"If Nerf won't make it somebody else will… and way better" and if Nerf makes it, somebody else will improve it and sell it cheaper or for the same price.
Shoot, as a budget modder I could take one of those 8AA trays I have lying around, rewire the blaster to it, and achieve a better ROF and consistent FPS than D cells without alienating non-modders who'd want a "Nerf" blaster but not the responsibility of LiPo with it should they want a light mod. Best of all it'd probably be another $10 on top of the blaster due to buying wire, 8AAs, and switches. In total ~$60 for a Perses with 10 less rounds capacity!
Ganna be honest the advantage of the nerf equivalent is a rechargable battery and a higher capatcity. Your comment about the batteries sums it up. I just wish the better rival blasters wearnt so hard to find this days
Being at a Walcom video before it has 1K views seems like a different reality. Serious comment: Nerf is just under a grave, as foam flingers stand around the grave listing off what they wish Nerf would have done, Dart Zone and Adventure Force eavesdrop from the outside of the cemetery fences. They then deliver, picking up where Nerf left off.
I thought that music in the into sounded familiar. I watched phantasy star online’s animation and played the original and ngs games up until a month ago.
Some of the Adventure Force Blasters really do function a lot better. Of course they do have a cheaper feel, but when it comes to function not all that different or even better.
Yup, I definitely like DZ shells like this. Its simple and clean yet still looks good. The only real complaint other than D batteries is that the barrel is off set... with 2 faux barrels. It looks cool but functionally -bleh. I know already without even having it in hand that I'd default to trying to aim with the top 'barrel' rather than the real one two inchs down. How do I know? I love the Zuru Chaos Orbit, but when first picking it up I always try to fire from the top 'barrel' block thing. And this has two ._.
Highly highly recommend you pick up some Panasonic Eneloop batteries... they are rechargeable AA batteries that can change into D or C batteries with adapters. Cost a bit up front, but will save lots of money over time.
The problem with using those to review is that typically they have higher stats than normal batteries and most people want the intended specs during a review out of normal alkalines, so that's what I do.
From a reloader's perspective, my slight gripe with the way you're supposed to reload the blaster is that when you do ADS reloads, there's a chance where the balls can fall out. I much preferred the way the Nemesis is reloaded from the top. But the Monolith is still cool nonetheless
I love the Monolith, it's the best Rival blaster this year, but I'm gonna be honest. If you don't have a Rival blaster, this is the one to go, but it's still dwarfed by the Perses, and I won't blame people who would prefer that over this.
I bought one of these because i couldn't find a Perses or Nemesis, And after taking the time to 3s mod it, It has a faster rate of fire, but It still has trouble feeding reliably, but any hopper blaster suffers that issue. On a side note it is unbelievably easy to mod, i just soldered 16 guage wire over the old wires, motors, and switches along with the XT60 battery connector without needing to cut or Dremel anything and its lasted me since
Perses may be more expensive, and the monolith may have a larger loading door. But at least Rival fly wheelers, sans the Zeus, can/do take rechargeable battery packs rather than Ds; and iirc, the Zeus takes Cs. "This is only a $40 blaster!" Sure. But whats that total after D batteries and/or mods?
It's BuzzBee that has no balls. NERF even let BuzzBee, of all companies, actually OutDo them with MEGA Springers, so DartZone's BALListicOps being on top isn't too surprising.
Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to add an ammo box extension off the side of the blaster to double or triple ammo capacity. Rewire for a lipo and you would be poppin balls off like a champ
My favorite rival blasters is actually a dart zone pistol, it has an 8 round internal mag, and their little safetys are easy to remove. I think it was like $15 if that plus dart zone has better ammo in rival, their rounds are higher crush (so less dense and therfore safer to shoot at younger kids) and they fly better.
Get NI MH baterries and plastic adaptors thank me later. I did that with my rapidstrike. It was eating C baterries like in 3 days vs my AA rechargeables with the plastic spacers to convert them into C size baterries. They never ran out of power. When i started to not like the sound of the revs it was making i just recharged them
I personally dislike this one, it removes the option to swap hoppers, yes news flash nemesis, percys, and Prometheus hoppers can all be removed and replaced simular to magazines
Yeah the only one I owned was Outbreak and I wish I still had it. I knew a lot about the games because I was a big dot hack fan, but that was super weird jumping into the game at that point.
