N-ZAP '85 | Splatoon Wiki

The N-ZAP '85 is a Main Shooter weapon in Splatoon, Splatoon 2, and Splatoon 3

Description[]

The N-ZAP '85 is a Shooter weapon that has a low spread, unlike most Shooters. However, its fire rate and damage is the same as the Splattershot Jr. and its range matches the Splattershot. It has a high rate of fire and takes four hits to splat an opponent. It highly resembles the original North American NES Zapper, an accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System released in 1985, hence its name

Weapon Quote[]

“	Each shot is kind of weak, but the high rate of fire makes up for it. This weapon's popularity is due to not only its helpful special but also to its snazzy futuristic design.	”
	— Splatoon

“	Its attack power isn't all that, but you can use its feature to ink turf quickly as you pursue your opponents!	”
	— Splatoon 2

Trivia[]

The N-ZAP '85 resembles the NES Zapper released in 1985, commonly associated with the game Duck Hunt.
