In a couple cases, we just gave up trying to get more than a handful of people in the game. Literally every game needed 20-40 minutes before we finally got everyone in - we never pinpointed the root cause, but a combination of restarting Chrome (emptying cache), relogging into Stadia, rebooting PCs and re-hosting a match, we managed to play a few titles. Some people couldn't even make an account because they didn't have a credit card (even though we planned to mostly play free titles).

The projectile shot by the Zapinator is also used by the Space Gun.I can't speak about Nvidia, but we just hosted a ~25 person LAN party at work and decided to go with Stadia.However, due to the introduction of the Gray Zapinator and the Orange Zapinator, it is highly unlikely that this will be introduced into the Nintendo Switch version. While the former may receive the Zapinator at some point in the future, the Wii U never will, as the Old-gen consoles are no longer receiving updates. Despite that, both the Nintendo Switch version and the Wii U version of Old-gen console version lack the Zapinator.This might also explain why it was subsequently re-added to the Nintendo 3DS version – there would be no conflict with Nintendo for this instance.

This could explain why the Zapinator was removed from the PC version, as it could cause copyright problems between Re-Logic and Nintendo.

The NES Zapper was most notably used in the game Duck Hunt.

The Zapinator's name and sprite resemble the NES Zapper, an electronic light gun accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

The Zapinator was re-introduced along with the 1.4.0.1 version as two separate items, the Gray Zapinator and the Orange Zapinator.

At the time, it was essentially the most powerful weapon in the game, though since update 1.1 and the release of Hardmode, this has ceased to be true.

It was originally released on the PC version, but was removed in the 1.0.1 update, replacing them with Angel Statues.

The Zapinator was used by the developers in the PC version to test certain content prior to Terraria's official release, used to kill enemies instantly so they would not be interrupted during testing.

Because the Zapinator consumes lots of mana when fired rapidly, the Mana Flower is helpful to continuously use it.