I'm surprised we never saw a HD remaster collection of the original games. When I worked at GameStop I remember seeing the fourth game go for up to 90 bucks used and never kept it in stock for long.
Hey walcom nerf rival will try to compete with lower prices maybe if they don’t they might be dead. Those blasters are better and cheaper so nerf rival better pick up their game
I mean, we all love Dart Zone, but that rate of fire is so anemic that if Nerf had produced this blaster we'd be talking about throwing it in the trash bin. The Nemesis spews lanes of foam like nobodies business on 6 D-cell batteries so there's no reason the Dart Zone Monolith shouldn't be capable of doing the same.
I got a monolith wired with 14ga wire 15amp switches, a lil hotter 130 motor in the agitator and a 1500mah 100C lipo. U can control rate of fire by changing the 130 motor. This gets 20 to 30 faster fps than the nerf blasters do. I'm building a Quantum now and they r basically identical except for the mounting location of the 130. Great guns! I got lest than what a Perses would cost me unmodded in both blasters and the quantum has a 2250mah 50C 3s lipo
The people over on nerf wiki will not shut up about hating you and I don't get it complaints and hate about You fill up completely unrelated boards and it gets really annoying
This looks as good as or better than the Perses, and for a far better price point. It might just be the one I have, but I despise the Perses. Its rate of fire might be great....if it could feed consistently and mine can't. To my mind Rival flywheels peaked with the Prometheus. If you're hosing a field with balls it's not like you need to shoulder the thing anyway, Rival accuracy's nothing to write home about.
The price alone makes it better than the Perses. Why spend $100 on a blaster when you can spend $35? Better yet, this one is still sold in stores when I can’t find the perses anywhere!

Check the monolith the spectrum and the villinator all the dart zone adventure force blasters have the same trigger
Do you think dart zone will come out with a pro blaster using lipo?
@Anna beutiful
Did you see that this blaster is compatible with Nerf Hyper rounds too?
Great👍
"If Nerf won't make it somebody else will… and way better" and if Nerf makes it, somebody else will improve it and sell it cheaper or for the same price.
@Anna no
So true
To quote Walcom “nobody uses D batteries but your mom” this sounds like something a kid on Xbox live would say.
Walcom was that kid on xbox live back in the day :,D
Radio Raheem uses D batteries.
That's a lot of balls. My next refill will probably be the Dart Zone BallistixOps rounds.
BALListic
Balls
I only got 2 balls wdym?
Shoot, as a budget modder I could take one of those 8AA trays I have lying around, rewire the blaster to it, and achieve a better ROF and consistent FPS than D cells without alienating non-modders who'd want a "Nerf" blaster but not the responsibility of LiPo with it should they want a light mod. Best of all it'd probably be another $10 on top of the blaster due to buying wire, 8AAs, and switches. In total ~$60 for a Perses with 10 less rounds capacity!
The markup on alkaline batteries is downright unethical, retailers know we need them and price then accordingly.
Ganna be honest the advantage of the nerf equivalent is a rechargable battery and a higher capatcity. Your comment about the batteries sums it up. I just wish the better rival blasters wearnt so hard to find this days

I love and respect thoughtful analogies. Great one bro
The real “Nerf Rival” was the better companies we found along the way.
Hah
No, no, he has a point
No, I want my facken Perses
But again, dart zone has some of the hardest shooting blasters on the market
You could say that they were the nerf *rivals* eyyy
Getting sick of the companies making things more difficult for left-handed people though :(
Same
I got this for Christmas this past year despite some negative reviews, those flaws said aren't really a problem for me
DartZone is killing it as usual. Love the look of this blaster.
I thought that music in the into sounded familiar. I watched phantasy star online’s animation and played the original and ngs games up until a month ago.
Some of the Adventure Force Blasters really do function a lot better. Of course they do have a cheaper feel, but when it comes to function not all that different or even better.
