This was a ton of fun iterating and prototyping to make some really cool accessories and see how they'd fit into the Nexus pro blaster system. I think the blaster is really slick and wanted to make it just that much cooler.

And hey! If you want all three, I have a bundle on the site that saves you a little scratch. You can get it here: bit.ly/3khOJJU
Awesome im about to go pick it up from Walmart and order this awesome sweet kit
@@diggyperfecto1667 hi drac
I want one I live inunmarika
Just bought mine! Super excited!
Do you know where I might be able to find a spring that will lower the fps because I have doubts that my friends will want to fight against me with the fps the standard spring has
"don't forget to void your warranties''...I think there's a life lesson there...👍👍
What warrenty? I didn't even buy one unless it comes with it.
Get in the Dart Zone. Nerf is nothing.
you either settle for literally nothing, as you do not want to carry around trash, or you get Nerf, Get in the Dart Zone
New slogan for the hobby?? Probably. Excellent comment, yo.
THE PROBLEM: international unavalibility
@@ZeBanded FINALLY
Yes, and no
It's *so* nice to see a bunch of foam flingers universally raving over a new blaster. Feels like it's been a while. I'm trying to source one from my US buddies to send to me in the UK. We are *so* behind the curve here on official releases of stuff. Not surprised this has come from a nerf competitor. Nerf stopped competing when they got the licencing deals.
Could be due to gun laws? Idk how it works there but apparently in Australia nerf guns have to be registered as firearms if you use gelballs as ammo.
@@notsafef0rlife It is in fact the gun laws. Anything using compressed gas, i.e. air compressed by a spring, that has a muzzle energy of 1 joule or more is legally an air weapon and may not be sold in toy shops or carried or used in a public place. Penalties for getting caught are quite draconical.
A new-school mod guide, courtesy of Dart Zone embracing the modding community. Thanks Drac!
(unlike Hasbro with their Elite 2.0 blasters, which scoff in the face of the modding community)
"If you know how to paint then you should be able to do something other than black and orange".............. *Captain Xavier would like to know your location*
Chill, he knows. Also, he sees enough good paintjobs to know that theres no disrespect here.
@@LordDraconical Only banter. Nothing but love for both you and Cap X. You're a huge influence over here on the UK nerf community and personally love your passion and your content to excess. Keep up the awesome work. :)
Damn, you beat me to it
R/YouWooooshedTheDrac lol
Never thought he’d be a victim of r/whoosh
I love this thing and the fact that it’s arguably better than the dart zone pro blows my mind
DZP still feels sturdier, but this is wayyy better designed. DZP is just made better
The DZP is deff heavier and sturdier, but for $50 it puts my mk 1.0 and mk 1.1 to shame.
Michael Carson I agree. You just can’t beat the price. Even so, since I have both, I prefer to take out the dzp simply because it feels better
"You have no excuse to not have an orange tip on it"
* put on a non orange tip *
=P
🤣
I kinda like the orange tip it allows you to muzzle load mega or rival ammo. so if your in a war and someone shoots a mega or rival round at you, you just pick it up and fire it back then load your nomal mag and continue with darts :P_
@@sheilaolfieway1885 that works.
I love getting to hear so much positivity. After how dreadful Ultra and Elite 2.0 have been (seen some bad quality with the Warden in particular), getting a blaster that just has everyone so excited and happy is wonderful to see. And so many awesome little details with it! Spare o-rings in the stock is so great, and that spring replacement is BRILLIANT. There's also apparently a button on the top rail that unlocks the slide while it's primed if you want to avoid dry firing? This blaster is just so impressive and I love every video I'm seeing about it.
I think that the button on top is for shotgun firing
@ I think it's technically just for unjamming or avoiding dry firing, but yeah it can be used for shotgun loading!
The button doesn't help with dry firing. It does unlock the slide, but you can't pull the trigger until the slide isn't all the way forward again. There may be an internal lock that could be removed to allow this, I haven't opened mine.
But yes, otherwise you nailed it. I bought a few of the Ultra blasters just to try them, and they add nothing to the hobby except a more expensive dart type. Their ergonomics are appalling, most I've had to cut or shave off plastic on the triggers or guard just to make them not be painful to shoot.I only bought one Elite 2.0 blaster, the Triad. The others are just worse re-skins than the original series, and as you say, the Warden should be off the shelves, too many reviewers have had broken ones.
