Nerf has partnered up with 343 Industries to create a high-end reproduction of the Needler from Halo.
The result’s the aptly named Nerf LMTD Halo Needler. “This Nerf dart blaster recreates the blaster’s distinctive design with versatile needles that mild up whenever you grip the deal with!” Nerf says on its product web page. “Hearth the darts and watch the needles go darkish to simulate how they launch from the blaster within the recreation. Different light-up accents add to the thrilling visible presentation.”
The Nerf LMTD Halo Needler will ship with 10 official Nerf Elite foam darts—all of which could be loaded into the revolving drum directly—and a show stand. The reproduction can be set to a show mode “so you’ll be able to activate all of the light-up options and place the blaster on the included stand to create an eye-popping show,” Nerf says, so long as you have got the mandatory batteries.
Nerf says the reproduction can even include “a card with a code to unlock in-game content material within the Halo Infinite recreation” however does not specify what precisely that content material can be. (If we needed to guess, we might say that Nerf-themed skins can be an apparent risk, particularly since they would not must be restricted to the Needler.) We should always discover out extra when the product begins to ship.
This is not Nerf’s first Needler reproduction. The corporate additionally made the Nerf MicroShots Halo Needler Blaster, which prices simply $11, however the distinction in high quality between the merchandise is clear. The Nerf MicroShots reproduction is a hand-loaded blaster that does not function any lights and solely loosely resembles the in-game weapon. The Nerf LMTD model is considerably extra extravagant.
It additionally has the worth to match: the Nerf LMTD Halo Needler prices $100. Nerf is accepting pre-orders till Dec. 31, however the firm says clients will not be charged till the product is able to ship, which it does not count on to be till someday round November 2022. That is a bit late for a Halo Infinite tie-in, given the sport’s Dec. 8 launch date, however so it goes.
