Fortnite is a Hasbro-owned brand of Nerf products, based on the popular video game of the same name.
Details[]
The Fortnite Nerf blasters and Super Soakers are all based on weapons or items found in-game.
Many blasters released attempt to replicate the in-game rarity system, including "Epic", "Legendary", and "Rare" versions for certain re-releases. Other releases replicate certain Wraps or weapon skins, providing a more unique look to a blaster.
Product names are often abbreviated; for example, the blaster based on the game's Legendary Assault Rifle has had its name abbreviated to "AR-L", the letter after the dash indicating its "rarity". Blasters that follow this naming convention also have a unified color scheme, with "Legendary" blasters coming in a yellow color scheme, "Epic" in a purple color scheme, and "Rare" in a blue color scheme. This loosely matches the colors used to represent these rarities in the game, rather than the actual appearance of the weapon in-game.
History[]
The Fortnite-Nerf collaboration was announced in October of 2018; the first Fortnite blasters made an appearance at the 2019 New York Toy Fair.

Micro Shots[]
Main article: Micro Shots
A sub-series that includes various Nerf series and other toy brands, Micro Shots blasters are re-shelled Jolt EX-1s that are modeled after other blasters; the Fortnite Micro Shots blasters, instead, resemble weapons from the video game.
Trivia[]
- The rarity with the most products released for it is Legendary, with seven products total.
- The abbreviation of blaster names may have been done to distance gun violence away from toy blasters and Super Soakers, the same reason blasters are not referred to as "guns".
- A curious example is the blaster based on the game's Epic Submachine Gun, which is referred to as the SMG-E. "SMG" is a common and recognizable abbreviation for submachine gun.
- Interestingly enough, Fortnite action figures are produced by toy company Jazwares, which has also produced products and accessories for the Nerf brand.
- Zuru also produced a line of dart blasters branded after popular Fortnite streamer Ninja.