I have enjoyed some of the 2020 Rival Series, but I already had plenty of Rival blasters so none of them were upgrades, just different bodies.
Nerf did manage to produce more accurate darts with the Accustrike and Mega Accustrike darts, but you don't see them on the shelves anymore, and they were too expensive. They shoudl be the defaulot dart to come with ALL nerf dart blasters now.
Dart Zone and Adventure Force, or really Prime Time Toys, have knocked it out of the ballpark this year with this Nexus, the Aeon, and the upcoming Dart Zone Pro 2.0 for the serious hobbyist.
At this point Nerf are just milking kids and their parents.
@@ziploc2000 ah, I meant 'avoid dry firing' in that, if it's primed but empty, you can pull the bolt back and load a new magazine without having to dry fire before pulling back the priming handle. But yeah, nerf is a mess now, Rival is the only stuff I'd really consider buying from them
@@Bukkarooo I'd like that button to have been a bit bigger and more accessible but it works, I just have to use a pencil or something to push it.
Overall the Nexus Pro is an astonishing piece of kit for $50, and clearly intended to allow modification by the user. The Aeon is also great.
I'm looking forward to the Dart Zone Pro 2.0, hopefully I can get one next month and that'll become my go-to sidearm with the Nexus as my main.
you can front load mega darts and rival rounds in the stock muzzle break and fire them from the barrel range is pretty good with them that way too
And pop it out and front load ultra
If i pump mine three times it’ll fire three rounds like a shotgun
Drac you're a legend keep doing you man
It's so cool that they made the pump grip mount a picatinny rail. I cannot get over how well designed this is for the price.
its a blaster that the company actually decided that the blaster should be good. they are basically making the george foreman of blasters
In case you haven't found out yet the main grip also unscrews like the foregrip. You'd have to custom print something to fit but it would let you customize the nexus pro even further.
Honestly the stock grip is pretty great, not sure why you'd want to do it but it's incredible that you're able to.
It feels slippery, thinking about putting some skateboard tape on it.
Then: It's NERF or Nothing!
Now: NERF is Nothing!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amen
Amen
Pretty much.
Bro I recently got back into foam flinging and was so surprised to see that nerf is literally doo doo now
Been watching you for years, and beacause of you, went and bought a Nexus Pro. Absolutely amazed by the stock performance and having stuff shipped now to beef it up. Keep up the good work my dude!!!
Mine's still More powerful
Drac: Come on Hasbro paint both sides
Also Drac: *paints only one side of the trigger*
In all seriousness though, you can shotgun load by pretending to slam fire. When you hold down the trigger, it won't prime or fire, but it does chamber a dart.
Atleast its to the left, the side where hasbro doesnt care
This blaster started hitting shelves like 4 days ago, and there is already an aftermarket for it. That blows me away
So, if it’s no longer going to be “nerfing” will it now be called “dart sporting”?
*flinging foam
Kaleb Green I kinda like that term “Let’s go flinging foam”
Dude the camera work is beautifull the print quality is flawless looking fowar to picking this up!!!!
I like that grip the foregrip that it comes with is kinda big and in my opinion unsightly i want mine to look like a real gun just with a bunch of orange. maybe mix in some cobalt color i dunno.
Yo that caduceus grip looked like it was made with love and help send darts down range like Hermes sends messages. Hope everyone is safe, much love back to you Drac
I TOTALLY noticed the o-rings, just bought mine today.
2 years later and I finally picked one of these up and all I gotta say is thank you I never knew There was pick a tinny under the forgrip and I never noticed the O-rings on the stock this is truly modularity at its best
I didn't notice the two O-rings in the stock till I watched this. The amount of user/community friendly features on this thing is crazy. Its like a long time nerfer/modder made their perfect blaster.
Lard Derc’s engineer brain is just having a field day with this blaster
Hey Drac if you didn’t know this already the nexus pro shoots rival rounds and mega rounds and it can shoot up to 5 half length darts at the same time.
Just got into modding ummm.... err... nerf type blasters... this NEEDS to come to the UK bro!!! Loving the channel Drac
Ummm err
Just type a cohesive sentence. You aren't even talking.
