[REVIEW] Nerf Rival Pathfinder, Vision, & Fate | Group Review

[@outofdarts]

It's a good Saturday morning when Coop uploads. Welcome back!

[@meowmyr]

did you find any darts btw

[@gasfasdf9374]

2nd reply! Hey Out of Darts!

I don't often like before watching, but I will today

Can we have an Out of Darts Collab with Coop?

Breach weapons have never been practical but I think the Fate is a first for Nerf. You're running around the battlefield with Rival rounds all over the place, and if you have the muscle memory down for loading the Fate then you don't have to stress over picking up a random round and putting it in the chamber the right way. Also it's tiny and super well-shaped so it can fit in a pocket. Great weapon!

[@kgcm8578]

The flex is very similar though.

[@thefreakhouse]

Knockout is also like the fate

[@alanchou88]

Won't call it tiny for a one-shot blaster.

[@cstephenson9223]

@@alanchou88 yeah that’s the jolts place in the plastic food chain😝

[@Bored_Overthinker]

@@thefreakhouse it is, but it's a little more annoying to use, it just feels very confused. It is not a very practical blaster, as the jolt makes a lot more sense, but it still feels like it's trying to be normal. The Fate embraces it's weirdness and just lets itself go, that's why it's a better blaster. Also the t-bar priming system in the Fate is way better.

[@Bored_Overthinker]

Using the rival fate makes me feel like some kind of bounty hunter right out of Star Wars or something. It has such a cool vibe to it, and I'm so glad I picked it up at Target yesterday!

I like how little excessive plastic there is. Some of the past blasters have a ton of excess stuff on them, these are nicely streamlined

[@Jules279]

Someone at Nerf actually thought about practicallity for once🥺.

[@GresSimJa]

GROUP REVIEW BABY I love these blasters, especially the Fate is fun to mess around with. Firestrike-type blasters never disappoint.

[@spideravengermiller3920]

Bro I agree I sadly wasn’t able to pick up the fate but the pathfinder and bison are really cool and honestly the pathfinder has probably become one of my favorite blasters

I love the Pathfinder! With some fairly minimal upgrades it performs exceptionally well. Right now mine has the OOD upgrade spring and the Apex kit from Foam Pro Shop.

[@thesodathief]

Do you know what fps its hitting at? also does it maintain a decent level of accuracy with the spring mod?

[@e90baby]

I love the way the path finder looks, could we know the fps of yours?

@@thedipermontshow ye it is getting kinda old

[@thedipermontshow]

@@puvaaneswaranpathmanathan8111 yeah :/

[@brilliantcut2488]

I got a pathfinder and tried it with old clear mags. The mags fit just fine, but it wouldn't feed. Checking the older mags vs the orange one, I found the older clear mags lack these extra bits just under the lip that seat the mag properly. I glued some extra bits to the area and now they set fine, but if you have older gear, double check your stuff

[@Sintacs]

Depends on the clear mags, they're not all the same. I have a mag I got with a Hera that fails to feed, but two I bought on their own (Nerf brand) feed just fine. 7 round clear mags and the Finisher mag are hit or miss.

[@PheonyxJay]

Yeah I swapped mags with my friend who had newer ones and I bought ones I found were older, they worked with his blaster no problem, and his worked for my Pathfinder, I do think any recent rival mags (assumption is around the release of Phantom Corps blasters) will work just fine for the Pathfinder

[@moistmoose4799]

I remember when I used to watch these videos as a kid I would get so needlessly upset that he says "painted clear" but now as an adult thats the only way I refer to clear plastic because of Coop lol Great video as always my guy! ❤

[@cobalt2672]

It seems we're getting more and more away from the original intention of Rival (battle-effective blasters with accurate ammo) and into the "gimmick zone" of Nerf Elite or Zombie Strike. Not disappointed, just interesting

[@Insomia404]

and tbh, i think the gimmicks in these rival lineups are still quite battle effective

[@gabrielpalileo3294]

Yeah, and both the Pathfinder and the Fate would have a place in Rival loadouts.

[@ARC--5973]

*Uploaded 28 seconds ago* Tip: Switching to your Coop is always faster than reloading

[@darrenvoong9013]

A point about the pathfinder: it doesn’t work with old rival mags. They don’t seat high enough to actually load rounds in. It can be fixed by adding some small bits of plastic to the mag though

[@ryguy07777]

Apparently coop's pathfinder works fine with other mags unlike most pathfinders on sale... how odd.

[@raceplayzichighidorahplayz702]

0:46 it is impossible to at least not smirk right here 😂

[@iexistforvoting4482]

@@madnessforever2356 yeah dude

[@kriskarmaa]

it could be possible to mod the fate to have like a 2 or 3 rnd mag, not 10 or 20 bc that takes away from the uniqueness, but a 2-3 rnd mag would be cool

[@Commando-jh3wh]

Great review Coop! You’ve only gotten better over the years.

[@MMB77776]

I love how Coop actually is honest and doesn't get caught up in the hype, people say the new rounds ARE more accurate, but again, it's just the hype

[@kayc7442]

Try them in a different brand like adventure force or x-shot. You might be surprised.

