Another good piece of advice is to have your primary and secondary contrast really well, if your secondary is too similar to your primary you might as well have more ammunition for your primary and having primary or secondary you can scavenge darts with is also very important to keep yourself in the fight even if you don't have loaded mags

[@charliealyea5502]

I don't understand why everyone uses practical loadings.For example,why use a rampage with a strongarm,if you could use a mounted turret,a zing bow,2 Hammersmith,and a barrel break

[@eh2239]

not as bulky as a vulcan with a mile long belt

[@ishnsjbeinsjnsbisnjejdje2402]

This is true I had a old dart and it got like 40fps but when I used my new darts I got like 70fps

[@dontmessup63]

Shhhh don't let Walcom see you suing a hammershot

[@mattchan9826]

Cause ya never know when you're gonna get hungry at a Nerf war.

[@mrnormietron4186]

18 dart mags are like the best mags ever, they hold a ton of darts and are super low profile so you can carry a lot of them on your body

[@ashhinman1919]

Ragnar Simonsson unless you are small and the 18 round mags are too big, and you need the 12 worker p mags, because tactics and 12 rounds makes it smaller.

[@Phantom5473]

Agreed

[@SawantStudios]

coop772 in disguise be like lol

[@cirava]

Favorite stock has to be the Lightning Storm stock. Long enough and sturdy. (Don't say anything about that, just don't.)

[@santoshthakur3300]

Marcus H my favorite stock is absolutely that stock because it's long, nice, smooth and firm

[@Specimen-music]

Long and stu-

[@calistathecretin5941]

[@wundrr8716]

nah 18 round drums

[@colombiano1740]

wundrr they take up more space than the reg stick mags

[@badmoth242xl3]

the 12 dart mag revolution has begun!

[@hades332bc9]

I'm going to use a 22 worker mag and there's nothing you can do about it

[@Steve-fl1fx]

My load out is .....stryfe with a 18 round magazine with a raider stock and a modulas long barell and a red dot scope and my back up is the nerf hammer shot

[@EllisHudsonn]

Oliver A11 6 3 I have the same loadout, but with an ak chest rig

[@MyNamesNotDoug]

that's the most generic loadout I've ever heard

[@firstname-jp6nn]

Oliver A11 6 3 mine is a modified rapidstrike with a 35 dart drum and hammer shot

[@electech2732]

Info from the guys who say 18-round mags aren't effective.

[@p_4225]

Electech depends on your play style, if your short or young an 18 mag would be long.

[@muddy_armadillo]

Another tactic you might cover is that when your darts don't like have holes in them, but they are very soft, put like 7 in a paper bag and take a hair dryer to them. It doesn't make them perfect, but it's worth it in my opinion.

[@xcaleavorz]

[@xcaleavorz]

2 hammershot+watermelon

[@melissamayo9765]

dude I have both and I have a retaliater and I use the 12 round mag I use and if you shoot to fast in the rampage in a battle you can get a dart bent in the freaking barrel which I have do before you have to go to your secondary and ditch the rampage afterwards go get a screwdriver and wiggle the dart out

[@RemoLuciano]

xD

[@rosco7009]

Great one,this series is perfect for new players

[@Dcravillion1]

You can use a rough cut as a secondary

[@harveybarton6472]

Doug Cravillion yeah then you'd want your secondary over your primary in special occasions

[@danemortensen8243]

[@michaelvanuytven3072]

A lot of what you are saying I have heard before and implemented, it works really well. I run a mag fed blaster as a primery(I am waiting for help moding my flywheel)and I use that as supression. Then i have a modded Halo Boomco pistol as a sniper since Boomco ammo is better than Nerf because of their design. Then I run an extra 18 drum and a 12 mag with three grenades and 10 boomco darts. My role when playing is typicalt supression/sniping, working with even a teammate i destroy, working alone not so much.

[@the_real_nathaniel_B]

I find that the Nerf Rival Nemesis actually goes quite well with the Nerf Ultra Two; both motorized, two decent rates of fire, and are both easy to reload. Good luck getting your hands on them tho.

