hey everyone brett here and sometimes i wear a hat let's cut right to the chase i think
x-shot forgot to release blasters this year now we're in fall there's a few months left of 2021
so they could surprise us but i haven't seen anything from next shot have you to
be fair there was one blaster i believe that was going to come out in 2021 it was a dyno blaster
it was their extinct it's like a single shot pistol i don't know if that really counts i
also haven't seen it in stores i haven't seen it online which is very odd because if i think about
all the major companies like nerf dart zone busby at least the major companies that are able to sell
things in stores and online they've had quite a few different offerings that range from good
to bad but what is x shot actually doing then and before we go even further let's address the covet
elephant in the room oh brett maybe they didn't release anything because of kovid okay we're not
talking about a delay in this case we're talking about an absence of new blasters there have been
delays on blasters we know that toys are a lower priority when it comes to getting things to store
shelves i understand that the pandemic is probably impacting zuru toys i'm just saying that clearly
it's impacting them more than other companies or it's something else or it's a mixture of both
because let's jump back into 2020 when things were clearly very different and let's explain why i'm
wearing what i'm wearing and why i clearly look like a walking advertisement i've had a positive
relationship with xshot actually since before 2020. in 2019 they reached out after seeing i made
a video about one of their blasters and they sent me some new blasters to play with they were okay
but then things really changed in 2020 when they officially welcomed me into their x-shot league
i don't exactly know what the league is it seems like it's a group of people that they're sending
cool stuff to what happened in 2020 was i got like four of these packages the first one was pretty
crazy it was the crusher box it had a thousand round chain it had two x shot crushers and over
a couple thousand darts in it now these are the old x-shot darts so they're not you know amazing
but this box was quite big the next one was a smaller royale tackle box with a couple of
shirts in it which is what you see here and the tackle box is what you see behind me also in that
box were some chaos rounds those red rival style rounds and two of their new royale media repaints
after that well that's one of my favorite ones of course that was the dyno box it's a big green box
they came with four dino attack blasters a couple shirts a couple glasses and most importantly
two inflatable dinosaur costumes i have not used those as much as i would like to
maybe more in the future but i am so so happy to have those in my possession and finally the end
of 2020 was the massive briefcase containing gold blasters which was supposed to be part of like uh
recreating a movie seed and tie-in to be fair all of these boxes were meant to have some sort
of advertising associated they weren't saying anything contract wise like you didn't have to
do this they were sending it to you so you could post that on some form of social media but all
these were sent free of charge it was very kind of them to do that and then it was kind of quiet
in the beginning of 2021 didn't hear anything from them didn't see any new blasters until summer of
this year when they actually did send out their latest x-shot league box and this is why i don't
totally understand the f shot league because while i clearly received a bunch of stuff in
the past i didn't actually get this one that's why i don't have anything to show from that box myself
so i don't know if they hate me now or they just felt like i didn't use their previous stuff well
enough they send it to some other people which is awesome for them i'm not jealous i'm just confused
it was a big inflatable x which actually was kind of cool but if it was here it would take up
literally all the space there were a couple hats in there now that was the one thing i did want and
i have one now thanks to captain xavier because he didn't need two but also included in that box was
something that prompted me to really look into making this video the blasters they included in
there were old all their previous league boxes have been new blasters making a way for creators
to highlight and showcase some features of those new blasters before they really hit the market
whereas this newest league box it had two x-shot micros two hawkeyes and two reflex sixes
all those blasters are over three years old so i'm kind of wondering
why is this what they're sending out now because it turns out perhaps i was wrong perhaps they have
been releasing some new blasters this year well kind of they've gone full nerf with their repaints
and reskins now even last year the dino attack blasters those are reskins they're reflex six
reskins it's an old x-shot eliminator i think was the eliminator like the from the bug attack line
they look different but they're functionally the same now in 2021 what we have seen
are some more royale repaints in 2020 the royale line for the orbit and for the meteor well those
were repaints obviously those two blasters have been around for a while i saw a crusher repaint
it's called the omega it's red but it's still the crusher but even on their own website now
they're showing off new royale repaints for the hawkeye the reflex 6 and the kickback which is
kind of weird then why didn't they send the royale repaints in this x-shot league box instead looks
like i waited just long enough for this to become a reality rifle channel has a tick-tock of the new
x-shot box containing the royal repaints a reflex 6 hawkeye and even a crusher with a special gold
chain and gold darts no idea if i'll get this one either but i expect to see more very soon
there was one more repaint that dropped really recently and you're going to love this one x shot
and faze clan together at last oh boy they painted them clear guys it's clear blasters now you can do
that you can paint your blasters clear we've got the respawn which is a meteor repaint and we've
got the rage quit which is an orbit repaint i've never hated names so much as i do now now this is
not the first time that xshot has gone full gamer mode they partnered with ninja before to release
some exclusive repaints so those are some of the general updates i can find when searching their
website and the internet in general nothing really on facebook to hint at new products so let's
check out their instagram because i feel like they're pretty active uh when i'm on instagram
oh oh that's different well that doesn't help me at all then does it
so this happened actually fairly recently to their nearly 10 000 followers on instagram
this is what you see now everything else has been wiped clean there are only nine posts
nine squares that make up up your game x lincoln bio hashtag up your game lincoln bio up your game
link and buy a link in bio and what is in their bio up your game with us on tick-tock
