If you were worried that the real-life foam firing version of the infamous Gjallarhorn rocket launcher from Destiny<\/em><\/a> would be disappointingly kid-sized, you can put those fears to rest: Bungie has just revealed what an actual blaster looks like \u2014 and when fans can get it. <\/p>\n

Preorders<\/a> for the over 4-foot-long, 1:1 scale blaster will begin July 7th at 10AM PT \/ 1PM ET, and existing Gjallarhorn owners get dibs. If you\u2019re looking to purchase the prop-grade Nerf LMTD blaster, you need to unlock it in-game in the Destiny 2<\/em> Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack before<\/em> July 7th at 9AM PT before you can join the \u201cvirtual waiting room\u201d for your purchase. So, you\u2019ve got just over a week. If there are any left, Bungie will put them up for sale beginning July 21st. <\/p>\n

Now for some bad news: the price has gone up $25 without explanation. It\u2019ll now be $185 instead of the $160 that Bungie announced last December. And there\u2019s no word yet on even a rough estimate of when it might ship. A previous Nerf LMTD product<\/a> took over a year to arrive. Others<\/a> are<\/a> still inbound.<\/p>\n

You also shouldn\u2019t expect this Gjallarhorn to fire rockets that split into multiple darts like we\u2019d hoped<\/a>. In a larger reveal on Bungie\u2019s website<\/a>, the designers have clarified that you\u2019ll load a shell that houses three of Nerf\u2019s large Mega darts, and you\u2019ll see those three Mega darts simultaneously leave the barrel. Admittedly, that makes a lot more sense for Nerf physics and safety constraints<\/a> than firing off a rocket.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that shell, we\u2019re shooting three of those MEGA darts at once, which gives that visual sense of the Wolfpack Rounds swirling and flying through the air towards your target,\u201d says Nerf senior project engineer Justin Saccone. You get three of those Mega shells and nine darts in total. <\/p>\n

The reloading mechanism sounds really cool:<\/p>\n

\n

We wanted to integrate how it reloads in the game so the entire top housing of the Blaster itself shifts forward, it opens the loading bay just like it does in the game, you pop the shell in just like the animation, and then you pull it back and you\u2019re ready to blast off a burst of three MEGA darts, which is super awesome. It\u2019s the first time at NERF that we\u2019ve ever done an easily reloadable MEGA dart shell that fires multiple MEGA darts at once. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately, Bungie and Hasbro haven\u2019t provided any photos or video of that mechanism in action, so you\u2019ll have to use your imagination for now. They also don\u2019t say how the priming mechanism works \u2014 and there\u2019s been no hint at its range or power. <\/p>\n
