Event Calendar Updates: Humans v Zombies Everywhere!

Dart Zone Max Volcanic Pro Review
September 28, 2025With Dart Zone’s mass announcement/release of blasters behind us, it’s time to use some of these blasters in combat and judge them. First up is the Volcanic Pro.
It’s pricey (and web exclusive) at $55, but after going through both my hands and those of several other players at a war, I’d say it’s the most exciting addition to the fall lineup. It simply goes harder than other main-brand blasters of its size, and I hope a physical store carries them soon.
Small Update: Modding the Dart Zone Primus for Short Darts!
September 26, 2025It’s a small update – I’ve been busy with labs and exams for school. But I did get the new Dart Zone blasters in…and I’m already whipping up parts.
The Dart Zone Primus is currently only on Dart Zone’s website for $50, but it’s really neat so far. Mechanically, it’s a Dart Zone Pro Mk3 for long darts – sadly, due to size constraints, the pusher system had to shrink a bit, so the pusher no longer supports both long and short darts. To that end, I’ve remixed Haphazardlynamed’s Mk3 pusher to make it work here, and I made an extended version so that short darts (but only short darts) can be used. At the very least, it means I have a high rate of fire, low fps option for low fps Humans v Zombies games.
It’s shared under the same license, so it can be printed, remixed, or even sold as long as Attribution is given.
As for the flywheel cage, it uses Stryfe mounting points. Since you don’t need a dart guide, though, try printing or buying a Worker Dominator-compatible cage.
Freerunner V2 by Chance Review
September 21, 2025As I noted in my Excalibur review, it’s refreshing that I finally have the time (and game attendance) to make and review community-designed blasters again. This time, for the HvZ experience, I ordered a Freerunner V2 hardware kit from Out of Darts and printed the files at home. I excitedly printed all the parts…and then they sat there until the day before a game.
Lucky for me, assembly was easy, and my game experience was nothing short of amazing. If you’re looking for an easy, reliable flywheel blaster, the Freerunner V2 is worth a look (as are the related blasters designed by Chance).
Dart Zone Unloads for Fall…But at What Cost?
September 19, 2025Yesterday was a big day: Dart Zone had just started fulfilling Primus orders, and then they dropped the news on social media: a bunch of new blasters were going to be available from them directly, ranging from a brand new pro blaster to a repainted classic. However, the news also brought price tags, and it begs the question: how much is a blaster worth to you?
Dart Zone Vector Pro Makes a Splash!
September 13, 2025Another year, and another *somewhat* surprise announcement from Dart Zone. Relative parity between their Walmart and Target offerings is expected (Nexus Pro v. Stryker, for just one example), so a Maxim Pro equivalent was to be expected. The format, however, was not.
The Vector Pro is a 150fps, bullpup-format blaster taking regular magazines. And it’s appearing right as Dart Zone magazines are hitting shelves, as well…
Buzz Bee Air Warriors Lightning Strike Review
September 12, 2025This blaster was a bit of a surprise! We saw it for the first time on a Reddit post, but now it looks like it’s hitting shelves in the US at Dollar General.
The Lightning Strike isn’t anything special in terms of being a blaster. In fact, I think it’s oriented towards the gimmick more than the dart blasting. But that’s what makes a blaster like this a cute impulse buy, after all.
