The **Rainbow Blaster**, simply known as **R. Blaster** in the HUD for spacing reasons, is a Blaster added in the v0.9.2 "*Season 2 Has Arrived*" update on March 9, 2020. The Rainbow Blaster only has 1 shot and will disappear from the HUD if fired. The blaster deals 1000 explosion damage on impact, and is an instant kill. (If flak jacket was available in , the weapon would do 100 damage, and with more armor on this weapon could do as little as 31.6 damage. This would be with max level 4 armor and the flak jacket perk)

## Pros and Cons

### Pros:

* Massive damage
* Huge range

### Cons:

* Needs to be charged
* Can fire once, and then it's immediately discarded

## Strategies

### Using

* Try to make sure that the bullet will definitely hit the enemy, as this weapon is single-use.
* Using it with an 8x or 15x Scope can be deadly, as you have the potential to one-shot-kill enemies without them seeing you.

### Countering

* Move around a lot and be unpredictable, while shooting at the user with a high-fire rate weapon, such as a MAC-10. Their movement speed will be reduced as the blaster charges, giving an opportunity to kill them before they fire. However, this is unlikely to work on experienced players.
* Hide behind obstacles and tempt the player to shoot therefore wasting the single-use weapon.

## Trivia

* The Rainbow Blaster does an unblockable 1000 damage and 1000x damage to obstacles (totaling 1 Million (1,000,000)). This makes the Rainbow Blaster the highest-damage weapon in the game. The 1000 damage guarantees a kill on hit. This is overkill however, as a weapon that does 317 damage (≈316.4557) will be enough to kill a survivr who has a Level 4 Vest and a Level 4 Helmet, the most protective Equipment in the game.
	+ The Flak Jacket perk provides 91% protection against the damage (90% explosion protection and 10% as an all source protection (damage taken calculated as `damage*(1-0.9)*(1-0.1)` = `damage*(1-0.91)`)), meaning that without armor and with the Flak Jacket perk it would deal 90 damage, allowing the player to tank a shot. Flak Jacket combined with full level 3 armor would reduce its damage to 41.3325; with level 4 armor it would deal 28.44 damage. If the player manages to use both Flak Jacket and Cast Ironskin, with no armor it would deal 45 damage, with full level 3 armor it would deal 20.66625 damage, and with full level 4 armor it would deal 14.22 damage. However, since Flak Jacket does not spawn in the event this is in, the player can not tank a hit and still survive without using the Growler, which protects the player from death one time within 20 seconds of using it.
* This is the only weapon to have a different color in the HUD.
* This is the only weapon to need a charge before firing.
* The Rainbow Blaster isn't preloaded as it appears on the ground, but its reload speed is nearly instant. Due to this, you can quickswitch to prevent the blaster from loading, and end up with one piece of Rainbow Ammo in the inventory. It is unknown if this is fixed yet.
* This is the fifth weapon to have a maximum ammo capacity of one. The others are the Flare Gun, AWM-S (temporarily during the "*Meteor shower*" event), Bugle, and M79.
* The world sprite's name of the gun is "gun-rainbow-blater.img". The "blater" is a typo, potentially caused by Kongregate.
* There is a glitch where when there is loot right next to an obstacle, and the obstacle is destroyed with the Rainbow Blaster, the loot goes flying off the map.
* This is the first weapon to disappear from the HUD after one shot.
* This weapon has the longest name (14 characters) out of all the weapons in the game.
* The loot image for the Rainbow Blaster does not have a trigger.
