The Halo Needler Nerf Blaster is on sale for $67 at Amazon for Black Friday 2024. Part of Nerf’s LMTD (limited edition) series, the Needler is both a functional blaster and cool collectible that can be left on its included stand and admired from afar–but where’s the fun in that? Especially since this is one of the coolest Nerf blasters around. It normally costs $100, so you’re saving 33% by picking it up this weekend. This deal is only available in limited quantities, and nearly 50% of these blasters have been claimed.
One of the most iconic weapons in the Halo series, the Needler is known for its rapid rate of fire. To imitate Covenant Grunts’ go-to weapon, Nerf installed a motor in the blaster. When you pull the trigger, the Needler launches all 10 Nerf Elite Darts in rapid succession. Yes, this means you will have to reload after each pull. The rotating drum is covered by a shield that you flip open to reload.
The electronic components don’t don’t stop at the motor. The needles and accents on the handle glow when you hold it. The lighting effects can also be activated by turning on display mode, so you can show it off to friends without removing it from the display stand. You could even insist that it’s not a toy while your friends ask if they can try it. You’ll probably also want to display the box shown below, because it’s also quite cool.
The Needler requires six AA batteries to run. Your best bet here is to pair the blaster with some rechargeable batteries. You can get this Energizer AA and AAA battery charger with four batteries included for 50% off at Amazon during its Black Friday sale. You’ll need two more batteries still, but a 16-pack of Amazon Basics AA batteries is only $14 right now. Or you can get even better value by opting for the 24-pack for $18.
Halo fans should also check out Target’s deal on the Mega Showcase Xbox 360 Collector Building Set. Officially licensed by Microsoft, this 1,342-piece set includes buildable models of the original white Xbox 360, a controller, and a Halo 3 game box. It comes with a fake game disc that produces lighting effects when the console “reads” it. Mega’s Xbox 360 Collector Building Set is exclusive to Target and discounted by 50% through November 30.
