Overview[edit]
The Zapster 9000 is a semi-automatic raygun that fires concentrated plasma bolts. Each shot releases a triple-bolt burst, giving it massive burst damage at the cost of heavy recoil and lengthy reloads. It’s one of the most destructive base weapons in DEAD and a fan favourite thanks to its raw power and upgrade path.
Beast Upgrades[edit]
- Zaptain Crunch – Larger mag and higher bolt output; recoil becomes wild.
- Zaptain Planet – Faster firing cycle and stronger bolts, turning the Zapster into a horde-shredding monster.
- Zaptain Apocalypse – Final form; insane damage, DPS, and sheer spectacle. Among the strongest weapons in the game.
Tips[edit]
- Semi-auto fire makes it easier to pace shots, but recoil will kick hard.
- Excels in both crowd control and boss fights thanks to massive burst potential.
- A strong investment for late game, though its ammo economy can become a weakness.
Trivia[edit]
- Started as a parody weapon but became a late-game staple.
- Holds the record for one of the highest DPS chains in the entire game when fully upgraded.
