The NERF LMTD Halo Needler Brings a Digital Weapon to Life

— October 26, 2021 — Life-Stages
The NERF LMTD Halo Needler is a life-like version of the namesake weapon from the Halo video game series that will provide avid fans with a way to incorporate a touch of the digital pastime into their foam dart battles.

The foam dart blaster is capable of shooting up to 10 darts consecutively thanks to its rapid-fire drum and is outfitted with needles that will light up as soon as the user grips the handle. The blaster also comes with a code that will unlock exclusive in-game content for the upcoming Halo Infinite game.

The NERF LMTD Halo Needler is available now for preorder for $100, but won't be available for fans to get their hands on in real life until December 1, 2022.
