From Online Craze to Store Shelves: Nerf’s Outstanding Fornite Blaster Line
Fortnite, an open-world survival shooting game that allows players to explore vast terrains, collect various materials that will help them to be the last person alive, and battle against other skilled players, has become a cultural phenomenon that almost every child and gamer has heard about.
Fortunately enough, this digital game has transcended its online constraints and Nerf decided to design a line of blasters modeled after in-game blasters for those who are fans of both digital and real-life action.

If you love the Fortnite game and want to learn more about what these blasters have to offer, take a look at our comprehensive guide below that covers each of the five available Fortnite blasters produced by Nerf so far.
The is one of the best Nerf Fortnite blasters on the market.
Kicking off this list is the Fortnite AR-L Nerf Elite Dart Blaster, which is a blaster modeled after one of the blasters in the video game (and modeled quite well if we do say so ourselves).
This blaster strays from the typical Nerf blaster design, which often seeks to create a futuristic, mechanical body and instead opts for a cartoonish-looking body and texture that helps it to further resemble the way that it looks in the game.
With a boxy body and bright yellow, orange, and grey and black coloring, the Fortnite AR-L blaster truly stands out in terms of Nerf design and helps to establish itself as an authentic blaster from the game.

Beyond the stylistic choices of this gun, the Fornite AR0L blaster is among the best of the series that Nerf has spawned so far.
This blaster is large and in charge, meant for serious blasting with features like a built-in shoulder stock, motorized blasting capabilities, a banana that is able to hold up to 10 darts at a time, and two flip-up sights at the top of the blaster that help you to maintain accuracy when firing at enemies.
In addition, this blaster comes with its own Nerf Fortnite-themed darts that help to tie the experience together.
All one has to do to start using this blaster is to load the clip and pop it into the section underneath the gun, hold down the acceleration trigger, and begin firing at will. Once fired, this blaster is said to be capable of reaching ranges of up to 62 feet at each shot.
While it is rather bulky and is not recommended for smaller Nerf enthusiasts, the Fortnite AR-L Nerf Elite Dart Blaster is an excellent choice for bigger Nerf and Fortnite fans who want to make an impression on the battlefield.
While the first item on our list is the only large blaster that you will encounter in the current Fortnite series, the rest that we cover are small but can still pack a punch and useful in battle.
The Fortnite SP-L Nerf Elite Dart Blaster is a blaster that is, again, modeled after a gun used in the game and features the same color scheme but with a more traditional Nerf build and some cartoonish aspects focused on additional design elements that have been added to the gun.
- Dart-blasting Fortnite blaster replica: this spy-l blaster is inspired by the blaster used in Fortnite, capturing the look and colors of the one in the popular video game
- Detachable barrel: comes with a detachable barrel so you can customize the Fortnite spy-l blaster
- Internal 3-dart clip: the blaster has an internal clip with a 3-dart Capacity so you can fire 3 darts in a row

- English (Publication Language)
This Nerf gun is one that is capable of holding three darts at a time that are loaded via the top, an interesting choice considering that this is not a typical loading mechanism seen featured throughout other Nerf guns.
Along with the new loading method, the blaster also comes with a detachable barrel that is designed for long-distance blasting and that can be removed for those who need a more compact weapon that can easily be carried around in battle.

As with some other Nerf blasters, the Fortnite SP-L is primed by pulling back on the top part of the gun and then fired when the trigger is pulled.
Once fired, the darts are said to be able to reach distances of around 80 feet, a much farther distance than the previously mentioned semi-automatic blaster.
Despite being rather large with its detachable barrel, this small handgun is perfect for stealth attacks or when you find yourself trapped in a situation that requires a quick fix and it is certainly an interesting blaster with all of its additional features making it one of the best Fortnite Nerf guns!
Along with the aforementioned semi-automatic blaster and handgun, there are three collectible MicroShot blasters in the Nerf Fortnite series, with the Fortnite TS Nerf MicroShots Dart-Firing Toy Blaster being the first.
- Fortnite its dart-firing blaster: Nerf microshots mini-sized blaster toy is inspired by the blaster used in the popular Fortnite video game.

- Part of the collectible microshots series: the blaster is part of the Micro shot series of collectible, micro-sized dart-firing blasters
The Fortnite TS Nerf MicroShots Dart-Firing Toy Blaster is one of the more classic-looking Nerf guns, despite being designed to resemble extremely compact versions of Fortnite guns within the game.
This blaster has a primarily gray and white body with a splash of red on the front and the back of the gun and a couple of pieces that have the classic Nerf gun orange. It doesn’t stand out too much in terms of design but still looks good in terms of quality and build.
Regarding its functionality, the Fortnite TS MicroShot Blaster can fire one dart at a time and features a pull-down cocking mechanism that is easy to prime for fire.
As with all MicroShot blasters in this serious, the smaller blasters are capable of reaching distances of up to 80 feet, proving that this piece is not only collectible but valuable as a backup weapon or a main weapon for young children as well.
If you are seeking something small yet mighty, the Fortnite TS MicroShots Dart-Firing Toy Blaster will get the job done.
4. The Fortnite RL Nerf MicroShots Dart-Firing Toy Blaster
If you are insistent on purchasing something from the MicroShot line but want something with a little more personality than the TS, the RL makes for a much better purchase.
Unlike the TS, the Fortnite RL Nerf MicroShots Dart-Firing Toy Blaster definitely has a body that is out of the game, with a cartoonish and outlandish looking design that features predominantly gray and orange coloring and a comical looking face at the end of the blaster that wraps up the turret-looking design of this MicroShot.

For those who love collecting the MicroShots series but who want one of the blasters that perform well and look good when they charge into battle, the Fortnite RL Nerf MicroShots Dart-Firing Toy Blaster is one of the better options to choose from
Last but not least, we have the final blaster of the MicroShots series, which offers a much more exciting design compared to other Fortnite blasters produced by Nerf.
Although it has the same mechanics and performance, the Fortnite Llama Nerf MicroShots Dart-Firing Toy Blaster has an exciting design that takes on the appearance of a llama.
- Fortnite Llama dart-firing blaster: Nerf microshots mini-sized blaster toy is inspired by the iconic loot Llama used in the popular Fortnite video game

The entirety of the body is a mellow purple, with light and dark blue, dark gray, and orange thrown in to help maintain the Nerf blaster feel.
The top of the gun has a more cartoonish, smooth, boxy look that helps to mimic the game’s appearance and the bottom of the blaster has a design that imitates a piñata and adds some excitement to the mix.
Just like the other blasters, this gun is a front-loading gun with a pull-down mechanism and the ability to shoot its darts up to 80 feet.
Arguably the most exciting blaster in this series, the Fornite Llama Nerf MicroShots Dart-Firing Toy Blaster is effective and hilarious out on the battlefield.
