Needler (Nerf LMTD)

The Needler is a Nerf blaster that will be released on November 1, 2022, under the Nerf LMTD series to promote the video game Halo Infinite. It requires six "AA" batteries to be operated.

It comes packaged with ten Elite Darts, a display stand, and instructions.

Details
The Needler is a fully-automatic blaster with a ten-dart turret, similar to the Dart Tag Speedswarm. Its design is based on the Type-56 Needler from the Halo video games. It features a series of integrated lights that turn on when the blaster is held; these lights can also be turned on manually and will stay on for two hours at a time. The needles sticking out of the top of the blaster act as an ammo counter, and less of them will glow depending on how many darts are loaded into it.

Similarly to other Nerf LMTD blasters, the box doubles as a display case.

History
The Needler was announced on October 23, 2021 at the Hasbro Pulse fan convention.

Modification
The Needler features a motorized direct plunger system.
