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 File:S2 Weapon Suction Bomb .png [[]]s to further stick it to the baddies, and as you close in on them, pop your File:S2 Weapon Ink Armor .png [[]] 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!

The N-ZAP '85 was the first weapon to be added to the game as downloadable content. It was released on June 1, 2015 alongside the stage Port Mackerel and Ranked Battles. It highly resembles the original North American NES Zapper, which was released in 1985 alongside the NES , hence the name. It's weaker than the Splattershot but it makes up for it with a higher rate of fire. It comes with File:S Weapon Splat Bomb .png [[]]s and the File:S Weapon Echolocator .png [[]].

“	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.	”
