Details
Edit
The Scout uses a cocking slide system exactly the same as the Maverick REV-6, yet loads from the muzzle like a Nite Finder EX-3 or Element EX-6.
The Scout features an integrated tactical rail and storage for two extra darts. A button on the slide enables the blaster to be fired by a button on the Titan AS-V.1 when connected as part of the Unity Power System.
HistoryEdit
The Scout was one of the first blasters to be released under the N-Strike series. It first came packaged in the Unity Power System, as well as a re-release of the Tech Target Set. It was later replaced in the Tech Target Set by the Reflex IX-1. It was later re-released as a single and double pack in 2011 with the N-Strike color scheme.
Color schemesEdit
The Scout has been released with the following color schemes:
- Original (Tech Target Set) (blue/green/silver)
- Unity Power System (grey/red/black)
- Blue/gray/orange
- N-Strike (yellow/black/orange)
Reloading and firingEdit
To reload the Scout, load a dart into the muzzle. Pull the slide on top back and then pull the trigger to fire a dart.

| Category | Score | Notes |
| Firing range | 7/10 | The Scout reaches ranges of up to thirty feet. |
| Accuracy | 9/10 | It hits its target most of the time. |
| Reliability | 10/10 | It is impossible for the Scout IX-3 to jam, although this blaster can have some problems with the secret button for use with the Unity Power System. |
| Rate of fire | 3/10 | One dart can be fired about every two seconds. |
| Capacity | 6/10 | It holds three darts, one dart in firing position and two others in storage holes under the barrel. |
| Final score | ||
| 7.6/10 | The Scout IX-3 is a simple blaster. It performs amazing in range and accuracy, for being a single-shot blaster. Its downsides are its slow rate of fire and capacity. It is a great side-arm. | |
TriviaEdit

- In the Unity Power System , the Scout comes with Suction Darts, but the N-Strike pack comes with Whister Darts.
- This was one of the first, if not the first blaster to utilize the reverse plunger system.
