- Mod guide for the Nerf Rival Kronos: The default rival springer secondary.
This is my new favorite Rival springer -- and for good reason! Even With the stock spring, its holsterablility has no equal in the HIR platform. I expect many more mods for this blaster coming soon.
Thanks to Captain Xavier for the initial exploration of this blaster!

Missed opportunity to say *”hi, I’m out of darts, but you might still have a few”*
instablaster
Just got my spring the other day, took me maybe 10 minutes to disassemble, upgrade, and reassemble thanks to this video. Word of warning, this makes it even more difficult to pull the slide back, if you don't have good grip strength you may want to avoid this mod, my gf can't even pull it back at all anymore(shouldn't be a problem for those of us who are just kids at heart and not body). But I must say, wow, the power increase is pretty incredible. Far better than I expected. I put some petroleum jelly on the o-ring to get a little better seal and the gun shoots so fast now that i couldn't possibly want anymore in fear i might break something or really hurt someone. The nerf balls fly across my house seemingly instantly(~50ft from one end to the other, going over 130fps, there is pretty much no time to react), could easily take out someones eye by accident, even from just a ricochet. Fucking sick, I love it.
@Not Pancake YT surprisingly no issues at all, still the exact same as it was. Still takes a ton of force to pull back. I expected some parts to break with just how much extra force this thing puts on the gun but I gotta give it to nerf, they really over engineered this one
You've convinced me
@@YarshNBDP I've got 2 springs coming in for mine and I wanted to ask you how/why the petroleum jelly improves it and how/how much you applied it. I want it to be mean like yours haha
Dude, that 3-D printer is working in the background!!!
I ordered a Kronos and a k25 from your website a couple months. To my surprise, this was a really easy and effective mod, even for an 11 year as myself. Now my Kronos averages a speed of 120-125 FPS. For kids under 14, I would recommend a K25 spring cause a k26 would be a little too hard to prime, and would therefore be impractical to use in a Nerf war. I highly recommend this mod from out of darts.
Thanks for your feedback! It's always good to see people grow into the hobby.
How do 11 yr olds have good English this is not real
@@ozhuenlxbouginsrirluhnbrtw2266 you have worse English than them
Thank you! I was not modifying a gun, but my son took his sister's gun apart to get a non nerf ball out that had jammed it up. So I was brought the pieces (which were amazingly all present) and asked to get it back together. This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Absolutely lovely tutorial and I've seen quite a few for the Kronos at this point. Exceptional lighting, clean presentation, and well spoken. Well done sir! Looking forward to seeing more.
@Outof Darts
I’m about to mod/paint one of these and this quick video has helped me plan out my build so much! I paused and screenshot a ton of images from this to use as reference. I couldn’t be more appreciative. Thanks!
My parcel arrived yesterday morning with your pre-cut K26 and my Rayven parts, I'm looking forward to installing the spring, it seems like a pretty simple mod, so shouldn't take too long,.
Thanks Luke, you're an absolute diamond.
Straight to the point, concise, informative and simple. Love this video man. You just earned yourself a subscriber :)
I bought the Kronos spring from OOD and upgraded my broken Kronos. I watched this video and was able to mod my first blaster. I felt so accomplished! Thank you Luke for this video!
Thank you! Just got my upgraded spring today and swapped it out, it’s a lot more powerful now!
Yes!! Definitely like seeing mod-guides from you. Your setup is just really nice and I love the shout outs to Captain X and Nerf Curator
just received my k26 in the mail. thank you so much. i cant wait to install it in my blasters
I just bought 2 k25 springs the easier one to prime cannot wait to try them out - Love the content OutofDarts keep up the great work !
I dropped you and your Etsy store a mention in the "show more" section in my review of the Kronos, for the K26 upgrade spring you sell.
It's a great blaster and I look forward to modding mine at some point when I get the K26 for it.
You do a great service in cutting the spring to the right length and removing all the sharp ends for the Kronos, saving us who don't have the special tools to do it for ourselves.
Thanks Luke for the great videos, store and service you offer, you have a great selection, I'm spoiled for choice, I may have to get some Hammershot cylinders from you as well!
Any time, I love your Etsy store, need the money to make a pretty big order though!
Ordered the spring off of etsy after watching this video, thanks for the extremely quick shipping and thanks most of all for turning the kronos into a hand cannon lol. Priming is definitely more difficult, but that is to be expected from such a strong spring.
bought a spring off your shop because of this video. about to try the mod!
