REVIEW: Worker Phoenix 2 0 (A Flywheeler Reborn)

Earlier this year we reviewed the Worker Phoenix -- a bulky triple-stage short dart micro flywheeler. It was good for what it was, and despite its quirks, it was an easy blaster to recommend. Then in the fall Worker teased the latest version, with a Swift-style aesthetic, an included stock... and the option to give the blaster a brain.
After getting it in hand, the ergonomics are much improved, the stock is comfortable, and the build quality for an injection-molded blaster is second-to-none. I can't wait to take it out on the field in the new year and run it through its paces!

What do you think? Will you be picking up a Phoenix 2.0? Let us know down below! We're closed today and tomorrow so our hardworking team can spend time with family. We will resume shipping on Monday the 27th. Happy Holidays to you and your own!

OUT OF DARTS can u see if worker can make a costume flywheel aeon pro if so plz tell me how much it is and if not if there's a blaster tat look close to a aeon pro

@sedrixZombies 2 года назад

Or if you can

@TytonidaeIndustries 2 года назад

There are two things, money disregarded, that are preventing me from picking this up, the mags, i have a bunch of straight talons and while the angled ones this needs is not a huge issue i would prefer to be able to use the tachi with it, considering the rate of fire Second is simply waiting for the board to be available for it

@nobility5340 2 года назад

Great review. I own an OG Phoenix and I have much better success getting tags in games than I do with a MK3 + 3S LiPo. I am very much looking forward to the Selector version of the Phoenix 2.0.

There's something about the form factor that just makes these blasters snappy.

At 11:20 I think the stock I meant to hold a extra battery if the one in the blaster runs out. It wouldn’t make sense to run the wire all the way through the stock

@mdfind 2 года назад

And the hits just keep on coming. I love these blaster reviews. Have you seen the bearing scar that Bradley Phillips tested recently? It seems as if it could be used with fly wheelers unlike it's stringed counterpart. Tighter grouping too.

@outofdarts 2 года назад

We have! Though we haven't gotten our hands on one to do our own tests.

Two notes: 1. I LOVE the sound of the rev. I don’t know why it just sounds really cool 2. Kuryaka has dual-stage Pulsar cages for the Phoenix 1.0. I don’t know if it works with the 2.0, but I would have to guess it does

@rabbitrampage 2 года назад

Nearly choked when I saw this was uploaded, been dieing for a review of this blaster

@digitalben420 2 года назад

It LOOKS very cool! Still, can’t comprehend 6 motors at 150fps…seems so pointless unless you are trying to achieve 250+ fps. It really feels like a way for them to mark up the price to the community, for no other reason but their own gain. They could have easily put in a single stage out of the box that could hit 150fps, and then sell us “upgrades” in terms of extended cages and wheels etc. Because we all know we would change motors first thing. But I digress. Edit: Awesome review Luke, as always! Thank you so much!

@outofdarts 2 года назад

Agreed. I attempted to get Worker to sell me empty shells...but no luck.

@RiverWilliamson 2 года назад

I wonder if the performance is just as good of you remove the 3rd stage

@digitalben420 2 года назад

@@RiverWilliamson I can almost guarantee, yes. I bet single stage krakens with some Keplers would hit 160s no problem. If it doesn’t, then the cage is trash from jump street and should be replaced 🤣

@KingHanma 2 года назад

Bought 2*2200 3S batteries and alarms from your store for this blaster which I have in grey and orange. Just got the blasters in the mail and put the batteries in and was surprised of the power and ROF. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Bigger battery may have increased performance. I've seen other videos that has the PCB installed. The blaster IMO under performs without select fire. Although not bad I wont be satisfied until I get my hands on the select fire chips. They seem to increase the ROF while controlling the motor performance while shooting....Thanks for the review and it seems you just shipped my extra clips and darts for this gun. Thanks again

@TheN3crons 2 года назад

From what I can tell, alot of people don't like 3 stage flywheels. Has anyone asked Worker why they are so adamant about the triple stage flywheel setup? From what I can tell, they did it purely for aesthetic purposes. Awesome review and still excited about the dual weild possibilities of the pheonix 2.0.

@SubparRobotWars 2 года назад

I guess the brass inserts are on that side of the shell is that traditionally like the stryfe, all the parts of the blaster screw onto that side of the shell.

@The_RC_Dude 2 года назад

Very cool Luke! Strange how recently Worker will release a new blaster in a clear shell, then a few months later release what appears to be the “better” version of the first blaster, just look at the Worker Cheetahs, and now the Phenixes. So it’s like Wokrer releases the “teaser” or prototype version of a blaster (like how Ford released the Bronco SUV to get everyone more hyped about the Bronco pickup), just to release what appears to be the original, final version of the blaster that’s better. Anyway, this seems to be a very good SMG style flywheeler, it also looks awesome and well rounded (literally and figuratively).

