it’s absolutely unreal to see them pack so many quality of life improvements and performance upgrades into the same $50 package the original Nexus was sold at. well done, Dart Zone!
We're just about there to write off the first third of 2024, and Dart Zone had to come back and re-establish themselves as undisputed champion of in-store blaster brands.
Bought this as my first hobby purchase. Had watched a bunch of other reviews and channels, but you can def get people excited about products with your great talent for making and presenting vids. Thanks, Walcom, you are one of the very best content creators today!
I managed to get my hands on one a few days ago and and I’ve had the sight working great at around 15 meters. The aperture also isn’t bad for longer distances, just aim with the top crosshair and not the center. The lower barrel hasn’t been a big deal.
I took a step back from the foam flinging hobby a while ago, but this single blaster might bring me back faster than anything nerf could ever produce. Genuinely amazing dart zone
This thing got me just as hyped as the X-Shot Longshot did last year. Great performance, really cool profile and color, affordable. Just, awesome. Great review, as always!
0:21 I mean...it's kind of in his color scheme. And he IS an unrivaled genius. So does this imply he's moving from videogames to toys? Wouldn't put it past him.
My OG Nexus broke within two months of use, after that I bought a Worker Seagull. The difference in quality was substantial, however, the Nexus had a charm to it. It just felt like it could take a lot more punishment and I actually had a bit more fun using it. It's like comparing an old AK to a fancy AR. This new Nexus X is priced the same, and has features that the Seagull doesn't (slamfire, a free falling mag and an out-the-box 200fps performance). I might buy it one day
Dang, dart zone really has just been killing it ever since the original nexus pro. It’s amazing to see how much performance has been normalized for out of the box products compared to a decade ago or so when the nerf elite line was in its prime.
Super excited about this one. The announcement made it look phenomenal, and it sounds like it's delivering on the hype. Dart Zone suggested they had a Max Stryker X in the works, too, and if it's "just" the Nexus Pro X again, that'd be fantastic.
This, to me, feels like a perfect jumping on point if anyone is interested in the hobby. I haven't bought a dart blaster in years, but I'm so impressed by this thing that if I do get one, this would be it.
WS7 Omg this thing is absolutely ridiculous for $50.00. Thanks for the super entertaining and enthusiastic review. I can't believe the value and performance of this blaster. Keep up the great work. You sir are a Rock Star. Can't wait for the Aeon Pro X video.
what I find most striking about the blaster is not all the great features you detailed but the fact that they actually included TWO magazines AND Detailing on BOTH SIDES!!!!
The Nexus Pro was undoubtedly one of our favorite blasters out there. And yet somehow they managed to make it even better for the same price. Honestly we'll probably stick with the original since it can fire both full length AND short darts, but damn if the Nexus Pro X isn't a tempting purchase
Great review Walcom. I think the only thing I personally don’t like is the color purple. Everything about this blaster looks awesome. I’m enjoying the Aeon Pro X and the Nexus Pro X looks even better.
i don't think you mentioned, but it doesn't have backwards compatibility with older dart zone mags. works perfectly with talons tho, and they did say they'll sell their talons separately
My little nephew just got into nerf, so I went out and just picked this up for me. Threw on some stuff from a old real steel rifle that I don’t use anymore, mft stock, bcm qd mount, bcm forgrip, monstrum red dot and a peq-15 clone
PSA for X-Shot Longshot Pro owners that are considering this blaster: Yes, the included BCAR and PCAR works FLAWLESSLY with the Longshot. And of course, the Longshot's magazine works with the X while looking absolutely WICKED on it. Just get the Nexus Pro X, even if it makes you kinda regret having the Longshot (because the X just hits so much harder and feel higher quality), the cross compatibility is super nice.
Waoo! Dart Zone is really good in this type of blaster. They are showing a fair balance between price, performance, accuracy, and market availability. If they improve their manufacturing quality for the semi/auto short darts. They can control the market.
great review Walcom, Dart Zone once again embracing and elevating the high FPS foam blasting community. Im sure some old crusty nerfers will whine and complain about something before even testing a pro x, but I've learned to ignore gatekeeper "influencers" in our hobby.
@@mrsoisauce9017 Yes, the set itself includes the upgrade spring with two 8mm spacers that will get you 250 fps but there's also a weaker spring with no spacers that will get you sub 130 fps.
The nexus pro X is honestly amazing and i cant wait to get my hands on one from blaster time soon, dart zone really knocked it out of the park with this, to keep the price the same as the original nexus pro but improve literally everything single thing and include a bcar and pcar is absolutely mad, another thing is that as the end cap which keeps the spring in is the same as the original that means you should be able to use existing 3d printed spacers, also i think you mentioned it in the video but dart zone are planning to release a upgrade and downgrade spring for this with the upgrade and a 8mm spacer from dart zone themselves they it should be able to hit 250 fps, and sub 120 with the lower power spring, Also im now curious to see if the max stryker 2.0 is the same as this in a different shell or something slightly different 😊😊. Also that air seal is just *Chef's kiss.*
hi! i had a question, so does it come with a bcar? i'm sorry that part was a little confusing and i'm new to blasters and barrels. I thought the default one just came with an scar
Just got my Nexus Pro X on the same day as me writing this comment, and it quickly replaced my Max Stryker as my marksman rifle. However, if I need a real sniper, my modified Dart Zone Pro Mk 4 does still come out on top!
I gotta get one as an airsoft shotgun. I discovered you can slit the darts and turn them around with the centers big enough to put bbs in. Im probably gunna have to model out some ends to hold the darts closed for mag use.
So happy! 🎉 Used my old nexus a couple days ago and felt sad after 😢 My Dictator is way more satisfying.. even the solo is! 😂 You’ve convinced me that this is the next one! 🤗👍👍
You should have tested the Nexus Pro with the BCAR attachment as well! Pitting a BCAR/PCAR/SCAR blaster against one without any rifling isn’t a fair comparison IMO.
@@WalcomS7 yeah...honestly kind of a shame that Nerf just refuses to do anything anymore. If they put effort into making good stuff (even if its not hobby-level) things would be way different in Nerf as a whole.
@@KDogggamer28 I wouldn't say Nerf could never compete with this. We saw with the Nerf Pro Gelfire line that they could make good products. They just didn't want to until they found out whether or not the waters were receptive to their product. They're doing the same thing with the Stryfe X now, and I wouldn't be surprised if whatever comes after that ends up being far better than that
apparently according to certain laws in certain countries having a replica scope that is actually functional(laser, red dots etc) is illegal (mostly applied to bb gun attachments) but i assume dart zone took the safer route