We should just call them "dart blasters" unless we're talking about ones made by Nerf specifically, to reduce the brand power of Nerf.
Joesond_YT never heard of writing how you talk? Try thinkin for a second why don’t ya
@@joeythreeclubs the only thing that isn't cohesive, is your understanding, who do you think you are, trying to blast someone for what they type or write? Grow up fella
5P1D3RDAVE I was... defending you? Alright 🗿
This blaster is incredible. Picked one up after the review video and love it.
Mine just arrived - so much fun!! Don't hesitate if your eyeing one of these!! Best spent $50 ever!! Power and accuracy!! definitely best ever for mass produced and out the box REALLY FUN!! WILL be buying the MK2 the minute it comes out!! Hey Hasbro wake up and smell the coffee!!
Hey can you please recommend me any good customization options thanks
have you noticed that the provided muzzle break can also hold and fire both Mega AND Rival rounds?
plus the grip comes off as its own piece so you could 3d print a new one
This blaster is a total game changer. The fact you can change springs during a game, to either accommodate sniping or CQB rapid fire. and it takes all types of accessories right out of the box is insane. the price being $50 is also out of this world. There is simply nothing better out right now period. I expect to see this blaster at a lot more games now.
It would be insanely awesome for Dart Zone to make a grip-loading Talon sidearm. If they've got something as hardcore as this, maybe they'll make their own Desert Pigeon? Or perhaps even something spring powered... Either way, it'd be insanely cool.
I was thinking similar. I think that a dart zone spamf type blaster would be a good sidearm of choice for the nexus pro and dart zone pro. It looks similar to the two primary's
8:49 😂😂😂 This is the new face of Covergirl
Best part of the video
I have been out of the nerf game for a couple of years now. I graduated college and got married and had do start doing grown up things sadly. But coming back and looking at blasters like this, even though there has been a ton of horrible blasters produced this year, And it seeing the level of attention that is put specifically towards the community… it's just my am blowing and pretty phenomenal and peered makes me miss the hobby.
theres so much more to this blaster than i initially thought, i think im in love
"Don't forget to void your warranties" XD , I love it
For less than $8 I modified my Nexus Pro to shoot 200 FPS. The highest I clocked it at was 208 FPS. For another $7 I gave it more accuracy with a Workers Scar Barrel. So I greatly improved my Nexus Pro for less than $15. So I bought it off the shelf for $50 and overall for $65 with modifications I found myself with a foam dart gun that has the same performance as a competitor
Foam dart gun that costs upwards to $200. I believe I got a really great deal with my Nexus.
Okay i know I'm very late, but i just got my nexus pro and had a fun idea i wanted to bounce off you drac. A relatively beefy horozontal pump grip, with a master key built in that fires a ahotgun of mega or rival rounds. Then, for those special game types, the nexus pro really will do everything!
You can shoot mega darts and rival out of it.
The grip can be changed.
There is a de priming button on the top rail.
Dont forget that The original mussle break can make you shoot mega and rival amo too!
AKblastermods has a 9kg, 12kg, and 16kg springs for the Ceda and they work in my Nexus Pro and both DZP. Where I play has a 130fps limit , so what I did is put on a rifled scar and used a 9kg spring that I trimming until I got it to 130 fps. Since the Ceda springs are longer than the DZ springs it gives you room to dial in your velocity. Another awesome video, I'll be ordering the kit from next level nerf tonight, thanks for everything you do for the hobby.
Drac I saw another reviewer that pointed out another useful feature. The muzzle break will fit megas and rival rounds. so it can shoot everything but ultra and noone uses those anyways. very useful for war functionality
Also can't shoot vortex discs
@@refrigeratorNO lol
The orange tip also serves as an impromptu barrel. Idk how relevant this is, but you can take Nerf rival balls AND Nerf mega darts and muzzle load them into the included barrel attachment and it shoots them better than some rival/mega guns.
Bummer, no puppies. Thanks for the update and accessories, this is one of the major reasons why you are so well respected in the community.
Just grabbed a nexus pro today, and I am already loving it no mods yet! Can't wait to break it open and do some funky stuff!
What did you add to it?
You can chamber up to 5 half length darts if you're careful and make a blast shot.
With the muzzle it comes with you can front load Mega and Rival, pop it out and front load Ultra.
