Every Minecraft Nerf Blaster You Can Buy Right Now

Among the biggest franchises in gaming, Minecraft surprisingly goes hand in hand with Nerf blasters. With Hasbro adapting Mojang Studios’ most iconic weapons and creatures, these are some of the wildest guns you can take into a Nerf battle.

Now that the Minecraft movie is becoming bigger than ever — with screenings of a Block Party Edition announced following the film hitting $700 million at the box office — there’s never been a better time to show your appreciation for the legendary 3D world with a good blaster. We’ve gathered all of the Nerf Minecraft collaborations you can buy right now below to help get you started.

Minecraft Bow

Inspired by the bow used in Minecraft, this Bow Dart Blaster comes with authentic string-priming action. Made for accuracy, speed, and firing at a distance, your Nerf-wielding opponents will be wary once you start firing its compatible high-performance N1 darts.

  • The Bow blaster is also available at Amazon UK for £14.99.

Cave Spider

The Cave Spider Blaster stands out among the Minecraft Nerf range with its compact size, cool titular design, and quick-fire action. Perfect for fast-paced fun, it’s easy to load, prime, and shoot. Great for on-the-go battles outside or indoors, it’s a must-have collectable for Minecraft fans who want firepower in a mini package.

Chicken

While arguably not as fun as the Minecraft movie’s chicken jockey scene, this MicroShots blaster in the form of the chicken mob is hilarious and a joy to play with — courtesy of its compact size.

Although MicroShots blasters can only fire one dart at a time, this chicken-based weapon is easy to use and excellent for quick-draw Nerf battles.

  • The Chicken blaster is also available at Amazon UK for £19.99.

Elder Guardian & Ender Dragon Set

This Nerf MicroShots double-pack brings both Minecraft’s Ender Dragon and Elder Guardian in the same box to deliver you double the blaster firepower. Both compact and with an aesthetic as fearsome as the mob they’re designed after, these bring Minecraft’s fiercest bosses to life.

If you’ve got more than one Nerf warrior in your household, this $18.99 pack will give you two blasters at the best value.

  • The Ender Dragon & Elder Guardian blaster set is also available at Amazon UK for £37.19.

Ender Dragon

If it’s a full-sized Ender Dragon blaster you’re after, you can buy just that for just over $36 at Amazon. The most unique among the whole collection, Nerf took the meaning of a dragon literally — incorporating the mob’s wings, neck, and blaster barrel mouth to simulate firebreathing when launching a dart from its four-dart internal clip.

The wings aren’t just for show either. You can store an additional eight darts across both of the dragon’s wings, so you can take all 12 darts into the fight with you at once.

The Ender Dragon is also available at Amazon UK from £37.18.

Firebrand

The Firebrand axe, one of the most iconic weapons of Minecraft Dungeons, is in Nerf blaster form too; as you face opponents who think you’re wielding a mere melee weapon, you can take advantage using its hidden firepower. Not only does Firebrand with a three-dart capacity, but storage for an extra two as well.

That means when enemies think you’re out of ammo, you can reload for added relentless attacks.

  • The Firebrand blaster is also available at Amazon UK for £19.66.

Ghast

The Nerf version of Ghast brings Minecraft’s iconic ghast mob to life in a fun-sized, dart-firing blaster. Another MicroShots gun with single-shot action, this also comes modelled after the look of the ghast mob — making it perfect for display by collectors as well.

With 2 Nerf Elite darts included, you’ll be able to fire one shot and then quickly reload to hit your target in quick succession.

  • The Ghast blaster is also available at Amazon UK for £11.95.

Guardian

Fashioned after the pufferfish-esque mobs, the Guardian Minecraft Blaster is another signature weapon from Nerf’s MicroShots range. With a signature teal green body, it’s like your taking a Guardian right into the fray with you.

It may not be able to fire any laser beams like its namesake, but you’ll still get two mini-sized Nerf darts included in the pack.

  • The Guardian blaster is also available at Amazon UK for £12.99.

Heartstealer

Like Firebrand, this version of Minecraft’s Heartstealer Sword combines the look of its melee weapon inspiration with the power of a Nerf blaster. When you don’t feel like swinging this epic foam-blade around, you can easily use the pull-down priming handle to load the included Nerf Elite Darts and turn events into a long-range brawl.

