the Cronus Zen?
- Any game on a supported console, because the Zen is a controller to the console; Cronus calls it game-agnostic. What varies is whether a useful script exists and what the game's publisher has said about the device.
- What can a script do in NBA 2K?
- Time a shot release inside the green window, run dribble and dunk combos, and remap. It cannot see the meter; it works because the window is consistent for a given jumpshot.
- What can a script do in Call of Duty?
- Counter recoil, tune stick input around aim assist, rapid fire, and movement combos. Activision's post of 2 February 2026 names the Zen, calls such devices cheating tools, and says new detections look at how inputs behave; the risk is documented.
- Where do I get scripts?
- Cronus's GamePacks are built into Zen Studio. Cronus's GPC Library holds thousands of free community scripts for registered Zen owners, and more are shared in the Cronus forums and Discord. Paid scripts come from sellers, and a ranking of those is a separate subject.
- Why did my script stop working after a game update?
- The script encodes timings or recoil values for the old version. A patch that changes them makes the script wrong until its author updates it. Nothing on the Zen changed.
- Can a script see the screen?
- No. The Zen has no video input. Everything a script does is a pattern of button and stick input on a schedule.
