Design and Quality
The Nerf Rival Hades XVIII -6000 is a sleek and stylish blaster with solid construction. The weapon is made of durable plastic and can be easily modified with rails and other attachments that can be attached to the blaster.
This blaster also features a unique pump-action system that allows for quick loading and firing of the darts, making it a great choice for those who prefer fast action. In addition, the rear grip feels good in your hand and gives you more control over this blaster. With its 60-round capacity, you’ll have plenty of ammo for battle.
Ergonomics
The ergonomics and overall design of the NERF Rival Hades are pretty exciting. The design, structure, and aesthetics are all geared toward providing the user with an exquisite blaster experience.
The Hades feels tremendous to hold, but that’s not all. The grip is very comfortable. Loading, firing, and ignition also work perfectly, and the weight is efficiently balanced when you hold it in your hand.
The efficiency of the Nerf Rival Hades
Overall, everything works normally, as it should. From the tactical rail to the trigger lock, similar to the other Rival blasters.
However, the Rival Hades is a huge Nerf blaster; it may even be bigger than any other blaster you know. Therefore, there may be better options for smaller kids.
Slam Fire
The Rival Hades has a single fire and a slam fire feature. Like many other Nerf blasters, the Rival Hades is a spring-powered pump-action blaster and belongs to the Phantom Corps category.
The Hades can hold about 60 rounds with its built-in magazine. It has almost the same shape, size, and features as the Rival Artemis.
For those who know how it works, it is usually considered a medium or large weapon. You would be familiarised with the NERF Rival Hades from this well-harnessed review.

One of the most important improvements to the Rival Hades is the increased magazine capacity. Unlike the Artemis, which has a 30-round magazine, the Rival Hades brings it up to 60 rounds.
Yes, you heard me right! A 60-round magazine! The internal magazine consists of three different magazines that look like tubes. Each of these magazines holds 20 rounds, for a total of 60 rounds.
One reason Hades is so big and heavy is because of the increased magazine capacity. The magazines in the Nerf Hades are all non-removable long tubes.
Opening the Hades magazines
On the top of the blaster is a slide that allows you to load the magazines. Slide this slider to gain access to the aftershock.
You will need to load each of the three magazine tubes individually. Loading should be easy but may take some time given the size of the blaster and the magazine capacity.
Lower-capacity blasters are easier to load than higher-capacity ones. It should be, especially considering that these other NERF blasters only have one magazine.
Loading can take some time, but it’s always worth it when you are done.
Firing
Firing is the real thrill of the Nerf Rival Battles, although the firing performance always depends on the specification of the NERF blaster.
With that in mind, it’s good to know that the NERF Rival Hades will always give you one of the best shooting experiences. Igniting and shooting with the Rival Hades is an exhilarating experience.
Priming
The priming handle is usually locked into position as soon as you prime, waiting for you to pull the firing trigger and shoot.
With the help of the nerf rival Phantom Corps Hades’ xviii 6000 blasters, priming is fun. The process is usually smooth and enjoyable, whether in a single mode or a slam fire mode.
Weapons blocking
In case your nerf gun jams, Hades is there for you. It has an unlock button on the side. With this button, you can unlock the handle, which will trigger the ignition if there is a problem with the jam.
If it makes you feel any better, jams are usually very rare. If you are smart with your Nerf guns, you’ll never have that problem with the Nerf Rival Hades.
Rotating barrels
There are also 4 smaller rotating barrels in the muzzle on the front of the blaster. These barrels will rotate every time you arm the gun.
This rotation helps you pull out the next round of magazines during rivalry rounds. This process makes for a smooth shooting experience, which is why you never experience jammed loads.
It’s good to know that of the four barrels, only one fires cartridges, namely the bottom barrel.
The others are there for aesthetic effect. Even though the other three barrels have no function, it is interesting to see how the barrels rotate when firing.
Firing speed
Unlike the rival Nemesis, the firing rate of the rival Hades is not that high. Some may fault Hades for its rate of fire, but it’s still fine if you ask me.
That’s because its accuracy makes up for its speed on the range, hitting the farthest targets with precision.
Plus, the speed is still quite high compared to most non-Rival nerf blasters, and you can compete with it quite efficiently.
