I'd love to see more on the short dart kit for this blaster. I have the base model and absolutely love it as a single shot Rival sidearm, and you're right about the grip. In my smaller hands it is AMAZINGLY comfortable.
Fair warning, in my review/testing I had the screw on the plunger head seize in the priming bar while trying to change out the springs. This completely destroyed the screw and ruined my review of the blaster and it's mods as a whole. I feel that these may need to have replacement screws either added to the box or be offered somehow separately. From talks with others this doesn't happen often but its just something to be aware of.
The screw was a bit stiff on ours too… Maybe we'll take a look at supplying that screw if we don't have one already on the shop. Thanks for the comment! - Perry
120 fps is okay for rival. 135-140 is better. Sooooooo when I ordered mine off your site, I might have accidentally on purpose bought the 14kg spring instead of standard worker recommendation. This is dangerous I know, (I have 12 coil k25 flexes and varying ultra4's kicking arse so - this has to get up to spec to be a contender) I yanked the icon 'elements' pull tab right out of the back trying to use a stock helios spring. It fired ------ once, and what a glorious shot it was. On the second shot my hand jerked and recoiled as the plunger head severed/released the pull tab. I ended up inadvertently punching the back of the element scuffing almost every knuckle on my hand. Cheers - let's hope the 14kg cheetah works - if so - you'll probably be selling me another one. Niiiiice priiiiiice 12/9/22 $11. 3d printed solid is going to set me up with a 12 rd picatinny clip to get it up to 17 on board capacity. Cheh boii. (Beautiful hair Luke) PS - if you search 'Drac nerf element upgrade' you'll find him putting an ace hardware spring into it (ancient vid almost 10 years I think) which probably only fired one other time off camera. Don't worry if cheetah breaks it's my fault, i didna' listen.
I'm waiting on the Cheetah 2.0, I have a couple on the way. Short darts only, Talon magazine fed. Should be really great for dual wielding with the ring-pull prime.
@@noreason7112 Maybe, but I don't think so. I guess I'll see when they arrive. The AF Aeon has that top prime where pulling back cocks the spring, and pushing forward loads dart. With the ring pull on the Cheetah 2.0 I'm guessing the cocking mechanism is spring loaded so you don't need to push it forward by hand, and as it goes forward under its own spring power that loads a dart. Either that or you have to push the barrel out and in out to load a dart.
Looking on worker's website, I think it does indeed require the barrel to be moved forward and back. There's no ramrod in the blaster judging by the internals photos.
I just got one of you're rival Jupiter blasters I got the kit and it is the best blaster I have ever had and I just want to thank you for being amazing
I have a Cheetah 2.0 and I like it, its throw back loading system but not unbearable, and it shoots 180 - 190 fps outta the box....nice for plinking around.
This is a pretty nifty little pistol! I don't think this is the sort of thing I'd buy, but the magazine fed one definitely excites me. Thanks for showing us! 💜💙🧡