  • The Heartstealer blaster is also available at Amazon UK for £19.79.

Pillager’s Crossbow

A stunning Nerf recreation of the Pillager’s Crossbow, this Nerf blaster demonstrates what it feels like to use a crossbow with its pullback priming lever — with amazing distance and accuracy to boot.

Able to fire six darts in a row, this is one of the largest capacities for a manual Minecraft Nerf blaster we’ve seen.

  • The Pillager’s Crossbow blaster is also available at Amazon UK for £29.94.

Sabrewing Motorized Bow

The Nerf Minecraft Sabrewing Bow takes Nerf weaponry to the next level up your arsenal with motorised blasting and real bow action. Inspired by the iconic in-game weapon, it fires 8 darts in a row using an 8-dart clip. With a slick design and hybrid feel, it’s perfect for fast-paced Minecraft-style battles inside the house or out.

  • The Sabrewing Motorized Bow blaster is also available at Amazon UK for £44.99.

Snow Golem

The Nerf MicroShots Minecraft Snow Golem Blaster brings frosty fun to your loadout with its cool Minecraft design and compact size. Inspired by the iconic snow golem mob, it’s easy to load and fire, making it a great pick for quick battles, display shelves, or any fan’s growing collection.

Created in the image of one of Minecraft’s most adorably terrifying passive mobs, the Snow Golem blaster is another affordable contender among the MicroShots collection.

Stormlander

The last of the signature blasters inspired by Minecraft Dungeons, getting Stormlander means you can also add a hammer to your arsenal of Nerf weaponry. As its name implies, you can storm into the action with this well-crafted recreation, pull back the priming handle, and press the firing button to launch your three Nerf Elite darts at your unsuspecting mark.

  • The Stormlander blaster is also available at Amazon UK for £25.19.

Dune: Awakening’s base building looks like a great way to spend some time ignoring that whole spice war thing

I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. So I can only imagine how absolutely, overwhelmingly irritating it could be on a planet like Arrakis, where a sandstorm could quite easily kill you. Or, I suppose I don’t have to imagine, as that’s something you can actually experience in Dune: Awakening. This is a video we’re talking about here though, meaning there are fixes for problems like these. Namely, base building, which Funcom showed off in a new video of the multiplayer game yesterday.

Despelote is a beautiful, “semi-autobiographical” football game set on the streets of Ecuador’s capital, and you can play it now

A frustrating thing I frequently find myself thinking about games is that they very rarely try to be more than what they are, at least when it comes to AAA ones (or any kind of game that has enough money for a full blown ad campaign). They’re just so often… games. No interest or desire to expand the medium. Luckily, there are people doing the work to rethink what games are, and today we now have Despelote, a “semi-autobiographical”, almost documentary-like game about playing football in Ecuador in 2001.

Everafter Falls 2.0 – A Year in Listening and Twisting

When Everafter Falls was released almost a year ago, we always knew that the game was going to be changing – what we didn’t know was how different it would look after talking with our players. Today, we released a new major content update, which went to some surprising places. Before talking about what’s new in the update, I think it is important to go back about a year and talk about the initial release of Everafter Falls. And just to introduce myself: I’m Joseph

Shockley, otherwise known as Riv Otter, the Community Manager for Akupara Games.

Everafter Falls is the first farming sim we ever released, and we saw feedback from a wide variety of players. To gather feedback, I opened a channel in the Everafter Falls Discord where people could discuss, suggest, and see the thoughts of what other players were after. I also kept an eye on the Steam forums and stayed active in them to show that we care about their feedback and that we will take it seriously. Because Everafter Falls was developed by just one developer, we knew that getting insight from players was going to be core to the game’s release.

Everafter screenshoit

Our first surprise came from the completionists in the community. They talked about how hard and frustrating it is to collect every item and raise every insect to finish out the journal. There wasn’t a way to improve your chances of finding what you needed, so the more players put hours into collection, the harder it became to clear out every last item. Some people were just getting super unlucky and failing to get that missing item after retrying for hundreds of times, and there wasn’t a way to improve those odds. As soon as we noticed the bottleneck this was creating for completionist players, it was clear we needed to add something to help. In the version 2.0 patch, there are two new items that should help completionists gather the last missing items they need:

  • The Golden Shroom Terrarium: a prize item and will give you a 100% chance to get a shroom you haven’t already gotten.
  • The Epic Critter Terrarium: lets you breed only insects you haven’t currently found.

