The '''N-ZAP '85''' is a [[main weapon]] in ''[[Splatoon]]'' and ''[[Splatoon 2]]''. It highly resembles the original North American NES Zapper, an accessory for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]] released in 1985, hence its name.
The '''N-ZAP '85''' is a [[main weapon]] in the {{Ss}}, created by the weapon brand [[Weapon brand#Nintendo|Nintendo]] (not to be confused with the company).
 
It has a high fire rate and takes four hits to splat an opponent. It highly resembles the original North American NES Zapper, an accessory for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]] released in 1985, hence its name.
 
== Appearance ==
The N-ZAP '85 consists of a mid-length gray barrel connected to a gray handhold with a white body. The sides of the body have the Nintendo logo printed in red, with one side also having the word "Zapper" and a copyright for the year 1985 printed. Notably, this text is all in English lettering, rather than the Inkling language, as it matches the decals of the real world NES Zapper exactly. Attached to the weapon's handhold is a red trigger.

===Use===
* As an Ink Armor-based support weapon, the N-ZAP '85 is an all-rounder with no obvious weaknesses.
** It outranges the [[Splattershot Jr]]. and outdamages the [[Kensa Undercover Brella]], allowing it to be more aggressive against opposing [[Community Glossary#Slayer|slayers]] than either of the two.
** It is more ink efficient than either the [[.96 Gal]] or the [[H-3 Nozzlenose D]].
** It is more accurate and mobile than the .96 and has Suction Bombs, while the .96 Gal has no bombs with which to either apply pressure or zone out opponents.
** It has more mobility and a lower special gauge requirement than the H-3 Nozzlenose D (200 vs. 220).
* The primary tradeoff for being a Jack-of-all-trades is the lack of a major strength among its supportive capabilities; it is not the most efficient at turfing, the most effective at providing support fire, or the fastest at building up Ink Armor.
** [[Ink Saver (Sub)]] can allow for more frequent Suction Bomb use but not quite enough to [[Community Glossary#Spamming|spam]] bombs (without a very high investment).
** [[Special Charge Up]] can speed up the process of building up the special gauge for Ink Armor but not as quickly as with some other Ink Armor-based weapons.
* One unique advantage the N-ZAP '85 possesses over most other weapons it its inherent mobility, particularly while firing. Use this to strafe while firing to avoid opponents' shots, buying time to splat the opponent with a (usually) weaker main weapon. [[Run Speed Up]] can increase this mobility advantage even further.
* Suction Bombs can be used similarly as [[Splat Bomb]]s, including clearing areas, such as perches or the [[Tower Control|Tower]], of opponents. However, there are key differences:
** They can attach to [[surfaces]], allowing both more room for error when aiming and the planting of craftier traps, such as underneath a [[grate]].
** They take two seconds after attaching to a surface to detonate, as opposed to one second for a Splat Bomb.
** They inflict more damage from a direct hit and have a larger overall radius of damage.
* Ink Armor allows its user's team to either initiate a push, to recapture a Splat Zone for example, or maintain one, such as while [[Community Glossary#Lockout|locking out]] the opponent.
** Time the activation of Ink Armor carefully; it takes up to two seconds to activate Ink Armor, which lasts for at least six seconds.
** Try to activate Ink Armor when most or all teammates are active. Slayers, who risk getting splatted more often, benefit from Ink Armor more than [[Community Glossary#Anchor|anchor]]s do.
 
===Countermeasures===
* Other Ink Armor-based support weapons each have at least one specific advantage over the N-ZAP '85:
** The Splattershot Jr. has faster turfing, a lower special gauge requirement, and a larger [[ink tank]], the latter which more easily enables bomb spamming.
** Both the .96 Gal and H-3 Nozzlenose D outrange and overpower the N-ZAP '85. The .96 Gal also has a lower special gauge requirement.
** The Kensa Undercover Brella has a shield for protection and [[Torpedo]]es for both zoning and distracting opponents.
* While the N-ZAP '85 stands better against slayer's weapons than the Splattershot Jr., most slayer's weapons still have an advantage in a one-on-one, particularly in terms of damage. However, be wary of any Suction Bomb traps an opposing N-ZAP '85 might plant while retreating, such as around a corner or underneath a grate.
* Keep an eye on the HUD to know when the opponent's N-ZAP '85 has Ink Armor ready to use, and both watch and listen for when it is activated.
** The best way to prevent the opponent from using armor is to splat the opponent with the N-ZAP '85 (or any other Ink Armor-equipped weapon). A [[charger]] user can prioritize said opponent when sniping, or a slayer can attempt to pick off an unwary N-ZAP '85.
** Focus fire on armored opponents for longer than usual - preferably with everyone ganging up on one opponent at a time - to compensate for their armor.
** [[Object Shredder]] allows a player to inflict three times damage onto armored opponents, as long as the armor is active. Combining this with [[Ink Storm]] can nearly neutralize armored pushes by the opponent.

The N-ZAP '85 is a main weapon in the Splatoon series, created by the weapon brand Nintendo (not to be confused with the company).

It has a high fire rate 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.