Bro the underlying disgust with the battery cost into being like pleas god like this… planned or not it was gold
I love how when I fire rounds out of the nemesis i can see them but I can't even see the rounds coming through the barrel of the monolith
Yup, I definitely like DZ shells like this. Its simple and clean yet still looks good. The only real complaint other than D batteries is that the barrel is off set... with 2 faux barrels. It looks cool but functionally -bleh. I know already without even having it in hand that I'd default to trying to aim with the top 'barrel' rather than the real one two inchs down. How do I know?

@@WalcomS7 thank you for taking the wallet hit Walcolm. We appreciate it!
I'd love to be proven wrong but it seems like off the shelf rival hit peak design with the Perses
that mom joke got me, lol XD, btw, the box says what type of batteries you need, so look at it in the store so you dont have to make 2 trips
Feed it full of hyper and do some tests
if I saw walcom in a parking lot with a nerf gun I would think he was a chiId predator
From a reloader's perspective, my slight gripe with the way you're supposed to reload the blaster is that when you do ADS reloads, there's a chance where the balls can fall out. I much preferred the way the Nemesis is reloaded from the top.
But the Monolith is still cool nonetheless
Dart zone or nerf should make a Rival stryfe
Nerf Hera, but yes DZ should make one.
But the Vilcan uses D batteries.
Thats a really nice shell... I can see that getting painted up real nice.
Yep
true
That trigger is adorable.
That foam fps is fun in Roblox. I hope the add the adventure force blasters on it.
Yeah imagine Nexus Pro in Nerf Strike
I love the Monolith, it's the best Rival blaster this year, but I'm gonna be honest. If you don't have a Rival blaster, this is the one to go, but it's still dwarfed by the Perses, and I won't blame people who would prefer that over this.
I would say get both. But is the Perses still on the market in 2021?
The trigger has a little smiley face on it.
Loving the Phantasy Star Online music.
I have seen this a few times at Walmart and now I think I want to pick one up
All rival blasters must compete with perses + custom hopper
yes
I bought one of these because i couldn't find a Perses or Nemesis, And after taking the time to 3s mod it, It has a faster rate of fire, but It still has trouble feeding reliably, but any hopper blaster suffers that issue.
On a side note it is unbelievably easy to mod, i just soldered 16 guage wire over the old wires, motors, and switches along with the XT60 battery connector without needing to cut or Dremel anything and its lasted me since
Sup guys
He got on the modern rogue as the Nerf modder. Plus, it shocked me when they introduced him.
Perses may be more expensive, and the monolith may have a larger loading door. But at least Rival fly wheelers, sans the Zeus, can/do take rechargeable battery packs rather than Ds; and iirc, the Zeus takes Cs.
"This is only a $40 blaster!" Sure. But whats that total after D batteries and/or mods?

here's my like for them batteries :feelsbatteriesman:
Very nice looking blaster for the price.
Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to add an ammo box extension off the side of the blaster to double or triple ammo capacity. Rewire for a lipo and you would be poppin balls off like a champ
I still prefer my Perses but damn this is a great alternative

Definitely a budget perses and I’m very curious to see how a modded one would perform.
The only way that this could've been better stock would be if they put a reloading door on both sides of this thing
Its only a matter of time until we get a blaster based off the BFG...
Dude.. your mom has to use D batteries...😂 best unintentional insult ever!
YO I JUST SAW YOU ON MODERN ROGUE TWO OF MY FAVORITE CHANNELS CAME TOGETHER! I'm proud of you homie, loved the video you made with them!
Ath the start you can’t see the balls at all, that’s insanely fast
Dude I love your dotHack shirt
Since i am a terrible human, *MARBLES*
I personally dislike this one, it removes the option to swap hoppers, yes news flash nemesis, percys, and Prometheus hoppers can all be removed and replaced simular to magazines
Possibly the first Dart Zone "meh quality" in history, I think now begains the slow downfall of Dart Zone and the next rise of Nerf
So I don’t know if walcom will do another 2shot 2sday but if he does, it should be on the lawbringer. Also, love the content! It’s super entertaining
It'll come back in some form, I assure you.
I bought 150 of those Adventure Force balls, and use them in my Reaper guns.
I might just get this at some point.
Dart zone: if i dont….WHO WILL!?
