Nerf Is Bringing 'Fortnite' Into the Real World
As fun as Fortnite is to play on your PC or phone-especially as its main Battle Royale mode is being swarmed with "cube monsters" (don't call them zombies) for the game's big Halloween-themed event-nothing quite compares to blasting your buddies directly in the face with some foam here in the real world. Nerf's new collaboration with Epic Games will let you do just that.
The first weapon in the new line is the AR-L blaster, which has a flywheel firing system, a 10-dart clip, and a flip-up sight. It's not on sale yet, but will hit store shelves in June of 2019 for $50.
If you can't wait until June, there are already a whole host of blasters that are just as competent and often come with more features or at a lower price. The Modulus EC-10 (which has the same guts the AR-L will likely use) offers the same 10-round clip and automatic fire, plus attachment points for all of Modulus's accessories. And it's available for $50 right now. The Modulus Regulator has two 12-round clips and a flywheel firing mechanism, and it is only $40. The $30 transparent Evader Modulus has a 12-round clip.
The real question now is whether or not Nerf will make the Rocket Launcher, and what kind of foam that will fire.