Appearance

The N-ZAP '85 consists of a mid-length gray barrel connected to a gray handhold with a white body. The sides of the body have the Nintendo logo printed in red, with one side also having the word "Zapper" and a copyright for the year 1985 printed. Notably, this text is all in English lettering, rather than the Inkling language, as it matches the decals of the real world NES Zapper exactly. Attached to the weapon's handhold is a red trigger.

The N-ZAP '85 was the first weapon to be added post-release. It was released on 2 June 2015 at 02:00 UTC,[1] alongside the stage Port Mackerel and Ranked Battles. It is weaker than the Splattershot but it makes up for it with a higher fire rate. It comes with Splat Bombs and the Echolocator.

Data

  • The N-ZAP '85 is a middleweight weapon.
  • Each shot consumes 0.8% of the ink tank capacity.
    • This allows players to fire 125 shots before needing to refill the ink supply.
    • This stat can be changed with Ink Saver (Main).
  • When firing continuously, it shoots a bullet every 5 frames (12 shots per second).

  • The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 6 degrees.
  • The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 15 degrees.
  • The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. The outer reticle will finish shrinking after 60 frames.
  • The chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle increases by 2% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle.
    • This means that it takes 13 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
  • When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.

 Sheldon's Introduction

The N-ZAP '85 is a Shooter with excellent ink efficiency and rapid-fire capability! Its attack power isn't all that, but it's fabulous at quickly charging up the Echolocator special weapon. Combined with Splat Bombs, this set caters to fighters who like to cover a lot of ground in battle!(NA)[a]

 Sheldon's Introduction

The N-ZAP '85 is a Shooter that boasts incredible ink efficiency and rapid-firing capability! Its attack power is low, but it excels at hounding foes long after their weapons have run out of ink! With the Echolocator and Splat Bombs, this set suits fighters who like to cover a lot of ground in battle!(EU/OC)[b]

“ Each shot is kind of weak, but the high rate of fire makes up for it. This weapon's popularity is due not only to its helpful special but also to its snazzy futuristic design. ”
— In-Game Description
“ A new weapon called the N-ZAP '85 has been added to Splatoon! It's apparently based on the design of something called the NES Zapper that was released in 1985? Doesn't ring a bell. While it's not the most powerful weapon out there, it's got a great rate of fire and it comes in a set with Splat Bombs and the Echolocator. ”

  • When initially firing the weapon in humanoid form, the first shot takes 3 frames to come out.
  • When firing from swim form, the first shot takes 11 frames to come out.
  • The interval between firing and when the player is able to enter swim form or use a sub weapon is 3 frames.
  • When firing continuously, it shoots a bullet every 5 frames (12 shots per second).

  • The angle its shots can deviate while on the ground is 6 degrees.
  • The angle its shots can deviate while in the air is 12 degrees.
  • The outer reticle immediately expands after jumping. After 25 frames, the outer reticle will start shrinking, and will finish shrinking after 70 frames.
  • The N-ZAP '85 starts off having a 1% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle.
    • This chance increases by 1% per shot, and maximizes at a 25% chance to shoot towards the outer reticle, meaning that it takes 24 shots to reach minimum accuracy.
  • When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
  • Accuracy starts recovering 5 frames after the player stops shooting. The chance to shoot towards the outer reticle decreases by 0.5% per frame, if the chance is not already at the minimum, meaning that it takes 53 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (83 after shooting while jumping.)
  • Shots initially travel straight at a rate of 22 units per frame for 4 frames. Shots travel straight for 88 distance units.
    • After that, the shot's velocity is set to 14.495 units per frame if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it travels.
  • Ink droplets occur every 110 units.
  • The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 1.4 droplets per shot.
  • There are a total of 11 different droplet patterns that can be created while firing this weapon.
  • Droplets that occur within 11 units of the player have a radius of 18 units, and a width of 10 units.
    • These droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1.2 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.48 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
  • Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 16 units.
  • All other ink droplets have a radius of 11.6 units.
  • Droplets that are far from the player and all other droplets have their radius multiplied by a value ranging from 1 if they fell from a height above 100 units to 1.2 if they fell from a height below 30 units.
  • If no ink droplets have occurred within 11 units of the player for 4 shots, the next shot the player makes will force a paint droplet to appear at the player's feet.

 Sheldon's Introduction

The N-ZAP '85 is a shooter with excellent ink efficiency and rapid-fire capability! Its attack power isn't all that, but you can use its features to ink turf quickly as you pursue your opponents! Use the Suction Bombs to further stick it to the baddies, and as you close in on them, pop your Ink Armor and watch them squirm! This weapon is the very definition of "reliable." I recommend it for players who put a big emphasis on ink coverage!

 Sheldon's Introduction

The N-ZAP '85 is a shooter with excellent ink efficiency and rapid-fire capability! And, um... its power is certainly... adequate. Sorry - I hate to say anything negative, but this weapon doesn't pack the biggest punch. But that's OK! It's fast enough to send your enemies scrambling... and that's when you hit 'em with the Suction Bombs. Fire up the Tacticooler to energize your squad for a big push, and you've got a nimble loadout that's built for teamwork. It's what makes the dream work!