Props on the dock hack shirt. I never finished the last two games and now they go for a fortune....
Yeah the only one I owned was Outbreak and I wish I still had it. I knew a lot about the games because I was a big dot hack fan, but that was super weird jumping into the game at that point.
I'm surprised we never saw a HD remaster collection of the original games. When I worked at GameStop I remember seeing the fourth game go for up to 90 bucks used and never kept it in stock for long.
Games are weird. I just found out our copy of Blue Reflection is worth a lot used right now...
It does reminds me of Federation Phaser Rifle.
If I bought 90% of the new blasters, I think I would just get rechargables batteries to nit get bored with price.
No?
Nope. My mom uses car batteries 😂
Her "massagers" wont take anything smaller lmao.
This makes me wonder if you can modify a paintball gun to shoot rival 🤔
nice shirt
You got a sub from me man, this hobby's amazing and needs as much publicity as it can get!
I will cry because of the loss of rival
Last time I was this early to a video, hasbro was relevant, and walcom did commissions by email.
Hey walcom nerf rival will try to compete with lower prices maybe if they don’t they might be dead. Those blasters are better and cheaper so nerf rival better pick up their game
I mean, we all love Dart Zone, but that rate of fire is so anemic that if Nerf had produced this blaster we'd be talking about throwing it in the trash bin. The Nemesis spews lanes of foam like nobodies business on 6 D-cell batteries so there's no reason the Dart Zone Monolith shouldn't be capable of doing the same.
i dont like the idea of having to flip the blaster for just reloading
I got a monolith wired with 14ga wire 15amp switches, a lil hotter 130 motor in the agitator and a 1500mah 100C lipo. U can control rate of fire by changing the 130 motor. This gets 20 to 30 faster fps than the nerf blasters do. I'm building a Quantum now and they r basically identical except for the mounting location of the 130. Great guns! I got lest than what a Perses would cost me unmodded in both blasters and the quantum has a 2250mah 50C 3s lipo
The only reason I would tolerate d batteries is if I can find some rechargeable ones... Mostly cause I don't know how to wire lipos
Now this, this is cool
Just noticed the in package Mustang 6 in the bottom right thats pretty cool
One of my prized possessions.
@@WalcomS7 I'd imagine not like you find those things every day let alone in the package
I should get one to paint
yes rival is dead. Walcoms again with another great vid
The people over on nerf wiki will not shut up about hating you and I don't get it complaints and hate about You fill up completely unrelated boards and it gets really annoying
:(
These guns are $20 and some Walmarts have them for $15
What if there was a air powerd rival blaster with a hopper.
This looks as good as or better than the Perses, and for a far better price point.
It might just be the one I have, but I despise the Perses. Its rate of fire might be great....if it could feed consistently and mine can't. To my mind Rival flywheels peaked with the Prometheus. If you're hosing a field with balls it's not like you need to shoulder the thing anyway, Rival accuracy's nothing to write home about.
I just got mine yesterday
I’m going to be honest I don’t really like that grip.
I see 23 seconds ago I had to say something
Great video, hate d batteries as well
The price alone makes it better than the Perses. Why spend $100 on a blaster when you can spend $35? Better yet, this one is still sold in stores when I can’t find the perses anywhere!
Perses has been on Walmart online for 50 bucks for a few months and that's a steal.
Why buy a nexus pro for 50$ when you can buy a warden for 20$?
I really thought from the name it would have a cosmetic suppresor bcz of the "monolith"
In cod there's an attachment named "monolithic suppresor" 😂😂
Great video, I would love to see another video once you mod it or a mod video would be awesome too, thanks for all you do and keep up the great work
I had this but the door for the BALLS broke 😢
Even though its nerf, i really love rival to death.
Lol I hope you don’t hit a car while range testing a high performance blaster
Did ya move into a place? Congrats if so, great review as usual!
Sadly not even my mom uses D-cell batteries.
The fire rate tho
It's kinda fugly but hard to argue with that price point.
Commenting just for the D batteries lol also love the video and the blaster! Love the content as usual
OK but why does he sound so much like Xp to Level 3?
Lipo it!
I cant even find D-cell batteries
I like this video.
