Hasbro is hitting 2022 with blasters blazing in the Rival and Elite 2.0 lineups! The Rival blasters are especially interesting as they are the first to utilize Nerf Rival Accu-Rounds, which are described as being “the most accurate Rival rounds ever”.

More specifically, the Accu-Rounds feature “improved aerodynamic design and dimple patten to provide more consistent flight”. The rounds can be used with any Rival blaster, but the new releases take the accuracy up a notch with an adjustable rear sight and an optimized barrel. They also look pretty fantastic if you ask us. A breakdown of the new Rival blasters can be found below:
