The Halo Needler Nerf Blaster is currently available for $67 at Amazon for Black Friday 2024. Part of Nerf’s LMTD (limited edition) collection, the Needler serves as both a functional blaster and an awesome collectible that can even be displayed on its included stand—though where’s the excitement in that? Especially since this is considered one of the top Nerf blasters available. It usually retails for $100, so you’ll be saving 33% by purchasing it this weekend. This offer is genuinely limited in availability, with approximately 50% of these blasters already taken.
As one of the most recognizable weapons in the Halo franchise, the Needler is famous for its rapid firing capabilities. To replicate the weapon used by Covenant Grunts, Nerf incorporated a motor in the blaster. When you pull the trigger, the Needler fires all 10 Nerf Elite Darts in quick succession, which means you’ll want to reload after each pull. The rotating drum is capped by a shield that you can flip open to reload.
The electronic features don’t stop at the motor. The needles and accents on the blaster illuminate when activated. The lighting effects can also be turned on by activating stealth mode, allowing you to show it off to friends without removing it from the display stand. You can easily tell others that it is not a toy when your friends ask to give it a try. You’ll probably want to showcase the display area below as well, since it’s also quite impressive.
The Needler requires six AA batteries to operate. Your best option here is to pair the blaster with rechargeable batteries. You can get this Energizer AA and AAA battery charger with four batteries at 50% off on Amazon during the Black Friday sale. You may need two additional batteries, but a 16-pack of Amazon Basics AA batteries is just $14 right now. Alternatively, you might get even better value by choosing the 24-pack for $18.
Halo enthusiasts may also want to check out Target’s offer on the Mega Showcase Xbox 360 Collector Building Set. Officially authorized by Microsoft, this 1,342-piece set includes models of the original white Xbox 360, a controller, and a Halo 3 game disc. It features a fake game disc that produces light effects when the console “reads” it. Mega’s Xbox 360 Collector Building Set is available at Target and discounted by 50% through November 30.