[@Bored_Overthinker]

I've done my own testing, and I can confirm, these new ones aren't any more accurate, but they do look a little cooler in my opinion. I just really like the color they chose. The only downside is that it's a little harder to find in the grass than the bright and yellow ones. Heck, even the edge rounds were pretty easy to find.

[@Bukkarooo]

I can't help but think that the new dimpling on the accu-rival rounds MIGHT make a difference....if not for the Nerf and Rival logos and the seam line. Maybe not, but those cannot be helping lol. Anyway I dig this line, they all look really slick and clean! Shame the Vision is a bit awkward to hold, because I do love the look it gets making the grip and magazine parallel like that. And somehow I've not seen people really compare the Fate to the Knockout. It's just a Knockout with a back prime instead of in-grip, and removing the extra step of manually opening the breach by adding that to the prime action. I'm just curious if it'll have the mod potential that the Knockout did!

[@djhollis8841]

I’m not gonna lie, I think I saw a slight difference in accuracy between the two rounds. Either way I love the pathfinder. It just looks really really cool

[@DingusYi]

I hope nerf gets back to producing blasters like the Titan, the Mastodon, Prometheus, Nemesis, Perses, and Khaos. Such cool looking blasters which are actually very fun and (depending on situation) practicool to use.

[@wanewo0888]

LET’S GO Coop’s back!

[@thefuturerex0197]

Person: hey could I get a Big Mac? Coop: no, this is a rival blaster

[@averycoussons944]

I do believe I can see the difference in accuracy here, the regular ones flew off to the sides sometimes. The blue ones didn’t seem to do that

[@FoamFlingingHS]

Glad you're back Coop!

[@dinotronYT]

Honestly the new rival colors look awesome!

[@willcdbcdb]

i always watch Coop’s reviews for any nerf blasters. he gives details that no other youtubers give

[@SevereStorm2030]

Nerf rival accu darts are actually better than the original nerf rival Darts accu darts are more painful and they're not as squishy.

[@hellotheregeneralkonobi4010]

7:17 it’s funny when he says if that’s not obvious enough you need better glasses when he holds it at the one angle that we can’t see if it’s primed or not

[@kaeli3741]

The vision is similar to the xshot meteor in form factor, which has a internal magazine in the bottom, and they kinda look the same, Happy that coop is back, welcome back dudebro!

[@joculous9306]

When the nerf community needed him most, he is back!

[@rainao7586]

Just a reminder for anybody wanting to buy the pathfinder, you will have to do some modding to your old mags for them to fit into the blaster, the new mag has steps with make it about a centimeter taller

[@Compulsor]

Oddly enough, both the VISION and the FATE can be front-loaded, you just need to stick the round far enough for the blaster to propel it

[@gariko]

7:16 "If that's not obvious enough, get some new glasses"... Coop holds it up to the black background so you can't see it. Some deep trolling there 🤣

[@NuhUhNotTrue]

[@Makotosaber]

The firing demo is interesting because it shows the compatibility between the pathfinder and older rival mag. Maybe hasbro secretly fixed the issue or there are different versions of pathfinder.

[@Sintacs]

There's different versions of the clear mags. The 12 round mag I got with my Hera won't feed, but the two extras I have that I purchased on their own feed just fine. They have different feed tabs as well, the Hera mag has a flat bit vs the other two being more pointed.

[@Makotosaber]

@@Sintacs I see, thanks for the info. I'm going to check my mags later.

[@Sofubi]

Looks cool like a cyber punk 2077 look! The color scheme is fabulous. Thanks, Coop for helping me get back into nerfing! Just getting back into Nerf as a grown ass woman. This along with MMA is a lot more fun than traditional exersize. I don't care how foolish I look, it sure is a hell of a lot more fun than just doing "grown up" exersize. For our anniversary I got my guy and I nerf guns. A Kronos and Takedown for each of us. He was so happy! They are both sort of the same capability wise but we both really like the pump action of the Takedown. He bought himself a new blaster, not telling me what it is and is planning a suprise attack. Meanwhile I just got myself the Adventure Force Sportsman. I found a Zombie Strike Flipfury at the thrift store and we are in love with it. We also have Alpha Strike Claws and jolts. Cheap, but really fun. We play Jenga by shooting the blocks down. Now these new cyberpunk-esque blasters are really friggen rad but we need good primaries. Thinking for my guys birthday getting him a Hades cause he's so tall it will work perfect for him!...Unless that's the blaster he already got while he's planning to do black ops on me!

Hope you had a nice break. I'm frustrated that the big online US shop ships all other Nerf blasters to this country, but not these. I think it's because they're direct from Hasbruh. As they're not rare in the US like Walmeh exclusives there aren't even any scalpers on Ebayz.

[@michaellee4276]

The Mileage you have gotten from Rival shooting "Balls" is astounding. When you unboxed the Pathfinder and said "balls" plainly, I almost unsubscribed right then. But for the Vision and Fate, you really brought it with increasing Gusto. And when Nerf decided to color their new Accu-rival rounds Blue-- it had to be a personal gift to Frank Cooper. The only time it is acceptable to not say "BAAWLS" is when you say "blueballs" without a hint of a space or a pause. I only wish the new blue accu-rounds were actually more accurate. But any frustrated teenager could have told you that no task has ever been improved by blueballs. Welcome back.