[@collinmaxey9805]

My loadout is a slingfire with a Stampede shield and an 18 or 35 found mag/drum and for a secondary a sidestrike: meanwhile if I feel like going tank mode i use a stampede ecs with 2 stampede shields and a 35 round drum with the sidestrike as my secondary

[@joecrosstfxc9566]

TActic 2 for dart handling: I've done that ever since I got my first nerf gun with a magazine, the Centurion. I did whatever I could not to ruin those darts.

[@bennyboi289]

coming from 6 years in the future, would a elite 2.0 echo + elite strongarm be good?

[@gavincullum7478]

what should I use as my sidearm for a stryfe

[@benson705]

Love this series!!!

[@meowycat192nerf2]

Will a Tri Strike and a base Retaliator work good?

[@fischerlynt5457]

i think a sencondary should be not just a backup, but something that acomplishes something that your primary can't. for example: i often use a boomco rapid madness as my primary, and a nerf roughcut 2x4 as a socondary because the rapid madness has an insane rate of fire, accompanied with superb accuracy but lacks in range and can empy it's mag in seconds, so i use the roughcut's shotgun aspect to keep my enimies at bay so i can relode.

[@dj_james170]

Where did you get your holsters from?

[@santoshthakur3300]

I think the 15 round worker banana mag is great because it not bulky and it is very useful and it move easily around corner and higher capacity but 18 round is great it's very practical

[@alpharex4078]

I just got a full auto withe 3 18 round stick mags and I use the hamershot as my secondary

[@nicholaslee2602]

What about the modulus and the barrel strike

[@contryballsfilm2715]

watch your channel since it began

[@SpacegerbilProductions]

HOW DARW YOU SAY 18 ROUND STUCK MAGS ARENT PRACTICAL!!!!!

[@SpacegerbilProductions]

AND YOU SAY THAT 25 ROUND DRUMS ARE MORE PRACTICAL!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DiepJustin]

+Spacegerbil Productions Ikr

[@SpacegerbilProductions]

+TheNerfPanda ok. They never said that 18 round mags are practical at all. Yes 25s are small and practical but not everyone has them. They say that the best mags are 10/12s or 25s. They're pretty much saying if you don't have a 25, only use 10/12s. If you want capacity 18s are the next best thing. They pretty much say "Screw 18s never use them." Pretty much everyone else uses 18s, and they're coming out and saying (this could especially effect a nerfer that is new to the community and only watched a few videos) that they're wrong and don't use 18s.

[@SpacegerbilProductions]

+TheNerfPanda I never said you were a new nerfer

[@fischerlynt5457]

18 round mags (from my experiance) often have jamming problems due to the weak spring in some of the erilier models, however i have never had a moment in which the have been "in the way" as was said in the video. I personaly like to use 12 round mags because i nerf with idiots that don't charge at you while you relode and i just hate jamming.

[@thebeastgamer600]

My load out is a Rap strike and a raven and not to mention the zombie strike crossbow (I'm the support in my team) I have multiple different size mags

[@wake_up_andrew4609]

That was a really helpful video

[@yanping81]

To increase accuracy, use Dart Zone waffle head darts, use a spring blaster like the Alpha-Trooper, Accu-Trooper, Retaliator, or Delta-trooper. And add a stock, a vertical grip, and maybe a barrel attachment.

[@WoofyFloofy26]

Ive never nerfed before but i want to but i dont want to be ultra noob. What would be a good secondary for the raptorstrike? Also would the Barricade be a primary or secondary and what would go with it?

[@StudioEnergizerMV]

Austin Hodgson don't use Nerf raptorstrike for battle use a stryfemor demolisher or barricade as primary And strongarm or hammershot as secondary!

