At first I saw it and thought “hey this pretty awesome but seems a little redundant why not just use the Jupiter as your primary?” and then after a few minutes I realized… “Captain you absolute Genius” I would have never thought about using the Jupiter as an attachment for crowd control if the horde got to close. You my good man are truly always ahead of the curb.
Man, I'm not even a Nerf player, but this stuff is amazing. And the bit with Out Of Darts was hilarious. And the tilting out of frame lmao. Keep being a genius
This really is remarkable. The way you can detach it and use it as a stand-alone pistol is a very well thought out feature for if the backpack ever goes down. I love that the proton pack mechanism is getting a production release, it will make them a lot more accessible.
As you dais, I was always confused as to why your FDL had a Jupiter handle, and this explains it! This whole loadout looks like a massive amount of ridiculous fun, I like the idea of having a self-reloading part that can have covering fire whilst you're reloading the magazines, super nifty! Thanks so much for making this video, what a pleasure to watch! 🧡🖤
I'd had a similar idea but to permanently mount a cut up Zeus to the side of a blaster for a last minute burst fire, this is just way more modular, and I like it
I cannot stop laughing while I watch this. This is the type of absolute absurdity that I wish I could do, but do not have the resources or knowledge to do. I thank you captain and salute you.
The fact that you have an amazing blaster, with another amazing blaster on that amazing blaster, is just amazing. May your build inspire other amazing and crazy builds.
I had spotted the FDL on your pegboard like a year ago or so. But I must say, the rail-mounted Jupiter fed via proton pack is beyond my wildest imagination. Most excellent blaster. Bangarang!
I can't believe I was wrong about a you having a shoulder-mounted, pivoting absolver, that was controlled by the front trigger and aimed by the wearers head movement. This is equally cool, and much closer to duplicable by your followers.
I had no idea most of this stuff existed, but the more I think about it, the more fitting it is. My initial guess from the thumbnail tho was some kind of remote control for either shoulder cannons or an actual remotely planted blaster/s that you could strategically plant during games.
Captain you spoil us with more awesome overpowered and expertly executed modular loadouts. In fact I was a big fan of your escalating loadouts and with this theme in mind I think the ultimate absurd loadout would be the tactical jolt, with TYR as an attached secondary! Excellent work as always
Honestly, I was half expecting the answer to be, "They do nothing, and are just there to mess with you all." The truth is much cooler, and much more terrifying. Note: Do not have the captain on the opposing team.
Captain that is absolutely amazing what you put together and I can tell I am so so tempted to do the Exact same thing to my proton pack set up with one of my FDL3. Such a awsome idea...so cool.
I love the echo when you are firing the full length darts at the fort, it reminds me of a 40mm Bofors mount. This loadout is truly epic like the man who created it. Your whimsy inspires all of us.
ROFLMAO Cant wait to see to see how much bigger the backpack gets. (gleeful look) Do they make a 55 gallon drum sized pretzel barrel? Thank you for sharing
The only way this can be more more battle effective to me would be to have an under mounted shotgun like a rough cut. Perfect for taking out a couple of zombies when you're in the middle of a mag change and don't want to waste any of your proton pack. Rifle, shotgun, and flamethrower all in 1
@@CaptainXavier the only thing I can think of is having the Jupiter trigger grip act as the priming grip for a rough cut on slam fire. Though that would probably make the whole blaster a bit to unwieldy now that I think about it. Oops 😅
@@dragonblaster-vu8wz yeah...there would be no way to make that fit or be remotely functional. But assuming we magically could...if I have one hand holding the blaster...and my other hand changing a mag...which hand is pumping the roughcut? You know...so I don't waste any of the 400+ rounds in the Proton Pack? ;P
@@CaptainXavier what about an air cannon and absolver on the other side of the FDL , with the firing thingy wired back to a second trigger on the main grip?
