The Thirst Zapper is a weapon in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.
Characteristics
The Thirst Zapper is a water shooting weapon, in the shape of a Nuka-Cola bottle. This weapon is needed for shorting out Colter's power armor.
It can also be used in three of the Nuka-Cade games as the weapon for the bandit roundup game, Whac-a-Commie or the Nuka-Zapper Race.
The basic Thirst Zapper has unlimited ammunition in a sense, unequipping and re-equipping the Thirst Zapper adds a bottle of ammunition to the Sole Survivor's inventory. Upon re-equipping the Thirst Zapper, they can then fully reload it with a bottle that appears similar to the ammunition produced for modified Thirst Zappers.
Finding the Project Cobalt schematics will allow the Sole Survivor to upgrade it into a functional and deadly weapon.
The weaponized Thirst Zapper, when used in V.A.T.S., will home in on enemies as if it had the missile launcher's targeting computer.

Locations
- First obtained during the quest Taken for a Ride.
- Two can be found inside the Nuka-Cade (respawns after some time away).
- One can be found in the Secure beverageer lab, next to the Project Cobalt schematics.
- One can be found in Kiddie Kingdom, on the counter of the Nuka-Zapper Race stand.
Notes
- The Thirst Zapper is advertised on billboards in the Commonwealth as a "Nuka Blaster" and would come free with every box of Nuka-Cola purchased. One such billboard is located on the eastern edge of the Red Rocket truck stop.
- When weaponized with Quantum, the Thirst Zapper can do as much damage as a Fat Man on certain occasions.
- When outfitted with the Quantum or Cherry ammunition, the damage output is affected by Demolition Expert.
- Despite dealing radiation damage with the Nuka-Cola upgrade, the damage output is not affected by Nuclear Physicist.
- The Thirst Zapper cannot be stored on a weapon rack.
- When reloading the Thirst Zapper, the player character pours a bottle of Nuka-Cola into an opening that strongly resembles a bottle opener.
- Since the Thirst Zapper is a pistol type weapon it is affected by the Gunslinger perk, and at the 5th tier doubles pistol damage, the Quantum mod's base damage could double causing a devastating shot.