[@everchosenlily]

Austin Hodgson So first of all you need to get rid of the Raptorstrike and buy either a Retaliator, an Alpha Trooper, a Stryfe, a Rapidstrike, a Regulator or a Modulus. Then you propably want the most dart capacity in the least space, so go buy some Worker 22 round banana mags off Amazon. As a secondary I'd highly recommend using a Stryfe without a stock and with a 12 or 18 round stick mag (that's just persobal preference, I use 18s because that's as efficient as it gets without being too large).

[@maynardmacaraig2589]

Is a Stryfe and a Jolt a good loadout?

[@lisalu5023]

Where do you get a holster

[@GamePlay-oc4nl]

i love nerf elite stocades and also n-strike barrcades

[@apollo2.082]

This video helps a lot

[@magnablocker]

i think the modulus stock is epic, just sayin' as well as the strike and defend stock, which is also from the modulus line

[@reloadenjoyer9674]

Hey guys coop 772 says never reload your mag in a war but you guys say reload a mag in a nerf war I'm confused please tell what to do and sometimes you guys tell don't destroy the back of a dart but in the mag loading scene You guys press the back now I super confused

[@quantumyoutubeguy2]

Is this a good loadout? Primary: Titan CS-50 Secondary: Thunderblast Melee: Foam Knife Extra: XXL Size team shield I am a supporting fire + defense class, and I can lift this all so weight isn’t a problem.

[@antonymalko2009]

Haha, I like it.

[@jinxyrainfilms7057]

I usally use 12 round mags because 18 rounds are too long and i cant fit them in my bag.

[@richardliu3631]

i use the tri strike and the strong arm or the retaliator and the strongarm

[@antoinefromental8019]

Recon mk2 is my primary and double strike my secondary is it good?

[@everchosenlily]

The saber guy No. Buy a Stryfe. That (and a few extra mags) is the only thing you're ever going to need to perform decently at a Nerf war.

[@TheFuryGlitch]

personally, you're choosing your sidearm all wrong. it should complement your primary but still useable in it's own right. personally a stryfe with a roughcut is good because it gives you something to scavenge with, holds plenty of darts, doesn't matter where you shove them and it's hard to dodge 2 shots at close range. You can easily switch to it when your blaster jams and if you say you might need a backup while reloading I have one question for you. how long does it take you to remove a mag and put another one in? usually around a second. how long does it take to switch to your sidearm? around the same for most loadouts.

[@GuestGuest-pm2bj]

My loadout is the rapidstrike cs-18 with the ZS doublestrike

[@dynamicplays3302]

My loadout nerf modulus with a surgefire and disruptor

[@jmunday7811]

You have never played in an Nerf war have you Nerf Socom. At least a proper event like HvZ. Honestly you say you shouldn't use 18mag, but they are the most practical way to carry ammo, especially if you have Mollie. Also what about the Stryfe....

[@Jaysonware]

Have you guys ever played in a hvz game or a war

[@thomasbruce9901]

Great verse!

[@simoncameron454]

When's ep 3

[@TheFETT420]

Cool video guys

[@caleb3781]

What the fuck, haven't watched this channel in like 5 years.

[@Creeperboy099]

I wonder if custom made styrofoam darts will perform better... Just curious

[@santoshthakur3300]

Hey but what nerf blaster should I take for primary, secondary and effective backup. I need accuracy, range,medium customized ability and the ammo capacity. My secondary was Mega Cycloneshock ,My primary I don't know and the effective backup I also don't know. if know primary and effective backup please leave me the comment because I am new one there.

[@santoshthakur3300]

yah that's best idea thank you

[@santoshthakur3300]

In Spring Powered Primary I choose nerf Retaliator

[@santoshthakur3300]

AdlerPlays yah thank you

[@Siodail69]

This really helped

[@einbaum7921]

Do you like the nerf mega centurion?

