Longshot would be F tier. For starters, it had sub-N-Strike, no, that isn't a typo, performance, as they didn't upgrade it's internals. It wasn't really a zombie strike blaster to begin with, because it was just really a re marketed version with a little paint (not even the grip or anything.) It also didn't come with the front gun. But the worst part of this blaster was the price: it was between $35 and $50. For a 12-shot bolt-action rifle.
minecraft parodies v2 um, are you on crack dude? The Longshot is at the very least A tier. For starters it has a MASSIVE plunger tube, you can easily mod it to be BETTER than all of the other elite blasters, even if all you do is throw in a better spring. And then you can replace the bolt with either a homemade or aftermarket pump grip. Also, the Longshot had the best performance of all the N-Strike blasters anyway (because it’s a direct plunger, meaning they didn’t need to upgrade the internals because all of the other Elite blasters are also DP). The front gun was useless shell that you didn’t need (and probably didn’t want). Look man, when Longshots consistently still sell for $35 on eBay (and that’s original Longshots), I don’t think $35 is a ridiculous price. It’s certainly one I would pay for such a powerhouse of a blaster. Easy S tier.
@@ctgslayer If you want to waste a beautiful spring on that hellish blaster, I think YOU'RE the one on crack. The 'bolt action' feature tears up darts, and there are much better blasters to mod.
BTW! Zuru's Xcess predates the Flipfury by 3 years AND the modern Xcesses can take 2 half-darts per barrel making it a 12-shot, 24-round shotgun pistol!
I would like to see one for major off brand blasters (just the ok or good ones) Like the Zuru, Jet blaster, dart zone blasters that were cool in concept like the thermal hunter or turbo advance
For a Jolt, the Campdown is one of, if not the greatest. It's tac rail allows you to attach it to the Regulator barrels, or allows you to attach the dart carriers to it. Good for single dart games, if everyone else is using jolts
I mostly agree, but I love my scavenger. It's junkier looking than the slingfire, but it gave me my first nerf attachments lol...plus love the double-jolt :P
I would be interested in a tier list for the vortex line. What a my favorite manufacturer stock sights is from the Nitron. Some are good for playing around, not many competitive wise, and some less nightmarishly complicated than others.
Dude! Great job placing Nail biter at “A” tier. It may not have the performance but single prime single shot tech done well, which this is, is so damn cool. Lets hope Hasbro/Nerf continues to evolve this type of engineering to good enough for Rival.
I'd have moved the Fusefire up one more rank, but it's your list not mine :) A Vortex tier list would be nice although I think you covered most of those bases in your top-five-Friday list - 'still waiting on a 2019 Boom-Nitron offering from you too...
Thanks for this nice list. The two Zombie Strike blasters I own [Hammershot and Nailbiter] made the top tiers. Since I already have a Hammershot would you recommend a Flipfury as a second choice for a secondary blaster?
It’s me again, dropping in to encourage you to go through with the Vortex tier list just so we can get some more recognition for the Revonix (but also the rest of line is dope as hell so yeah do it coward)

