Wow I should buy more of these!

Should be noted that Hasbro literally had me ship my warden back to them so they could R&D it. I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

For the price of a Warden, buy two Fang QS-4s and duct tape them together. Hand held shotgun custardy goodness. Or blue goodness.

The warden is the optimal blaster for roleplaying Reaper from Overwatch. Since you throw them away to reload, the warden goes exactly where it belongs: in the trash.

The sharp front of the Warden is a design feature. You're supposed to use it as a melee.

You can say the warden is giving you a rough cut.

Why mine always double shot?

Since Minecraft and Nerf are now together, they should make a Warden Warden.

Maybe they should call it Elite 0.2

I know this perspective is based on location/availability, but my biggest problem with Elite 2.0 isn't even the quality, because that ship has long sailed; it's simply that they offer nothing new for far too much money vs. thrift store originals. I know we can't all run out and grab $2 Roughcuts, but, I don't know if anything really justifies buying Elite 2.0 off the shelf. The Turbine is at least compelling, but I can't bring myself to experiment with my wallet even that much.

The rail tooth is a cheaper version than what I've seen on most stuff - they stopped putting the spring under them at some point, but having it just be part of the shell is a step beyond, wow.

Hasbro tends to fix genuinely flawed models that break too quickly. They fixed the Apollo to have metal gears and an unjamming switch, since somehow jamming it was a disaster waiting to happen.

The Warden has tasted blood and now craves more, the only way to defend yourself …

Definition for nerf warden:

It wouldn't surprise me if Hasbro made changes mid-production run to fix the Warden.

At least the thing works now, but that QC is still unacceptable for the "#1 Blaster Brand". The only Elite 2.0 blaster I'm remotely interested in is the Eaglepoint, and I'm even on the fence about that.

Warden: 90% chance of complete trash.

these are totally just designed with the same quality and tactics as the alpha strike line but with a premium price. Aside from the piss poor quality I honestly thought this whole line was ugly. I hated the colors and the redesigns of virtually every blaster.

"Elite 2.0 is pretty well and tight... Solvent shut"

I guess I've been a Mechanic all my life. I would take my toys apart, oil them to make things work better, sand off sharp edges and put them back together, then the neighbors would want me to work on their toys after they borrowed mine. My planes would fly farther or do tricks, like loops, or barrel rolls, because I cut and modified the stabilators, flaps, and ailerons to make them functional. That's a major reason for me getting into this hobby. There's a good deal of reward in fixing broken toy and returning it to it's grateful owner. I like the styling and details of all Elite2.0(or 2.N0!, whichever you prefer.). And, was especially attracted to the more edgy, blocky styling of the Elite2.0 Warden. Now you Sir have made me want to buy this blaster, realizing full well Nerf's intent was to make another 'Maverick' that could occupy store shelves for the few years becoming a little cashcow.
