@@alexbevan2183 There’s no way. They actually interact with the online foam community. They’re not a giant toy company; they’re a hobby company who listens.

Oh i would love to see a return of the air bladder blasters nerf had an air bladder 30 shot chaingun back in the day... i also had a smaller 6 dart air bladder blaster. I never really liked the electric flywheel blasters... Air power is where it's at for me.
So, I got one of these and and a holster, and went to a 24v24 Nerf battle. I asked if someone could play "Big Iron" on the loudspeakers, and the decided "Eh, why not." There was a guy with a modded Prometheus Proton Pack. After 20 of my teammates tried and failed to tag him I had to start singing "20 men had tried to take him 20 men had made a slip 21 would be the ranger with the Big Iron on his hip, Big Iron on his hip." I was the 21st, and I had tagged him.
It's kinda sad, but I can't put it past Hasbro morphing the promo language for Nerf into something like, "Nerf don't hurt" as Dart Zone/Adventure Force keep providing interesting and unique blasters.
Even though I have my completely overhauled ood 3S Perses kit, AND a tier one 2S Stryfe, AND the Nexus and the Aeon, my favorite BY FAR is the MK2, not just in 2020/2021, but of all time! Even as a primary this is just an absolute dream.
A great assessment, as usual. My personal favorite of the bunch is the Nexus due to its economy, ease of modding, number of aftermarket parts available for it, and effectiveness. I started out in the hobby with an EAT when I first started getting serious (read: nerdy as hell) about it and sunk a bunch of money and time into it to get it doing just PART of what the Nexus does out of the box. I just wish someone made a button-style rail attachment that made pressing the priming lock release easier for shotgunning it (hint hint) since I like doing that occasionally but don't want to remove the lock permanently.
I'd been looking for a comparison for these exact four Pro blasters, but as cool as Dracs upgrades are I was wanting to see a comparison of the blasters side by side in stock form. But I respect that you've got to promote the merch. I'd have loved a video on the stock comparison and then another video talking about a new era of upgrades for the Pro Generation.
I have a Nexus and my brother has an Aeon. They’re both really fun to play with, I bought a cheap red dot and angled grip for my Nexus which really added to the feel of it. I don’t really have any use for a Mk1 but I would love to get my hands on a Mk2. I’ve always wanted to see a proper pistol form factor in this hobby.
Thanks for the video man! Started with having some awesome nostalgia getting my 5 year old son some nerf blasters, and now I'm looking at getting targets and probably that MKII plus the Nexus Pro for when we camp for the parents and grandparents :D Turns out I'm never going to stop being a big kid.
And to think that just a few weeks back I was checking out the nerf ultra range in my local store thinking "oh wow, I bet these are good" (before doing my research) 😂😂😂
imma be honest i dont know a lot of people to war with in the foam flinging space, but dartzone has rekindled my interest in the very idea of it. ive already purchased the nexus and the aeon JUST to support dartzone and i fully intend on buying the mk.2 for the same reason. a company who goes above and beyond for its consumer base is worth supporting in my mind.
one of my neighbors does a charity garage sale where she goes and gets new in box stuff from stores and sells them at a discounted price and i found a nexus pro for $20. legit my favorite blaster ever. vertical mag well like the alpha trooper and foregrip like the rampage (my 2 favorite nerf brand blasters), just makes the nexus pro my favorite blaster. I thought my modded rampage shooting up to 105 fps shot hard. 150 fps nexus pro, just amazing. in love with this blaster
DZP MK1.1 is so good that I can consistently kill a roach if it crawls up the wall from the other side of the room. I have all 4 of these blasters and the 1.1 is the most accurate and deadly to roaches.
Primary wise i think it’s going to be Nexus pro because it’s much cheaper. Secondary wise I am stuck between DZP MK2 and Aeon pro, while one of them is smaller the other one is compatible with both types.
@@zionistsarewarcriminals That is a good idea but I don’t know when they will be back in stock (Because i live in the uk I can’t buy them so i have to import them like buy from an ebay reseller, fortunately i have found an European site however it’s currently out of stock and it is sold for nearly twice the price but with cheap shipping but the aeon pro is also nearly double the price so i am not really sure)
Thanks for another VEDID! My favourite out of these is definitely the Pro MK2 but I do love them all. All of your work is amazing and I always enjoy it, thank you!