Specifically, creating hard-to-craft late-game chase items that can help players fill out their collections was an easy way we could answer the call for this.

Everafter screenshoit

In Everafter Falls, players can decorate their farm and house with different ornamentation. We always knew that giving players purely cosmetic options for their farms would be helpful, but the community was so excited for all the different options they had to really express their creativity in their farm. Even positive feedback can be used as a guide to improve the game in a content patch, which is why, with positive feedback on the variety of decorations that Everafter Falls had, this content update added an abundance of new adornments, and we’ve already seen players adding them to their farm and house.

Everafter screenshoit

We received a ton of feedback, which I categorized as quality of life requests. Things that don’t directly affect the game but are nice to have for certain tasks, and can make the events more accessible for people. For example, there is an achievement in the game to craft every single item; however, at release, there was no way to keep track of which items you had crafted, making the achievement annoying to try to shoot for. In version 2.0, we remedied that by adding a blue star in the crafting menu for any item the player has crafted. No more Google Sheets or pen and paper tracking needed!

Everafter screenshoit

There are countless things I could talk about in this content update and how player feedback shaped the way this was developed. Learning how to take the feedback players give you and using them to guide a content update really scratches the itch that designers have to create engaging experiences with their games. I’m glad that I could help shape the course of the Everafter Falls 2.0 update, which is out now on Xbox!

You once had a serene and peaceful existence right here in Everafter Falls. Don’t you remember?

You wake up to discover your previous life was nothing but a simulation. You’ve no memory of this place, your quaint animal neighbors, the refreshing wind and fragrant flowers, the little farm you had tucked away just outside town, none of it. But once you spend a little time with your forgotten friends and your helpful pet, doesn’t Everafter Falls just feel perfect? Isn’t it where you always wanted to be?

Sure, you’ll need to farm, fish and fight your way back to prominence in the tiny, cozy town, but you know your way around a sword, right? You know how to water your farm and progress through the dungeons. You know how to upgrade your stats and beat back tougher and tougher enemies, don’t you? Just give those cards a good chomp and you’ll have everything you need!

Of course, if you need a little help, don’t worry! Automated drones can expand your inventory, tend to your harvest, and even help you fight. And your pet missed you more than anything while you were under. They’re here to help out around the farm, learning all sorts of neat things, like tilling your soil, watering your crops, and even teleporting you across the map. What? You’ve never heard of a teleporting cat before?

It’s Everafter Falls! Things are peaceful here. There’s nothing to worry about… right?

All Expired Project Egoist Codes

For now, there are no expired Project Egoist codes so make the most of the ones above before they’re gone for good!

How to Redeem Project Egoist Codes

Before you can use codes in Project Egoist, you’l need to join the community. You can do this by clicking on the name cool group for big cool people, who are the developers of the game in Roblox. Once you’ve done this, follow the steps below:

  1. Load up the Project Egoist Roblox experience
  2. Find the Codes button on the left side of the screen with a ticket icon
  3. Enter the code in the Redeem Here box
  4. Press Redeem and enjoy

Why Isn’t My Project Egoist Code Working?

Typically, when a code stops working, it’s just because it’s expired. However, plenty of codes for Roblox experiences are also case-sensitive so, it might be that you’ve typed it incorrectly. Whether a code has been entered incorrectly in Project Egoist, it’ll say “code invalid.”

To avoid using an incorrect code, we’d recommend copying them directly from this article and pasting them into the code box. We test them all before we add them to the article, so you can be certain that if it’s on here, it’s a valid code. Just be sure to check you haven’t added a sneaky extra space in there when copying it over.

How to Get More Project Egoist Codes

We are always on the lookout for more codes and keep our pages updated, so if you want to stay up to date with the latest Project Egoist codes, save this page! If you’re interested in hunting them down yourself, you can always pop over to the Project Egoist Discord Server.

