The Zoni Blaster is Clank's special weapon invented by the Zoni and sold by GrummelNet Industries in All 4 One. It is an extremely rare and mysterious weapon rumored to have been constructed in the halls of the Great Clock. Harnessing the power of quantum energy, each blast from the weapon temporarily slows the passage of time, similarly to the effect of Time Bombs.[1][2]
It can be upgraded to the Elite Zoni Blaster by purchasing an elite upgrade from a vendor.
History[]
It is first available at the Village Entrance in the Aldaros Plains for 5,000 bolts. A single upgrade is available to purchase upon reaching the Rehabitation Center segment of N.E.S.T., and the remaining upgrades at the Exploratorium Power Station in Terawatt Forest. It is not upgraded with use, but its ammo can be upgraded for 10,000 bolts, and its power for 10,000 bolts. After purchasing the ammo and power upgrades, it can receive an elite upgrade for 30,000 bolts, transforming the weapon into the Elite Zoni Blaster.
"Zoni Legend" trophy.
Two skill points are acquired for Killing enemies that have been slowed by the Zoni Blaster: 5 for "Zoni Apprentice" and 10 for "Zoni Master". Killing 15 enemies that have been slowed by the Zoni Blaster will unlock the "Zoni Legend" trophy.
Characteristics[]
Clank with the Zoni Blaster.
The Zoni Blaster is a strategic weapon that fires a homing projectile of quantum energy, which temporarily slows the passage of time for any enemy it hits. It is a special device only useable by Clank. It is not an offensive weapon, and can not be used to damage enemies. Initially, enemies hit by the projectile will have their time slowed for 5 seconds, which is then increased to 8 seconds with the power upgrade. With the elite upgrade, when the orb detonates on any surface, time will become slowed for all objects and enemies in the visible area at once. Its time slowing abilities do not in any way affect Clank or teammates.
Behind the scenes[]
It was previously known as the Zoni Ray before the release of All 4 One.
The elite upgrade for the Zoni Blaster takes longer to become available than all the other character specific weapons. A possible reason is that its ability to slow time throughout an area would have trivialized Rossa Fields and allowed players to bypass the threat of the venixx too easily.