Quadrot is a really good sidearm and takes spring upgrades well, much better than the Sidestrike a tier above it. Revreaper gets props for being one of the highest FPS stock blasters if you have the upper body strength. Great for bending the rules at "stock only" games. IMO Slingfire is should be lower, but that's only because the Sentinel exists. Mag fed is rare in ZS so it gets points for that.
From when I type this, at least 3 have been discontinued: Roughcut 2X4, Slingfire (upgrade released under the name Scravenger) and Doominator. That's the extent of my knowledge on the ones no longer on store shelves, but I haven't dug any deeper into it yet
3-D printed/mass-produced hobbyist blasters would be really amazing although it would be really hard to decide which ones to include Dart Zone/Zuru blasters would be really cool too Some of the smaller lines like Doomlands, Rebelle, etc could be combined into one video, and Elite maybe split up into 2 videos because there’s so many
Did the Nailbiter come out after this video, or...? Cuz that thing is relatively good, not as good as a Snapfire 8 or even a Voidcaster but still solid A tier. Otherwise, pretty solid list. A few minor changes I'd make but yeah. Definitely Vortex list next - I miss the Vortex line, one of my favorites.
Yeah, I have a few questions, first of all, how dare you? The Brainsaw is NOT a Roughcut, it has only a single plunger and can not double fire. Now, for some that's a positive as single fire for the Roughcut is difficult for many so I don't have to disagree with your grade just the reasoning. Next, the Quadrot is def at least up there with the Doublestrike. It's a solid pistol as seen by it's (so far) final form, the Alphastrike Fang. Lastly, the weird manual rev flywheel monstrosity...come on man, I get that Hoffer loves it but man, it's a spray and pray blaster at best. Outside of being incensed, you should have had a blown up photo of each blaster in the bottom corner of the vid the entire time you were discussing it. You had the space and would've helped people focus on what you said about each one. ANYWAY...Doomlands next?
The brainsaw is not a bayonet equipped roughcut. Instead of a pair of four shot smart ars, it has a single eight shot smart ar. Also, the pull cord to get the foam saw blade spinning will eventually saw through the shell plastic.
Love these tier vids keep doing them only thing is You forgot the magnus dual pack and clearshot the longshot the eraser and abolisher and the super soakers
I have 2 Flipfury's and they're really good for taking down a large group or going in to take over an area. If you know how to dual-wield them right, you're nearly unstoppable.
Lord Drac Great tier video. Totally love these. Great work the format is outstanding. Keep up the great work. Thanks for taking the time to do these for us. Edit: Thanks Pat super nice job putting this together
Technically the Revoltinator is not the only electronic z-strike blaster, strictly speaking. Didnt the fusefire have lights? Hey drac, do you just not post mod videos on youtube anymore? Is that twitch only these days?
When I went to school, an S grade meant Satisfactory and fell somewhere between a D and an F as there was no E. Before you start questioning my Alphabet, let’s just talk about that S before the A, shall we? Yeah, you still got nothing.
Jake Bordenca Well that would be Splendid if the letter grades were actually supposed to stand for anything. This isn’t Hogwarts where animal name acronyms refer to the final exams, sir.
I mean, I’m not trying to disagree that it doesnt make sense, I’m simply trying to provide an answer. Having an S tier IS pretty weird if we’re otherwise going in alphabetical order.
I agree pretty much straight on this one. Only one I'm iffy on is the Doominator, but that is mostly because of my experience with thrifted ones. I can give them the benefit of the doubt.
You have this all wrong about the blowgun: The reason it's bad is because of it's price ($10) which you got, and the diameter. You want the tube to be barely thicker than the dart, so that almost no air goes around it, but this blowgun's effective range is 1/5th that of a piece of 0.5 inch thick PVC, at about 8 feet.
Quadrot should really be B tier at the very least. That thing apparently can be easily modded to hit 160 fps, which makes it an awesome pistol hand cannon.
Hey drac, i would absolutely love to see a nerf mega blasters tier list or even a doomlands teir list, by far some of my favorite videos you have done, keep it up man, thanks💯
For me, the nailbiter is my fav of all time. Practicality be damned, its so low effort for so much shooting and I love the aesthetics. Looks kriss vektor ish with a stock too
Im very interested in seeing how you rank the elite line, it's got a good variety of electric and spring powered blasters... I ranked them as I watched and got every one except the vortex right, never used those so I wouldn't know
No one talking about how he called himself bargain bin Andrew Garfield?
wait, ONLY RIPLEY?
No
Bro i know
i thought it was pretty funny
Do nerf vintage tier list and a nerf elite tier list.
Waiel Sobhy one just n strike not elite
I agree with the nstrike, also for the nstrike elite
Elite tier list is defintily needed, it's hasbro's best line ever.
Too many of them
oh boi drac liked it, cant wait
Nice job. If you're including the Roughcut you need to include the ZS Magnus and Longshot.
Longshot would be F tier. For starters, it had sub-N-Strike, no, that isn't a typo, performance, as they didn't upgrade it's internals. It wasn't really a zombie strike blaster to begin with, because it was just really a re marketed version with a little paint (not even the grip or anything.) It also didn't come with the front gun.

The slingfire is based on the Lancaster repeater and Winchester 1886
"Unlike its zuru knockoff"
Drac, im sorry to tell you, but the zuru version was made before the flipfury
Play darth Vader nooooo track
HoldenPlayz you are right,but the zuru version is waaaayyyyyyyyyy worse
Yes, its worse, but that doesnt mean its a knockoff, you cant rip something off before it exists
Yes,bro.

