The N-ZAP '85 was the first weapon to be added post-release. It was released on 1 June 2015 alongside the stage Port Mackerel and Ranked Battles. It's weaker than the Splattershot but it makes up for it with a higher rate of fire. It comes with Splat Bombs and the Echolocator.

Data

The N-ZAP '85 is a middleweight weapon.
The ink consumption of 0.8% allows players to fire 125 shots before needing to refill the ink supply.
When initially firing the weapon in humanoid form, the first shot takes 3 frames to come out.
- When firing from squid or octopus form, the first shot takes 8 frames to come out.
When firing continuously, it has a fire rate of 5 frames between shots.
When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.8 units per frame.
After firing, there is a 20 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
Shots have a radius of 2 units.
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.
When jumping, the chance to shoot towards the outer reticle instead of the inner reticle is immediately set to 40%.
Shots initially travel at a rate of 22 units per frame for 4 frames, having an effective range of 88 units.
Ink droplets occur every 100 units.
The frequency at which ink drips from a shot occurs at a rate of 1.65 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 19.2 units.
Droplets that occur when they travel past 200 units of the player have a radius of 18 units.
All other ink droplets have a radius of 12.8 units.

The N-ZAP '85 returns in Splatoon 2, looking identical to how it did in the first game. It comes with Suction Bombs and Ink Armor.

Data

The N-ZAP '85 is a lightweight weapon.
The ink consumption of 0.8% allows players to fire 125 shots before needing to refill the ink supply.
When initially firing the weapon in humanoid form, the first shot takes 3 frames to come out.
- When firing from squid or octopus form, the first shot takes 8 frames to come out.
When firing continuously, it has a fire rate of 5 frames between shots.
When firing while moving, the player's movement speed is set to 0.84 units per frame.
After firing, there is a 20 frame cooldown before the ink tank starts refilling.
If a shot is in the air for more than 8 frames after being fired, it loses 0.875 damage per frame until it reaches 14 damage at frame 24.
Shots have a radius of 2 units.
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%.
When not 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 48 frames to reach maximum accuracy. (78 after shooting while jumping.)
Shots initially travel at a rate of 22 units per frame for 4 frames, having an effective range of 88 units.
- After that, the shot's velocity is set to 14.495 units if it is not already lower than the listed value, and decreases further as it falls to the ground.
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 1.4 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.
