[Weapon Of The Day] DAY 9: N-ZAP '85

[Inkipedia] (http://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/N-ZAP_'85l)

This callback to the nostalgic days of when early video gaming technology was pointing a gun at an 8-bit display is actually quite a powerful tool. The N-ZAP series main weapons have the same range as the Splattershots and the same fire rate and damage as the Splattershot Jrs, with higher accuracy. Additionally, this weapon has the lowest decrease in speed while firing, meaning that you can out-strafe almost every other weapon in close quarters. Three defense up mains are necessary to force this 4-shot kill weapon into a 5-shot kill, but you will need to be able to hit this user first.

In terms of playstyle, you can go aggressively with splat bombs to further pressure your opponents, while also being able to support your team with echolocator (as this weapon is one of the fastest charging Echolocators in the game). While this weapon shares the same kit as the dual squelcher, additionally while having less range and requiring the same amount of shots to kill, it can be preferred because of the superior movement speed while firing in addition to the slightly better ink coverage.

While its sibling the N-ZAP '89 is well known as possibly the best pure inking weapon in the game (Aerosprays also putting their hats in to that ring), the '85 is possibly more well utilized for ranked modes and splatfests (in which you cannot run cold blooded).