Just some simple math. Keep in mind you can buy 2 nexus pros and 2 aeon pros (that's four blasters) for the price of the mk 1 pro. That's exactly what I did for Christmas. Bought myself a primary and secondary, and my son the same.
My day was made better today because I heard an Aeon Flux reference. That was one of my favorite shows growing up, when I was probably way too young to be watching it XD
I really wish the target exclusives came in orange. It just feels safer for outdoor use. I understand why it's red and it does look good but it messes with my peace of mind especially with the pistol's silhouette
I discovered the Stryker at a local Dirt Cheap. Was an experimental buy that turned out amazing. Figured anything that is willing to acknowledge the community's half-length dart standard is a good get. I was right.
If you don’t mind me asking, how is it out of hand? This is beautiful, the pro line is the new best, out of hand would be... ALL THE HASBRO REMAKES!!!!
It’s a quote from The Phantom Menace. Please don’t tell me you’re too young for a quote from The Phantom Menace. I don’t think I could handle realizing I’m that old... J/k - I saw Empire Strikes Back in its first theater run... I’m old af.
I have the Nexus Pro. Was just able to pick one up. I'm hoping to get out and find a war or a HvZ or something to field-test some of the stuff I've bought.
Best one in my opinion is that Mk2. It is so revolutionary. Tiny as hell, 6 shots, shoots like twice faster, gives free holster and 2 speed loaders, gives 18 darts to nerf who just gives minimum.
Dam,2020 truly has been da Best and Worst year of blasters EVER,have Dart Zone killing it w Spectrum,Villainator,MK 2,1.1,Aeon and Nexus and Nerf Dropping da ball w Ultra 1,2,3,Elite 2.0 Phoenix,Echo,Nerf Fortnite,it’s so crazy dat it’s da best and worst year for blasters,I’m very proud to see how much Dart Zone has upped and elevated our standards for stock blasters and it gives modders and fans wat we WANTED and not ignoring us like Hasbro
Are you actually seeing the damn thing in stock when you go online? ALL I see whenever I check Target's site is ''Sold out''. Notifications don't help, because when I receive them and check, it already says ''Sold out'' again!
Dart Zone hit it out of the park! They gave us the best blasters this year. For the top 5 best Nerf Blasters of this year, the entire Pro line takes the number one spot.
Thanks for the overview Drac! The way things are going, early 2021 will see DartZone release a blaster the size of the Secret-Shot that hits 200FPS out of the box.
150 fps is cool, but Rival is more fun imho. Sniping isn't as much fun as assaulting with rapid fire and 160+ rounds already loaded. Your primary should be a Proton Pack 😆
I don't think the two dart zone pro blasters are best employed as a duo loadout, I think the DZP rifle is best with a full auto secondary like a full auto stryfe and the DZP pistol is best with a big full auto primary like a nemesis or prometheus, or a backpack fed blaster, and with the DZP pistol for long range snipes.
This last time for the DZ 2, I even took a break for lunch to try to get one earlier but it was sold out STILL. Kinda frustrating, honestly. I want it so bad.
Ha, got a Nerf ultra ad before this video. No thank you nerf, seen more then one reviewers content on that line. I don't think I'd buy one cheap at a thrift store. Got an Aeon Pro yesterday. Work at Walmart, day before my birthday and we finally got some in.
To be fair, the Ultra springers have really good springs that are almost comparable to k25/k26's. If you find them at a thrift store for $2 or something, buy them for the springs or rebarrel to Elite diameter darts if you're learning how to mod.
No love for Ceda S. Not a bad blaster, just a bit creaky and wobbly due to cheap thin shell. But on the plus side, those take down pins actually do something and let you swap spring out in no time unlike DZP Pro Mark I.
Well, this is a Dart Zone only video. Hopefully, he does another "High Power Nerf Rifle" video again. There's so many new options compared to a year ago. Worker got the Terminator, Jet Blaster have like 3 variants of the Ceda S and the 3D printer community have way too many to keep track of.
I can’t wait for my son to open his nexus pro on Christmas so I can play with it
whut you got him one for christmas??? he's gonna go crazy...
Buy an MK2 for you or you're going to be unable to defend yourself.
Lol he's gonna kill you
Lol
Lmao you sound like a cool dad.
The lines on the DZP and those rubberized tactical surfaces are so sick. Dart Zone is destroying this year. They no longer are merely the competition; they’re the standard.
Let’s hope they don’t become as bad as nerf now taking over from them.
No way they are WAY better than the standard!