[@hyper96.03]

The tri-strike and Recon MK2 DO NOT work together and all mags jam

[@aaronsagchuy4847]

i love how he just has a banana as his other guns on his vest..., whats that? oh u can use them as guns if you squeeze them hahaha

[@StrawberryCowboy1]

Retaliator, Retaliator stock, Retaliator barrel, Retaliator grip, hammer shot and 18 round orange stick mags

[@abandonedaccount4819]

thanks for the advices

[@swarankj882]

I have a modules it is allvas getting jammed

[@ryansuteja5955]

i use 1 modulus 2 jolt on my pocket and 1 fire strike

[@Creeperboy099]

Loadout: Primary- Strongarm (actually quite reliable for me) Secondary- Strikefire (chosen for the ability to attach to the Strongarm's tactical rail)

[@Creeperboy099]

oh hi there

[@Random-cp6iu]

Retaliator and fire strike is a good loadout

[@cerberusloki.9226]

I'm going to mix this advice with some tacticool tactics

[@connman5053]

He's gotten better

[@meroastisruined3039]

Using the Modulus, saying 18 round mags are impractical and only using stock gear, how long ago did you get into Nerf, it seems like you just started playing

[@TANMAN84]

-_-

[@meroastisruined3039]

I take back that thing about the Modulus, I just think it isn't as good as the Stryfe

[@elizabethhoang1075]

Nice video

[@bradlylopez4671]

can you bring back the nerf stress tests

[@boas7742]

My loadout sledge fire primary secondary disruptor

[@maartend3649]

You are awesome!!!!!

[@popeymadethis]

Appreciate the dry humour

[@gamerx300lolxd2]

thanks guys

[@Boygamer0312]

Lol my loadout is a: Elite alpha trooper Starwars flywheel gun(cant remember name) Recon mk2 on holster Strongarm on holster Firestrike( i think) on holster

[@elitegunner3781]

What kind of loadout combinations doesn't include the stryfe!

[@Mohammed-xz2hg]

retaliator?

[@St34mpunk]

I use: Regulator, regulator stock, scavenger scope (for extra mag) and a grip. Hammershot in holster. Off-brand 3 shot Springer pistol in opposite pocket as holster. (Wearing cargo/khaki pants) Jolt in same pocket as holster. Scavenger dual jolt hidden in clothes. Carrying a 35 mag, 12 mag, (4) 12 mags, and a 6 mag. I carry a total of 118 darts. I am the heavy gunner.

[@antonymalko2009]

Neat loadout.

[@aldorthegreat5267]

I just found your new channel I missed your channel

[@vafliii6175]

is nerf rampage and hammershot good loadout

[@yomama7084]

Momo crazy it's a good loadout but personally I would probably use a gun like stryfe for primary. Smaller and faster well I guess if u only have a spring blaster or u r a springer I guess it is a descent loadout.

[@vafliii6175]

Lol Lol yes i like the spring blasters because i do not have to buy batteries and the gun is quiet

[@fuzzzbuzzz4208]

18 round stick mags are the most practical mags you can have unless you’re tiny.

[@conservativelemonpeel4883]

Yes

[@alexmeng1623]

Thank, it helped

[@weeman9908]

when nerf soon season two coming

[@thatyoutuberstudios6527]

Too bad they didn't continue the series

[@pirateking82]

18 is great

[@nerf-itsnerfornothing65]

what about two primary

[@goldberg91]

the best guns i have are the mediator, double strike and a knockoff gun thats like a 20 round auto firing gun with horrible precision and a built in drum (it takes like 1 minute 35 seconds to reload it ) so, not that great

[@ItsJustFranko]

Nothing against your video but personally I would use the mk2 as a primary with a spring upgrade and pump grip

[@santoshthakur3300]

Franklin Ayres don't use Recon Mark 2 because it doesn't take all magazines. So go buy the Retaliator or upgrade the spring and buy worker pump action kit which is very practical.

[@pocketwingman]

I like to double-side all my 12 round dart magazines. A 12 dart mag goes up, some glue/tape, a 12 dart mag goes down. It will look weird, but hey! Faster reload than having to throw the mags onto the ground and grab a new mag.

[@pocketwingman]

Mentioning the gun. I use a Stryfe with long range modules expansion just because, sights optional, and stock is a worker stock.

[@asdf8816]

they are good tips for nerf
