  • Always glad to see another Rival blaster join the family, especially in 2024. I haven’t had a chance to pick up the Mirage yet but I will. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this mixed review of the Nerf Rival Challenger!

    I liked hearing your thoughts on this thing! The lower FPS is so confusing! Back in 2016, the Khaos hit 90's on 6 alkaline batteries! The Perses hits over 100 on its 9.6 volt rechargeable! If only this blaster included a rechargeable battery!

      I've noticed a lot of inconsistency between these new Rival blasters, some people are having problems, and some aren't, it's really odd

    The 9.6V was a must. I love mine with that set up. I swore I did something wrong modding it when mine jammed. It's just manufacturer defect. That gummy feeling of the trigger is the pusher sliding across the next round. It's double sprung to help assist it to not do this, but it isn't strong enoungh. Other rival blasters cycles fine idk how they screwed that up.

    I was pretty astounded when this dropped without support for any of the previous Rival rechargeable options. I'm not shelling out the cost of 8 AAs for mediocre performance - I'll stick with my Hera.
    Also FYI, that swiveling bar on the front is NOT a sling point; if you hook a sling to it, it will eventually break off because it's not tied into anything. Those are for attaching your team flags to so people can see which team you're on. That's why they're so common on Rival blasters that don't have red/blue variants (but not on all of them... because reasons?).

      @@maritimefoam I don't blame you, I very much wish they were. If I didn't know any better I'd say Hasbro somehow has stock in single-point slings with how often they give us a rear sling point but not a forward one.
      I've had to paracord jerryrig many a front sling point in this hobby - it rarely looks good, but at least I'm not getting nailed in my nether regions every 3 steps.

    Nothing about this model stands out over it's stablemates, it just seems a little underwhelming. The blue and yellow colour scheme is ok, but it's otherwise aesthetically challenged. Perhaps if it had a stock of some kind attached and that awful yellow rail on top were removed, it wouldn't look so bad. It a weird mix of steampunk and 1960s psychedelia. 😵‍💫