@andrewevers2420 2 года назад

@jasonbrecht8572 2 года назад

On board with other commentors of wanting a select fire or a variable fps switch ala the Pew Pew. Main impediment for me is the angled mag necessity. Sigh. IMO, the inserts on the right hand side make the clean surface showing to you, not others. You get to lookit the nice side the most time! Thanks for the new video OOD!

@obsidiansands 2 года назад

I just bought one of your hopper extensions for the Perses (TYVM btw), and now I see this - and I am very tempted to get this. Unfortunately, family comes first over hobby and I hope I can still avail of this in a month or so. I wonder if you also plan a mod/replacement for the foregrip as I really wish you could fold that grip thing rather than have it detach or something. When it was initially teased, the foregrip looked like it was foldable. Folding the foregrip and removing the stock would make that look like an OP secondary SMG-type pistol, but that's just me.

@robertswartz3010 2 года назад

The battery storage in the stock seems like it could be an extra. A screw seems pretty excessive for that purpose, but maybe with a thumb screw it can perform that function better.

@reidmeyer8792 Год назад

I think the stock battery compartment is to store an extra battery for extended games. Honestly though, I think just storing them in a pouch would be more convenient.

Big question; is it the same cage as the 1.0? Because I have Kury's 2-stage cage with Krakens into overvolted Fang RVs in my 1.0 and I'm getting 200 - 210 fps with never-fired darts. I hope Kury doesn't have to design another cage for the 2.0

Hey out of darts is there anyway you could design and sell an ammo box for the Adventure Force V-twin to make it more like a modern Vulcan. I think connecting the ammo box would be simple because of the notches where you connect the ammo storage wheels.

@Fgtfv567 2 года назад

Are there phoenix 1.0 or 2.0 cages? 150 fps out of a triple stage setup is a bit disappointing. I'd hope to put a new cage in for single or double stage and get the same fps or better

@koolBOY8323 2 года назад

i like it, but i wish it had straight talon compatibility. i just have too many of them to go and restock on all angled mags just for one blaster.

@NepDouble07 2 года назад

Would the new bearing scar work on this blaster? I feel like that alongside cut down AF waffle head darts would make this a killer blaster. I've seen a pretty sizeable fps increase with those darts because of the larger tip, most likely from making more contact with the flywheels.

@outofdarts 2 года назад

We haven't yet tested the bearing scar on flywheelers, so the jury is still out. Still, the blaster alone with cut down waffles would be a formidable loadout.

What would you prefer the dzp mk3 or the phoenix 2.0?

@afgtp0906 Год назад

The internals and performance are almost exactly the same as the 1.0 Pheonix which in your original Pheonix review you said didn't make sense for having 3 stages. The 2.0 without select fire kit and other upgrades is essentially the same thing as 1.0 (exact same performance) just in a the newer shell. On a plus note I have an almost 2 year old 1.0 that is still going strong and hasn't had a single issue.

@faultedtoast45 2 года назад

An angle mag adapter (going from angled mag well to straight mag) would be cool but I don’t know how that could work.

@KenshinPlayz57 Год назад

IMO, the 1.0 looks a lot more like an mp7 when you add the worker stock, flash heider and suppressor, and you would definitely add those for ergonomics

@lynxrbeam8732 Год назад

Can we get a 10 round nightingale mag? That would be awesome for the pistol.

@benlam419 2 года назад

Everything is fine except for the 3 stage setup. We know 2 stage pulsar can pull 200fps, so there's no excuse to be only getting 150fps like the v1. Personal gripe is that straight talons are preferred but everything else is cool.

@okanaganmedia 2 года назад

What gun would you recommend for highest velocity (FPS) and accuracy? I'm looking for myself. Target practice mostly.

@outofdarts 2 года назад

If velocity and accuracy are your priorities for a blaster, I would say go with a 3D-printed springer like a TalonClaw or a Lynx and grab a scar barrel. If you prefer something injection-molded, the Worker Swift, Adventure Force Nexus Pro, and Dart Zone Max Stryker are great performing blasters, and can be modded to shoot farther and more accurately.

@adriansue8955 2 года назад

Mag in Grip is a Dealbreaker I don't have huge hands. putting the mag in grip puts an uncomfortable lower size limit on the grip. I hate the recent trend for blasters to do this. People think its cool because Guns do it? well darts are larger than bullets, its not a good idea for foam blaster practicality. They've got that big chunky mini-foregrip for a trigger guard, stick the magazine through that spot and I'll consider it.

Thanks for the review! I'm concerned about the real-steel aesthetic direction that worker and other chinese manufacturers are going but I know that's what a lot of the market wants. I believe the reason for the 3 low-crush stages is because a lot of the chinese market still uses FVJs which don't work in high-crush cages. Would also be nice to say the price in the video.

@guskohu2093 2 года назад

Based on the review, I ordered this. Worker has not shipped it, admits they have not shipped it and offered to cancel rather than ship it. This is terrible customer service. If others experience this, it's important to let people know that Worker is not delivering merchandise reliably. I was not warned about this, I had to track shipping three weeks after the order. In other words, Worker will keep your money and send you nothing unless you monitor every part of the transaction. This is disturbing.