I want to put some quick news: Nerf is restocking on Amazon, I have seen stuff like the modulus longstrike, Slingfire, Sledgefire, and the MA40 got restocked so the price want back to kinda normal.
As ever the unstoppable Captain Xavier. The only skill that I think that you're presently missing, that I believe that you will automatically attain at some point, is the training to swap mag as you are firing the proton pack. I very badly need to get my hands on one of those possibly in the format of a ghostbuster's proton pack.
Dear captain I love it I would love to see a full armory tour of all of your modded or even in unmodded because I think some of your hammer shots are in modded I am working on a spring thunder right now but I am stuck between a desert pigeon and a gryphon mp5 clone and wanted your personal opinion because I have a hammer shot but love not having to prime a blaster sometimes and I still need a good sidearm Sincerely Marty
Its a shame you can't get an FDL-3 any more, I had a whole color scheme planed out but it took too long to finally be able to afford it and Project FDL wound up shutting down (now I'm too low in budget to attempt again even if the FDL was still available), but at least the Jupiter is still an option and should get more interesting when it becomes more modular.
Wow, that is just bonker-balls Cap (no pun intended...see what happened there, balls, rounds?)! I never really payed much attention to your HVZ Heavy Infantry Primary, and never really wondered about that front grip TBH, as I didn’t see many videos on it, and I was busy with other things. This is just absurd though, you can pick zombies off with the FDL-3, which is already a beast, then lay down suppressive fire with a Jupiter fed by a Proton Pack?! Zombies have no chance of getting you, pair that with like a shotgun type thing on your back, and maybe one (or two...) PewPews on drop-leg holsters, with a Jolt somewhere (no load out is complete without the ever lasting Jolt! 🤣🤣), and you will be an absolute tank, at this point, this is plain overpowered! Very cool indeed! Edit:Oh never mind, I forgot that you already planned to have the PewPews as “sidearms”!
Oddly enough, it still has not earned a name from me. But I have only used it in two major games so it simply has not had the chance yet to prove itself.
@@CaptainXavier Maybe you should fix that in a HvZ vid. It’s summer AKA the nerf event season and would be awesome to see it would be cooler to see a build process for that rail mounted Jupiter
The gear monkey in me is SCREAMING! Not even a Nerf-er (they don't do that stuff here in Italy...), but I'd absolutely *love* to carry something like that at a post-apoc larp... Now, I'm patiently waiting for wrist/shoulder mounted stuff xD
Is there a link that you can provide us for that kit? Myself and several others have searched thingiverse and were unable to find it. I have even gone and looked thru the thingiverse archive and was still unable to find it.
Well@@CaptainXavier you did feature it as a fan build back in December 2020, and for a second build I think I did well enough.... Either way, I see this and might have to jank my own with the bits I have laying here!
Yeah, I figured something like that was the purpose, I have essentially the same combo myself (but I showed it off first ;P) My older and significantly cruder version: ruclips.net/video/GmurRKENP1k/видео.html
Hey cap, I have a question; wasn't there an HvZ gameplay video where you used this in-game? I remember watching it months ago but I can't seem to find it anymore.
Does the marksman kit use the same side plates? If it does and the 40 nose also uses the same I've got a file for rail built into that piece instead of attached to the side panel
@@CaptainXavier well if your interested I can share the file, they were actually designed by the same person who made the riflemen kit but were unreleased
She still sees some service. The one thing this build does not have is a rocket launcher. EIR still wins there. Also, the Jupiter can be mounted to EIR. EIR has plenty of rail.
Range. Either of these blasters can accurately hit anything much past 60 ft. So just about any half decent half dart sniper blaster can take me out fairly easily. This was not intended for Nerf Wars. It was intended for HvZ where the enemy has to get close enough to literally touch me.
I thought I recognized the foregrip shape!
Me too

