Talk:Zapinator

I WOULD want the Zapinator back in the new version of the game. It's a really awseome weapon. I don't know how this can be arranged but I'm just giving an idea, and it would be awseome if you could take 2 Phoenix Blasters, 15 Hellstone Bars and a jungle Rose and make it at a Demon Alter or normal crafting table. Just sayin'.
 * Yeah, it'd be great to have a weapon which renders all monsters and bosses in the entire game utterly pointless and makes the game boring. I wholeheartedly agree.

still exists
it can still be obtained with INVedit, so I added that.
 * Not anymore. I figured that's what the page meant by it was left in the game, since I can't imagine anything dropping the zapinator... how was it obtained before being patched? 78.105.8.153 14:19, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Seriously. The text claims "Ironically, this item, intended to cause damage, was replaced by a healing item."

Later on, same page... "1.0.1: Replaced by Angel Statue."

Either the Angel Statue has a use, the Zapinator's page is wrong, or the in-game running joke about the Angel Statue actually having a use has wormed it's way onto the wiki.

Talked about 3ds Zapinator reports
People have been posting images of the Zapinator as a drop from Plantera in the 3ds version, with the glitched name "ITEMNAME[5705]". should this be put on the wiki page? Haven't been able to find one with no modifier, but with the Demonic modifier, it has 57 magic damage, 15% crit chance, insanely fast speed, very weak knockback, and 2 mana use.
 * This is almost certainly unintentional, and should not be reported on a wiki page. This information needs to be reported to developers on the official forums, not here. Gearzein (talk) 02:27, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Should this be turned into a "3DS exclusive" item?

Wii U
Is anyone aware if the Zapinator is on the Wii U version? PlanteraBlade (talk) 05:28, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

1.4 re-implementation
I heard that this item is being added back to PC version in 1.4 upcoming update Player2170 (talk) 09:01, 19 March 2020 (UTC) You're right. There making 2 types of the Zapinator. Solyisis (talk) 21:36, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Zapinator Re-Implemention
I get why the Zapinator isn't on most other versions, but shouldn't it be on the Wii U and Nintendo Switch? I mean, the Zapinator is only on DS beacouse of copyrights, but Nintendo made the Wii U and Nintendo Switch too right? Just a thought. Solyisis (talk) 19:51, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Unknown Drop Chance?
I thought this was an official Wiki, made by the Terraria developers.. am I wrong? Piostephanie (talk) 03:11, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * AFAIK, Official does mean it is supported or at least acknowledged by the devs, but they do not read, edit or maintain the wiki. This is all up to the editors. Stat info comes easily and reliably for Desktop, as there are users who can access its source code, but the older versions where the Zapinator existed have no source code that we can see, therefore no way to find out its exact chance. --2057clones (talk) 03:21, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
