Fallout 76 - The Thirst Zapper Will Quench Your Enemies

Fallout 76 - The Thirst Zapper Will Quench Your Enemies
I recently had an Aristocrat's Thirst Zapper fall into my lap. I pretty much ignored this weapon when it came out alongside Nuka World On Tour. That was a mistake. It's insanely fun and super strong.

Purchased a Bloodied Quantum Thirst Zapper from a veteran player a few days ago... I proceeded to spend 40K caps on nuka-cola quantum bottles and now I have 3500 ammo for this weapon :) SO MUCH FUN

[@VeeCyberpunk]

I will sell my Quantum but only to people that ask specifically and never in my vendor because of this gun.

[@lostmytaco8024]

Yeah I always craft the weapon to throw in my vendors all the time

[@AdrlOink]

@@VeeCyberpunk sounds lame.

[@willblake72]

Never dawned on me that it was the self-inflicted stagger that was preventing the reloads. Very fun weapon, a favorite for moonshine or something like distant thunder. Also these explosions are done right, not blinding everyone.

[@vtubershidposting9068]

I run an Instigating / +25% Aiming Dmg Thirst Zapper on my Nuka only character. You can do a funny combo with Nuka-nades by aim shooting where the grenade lands and doubling up on explosions. I run OE full health PA so I can just throw nades at my feet and don't care. Because it is based on Explosion perks and not gunslinger, you can easily run it with primarily melee as your backup or AOE option. At least in PA, I stopped really caring about reduced fusion core usage, so I had the Int slots.

[@darkjak565]

I've got a set of each thirst zapper sitting around with bloodied on each of them. Every once in a while I run around with them using a full explosives build, even use an instigating version of the water one for a grenade build. It's extremely silly and impractical, but I don't regret those legendary modules at all.

[@VeeCyberpunk]

Just three starred one two days ago, with the marsupial mutation and explosive perks you are basically a God. 😂

[@dillonc7955]

This would be a good weapon to save for specifically tanky enemies or big groups of enemies. The weight is virtually nothing which makes it basically a busted pocket M79 if you can keep up with the costly ammo.

[@VeeCyberpunk]

Get a bot, it gets you a variety of Nuka Cola regularly.

[@ThatDeadGuy]

If you think it is ridiculous already, you should try throwing in a Tesla Science 3 and a Bobblehead: Explosive.

[@ZippeeSK]

So basically, this is a stealth grenade launcher? Nice!

[@pyrosapien4028]

Yeah but with great weight

[@VeeCyberpunk]

I'm selling a nonmodded one for 600 caps with one round of weaponized Nuka Cola.

[@StormTheOnigiri]

i wish it had a special kind of interaction with Cola Nut. like maybe you don't get staggered by the explosions or something

[@beastabuelos6421]

I've been using a thirst zapper for a while. Mine is mutant's, crit damage. It's fun. You can double shot it if you aim right after shooting while in first person and the second shot doesn't even consume ammo. Now that i have everything i want from the nukacade, i spend all my points on ammo. I've crafted some too. Have like 2600 shots for it stored

[@Mordred_The_Betrayer]

Quantum mushroom clouds for the win, fun weapon.

[@coolblade23]

Super Mutant Suicider: Hey, we are the same .... but different

[@TigerRose246]

I have a good friend that I team up with almost every day. Near the end of our sessions somebody will break out the Thirst Quencher and we chase each other up, down, over, under, and through - love these water pistol fights!!

[@tjpatton8562]

Explosive weapon damage being affected by range makes about zero sense.

[@GhostStalkerActual]

I have an anti-armor, 50% crit damage one. I build vats critical, switch to Quantum Zapper and melt the entire room

[@InfiniteKhaos]

Nuka collectron will help with ammo. But it is hardly worth it, as you said it basically needs it's own build which kind of sucks.

[@Brummo192]

I wonder if you could charge your crits with a 10mm pistol then switch to the Thirst Zapper for the crit. Then switch back?

[@wiggle_plays]

Yep.

[@KPx-ke8bg]

Thank you so much for the video, i can't wait to try this thing out!

