Details
Edit
It features one tactical rail on the priming slide. However, when the supplied barrel extension is attached to the blaster, there are two additional tactical rails; one on top and one below the barrel. It also has a clip point on the handle of the blaster for use with a strap or another carrying accessories, as well as room for a spare dart in the handle. At the end of the blaster and on the stock attachment area, there is a priming indicator.
History
Edit
The Retaliator is a direct successor to the Recon CS-6.
Value packs
Edit
The Retaliator (sans accessories) is included in the Rapid Strike Mission Kit, along with two eighteen dart clips and thirty-six darts.
Reloading and firing
Edit
To reload the Retaliator, move the priming slide back and press the clip release button to remove any empty clips from the blaster. Load up to twelve Elite Darts into the packaged clip. While holding down the clip release button, load the packaged clip into the blaster. Move the priming slide forward to prime the blaster and pull the trigger to fire a dart.

| Category | Score | Notes |
| Firing range | 10/10 | This blaster has a firing range of fifty to sixty feet flat. Attaching the barrel extension will drop ranges by about ten feet.[1] Only when the blaster is shot at an angle can it reach the claimed seventy-five feet. |
| Accuracy | 10/10 | This blaster has a medium spread occasionally, but the longer barrel (while reducing fire range slightly) eliminates this problem. |
| Reliability | 9/10 | The Retaliator mostly jams due to human error, though problems may occur in the clip in which the spring doesn't work properly, resulting in inability to fire darts. |
| Rate of fire | 10/10 | The blaster can shoot about one to two darts per second. |
| Capacity | 10/10 | This blaster can hold up to twelve darts with its included clip- twice as much as its predecessor. However, the Recon can actually hold more; it can hold a clip in its stock and a dart in the hole of the handle. |
| Final score | ||
| 9.7/10 | This is an extremely powerful blaster that exceeds its predecessor, despite its lack of accessories (by comparison). | |
Trivia
Edit

Added by Nerfmaster8- The Retaliator is the only blaster to feature the assault grip.
- The Retaliator, Stryfe, and the N-Strike Elite Rayven CS-18 are currently the only blasters in the N-Strike Elite series to be able to use barrel extensions. Despite this, it's the only N-Strike Elite blaster to include a barrel extension.
