Details[]
The Rampage is a pump-action clip system blaster. Clips and drums load into the blaster horizontally. This can block the user's view if they are right-handed. The blaster is able to be slam fired and has a rifled barrel. It is compatible with detachable shoulder stocks, despite not coming packaged with one. On the end of the shoulder stock attachment point is a priming indicator, which turns orange when the blaster is primed. A single dart can be stored in the blaster's grip.
It features two tactical rails on top of the blaster, as well as a strap point built into its trigger grip.
Using an eighteen dart clip may cause some discomfort, due to the way clips are horizontally fed into the blaster.

History[]
The Rampage is a direct successor to the 2009 N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS-35.
Early mock-ups of the blaster[2] included a tactical rail shield that would have been much like the Blast Shield or the Nitron shield. The idea was dropped due to unknown reasons.
In 2014, a clear blue Rampage was released under the Sonic ICE series.
In 2015, a variant was released with Elite XD range claims, and featured a color scheme very similar to the original blaster, with notably fewer paint operations.
In 2019, the Rampage was re-released with a white color scheme, a Retaliator shoulder stock, and an eighteen dart clip instead of a twenty-five dart drum.
Color schemes[]
The Rampage has been released with the following color schemes:
- N-Strike Elite (blue, white, black, gray and orange)
- N-Strike Elite running change "economy" variant / Elite XD (blue, white, black, gray and orange; sports considerably fewer paint operations; the included twenty-five dart drum is also subject to similar changes)
- Sonic ICE (clear blue, gray and orange)
Value packs[]
It was offered in a special value pack including the Rampage itself, the twenty-five dart drum, an extra N-Strike Elite eighteen dart clip, and forty-three Elite Darts.
Trivia[]
- In the Rampage's teaser video, the Rampage is equipped with a Lightningstorm shoulder stock. This is visible in certain close-up shots of the blaster.
- In the Rampage's instruction manual picture, the blaster in the instructional images is labeled as the Raider CS-35.
- The differences between the standard and Elite XD variants can be easily told apart from the packaging. The original version depicts an older model, while the newer version features a younger model. The blaster depicted on the original version's packaging sports prototype colors, whereas the "economy" version's packaging depicts a blaster sporting a deco with varying degrees of accuracy to the actual product.[3]
- When a drum is loaded into the Rampage, it can double as a shield to prevent getting hit from dart fire.
- The Rampage is the first N-Strike Elite blaster to come with a twenty-five dart drum.
