Nerf brand blasters generally have a low rate of fire, so try something like the Dart Zone Spectrum or Worker Phoenix. Be sure to pack a secondary blaster such as the Dart Zone Storm Squad or Pro Mk. II for when your main blaster runs out of ammo (or, if you’re in a high FPS game, to tag closer targets). Make sure it can fit in your pocket if you don’t have a holster.

Patient players with good aim make the best snipers. When sniping, keep yourself concealed to avoid being forced into a showdown.

Simpler is better for players who frequently play many different roles. Pump-action springers like the Alpha Trooper and Dart Zone Conquest Pro are great all-rounders.

Load up on extra magazines (sold separately) so that you can reload mid-game. It’s recommended you modify your blasters to shoot half-length darts, so magazines like the Worker Talon mags and Out Of Darts Tachi mags are great options. Certain Nerf blasters like the Disruptor and the Hammershot are cylinder loaded, which means it’s easy to scoop darts right up off the ground if you need to quickly reload on the spot.

Modded long-range weapons can send darts flying up to 100 feet, and some (like Bradley Phillips’) can even reach 200. If the Nerf blaster is not modified but its range is high then it can reach a maximum of 65 to 100 feet. By using optionally available modding accessories such as stronger springs, brass barrels, and (if you’re using balls) hop-up tabs, the range of every blaster can be increased up to 100 feet on the basis of their mod capabilities.

Take time to line up your shots. It can be easy to burn through ammo when you’re carelessly firing two weapons at once. This will be useless if you’re using Nerf Elite darts, since they don’t care how long you take to aim your blaster, they’ll go wherever they want. Dart Zone wafflehead darts are best for most blasters.

Make sure you save a few darts for your sidearm. Many of the more compact Nerf blasters only hold between 3-15 darts. These types of blasters are easier to dual-wield, provided you’ve got the means to carry them.

The drawing and firing action of a bow makes significantly less noise than regular blasters, which often click loudly when they fire.

Pair a sword with an assault-class like the Spectrum to become unstoppable in ranged or hand-to-hand skirmishes.