Evil Dead: The Game is now, ironically, a literal dead game as its developer removes it from sale

You know, at this point I’m not sure if games, or even just aspects of games, that rely on licensing other works, is really all that good of an idea. It’s probably part of why there are some Fortnite skins you never see in the shop anymore, it’s absolutely why the Friday the 13th game shut down, and I have a hunch that that’s what has happened to Evil Dead: The Game. Recently, the multiplayer game disappeared from both the PlayStation Store and Epic Games Store, leading to a bit of confusion as to its status. Now, the game is no longer purchasable on Steam, and developer Saber Interactive have put out a comment addressing the situation.

Monopoly Go! Star Wars Crossover Brings Limited-Time Event to Players Today

Scopely has partnered with Disney for a Star Wars collaboration that brings characters and locations from across The Skywalker Saga and The Mandalorian to Monopoly Go!.

The two media giants detailed their crossover event further with a trailer this morning, explaining that Monopoly Go! players can unlock and enjoy Star Wars content for the next two months starting today. Scopely says the event is “rooted in a deep and compelling narrative” that follows local robot Peg-E after she visits Mr. Monopoly’s movie theater.

“Captivated by the cinematic magic of Star Wars, her daydreams take flight, reimagining the MONOPOLY GO! universe within the Star Wars galaxy,” an official description says. “In the ensuing adventure, players will be transported into timeless tales of good and evil, Jedi and Sith, and the light and dark side — kickstarting a series of action-packed in-game events, collectibles and surprises.”

With the Monopoly Go! Star Wars crossover comes a limited-time 22-sticker album that ties to the Star Wars universe. May the 4th, specifically, will see players gifted an exclusive token, with a variety of other themed additions available to nab throughout the duration of the collaboration. You can see a list of highlights included, as outlined by Scopely, below.

Monopoly Go! x Star Wars Crossover Event

  • ‘Pod’ and ‘Rebel’ Racers: Race iconic Star Wars vehicles through the Mos Espa Grand Arena and the frozen wasteland of Hoth in a twist on MONOPOLY GO!’s high-stakes multiplayer event, Tycoon Racers.
  • ‘Star Wars’, ‘Jedi’ and ‘Hyperspace’ Partners Events: Team up with friends to construct larger-than-life Star Wars-themed statues of iconic characters and starships from the Star Wars galaxy, and reap fantastic rewards together.
  • ‘Tatooine’, ‘Jawa’ and ‘Tusken’ Treasures: Journey to the Outer Rim planet Tatooine in three special dig-themed events, uncovering relics and treasures inspired by the Star Wars canon.
  • Exclusive Collectibles: Collect themed tokens, emojis, signature dice, and shields by completing sticker albums and event challenges, bringing galactic flair to the MONOPOLY GO! experience.

The launch of the Monopoly Go! and Star Wars crossover follows its official reveal as the latest Scopely collaboration last month. Its full debut today gives players until July 2 to enjoy what it has to offer. For more, you can read up on how Scopely made headlines in March when it confirmed it would purchase Pokémon Go-maker Niantic Inc. for $3.5 billion.

Ratopia is a city builder take on Terraria with, well, rats, and it just launched into 1.0 today

I really quite like how simple a title Ratopia has. It’s a 2D strategic survival city builder, where you have to build a nice place for rats to live. Ratopia! It gets straight to the heart of it, and it just received its 1.0 release today after an early access period of 18 months. The game has had a lengthy development time too, starting way back in 2020, and in a Steam post discussing the 1.0 release, developers Cassel Games left a nice and lengthy list covering everything that’s been added across its early access release.

Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?

Oh boycott.

The death of physical media has been looming for decades now, essentially since the internet made digital downloads a viable option for purchasing games – or purchasing your licences to play games. While Nintendo got involved relatively quickly (for Nintendo, at least) with WiiWare and Virtual Console digital downloads, there’s still always been a strong link between this particular platform holder and the physical article.

And it’s not just the need to provide stocking-fillers for parents and grandparents of a younger-skewing demographic; perhaps Nintendo’s general preference for carts is also a factor. Cartridges have a more substantial, chunky physicality compared to discs – and even when the company went for optical media, the GameCube’s cute 8cm discs and the curved edges of Wii U games injected some personality. Carts, with their unique forms and chip-filled innards, somehow feel more than just a blank medium with some data burned in. Just me?