I ordered your spring before I even had my Kronos 😂…the spring arrives on Tuesday and I can’t wait to drop it in
Amazing mod guide. Good lighting and easy to see What you are doing to the blaster
I bought a spring from u and completed my first mod using this video. Thanks!
Thank you for this video, I'll be buying the part soon and I'll definitely buy from your shop!!
Top notch mod guide! Well done! You should do mod guides for all sorts of blasters, I think that would be really helpful. (Not just Rival)
Awesome!
Thing is, he's out of darts.
Thank you for this!
Just ordered 2 of these from your store!
Dude great video, just modded mine today w a spring purchased at ace, that sucker crumples soda cans now. Very easy to do thanks to your instruction!
Congrats on 100 videos!
Hey Out Of Darts i just bought the K26 and K25 springs from your store to see which one I could handle but anyways thank you for the awesome tutorial
Mr. Out of darts, it's funny you just posted this video I just got this blaster and ordered the K26 from you today.
Well congratulations for your 100th video just noticied after watching for the third time... Wish you many more subs ...Happy to be here from the 18th video
So hard to pull back, shoots as hard and a paint ball gun just foam balls. Thank you so much man.
Typo I meant to say as hard as a paintball gun.
I've bought your k26 mod kit and just installed it on my Kronos, amazing video and Jesus Christ it has turned the Kronos into the most powerful Nerf gun I've ever had, incredible kit and I'm very grateful thank you.
your k25 works like a dream keep up the good work
definitely would love to see the Hera & Mosfet tutorials keep up the good work brother! ;)
I just ordered the K25, T handle, and ghost door. I’m excited.
Ahhh I love your quality my man. I hope to have my set up like this asap
Fantastic composition. Very artfully done.
I ordered two of your easy prime springs for the Kronos. I'm planning to disassemble and upgrade both of my Kronos', as well as paint them. I couldn't think of a better way to do a minor upgrade than replacing the springs they've had since I bought them both. One definitely shoots harder than the other, this should equalize them. Then, the paint should make them truly amazing.
Thanks for this simple and easy to understand tutorial. Mine ball pusher sometimes jams and I can't wait to crack mine open and see if I can fix it now
The old upside down plunger tube 🤪 Thanks I was stumped.
Thank you for making a clear and informative walk through for this mod. Can't wait to crack open my two! :)
When I got my Kronos I thought is was you know just gonna shoot a few feet like yknow standard elite range. Oh how wrong I was. Why even mod it is fires as far as the regular rival blasters
I have an elite pistol that goes that goes from one end of the house to the other (at least 60ft). the Kronos should go at least as far as it, right?
My name's not important much farther
My name's not important, I mode mine with a 12 kg spring, and it shoots 120 easy with a angle, flat about 90.
I must’ve been tired while typing this out
just ordered one too ...cant wait to mod it !!! thx
Thank you for this video! i sub and picked the bell. keep up the good videos!
wouldn't let me review the 3.7 k25 spring on the etsy shop so i will here. fast shipping, easy install, works great. Girlfriend won't be too happy to get hit by this!
I just finished the first of the Kronos with the easy prime springs (K25?) I ordered from you and just ...WoW! Usually just my Prometheus makes me laugh when I fire it. First time I ever modded any blaster and I'm giggling my ass off at the power and accuracy of this Kronos! It's a damn zamby killa! Gotta go upgrade the other Kronos and then get that K26 up in my Hades.
Thanks so much for this great mod guide!
1:50 y'know, that's the first time I've seen a nerf video mention eye protection, which is funny because just today I got whacked in the eye by a flying piece of plastic I had just nipped off a sledgefire. Gotta love the irony.
We try to remember mentioning eye-pro during every mod that requires them (almost every mod). Depending on the FPS cap, you *could* get away without eye protection at games, but it doesn't mean that you *should.*
i thaught you would do this. LOVE UR CHANNNEL!!
Welp, I modded it, it was impossible to prime, opened it up to try to put the original spring back in, and lost the trigger spring..
Nevermind i found it
But does it now prime?
Glad ya found it but darn it sucks when ya lose something that nobod6 sells
unlucky
I used this video to fix a jam and i love it 😍
Great video, thx man.
UGGGGHHHH I've been waiting for the Kronos for so longgggg
I wish, I live in Australia gotta wait for someone to import them and put them on ebay lol. I have been buying Headshot ammo from your store :)
I already ordered a cut spring from you, and yeah, it now stings a little when you get hit. Thank you for giving me the main internal part to transform it into the Rival Desna. Now it just needs cosmetic work.
