; Zapster 9000 (Raygun)
: *“Warning: contents under pressure.”*

== Overview ==
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 ==
* '''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 ==
* 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 ==
* 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.
