Rainbow Blaster

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 damage on hit, causing an instant and unavoidable kill.  This weapon can only be obtained as generated loot, as players will not drop the blaster when killed.

## Strategies

### Using

* Try to make sure that you've aimed correctly and the bullet will definitely hit the enemy, as this weapon is single use.
* Using it with an 8x Scope can be deadly, as you have the potential to one-shot 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 you 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% of the remaining 10% as an all sources protection), meaning that without armor and with the Flak Jacket perk it would deal 90 damage, allowing you to tank a shot. Using Flak Jacket combined with full level 3 armor it would deal 41.3325, with full level 4 armor it would deal 28.44 damage. If you manage to use both Flak Jacket and Cast Ironskin, with no armor it would deal 63 damage, with full level 3 armor it would deal 28.93275 damage, and with full level 4 armor it would deal 19.908 damage. However, since Flak Jacket does not spawn in the event this is in, you can not tank a hit and still survive without using the Growler, which protects you 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 you 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 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.