I also re-inserted the plunger rod upside-down initially, so yeah...
JUST ORDERED ONE!! THANK YOU!!!!

What is the web site to order
Xuemei Ou out of darts for spring
SAVAGE the Pirate amazon
I upgraded one with a new spring and it has insane power i used a mower spring from the hardware store and it worked amazing
I’d really like to see your take on MrHeathpants’ return spring mod to the Kronos. If you could make that modification readily available, that would be terrific! The return spring mod is something that Kronos needs!
upvote this
The biggest problem with a return spring mod on the kronos is that it would make it harder to reload, it has to be primed back to give access to the internal mag
So for those talking about Heath's mod making it hard to reload, he did add a steel reinforced mechanism to hold the slide forward while reloading.
I plan on doing one myself in the following fashion.
Epoxy upright "nipples" on both the inside of the front plate and the mag chamber the same length as whatever decompressed tension springs you're using. Add said springs to both sides.
Then in the removed safety lock hole, add a piston of some sort attached to a steel/reinforced bar that's long enough to block the slide while primed.
Then reload, push that bar down, slide lurches forward, ready to go.
Perreault Gamez hardware store
Outof Darts im late, but what about if you add a slide lock like on a real steel 1911? So you pull back the slide and push up the lever with your thumb and it keeps the slide back.
Muchas gracias por tu video, desde nuevo no pudo utilizarla y como fue regalo no podía aplicar la garantía, pero gracias ti ya la reparé, muchas gracias por todo!!
If you get a chance look up the physics behind the Tippmann A5 Flatline Barrel on paintballs. The Kronos works the same way. There is a notch on the top side of the barrel about an inch inside. It's easy to feel, just put your finger in the barrel and you can feel it. What this does is as the ball exits the chamber it creates an upwards spin on the ball. This is effective upto a certain range, and what it does is makes the ball fly straight up to a certain range. After that if the spin still exists and the momentum is still present (which is what happens with higher tension springs being in) it'll zing off to a random side based on which way the axis of that spin will rotate, left, right etc. This is based on the balance of each individual Nerf ball. Some will balance to rotate one way or another, but the same ball will also zing off in a random direction. So, if the balance of the ball is more towards one side one of the two 360 degree access, there is no way of controlling which way that ball will be facing when it reaches the notch to generate that backwards spin that will make it go straight. So, it is advantageous to have a higher speed, which will get the ball to go further and be accurate... but where with the normal spring the ball will just start curving down, with the higher tension of spring, the chance to arc will be reduced to an accurate degree. Well... that's the physics part of it anyways, how it actually reacts can vary.
they corkscrew off when the friction from the air is greater than the force of the spin that generates the lift effect. the molds for the standard darts are not symmetrical so eventually the ridges along the seam drag and change the angle of the rotation, causing a change in the lift vector and it changes direction. if you fire the kronos sideways you lose that extra range from the magnus effect but instead you can shoot around corners :p
Amp-Hibious good explanation but maybe if you hold it at an angle it wouldn’t have a violent curve that you get at shooting it sideways or straight
So what would happen if you sand off that little notch?
Daym that's alot
@@BLNKT. you can just take it out it's it's own plastic piece that is seperate from the barrel
Thanks! It was super easy!
Why the hell am I watching this?
Shhh. Just watch.
So, I'm not the only one thinking this. lol
Haha I agree 🤣
because 69
I don't even have a Kronos, or even mod a nerf blaster
While she's wide open trim that trigger spring post a 1/8th inch and polish/shape the release ramp it really crisps up the trigger pull
Definitely found my first nerf mod
Wow very video return spring, thank you for sharing
This was really helpful!
Great guide thanks
Finally a mod guide!!!
With the K26 in there it's a monster to prime, most of the balls went sailing over the 6' high fence in my 50' long garden. the hop-up makes them sail right over the fence with level shots. I'll have to print a T-Priming handle or another kind of priming grip as it just slips in my hand when priming sometimes because of the lack of grippy surfaces on the Kronos.
Thanks for the help
I ordered springs from you OutofDarts thank you for this mod video. It is very easy to follow. Can you please get your hands on a Starwars Captain Cassian deluxe blaster and do a MOSFET mod video in the future :D Thank for your videos and passion for Nerf..!
an important note: The piece you refer to as an optional safety is not part of the safety switch on the side. Rather, it's the lock that prevents pulling the trigger while the blaster is half-primed. I recommend leaving this in so you don't accidentally pull the trigger and have the breech slam close on your fingers while loading.
