Closed bolt N2

[Super Nova]

Anyone else hear about this closed bolt for the N2? Just heard about it yesterday kinda wonder yall are thinking about it?

I'm not sure if there is any advantage to the N2 being closed bolt but I'm down with the ridiculous nature of their ideas. Depending on the price I might be interested.

I saw that post too. It looks like they finally have the N2 working correctly with their gen 2 internals which is open bolt, so I'm thinking the closed bolt version is just something else to mess with on the platform. Could be kind of cool and fun if it actually works...

Sounds like more paying customer 's development 😕

I actually just realized, it might be a bit of a dig at Meteor. Meteor dropped those pumps out of nowhere and sold out quickly, right around the time that Nova's sentinel pumps were having a rocky debut. The sentinel didn't sell nearly as well and they still have plenty in stock. Nova has plenty of reason to be salty at Meteor.

The new meteor Ghost that's being teased is right around the N2s price point, "high end mech". Biggest difference we know of so far is that it's closed bolt. Nova might be trying to just cover all it's bases to make sure they can offer a closed bolt high end mech too, and possibly siphon some sales off the Ghost.

The big question is IMO is going to be execution. The N2 has a wildly good trigger, and the gen 2 internals seem to have excellent paint handling (which I believed was the issue with the gen 1 internals) If they can carry both of those features over into the closed bolt internals its immediately a competitor to the Ghost. They'll almost definitely beat the Ghost to market too, since it's not due to release until the fall.

The big question is, especially with Nova, can they do it well, or is it going to be another good idea with sloppy execution? It did take them over a year fix the internals on the N2, and they've dropped the prices on the N2s significantly as well.

It's going to be super interesting to see how the two markers stack up next to each other when the Ghost finally does come out.

Giving me these vibes

You aren't wrong!

That being said, Nova's Gen 2 internals look absolutely crazy good, so meteor definitely shouldn't just ignore them completely.

My man! Thanks for the repost of my video!

Thank you Myrkul for the compliment and no we don't hold any animosity towards Meteor, hell we've spoken to those guys a few times, wish them all the luck. A little competition is good for both of us and really great for the end consumer. We know we aren't everyone's cup of tea and we get it, all we can do is just keep pushing forward. The N2 has come a long way for us and were still trying to find new and cool ways to modiify and upgrade the current models. New markers and launchers coming in the very near future looking forward to seeing a lot of you guys at the next big event.