I understand why you'd say that it can load mega and rival round but don't you dare mention ultra. Who'd wanna fire ultra rounds out of the super amazing nexus pro
@@goldie0513 anyone who wants to fire Ultras... Depending on the scenarios you play they can come in handy.
Walcom found out if you use the OG muzzle you can use Mega darts and Rival rounds.
I seriously hope I can grab on of these eventually in Canada 🤞
Your not alone >_
I'm in Ireland I don't think I can get one
Zeus Thor uhhmmm sadly unless you make it worse than nerf elite you can not have it in Australia:(
@Nate Macrae hope so! I've seen the Aeon on shelf here in Ontario, but never the nexus :(
@@turntridgeplays5485 just bought mine
i wonder how many darts are on the other side of that fence in the backyard.. 🤣
btw you can put the gfp adapter into the nexus at leats mine and it works with the gfp mags
Not sure if you're aware or not but this thing can and will shoot Mega AND Rival rounds. Actually shoots the Rival rounds at Elite ranges... Might be worth tinkering with modular muzzle brakes to launch the demolisher rockets.
The spring you want to put in this has an insane draw pull. It takes pretty much all the strength I have to prime with it.
Just figured the AF Alpha Rogue Scope is the best optic for this too - takes a tad of adjusting the two iron sights, but whoa! Lasered in!
The whole firing mechnism is air tight, so with the muzzle brake you can put a rival round or mega dart and launch them
and the metal barrel with the o-rings
"Wait... It's all Picatinny?"
"Always has been."
You can file down the corners of the DZP mags at a 45 degree angle to make them work. Pretty easy, Not alot of filing
If you put a mega round rounds in the muzzle it firers.( put 2 rival rounds into the muzzle and it’s a shotgun)
you can also shove nerf MEGA and rival rounds into the included muzzle and they fire pretty well.
damn. they are getting into airsoft territory with the customization possibilities of this one especially with the quick change spring
Also that one to 3 thing u did at like 750 was so clean
As of June 22nd 2021, Drac has 762k subscribers. Good job Drac.
The next pro blaster short dart converter should be flared so it has a funnel so it is easier to reload.
Got my kit in today. Thanks for the quick printing and shipping! I'm stupid excited to install it!
Do you recommend getting the 3 pack?
only thing i think you missed is that the trigger grip is fully detachable so you can put a custom grip on it too
Gotta get mine, paint it all white, call it Jynx MK 1.
Problem with that is that the Jynx mk 1. Will be the super amazing nexus pro but the elite 2.0 Echo is a pile of crap.
you can make a demolisher missle barrel insert with 1/2 cpvc and a little bit of e tape
For a more useful optic solution, it takes an AF Alpha Rogue scope very well too!
When the DZP and 1.1 came out I thought, "yeah, cool, but I cant justify $200" Now (If Wallmart wasn't the wrong side of the Atlantic) for $50, its a choice of the Fortnite Sniper or A Nexus Pro.
I think I know where I'd put my Money...
I made a custom barrel that could fit nerf missiles onto it. Got pretty decent performance.
That spring mechanism is just amazing. as is the grip's rail. fantastic blaster. Why'd walmart have to choose the worst summer ever to completely win? I will say it hates elite suction darts, which are my chosen style, as part of me doesn't think it's a dart gun if they don't have suction cups. It's probably a 'back in my day' thing, but I also shoot at targets in poster frames and suction is handy
the suction cups are probably too big and rub the barrel I jammed mine with a modern equivlent of the vulcan dart with the big round head had to pull it out with pliers as i didn't have a long or small enough stick to stick down the barrel.
Just got a Ceda spring in, god, the thing is so hard to pull back, but it slings darts! Need to find me a rubberized end stock, but beyond that, super excited about the performance.
I took it out because I felt I was going to break it.
@@weareall1524 Yeah, I am gonna try the grip that Drac has and see if it is any better, but otherwise, Idk.
I'm very much looking forward to the thumbhole stocks people will inevitably make for this thing. That grip comes off very easily 😉
I like how you mod the Nexus pro and change it's vertical pump grip to a horizontal one, then get the dart zone Stryker and mod it and change it from a horizontal pump grip to a vertical pump grip 😅😆
Probably way late to the party here but the DZP has spare o rings behind the rubber end of the stock. This may already be known but I just found out this week..... just randomly pulled off the end and there they were lol.
