The Zoni Blaster is a weapon in All 4 One. It is Clank's special weapon, invented by the Zoni and sold by GrummelNet Industries. Rumored to have been constructed in the halls of the Great Clock,[1] the Zoni Blaster became the gadget of choice for Zoni adventurers, or "really, really, really lazy people".[2] This small, handheld device fires blasts of quantum energy that temporarily slow the passage of time, similar to the effect of Time Bombs.
Gameplay[]
The Zoni Blaster is first available at the Village Entrance in the Aldaros Plains for 5,000 bolts. A single upgrade becomes available at the Rehabitation Center segment of N.E.S.T., with the remaining upgrades unlocking at the Exploratorium Power Station in Terawatt Forest. It does not upgrade with use, but its ammo capacity can be increased for 10,000 bolts and its power for 10,000 bolts. After purchasing both upgrades, an elite upgrade becomes available for 30,000 bolts, transforming the weapon into the Elite Zoni Blaster.
The Zoni Blaster is a strategic weapon that fires a homing projectile of quantum energy, temporarily slowing the passage of time for any enemy it hits. The weapon is exclusive to Clank and does not affect him or his teammates. It also does not deal direct damage to enemies.
Initially, enemies hit by the projectile have their time slowed for 5 seconds, which increases to 8 seconds with the power upgrade. The elite upgrade further enhances the weapon, causing its projectile to detonate on impact, slowing time for all objects and enemies in the vicinity at once.
Although lacking offensive power, the Zoni Blaster is highly effective at neutralizing threats temporarily, providing the team with valuable reprieve when facing dangerous enemies.
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 becomes available later than those of other character-specific weapons. A possible reason is that its area-wide time-slowing effect could have trivialized Rossa Fields and allowed players to bypass the threat of the venixx too easily.