[@AnxietyRanger]

This gun makes me smile. Its the little things

[@mauno1845]

This is more like a fun weapon, been using for a long time in my pistol build and it is fun to use. The downside that i do not like is that nuka grenade dose damage to enemies even threw walls , but this does not. I still think this is a must in pistol build with the AB . One for area damage and the other for single targets.

[@deadku6150]

this doesnt scale off pistol, only explosive

[@mauno1845]

@@deadku6150 no but you use demoliton expert and grenedier to boost AB damage and thirst zapper. So it is good to mix those in a build. TZ For area and AB For single target. Thanks to the AB nerf and it using a lot of AP per shot, it is good to have some area weapon to kill off a lot of small fries faster.

[@brotherrabbit5525]

I actually use this thing as my secondary on my grenade launcher build. I stopped using grenadier theres really no reason for it unless you want to hurt yourself.

[@Brummo192]

I need to look at these. Can you get two shot?

[@wiggle_plays]

I'm pretty sure you can't.

[@PeacelordApropos]

I just got one from a player vender. Just a fun one. But they can do damage too.... wow

[@lilogmike1776]

Bro I just got a god roll on the thirst gun right now dis crazy

[@kawaiikitty3952]

All you need for armor is at least one or 2 pieces of assassins so you take less damage from self damage.

[@cortlinfulgham8102]

My Anti-Armor one goes up to 1000+ with right perks.

[@eziowo]

Maybe a bloodied or instigating would work even better with it

[@dereksnelling3005]

I have an instigating one that i basically gave up on when i ran out of ammo for it.

[@KaylieRayne]

Well learn something new every day.. I didnt know this thing was any more than something to annoy people at the Mall with lol

[@andredavidson4394]

Right now I have a mutants thirst zapper, and I'm pushing 1,100 damage.

[@plipplopz]

No ammo drop is ass

[@FourSixHigh]

I love mine.

[@TomTom75393]

Looks very fun best last star will be dura

[@drackar]

With this, you VERY quickly run out of things to buy that are worth a darn from that vendor, and there's a fairly low cap for that currency, so there's a good shot most people are sitting at capacity for that currency. So just buy the quantum ammo, get your friends to buy the ammo...

[@DasOhneEnde]

I would never use tthis gunxD

[@BornBeAwesome]

I always thought it was trash.

[@Ima184mm]

Me too

[@clymdodds1020]

Would this weapon benefit from vampire?

[@wiggle_plays]

It should but I haven't tried that effect on it.

[@clymdodds1020]

@@wiggle_plays Looks like I have some more scrip grinding to do. ❤️ (ClownBoy wants his regenerative water pistol). 🤡

[@BONTIOE]

I accidentally scraped the weapon

[@Tehchilla]

generally if you scrap a couple of them you will learn how to craft them so you never have to buy them again. Thats very helpful if you want to roll legendarys, craft a bunch roll them and scrip the junk ones to get some scrip back.

[@BONTIOE]

@@Tehchilla the thibg was I accidentally scraped it when i spamed my spacebar cuz i had alot of combat rifles

[@Ima184mm]

Is it pistol or Rifle?

[@wiggle_plays]

Neither one.

[@FurtiveSkeptical]

It's classified as a launcher, but not a "heavy guns" class launcher.

[@Defc0n2008]

Doesn’t give contextual ammo and doesn’t give ammo if it’s your equipped weapon at the end of expeditions

[@gymhayes4613]

Ddid you take it to daily ops to cbeck ammo drop?

[@wiggle_plays]

Nope. But I'm told ammo won't drop for it.

[@roonkolos]

​@@wiggle_playsI've recently tried it It indeed does not drop ammo, sadly

[@VeeCyberpunk]

My dudes, hush about this. Can no one keep anything quiet?! 😂

[@Salvation4U]

Assassins Armor does not mitigate Self Damage - The PVPers that toss Nuka Mines in your camp are using a MOD for Un-limited Health - That is CHEATING🤣🤣

[@creeperkiller9k975]

Does the ammo spawn in ammo boxes or perhaps end of daily ops ammo rewards like a missile launcher or not at all?

[@wiggle_plays]

Not in ammo boxes or any containers as far as I can tell. I never tried it in daily ops or expeditions, so I don't know about that.

[@probablybears]

I haven't tried in DO, but Expeditions don't give ammo for it.

[@wiggle_plays]

I assume daily ops would be the same then.