Very crisp mod guide! I hadnt even considered curving the spring in that manner before cutting before.
Seen some people being able to double load the Kronos for a shotgun 2 ball effect by fidgeting at the back of the slide possibility of making it more intuitive for a "Double whammy"?
Would you consider doing an exploded view of all the internals?
That orange circle infront of the trigger how essential is it for the internals, removable?
O2D I got my new spring and holy smokes. Scary! Any chance that spring is going to wear out the OEM parts?
Yay love it got your spring and can’t wait to mod it. I have a question, are the front internals (barrel, internal mag) in one piece when it comes out of the frame?
is there a way to make the safety easier to release with the thumb of your shooting hand? I have to use my other hand because it is so damn hard to push up!
Love this! So simple and clear. Thanks for the mod!
Interesting. I used a section of k25 the same length as the original spring and get an average of 140 fps now. It was incredibly annoying to precompress but once it went back together it functioned flawlessly.
I can second this. I saw very similar performance to the k26 I had previously installed. I found the k25 a bit smoother on the prime as well. K25 also gives a lot more room for fine tuning by the user due to the extra length. It's easy to find a balance between performance and prime difficulty just by removing a bit at a time.
I haven't had any issues with accuracy. the only difference i've noticed is at a higher fps, the rival balls sort of "jump" upwards at the end of their range before dropping down.
Thanks for the k25 tip. I was having trouble priming with k26, but no trouble with k25. It's just that little bit lighter to compress but still a great improvement. I am getting 110fps average with k25, and 80fps at best with the stock spring.
dkdavid721 decompressing springs is so anoyinng it hurt my fingers and everything, like the long shot to take of the plunder head omg
That was great good job
Great vid, I'll be hitting you up for those custom flat end springs when they are available!
Thanks so much!!!
You're welcome!
I have two, I’m thinking of nodding them and duel wielding them by drilling out a hole in the back “rails” and tying the priming bar to a vest
I just subscribed lol. I bought this gun today
Thanks, I followed your tutorial and it Worked very well, I'm in Mexico so I ordered the spring from amazon.
I want to mod my takedown to, do you know if the spring measure is the same as the Kronos?
Kind Regards.
I've been trying to figure out which parts are the lock/dejammer (so you can hold down the trigger and deprime it without a round in it). Any way you could post a quick video on that part?
@outofdarts, can I ask what size bolt cutters you recommend as a minimum?
Hey Out of Darts, can I possibly commision a dual Kronos or Artemax for my nerf war loadout?
I'm sure that higher tension springs can also wear the mechanisms of the gun faster. I think if you want faster shots that are accurate, you're going to need a heavier projectile.
thx for the help. :)
are there custom bullets you can buy to push the fps even higher?
Hmm should I add a k26 to my dual wield mod?? I'm torn if I want to have the extra tension on the pull back
Question: would adding a turn or two of teflon tape under the o-ring seal the blaster enough to increase performance without causing the rivals rounds to spin out?
Any word on when springs will be back in stock again? Thanx!
Subbed. Hi I'm in to modifying Rival guns. Will mod shorten the life of the gun/blaster? Also, what the differences between 14KGS, 18KGS and K26 Coils?
You say k26 spring but link says k25, k25 seems firmer then stock but following your guide line i cut it to the size of the stock spring as it stuck out past the hook... is this wrong? Thanks
Does the kronos have a lock preventing you from double priming it? (once you prime it does the slide lock)
It would be cool to have another vid of just firing it off at targets of different distances
now I can cosplay with my deadpool guns rendering them incapable of firing.
When is the nemesis mod I would really like to do it to mine
I want to purchase a pre-cutted k26 spring for Helios. It suppose to be one coil longer than the stock spring. So u have that product?
Didn’t realize how niche this was
Will you be making pre-cut springs for other rival blasters? I'm looking for a decent spring for my Artemis.
Great!
what spring length do you think will be good for the , Prometheus i think, the upgraded Artemis
Awesome vid! However when I went to order two, the cost of shipping was more than the springs. Any way shipping can be discounted? Im in Australia. Thanks
I think blastertech sells a Kronos k26
At 5:38, you showed the cocking mechanism to stop it for half/full primed. How does it disengage since i dont see it connected/related to other parts of the trigger. Am having trouble wth my unit and found out that the cocking part stops the gun from firing