This is awesome, Thanks!
Me: I wonder what is first? *cough* hammershot
where is the zombie strike longshot
I mean basically a longshot reskin with some better internals and a slingfire reskin but good point.
But he said he’d cover the reskins
Oh he did cover them

Mega tier list
I suggest a Doommlands tier list, considering they're being reissued and available at Target
The judge and lawbringer will be at the top
@@blizzardgaming7070 Lawbringer? Absolutely. Judge? Absolutely not.
I think we need a alien menace tier list so many diverse amazing blasters to rank
Ashton Lovell Sarcasm exists
I really wish Toys R Us could've survived at the time, I want more Alien Menace stuff.
I would like to see one for major off brand blasters (just the ok or good ones)
Like the Zuru, Jet blaster, dart zone blasters that were cool in concept like the thermal hunter or turbo advance
I only had the hammer shot from zombie line.
I don't know where i lost it 😟
Rip
I *HAD* the doublestrike. It broke. The plunger tube just did a *cracc.*
Flipfury gives me serious Dead Space plasma cutter vibes and I'm super into it
I think the best thing about the scravenger was the double barreled jolt.

And the barrel because there is no inner barrel

For tier lists
1. N strike
2. Doomlands
3. Rebel
4. Modulus
5. Elite
How about a rebelle tier list? Sweet revenge was even better than the hammershot!
Mmmmm no
For a Jolt, the Campdown is one of, if not the greatest. It's tac rail allows you to attach it to the Regulator barrels, or allows you to attach the dart carriers to it. Good for single dart games, if everyone else is using jolts
Definitely a Vortex "tier" list next. Loving this series, thank you.
My double shot is my favorite last ditch blaster and the hammershot is hands down the best pistol Nerf has ever made.
I honestly want to know what a vortex tier list looks like so do it plz
I mostly agree, but I love my scavenger. It's junkier looking than the slingfire, but it gave me my first nerf attachments lol...plus love the double-jolt :P

Honestly, jolts get alot of hate but they are actually kinda handy as a last chance gun
Edit: itd be nice if you did a jolt/jolt reskin tier list
The brainsaw is not a bayonet equipped roughcut. Instead of a pair of four shot smart ars, it has a single eight shot smart ar. Also, the pull cord to get the foam saw blade spinning will eventually saw through the shell plastic.
drac: give the sidestrike b tier.
c tier: am i a joke to you?
That was fun and interesting! I'd like to see Rebel tier list in the future
Always appreciate the content, and this is a neat series! Thanks!
Love these tier vids keep doing them only thing is You forgot the magnus dual pack and clearshot the longshot the eraser and abolisher and the super soakers
I love the tier videos. Great job.
Vortex is definitely a tier list I want to see, even if its just the shortly lived VTX line
I have 2 Flipfury's and they're really good for taking down a large group or going in to take over an area. If you know how to dual-wield them right, you're nearly unstoppable.
Drac I think you could take apart the double strike and crosscut and put the hammer prime system with quad rot
A modulus tier list might be interesting.
What’s the point of using a jolt when I could use 2 double strikes
Both fairly small and easily dual wield able
Bruh the Brainsaw just gives me those comic book like nerf vibes. Love it because of that.

With the crossfire, does the elastic band actually help or is it just cosmetic?
Just cosmetic Damion, I have a Crossfire 👍
zombie strike: we can do anything, so lets do crazy! and we dont care how it turns out, so long as its COOL!
Flashing lights and noise are the last things I want from my blasters when hunting zombies.
I would consider the rough cut a burst fire gun because it doesn't neccesarily shoot both at once
Alright, ik youre dreading this, but it’s time. Elite tier list. All blasters
where is the nailbiter or scravanger?
Little known fact: the sidestrike holster is compatible with the fire strike
Ok so Zombie Jolt needs to be SSS tier for the sexy jolt scope is it removable or no?
Sidestrike is still my sidearm Choice of perfection

Hello drac, i want a "nerf" blowgun but i dont know what measurement of PVC that i need to buy
That facecam looks like me right before I go to bed.
What about the Clear Shot, Longshot and Magnus? If a Roughcut repaint makes the list then you have to include all repaints.

Electric?
No Longshot?
Ok its a reskin but so is the roughcut and jolt...
I like the ripshot because if you jam a stick in it and press the buttons to pull the priming handle back you can shoot poker chips out of it
The double strike Smart IR can be popped out with two screws I use it as a shotgun pistol
Still waiting for an Elite tier list.
Standard Elite tier list. It'd be fantastic to see the entire mess that is made from it.