If you start up with Proton rounds, could you please try to get the white ones as glow in the dark variant? Or add it as an alternative? Headshot has been rather inconsistent recently with their quality and every other glow HIR on the market has serious issues with being too lightweight, squishy, undersized and generally terrible quality. Otherwise thanks for the great review!
the Cheetah stores 2 darts in the grip... remember the Nerf Retaliator had a hole in the grip for storing 1 dart? Why the heck did the Retaliator, a mag fed blaster, have a 1 dart storage in the grip... but NOT the 6 shot cylinder fed Nerf Disruptor?? =/
Having shot both recently, the Cheetah is more comfortable to hold (since the plunger tube isn't in the grip), and it doesn't take as many steps to reload. My preference would be the Cheetah. - Perry
If you do another video about this blaster I'd like to know how well it shotguns. (2 and 3 rounds, with and without the upgrade spring.) If it can be made to shoot 3 rounds to a reasonable range I'd be inclined to get some. (Even if that required rebarreling to hyper or half darts.)
This seems like something I'll want to consider grabbing, considering the conversion kits and grip that's probably better suited to my hands than yours.
I got the 2.0, and it seemed to have come without the screws and I somehow broke the o-ring but other than that I love it and the loading mechanism is somewhat inconvienent but it also allows for easy shotgun loading.
Most likely it's a last line of defense so it's like a jolt also it could have way better internals also this isn't meant to be a replacement for the kronos it's meant to be a replacement for the rival single shot pistols ( I can't remember the name. What you are missing is that you are looking at the wrong utility for it kronos is a secondary this blaster is for when your secondary is out like I said it's in the same utility family as the jolt
Here's a short answer. They're different mechanisms. Musket style single shot VS repeater. 2 completely different battle styles. Kronos vs Cheetah "that's a paddlin'."
Pointless We already do this kind of blaster via modded nitefinder/firestrikes except the reason we tolerate the clumsy muzzle loading in that form is because they're Just Modded Nitefinders, its all we had to work with! WHY would you design a commercial product that replicates jankmode? Why would I pay for that? Heck even Some mods outclass this when people make brass breechloaders.
I dont want to pile on, but the music is a bit loud on the intro. Usually with music it's supposed to be barely noticeable compared to the content, fades in for intro (still quiet) then fades out again for content.
Sorry! The music must have been mastered louder than usual. The balance sounded okay when editing though, so I don't know exactly what happened. I'll watch out for it next time! - Perry
It feels like Worker took part of a page from Hasbro's page, adding "2.0" to a blaster and hope no one notices the difference.
3:50 Finally, I can do civil war re-enactments with nerf darts
time to attach a stock and bolt handle
@@anthony2be559 not a good muzzle loader without bayonets lads
I was wondering about this blaster when I saw it go up on the shop
lol i saw it yesterday as well
same
i was really hoping that clear ball storage in the bottom was a magazine
yeah me to
Me three, like a shotgun, and when you reload the spring it would draw in another ball
holy jeesus, that intro music as so loud, made me spill my drink🤣
Sorry! - Perry

