The Nerf LMTD Halo Needler is said to be released on December 1, 2022 and is currently in pre-order. At least this is the word on the street from the official marketing team.
Here is what we know so far about the product and it’s contents.

- Instructions?
Lets discuss what we know and keep our fingers cross that the marketing holds true to it’s word and doesn’t alter to much from the plan between now and release.
Nerf LMTD Halo Needler Premium Packaging
The initial images of the “Premium Packaging” looks amazing but it does leave you wondering what Hasbro’s definition of premium will deliver. This was released in their marketing.
Everything comes in premium packaging that’s great for display
With a $100 price tag on the gun I can see the necessity of having all the appropriate brand and packaging elements to support the release so lets assume it’s a step up from their typical packaging. Again it depends on their definition of premium which could very well be a sturdier box with amazing visuals. In which case I would be content.
Nerf LMTD Halo Needler Ammo & Capacity
EASY TO RELOAD NERF GUN WITH ROTATING DRUM
This blaster has a 10 round capacity and is fed by a rotating drum. As we mentioned above this is a motorized process so the gun will cycle and rotate the drum automatically as darts are fired. A fully automated priming process.
- 10 Round Capacity
- Drum Fed
- Elite Darts (10x)
RELOADING THE NEEDLER
The reloading process looks to be very efficient. Elite Darts are loaded directly into the rotating drum from the front of the blaster. There is something mentioned about the front of the gun opening up but the marketing wasn’t very clear on the exact component.
NERF LMTD HALO NEEDLER FIRING MODES
The LMTD Halo Needler is a motorized, semi-automatic blaster that will fire Nerf darts as fast as the trigger can be pulled. It will require batteries (6x AA) in order to operate and illuminate the gun, however, it shouldn’t add a signification amount of weight to the blaster.
- MOTORIZED
- SEMI-AUTOMATIC
- INTERACTIVE NEEDLES AND ACCENT LIGHTS
HALO LMTD ADDITIONAL FEATURES
When you grip the handle it will light up the needles and other various accent areas. Each time the trigger is pulled a dart will fire and one of the illuminated needles will go dark, simulating the same effect as the gun from the game. A cool feature no doubt.
The LMTD Halo Needler as Shown on The Display Rack
The gun will also come with a new display mode. Something that’s unique to the LMTD Halo Needler. It’s a feature that allows the gun to illuminate and show off all of it’s features. So not only do you have a $100 Nerf gun, you also have a very expensive night light.
THE NERF GUNS ACCENT LIGHTING
The marketing is not very specific on what all lights up while the blaster is in display mode. We do know that the needles will illuminate when you grip the handle along with some additional accent areas but it’s the additional accent areas that we are unsure of.
I’m sure that the display mode will be very similar to what the gun looks like when in operation. We can only speculate at this point until some more information or images are released.
