Just a sec. The Elite 2.0 Turbine is widely suspected to be a RapidStrike repaint. Myself included. It's not confirmed by anybody at this point.

I would also not go so far as to say it's a reskin. There's no indication that the shell is any different from any of the previously released RapidStrikes.

And maybe I'm splitting hairs here. But a "reskin" is technically a new, modified, or improved shell based on a previously released blaster. A "repaint" is simply a different color scheme or color variant of a previously released blaster.

For instance, a Fortnite AR-E could be called a reskin of the Stryfe. Hasbro took all the design elements and internals of the Stryfe, and made a new shell. (With some new colors)

Whereas the Elite XD RapidStrike is just a repaint of the original RapidStrike CS-18. All the parts are identical and interchangeable, only the colors have changed.

Sorry if I'm nitpicking. But if you're going to speculate, speculate correctly. Like real Nerfers 😉
