The Zapper is an upgrade to Evil West’s melee weapon, the Gauntlet, which provides you with additional abilities and significant perk upgrades to help you kill those vampires quickly. Here is everything you need to know about the best Zapper build in Evil West.
The Best Zapper Build in Evil West
The Zapper upgrade to the Gauntlet unlocks two of the best abilities in the game, which are the Zapp Pull and the Zapper Dash. The Zapper Pull will pull vampires to you, and our build will work in tandem with this ability. Likewise, the Zapper Dash allows you to dash to vampires. Depending on how many vampires there are and the environment you are in will determine which of these two abilities you will use.