This is awesome! I always thought it was to control a shoulder mounted blaster. What backpack are you currently using to house the proton pack?
No idea. I bought it on Amazon years ago.
I had no idea most of this stuff existed, but the more I think about it, the more fitting it is. My initial guess from the thumbnail tho was some kind of remote control for either shoulder cannons or an actual remotely planted blaster/s that you could strategically plant during games.
My Stampede "EIR" has that feature.
@@CaptainXavier Tony Stark wishes he thought of that!
Being able to attach it to the side of the blaster and fire it from a magazine lets you throw a few Megas in a Rival mag and have that mega option
Sir, that is evil, and I want 6 of them.

"Now we are aware!"

This is just sick. I’ve just discovered the Captain, but I foresee much time being spent viewing old vids. Party on, Cap.
There are a LOT of old videos...like 1000+. Enjoy!

It is shame about the FDL-3.
dear captain xavier, it is absolut insane! i love it!

Simply incredible!!!

Once you go Proton pack, you never really go back
Arguably.. you have SMG... with a rail-mounted FLAMETHROWER!
I love it!
I would argue it is more of a carbine than an SMG (what with not being full auto). But the flamethrower part is accurate. :D
@@CaptainXavier That's what I get for commenting before watching the entire video! 😁
Your blaster combo is awesome!
Wait, correct me if I heard wrong. Did you say that’s a fdl-3? When did those come out?
Before I sound like a idiot I found out what it is now. Sorry it feels like a year ago we talked about the god tier fdl-2 god I feel old
I have had this FDL-3 since before the plague and it had been around for at least a year or so before that so...3-5 years? Give or take.
@@CaptainXavier oh alright,I just found out about this gun
I need to work on something like that. That was cool

Is there a link that you can provide us for that kit? Myself and several others have searched thingiverse and were unable to find it. I have even gone and looked thru the thingiverse archive and was still unable to find it.
Then it was probably removed during the big thingiverse reshuffle.
his primary is it's own loadout. the jupiter is the primary part and fdl3 is the secondary. so the pew pew's are just emergency survival gear.
The Jupiter is like something out of doom
That's a great way to deal with a broken Jupiter 🙂. I would probably just Cried and cured the name of the shipping company 😢.
oh cool. he made a small version of my Cerberus!
Looks like I don't have to do that now!
huh...that this is pretty cool. But yeah, a little on the bulky side. Not that bulk is bad but for HvZ I wanted something a bit more svelte.
Well@@CaptainXavier you did feature it as a fan build back in December 2020, and for a second build I think I did well enough....
Either way, I see this and might have to jank my own with the bits I have laying here!
At last, The mystery is solved! I guess we shall talk about how I could do something similar, when we get to meet face to face.
FOAM FLINGING INTENSIFIES!!!
you sir, are a madman.
Glorious!
I was hoping for Mt. Olympus but understand it's the same, but that you recycled a broken Jupiter is just as good.
Pssst...you do see the Mt. Olympus in this video...
Atchison point I will just show up with a just and Stat next to him
Ridiculous yet beautiful
After all this time we finally have an answer and it was worth it
Yeah, I figured something like that was the purpose, I have essentially the same combo myself (but I showed it off first ;P)
My older and significantly cruder version: ruclips.net/video/GmurRKENP1k/видео.html

@@CaptainXavier well if your interested I can share the file, they were actually designed by the same person who made the riflemen kit but were unreleased
Tyr is your gatling blaster, and Eir is your stampede, correct? Always get the two mixed up.
Yes
If you got like 3 more Jupiter proton packs would you put on on the other side of the fdl3
I would not, no. That would be cumbersome and not really add anything.
GORGEOUS!!!
WOW! 👁👁 shoot that is so awesome so modular love it 💞
That's insane! I love it
Awesome!!
This is crazy and I love it
for when shite hits the fan love it
This is 🔥
What do you do with EIR nowadays? Has it become obsolete at all?
She still sees some service. The one thing this build does not have is a rocket launcher. EIR still wins there. Also, the Jupiter can be mounted to EIR. EIR has plenty of rail.
@@CaptainXavier that's good, I'm definitely a stampede-addict, so knowing it and AEGs in general are still being used to treat effect is wonderful
@@CaptainXavier She was your first major nerf creation, right?
Yes
@@CaptainXavier I'm sure there will always be ways for you to keep her viable. There's nothing you cannot build, after all!
How robust are your cameras, because you do shoot them a lot? do you have protective cases for them?
I believe I was shooting at my phone. It is pretty robust.
@@CaptainXavier Cool!
At last, I've being wondering for age's.
Have you look at the FDL Basic? I know that they are a lot like the Pew Pew. Just wondering.
I am familiar with it. It is about twice the size of the Pewpew and in my opinion not nearly as svelte. But like all FDLs they are very functional.
waited so long for this!!!
Captain xavier you gonna go to endwar this emyear hope to see you there
Sadly, no. I will be in Europe.
@@CaptainXavier ok to bad I hope we can meet one day I'm a huge fan
You, good sir, are a genius!!! 😁

How is anyone expected to beat this guy in a nerf war???
Range. Either of these blasters can accurately hit anything much past 60 ft. So just about any half decent half dart sniper blaster can take me out fairly easily. This was not intended for Nerf Wars. It was intended for HvZ where the enemy has to get close enough to literally touch me.
A nerf takedown with a K25 spring and piccatini Laser sight could do it :)
When I saw the sheer ridiculousness of this loadout I fell into a fit of giggles. I can't wait to see this in action at UMBC!
haha if I get accepted into UMD you know I'm comin
Why not use Orange and black wire for the external wiring?? Great rig.ThankQ.TkEZ>UK
What external wiring? The wires for the Jupiter are in a single section of heat shrink to contain and protect them
That thing is insane!! 😳😳😳😳
That is ridiculous! I'll take your entire stock!
That's insane!
That's great.
Is that rail on the side something you can 3D print, or is it a bit you just added? I ask because I wanna mount my Proud Papa to my FDL
Both? It is a bit I printed and added. It is not an official P-FDL part, if that is what you are asking. I printed some rail and attached it.
@@CaptainXavier Ah, I gotcha. Thanks! 👍
And the truth shall set you free… from all the comments every video asking what it was