this is a tick-tock ploy good grief well i commented on my favorite square uppy
or the beginning of up yours and i asked hey xshot are you releasing any new blasters soon
no response yet so i'll keep you updated if they do respond i'm just trying to find answers man
i don't get what is going on this marketing strategy is way over my head they want us to
go to tick-tock tick-tock is where the goods are going to be so come along friends i have made some
other videos about tick-tock in the past most of them have been nerf focused so for a slight update
to a previous story i didn't get into the nerf hype attorney but you know what did happen the
one positive thing that did come of that nerf now follows me on tick tock we have done it everyone
nerf now validates me they don't but they follow me on tick tock thank you sophie lightning
maybe she'll follow me from her actual account soon too what does that mean
not much other than to say i follow x shot on tick tock already and x shot doesn't follow me
so now nerf will follow me but x shot won't am i not good enough for you i don't care that you
didn't send me the most recent league box follow me on tick tock darn it i have my priorities in
order clearly when i go to their page i see a very familiar hashtag up your game with xshot
nice i'm sure that'll stick at some point it seems like they've accumulated more followers recently
they must have had some good hits but i see them post every now and then look they're following
68 people i could be 69 so let's browse through some of these shall we let's see what they have
to offer oh who's this this thing is basically a little brother to the reflex who's this guy
he needs to be hit in the face with a hot dog if you ask me at a glance you can see there are
some recurring characters on x shots tick tocks and if i go to the people that they're following
they show up pretty much right away so shout out to daniel rhodes and joshua young did i
say that right josh and daniel cool and just going through some of these what are they thumbnails on
tick tock i don't know you can see that all these blasters are again old we've got the hawkeye front
and center i don't the hawkeye's not terrible it's just it's a single shot break action it's three
years ago it's old i can see the crusher which is from last year okay reflex six some of those side
clip fed things the battle scout yeah i know that's a nerf equivalent oh wait a minute
there was a special like chrome red crusher giveaway i must have missed that
whoops that's kind of cool so i guess they are using tick tock more than i thought
never seen that one before maybe it is actually exclusive but while a lot of these tick tocks are
light-hearted and fun there is a darker side that is slowly brewing and that is
the constant barrage of negative comments saying it's nerf or nothing you just can't live like that
on a tick-tock page for x-shot it's actually kind of funny because nerf really hates x-shot because
they've been stealing their market share that's literally the reason that alpha strike exists
that's a really good point diane thank you so much for bringing that up thank you
and also diane i just want all right the gauntlet has been thrown nerf is so much
better xshot is the walmart version of nerf every masterpiece always has its cheap copy
masterpiece nerf in their masterful elite 2.0 mwah ultra nerf handshake
x shot see why can't we all be friends it's x shot for nothing oof it's nerf or nothing it's
nerf or nothing it's nerve or nothing it's nerve or nothing is nerve or not oh my gosh
guys i think my mental health is not too bad today i'm actually having a pretty decent day
that's a brutal comment a day in the life of an ex-shot enthusiast
my condolences nerf or nothing nerf is better than your low quality products the harassment never
ends there's so much you don't know about me like what are you like axe murderer worse worse what
i'm a gamer of course top comment on that nerf is better and then nerf is way better
lmao yeah nerf extra see some people wish for peace while others wish for war
oh he didn't even shoot us that time people are still gonna be upset x shot be strong it is
the haters who are nothing see once again i'm offering my condolences and then someone said
bro what nah the haters are right oh no the haters are not right big oof how many kids do
you see growing up off of xshot compared to nerf well that's kind of weird because obviously nerf
has been around for a lot longer nerf is better they make guns with motors but heck shot doesn't
you heard it here first nerf is better because they have flywheelers it's called a nerf war
not an egg shot war roasted at nerf time to go to war see this is what i'm most disappointed about
x shot has these tick tocks every now and then that call out nerf you know just little jabs it's
nothing harmful it's just you know having a bit of fun but nerf has never responded sophie lightning
get on this start the online feud there was one with like target and walmart you could do
that too it would be for our entertainment all these tick tocks are okay quality but the ones
where you start beef that's what the people want that's what i want sorry let me just make it clear
i want to see you guys fight but for nerf it's probably not worth acknowledging xshot even exists
okay i think i'm done with tiktok for the rest of the day my point here of course is that i'm
just curious why xshot hasn't released any new blasters this year again perhaps there are some
very valid reasons but they're pushing their tick tock which has old blasters they're sending
out new boxes which contain old blasters maybe they're just finding it more useful to reuse old
molds or they just have a lot of those blasters sitting around and while x-shot blasters may
overall be lower quality than nerf they're great performers i don't think anyone can
argue against that it would just be nice if they fix their darts make them more compatible
make those tips a little less easy to pull off and hey if you're actually going to look into
half darts that would be amazing because for one then they would definitely need to redesign
the darts but for two then there would be some good competition to the ever growing half dart
ecosystem but i don't know what to expect at this point zuru if you're watching this reach out to me
follow your boy on tick tock he feels lonely nerf is following me on tick tock do you want nerf to
be ahead of you do you really want to be nerf or nothing all i can do now is pass the question off
to you guys what do you make of all this do you hope to see more x-shot blasters in 2022
are you going to be getting any of these repaints or re-skins that they're putting out this year why
won't x-shot follow me on tick-tock i don't know why i'm so hung up about that one i just needed
something to call them out on let's see what they do because if they don't release anything
for the rest of this year and next year eek that's not good is it thank you everyone so
much for watching like comment and subscribe for more x shot videos and i'll see you next time
you