Would love to see them put out something automatic, maybe an air blatter vector or something. Would be cool with short darts.

So entertaining to listen to even as somebody who has no experience in the hobby.

And then the nerf guns clapped.
Good song
Which gun was it?
Awesome blasters! Unfortunately by the time they reach Europe their price has literally doubled...
Thanks for getting me as invested in the hobby as I am now drak. If it wasn't for you, I would have never known how fun this can be.
I could listen to you go on about how much you love the actual improvements in the hobby forever.
It's kinda sad, but I can't put it past Hasbro morphing the promo language for Nerf into something like, "Nerf don't hurt" as Dart Zone/Adventure Force keep providing interesting and unique blasters.

Us last year with the Perses: Nerf has finally listened to us!
Dart Zone this year:
A great assessment, as usual. My personal favorite of the bunch is the Nexus due to its economy, ease of modding, number of aftermarket parts available for it, and effectiveness. I started out in the hobby with an EAT when I first started getting serious (read: nerdy as hell) about it and sunk a bunch of money and time into it to get it doing just PART of what the Nexus does out of the box.

Best?
Yesss new video... within this time period it would be awesome to see a budget mod guide, maybe even a series on it
Saw the word pro and i Never clicked faster
true
DZP MK1.1 is so good that I can consistently kill a roach if it crawls up the wall from the other side of the room. I have all 4 of these blasters and the 1.1 is the most accurate and deadly to roaches.
It almost sounds like you're enjoying it to the point of maybe deliberately leaving some crumbs out for the little buggers to find?!
Primary wise i think it’s going to be Nexus pro because it’s much cheaper.
Secondary wise I am stuck between DZP MK2 and Aeon pro, while one of them is smaller the other one is compatible with both types.
buy the MK2
obi-wan why do you want blasters I thought they were uncivilized
@@olsentajon3312 Nerf blasters are the uncivilised and inaccurate ones, I can give dart zone blasters an exception.

The future is Flux. Also Dart Zone.
No nerf in the title and no nerf blaster in the video, that say something about nerf
First video I’ve upvoted in ages. Due in no small part to a pistol being spun just the once.

The MK-II is also my favorite out of the 4, and it pairs perfectly with the Orion Lynx.

Thanks for the overview Drac!
The way things are going, early 2021 will see DartZone release a blaster the size of the Secret-Shot that hits 200FPS out of the box.
I’m just getting back into nerf since n-strike. I got a Nexus that I didn’t realize was golden until I got home
150 fps is cool, but Rival is more fun imho. Sniping isn't as much fun as assaulting with rapid fire and 160+ rounds already loaded.
Your primary should be a Proton Pack 😆
Put a brass barrel in the darts on pro Mark 2
Dart zone is officially number 1
I hope they make an Adventure Force Spectrum Pro
I’m getting a nexus pro because I prefer the pump grip
Oki boss
the nexus pro is soo good ,, and i luv the mk2 , i dislike the 1.1 i see no point , great vid drac thanks
Wtf I just got the ultra pharaoh ad 🤣
my favorite is definatly the aeon pro becaue i come from the top prime land.
I don't think the two dart zone pro blasters are best employed as a duo loadout, I think the DZP rifle is best with a full auto secondary like a full auto stryfe and the DZP pistol is best with a big full auto primary like a nemesis or prometheus, or a backpack fed blaster, and with the DZP pistol for long range snipes.
Love your videos man! Also gotta agree with the DZP mk2 as top pick.
Dart Zone blasters sell out immediately. The day of release, every time I come come from work they are already sold completely out.
This last time for the DZ 2, I even took a break for lunch to try to get one earlier but it was sold out STILL. Kinda frustrating, honestly. I want it so bad.
Ha, got a Nerf ultra ad before this video. No thank you nerf, seen more then one reviewers content on that line. I don't think I'd buy one cheap at a thrift store. Got an Aeon Pro yesterday. Work at Walmart, day before my birthday and we finally got some in.
Let me guess... the pharaoh?
To be fair, the Ultra springers have really good springs that are almost comparable to k25/k26's. If you find them at a thrift store for $2 or something, buy them for the springs or rebarrel to Elite diameter darts if you're learning how to mod.
Gald to see you creating and adding to the hobby...
Got all of them but the Aeon and I can't wait for the MKII.
Shame there is none for sale in the UK. I would love an Aeon Pro.
No love for Ceda S. Not a bad blaster, just a bit creaky and wobbly due to cheap thin shell. But on the plus side, those take down pins actually do something and let you swap spring out in no time unlike DZP Pro Mark I.
Well, this is a Dart Zone only video. Hopefully, he does another "High Power Nerf Rifle" video again. There's so many new options compared to a year ago. Worker got the Terminator, Jet Blaster have like 3 variants of the Ceda S and the 3D printer community have way too many to keep track of.
Hey Drac! You got that idea for the little rocket from me XD
I can't wait to see it tho lol.
so basically, the best kit would be nexus pro primary aeon pro secondary and the mk2 handgun
I want to say the mk2 could be used for just about every load out you would need