Anyways it's always good to see you super stoked about blasters after it seemed like Hasbro might have broken you a little bit.
FYI the rifle grip is also like the pump. So even more customization
Mmmmhh i wonder if they will ever sell those in Europe...
I would be so glad if one day we could get something better than our old nerfs...
Boy here in Italy we don't even have nemesis yet...
That's a shame
@SHYAM IYER not anymore... Here the nemesis costs 400€ / 450$ (item+shipping)
Yeah, it sucks that very little new stuff makes it in, even in the UK we've gotten less than half of the 2019 / 2020 blasters, and we have less stock and less shelf life compared to the US.
@@stevenbobbybills here the only place where you can find nerf guns is in toy stores...
*S H A M E*
Yo, this is the most fan service filled blaster I have EVER seen
Don't tell little kids to use this thing, even stock, inside. They'll give their friends welts.
I don’t think anyone is doing tha
@@maxwootan9416 Drac did
I bought this just today im already in love
Drac: No excuse to not have an orange tip
Also Drac: puts on a black muzzle
Btw, any idea on the springload of the turf spring? And do you know anything about the load of the stock ceda spring?
Haven't seen any yet, but this kit is intriguing.
Was able to secure two rifles and 400 short darts from the local Walmart. Ones for the kid one for me. I do like how easy it is to change the spring
Only thing I noticed is a lot of jams and the short darts fold over a lot in the rifle
I am going to get one today after work. Taking it to my dnd group and mayyyybe get some hype going.
10:42: Paint On BOTH sides? Mind, Blown....
My Spring upgrade came in today. Boi that’s a beefy prime.
What spring did you get? Was it worth it
Sucks that my fellow Canadians and I need to wait until October but at least we're getting it, unlike the DZP.
love that muzzle, thanks! picked one up!
Traveled 2 hours today to obtain one. It was actually worth it 😎
Easy, breezy, beautiful
Blasters like this are perfect for players like me who aren't comfortable trying to build and maintain a caliburn.
I want to support Captain Slug, but...kinda hard to say "No" to the Nexus that's half the price of the Caliburn and injection molded.....
$10 17/32 brass barrel
$4 out of darts spacer
stock spring
= 200 fps
Nexus pro has changed the game
dart zone: do not modify darts or dart blaster
also dart zone:lets make it super easy
Drac, just placed my order for nexus accessory pack! Can't wait to see it!
Don't forget to void that warranty MotherFathers
What I find truly hysterical is that nerf created the ultra line to drum up revenue via ammo sales and yet somehow dart zone had managed to corner the market in readily available foam ammo (waffle heads, shorts and rival).
“Don’t forget time void your warranties” haha love it man 😂😂 I’m absolutely in love with this thing already and I don’t even have one yet. I’ve been so reluctant to buying anymore nerf products and on the fence, but now, frankly I don’t want to touch another nerf product at all knowing this thing exists. Thanks for the video as always Drac, I love your touches on the blaster, simple yet completely changes it up in a way. I happen to have a spare Airsoft M4 stock lying around so I bet I can get it to fit on the buffer tube of this blaster without modification.
On another note: now that this exists, I wonder if they’ll do a flywheel take on this. If they did with half lengths, I can’t even imagine what else it’d do for this hobby. And well... I know it wouldn’t be too terribly practical but I would love to see some curved half length magazines. That’d for sure open up opportunities for MP5 or scorpion Evo style builds. I personally would want to make a 10mm SMG from fallout into a flywheel automatic blaster (in fallout 1 and 2 I think it was called the MP9, supposed to be based on the MP5). I think that would be dope as hell! And even beyond that, SMG builds would be far more tacticool in my opinion with curved half length magazines. Idk if half length drums exist either but that would be interesting to see if they could be a crazy high capacity.
You know what? I actually agree with him on the "ambidextrous mag" thing. Most of the time you're gonna be in an intense situation so you fumble around with the mag, possibly inserting it in the wrong way, and causing a jam.
i like how the stock costs more than the gun
Drac have your internals for the Nexus Pro cant wait to get it painted and together.
You should try to design a flush with the top picatini riser that matches the design of the lower rails.