Mine arrived recently, and it's been fantastic so far! Really fun blaster. Thanks for getting it out to us, Luke!
Ok, so put cheese balls, call dat blaster,
*CHEETO*
The worker knockout is here!

OoD
That was a pretty sweet look at this new offering from Worker. Thanks for all the info. Keep up the great work.
If those rounds can be mass produced and the higher mass and density makes a significant difference in performance, I will happily buy several hundred

Ball shooting version of the Sharp Shooter!
I'm waiting on the Cheetah 2.0, I have a couple on the way. Short darts only, Talon magazine fed. Should be really great for dual wielding with the ring-pull prime.
I think the cheetah 2.0 requires a seperate action to actuate the breech, however.

I like this. Not too bad and it looks fairly holsterable

Just ordered the cheetah 2.0 off worker. Almost double of the cheetah 1.0 lol
Buying anything from Worker it's like keeping up with fashion trends.. you always buy for NEXT season.
Supercore + Cheetah 2.0 seems like fun.
I am excited for the short dart mod for it
This is a pretty nifty little pistol! I don't think this is the sort of thing I'd buy, but the magazine fed one definitely excites me. Thanks for showing us! 💜💙🧡
Now that I have a proton pack I have to choose another product I want on the shop.
Luke where's the ultra pharo conversion kit.
I bought one and I’m having so much fun
If you start up with Proton rounds, could you please try to get the white ones as glow in the dark variant? Or add it as an alternative?
Headshot has been rather inconsistent recently with their quality and every other glow HIR on the market has serious issues with being too lightweight, squishy, undersized and generally terrible quality.
Otherwise thanks for the great review!
Gotta love the rate of fire of a flintlock pistol! Jk I love y’all at OOD keep it up!
Cool blaster great review
I’d love to see the short dart kit and performance.
Never mind. Watched all the way through and I think the Cheetah 2.0 will cover what I’m interested in.
the Cheetah stores 2 darts in the grip... remember the Nerf Retaliator had a hole in the grip for storing 1 dart?
Why the heck did the Retaliator, a mag fed blaster, have a 1 dart storage in the grip... but NOT the 6 shot cylinder fed Nerf Disruptor?? =/
I was just wondering how did you acquire your edge Helios
I want rush fun in its halfdaet config
I would like to see a rival mag feed mod.
Looks good! Seems like the knockout is it's nearest, ahem, rival- so which is better?
Having shot both recently, the Cheetah is more comfortable to hold (since the plunger tube isn't in the grip), and it doesn't take as many steps to reload. My preference would be the Cheetah. - Perry
If you do another video about this blaster I'd like to know how well it shotguns. (2 and 3 rounds, with and without the upgrade spring.) If it can be made to shoot 3 rounds to a reasonable range I'd be inclined to get some. (Even if that required rebarreling to hyper or half darts.)
You should take a look at hyper. I have seen other youtubers reviewing the new hyper blasters. Not sure if the hype lives op for it
Ultra, for the new pinpoint rounds they will be selling
This seems like something I'll want to consider grabbing, considering the conversion kits and grip that's probably better suited to my hands than yours.
Surely it can shotgun fire?
Wouldn't the Kronos be another comparison? OOD has an upgrade spring for that too.
Very interested to see a 2.0 review. Is that two part action loading mechanism a deal breaker?
jolt reskin
Another jolt re-skin ya?
Why dont build someone a drum talon mag for full auto nerf guns?
I like that !!!!
I got the 2.0, and it seemed to have come without the screws and I somehow broke the o-ring but other than that I love it and the loading mechanism is somewhat inconvienent but it also allows for easy shotgun loading.
Can it shotgun rival balls
Yes, but with diminished performance. - Perry
Sniff sniff, do I smell *jolt reskin*?
No you don't. You see one
How much will this be I want one now
More mod videos
Isn't this the blaster I have seen that has serious issues with stripped screws?
I don't think so… the screws weren't stripped when we upgraded the spring before filming. - Perry
I've been grabbing Kronos for $3. They can hold 6 and shoot just as hard with better ergonomics. What am I missing?
Most likely it's a last line of defense so it's like a jolt also it could have way better internals also this isn't meant to be a replacement for the kronos it's meant to be a replacement for the rival single shot pistols ( I can't remember the name.

Here's a short answer. They're different mechanisms. Musket style single shot VS repeater. 2 completely different battle styles. Kronos vs Cheetah "that's a paddlin'."
Or you can upgrade a bigshock
Does it have a hopup tab for HIRs?
Yes, there's a built-in hop-up with the stock barrel. - Perry
You know what they say about small hands....
Love the blaster but I honestly see the talon fed one being used more, its essentially a small aeon pro
Cheeto.
Hay
What if u shove a mega dart in it
I like the way you think…
Nitefinder with a talon mag? Shut up and take my money 💰
The EDM music intro was a bit much.
Car ram rod
Pointless
We already do this kind of blaster via modded nitefinder/firestrikes

Why do i want cheeto’s?

Why
Second comment BTW love your vid :)
Try to upgrade it go ahead I'll wait lol it gonna break
But we did upgrade it… before we shot the video… - Perry
@@outofdarts so u were able to get the swrew off the plunger head without it breaking?
Yes, we did. That's how we got the performance numbers for the upgrade spring. - Perry
First comment
hehe
Was I the only one who immediately lost interested when he pushed the ball into the barrel? No thanks
A single shot ? That is disappointing, from the images looked like a smaller and better Kronos
It’s 29 dollars
Us dollars
I don’t get why it’s so much it only shoots 85 fps.
loose the music. seriously, loose the music, If I wanted to go to a bloody rave id do that instead of watching your content
Well now my vote is for more music. Something more intense.