Good lord, they decided to say "let's not save a few cents" and went full throttle for reputation
The sight that came with the Stryker was actually good for aiming at 50 feet, further than that I never used it
Only 20 seconds in and I can already tell this is blaster of the year.
It's going to be REALLY hard to beat...

There’s just something so satisfying about a nerf gun being this strong and accurate while being able to attach so many different parts
Dang, dart zone really has just been killing it ever since the original nexus pro. It’s amazing to see how much performance has been normalized for out of the box products compared to a decade ago or so when the nerf elite line was in its prime.
Ever since I got the Max Stryker and Nexus I just couldn't go back. Dart Zone stuff in general shoots so much better than nerf.

I am officially jealous of people that can have that beautiful piece of machinery, absolutely incredible!
I like the (new?) format when you're doing the target testing. Looks good.

I think the OG sights for the Nexus Pro were actually pretty good. You could adjust elevation on the fly.
That is the tightest grouping for a foam dart blaster I've ever seen, this is a must buy.

That Xshot Longshot is my fave blaster of all time and you made a WEEB SKIN FOR IT?! I am in love.
EDIT - 9:30 That was an amazing run holy moly
I feel like this, the harrier, and the trion, and maybe the x-shot long shot are the best springers in existence.

Been waiting for you to review this one from the day it was announced! 🔥🔥
@walcom, I know that you've figured out the factory sights by now, but the scope is supposed to be used with the front iron sight
There was an attempt to do that. Didn't really work out.
You should have tested the Nexus Pro with the BCAR attachment as well! Pitting a BCAR/PCAR/SCAR blaster against one without any rifling isn’t a fair comparison IMO.
do you have a link for the scope and stock you put on yourself?
