Destiny 2's Ace Of Spades Nerf Gun Is A Delightful Way To Remember A Great Character
The surprisingly large Ace of Spades Nerf LMTD blaster is an unexpected treat
As noted above, I don't know that I'll be firing the gun all that often long-term, but that's okay. It looks nice on a shelf, and coming off the campaign of The Final Shape--the best narrative work Bungie has done to date--I really like having this to commemorate Cayde-6, who famously wields the Ace of Spades. The initial reveal that Cayde would return to the game after being killed off years ago initially set off alarm bells, but his story turned out to be central to both the very character-focused plot of The Final Shape and its post-campaign content. Bungie somehow managed to pull off a worthwhile return for Cayde, and while his part might now truly be done, he will forever remain a major figure in the history of Destiny.
Like many fans, the unfortunate layoffs at Bungie have left me feeling uncertain about the series' future, even as the studio continues to share more on what to expect. But having this as a way to remember Cayde's part--and by association, many of my favorite moments over the last decade of Destiny--is a far more meaningful display piece to me than a more straightforward statue of a character. The fact that I might still get some cat videos out of it is just a nice bonus.
The Ace of Spades Nerf blasters was initially only available to preorder for those who unlocked the new Legend title in Destiny 2. It's now available for all to preorder on the Bungie Store and is expected to begin shipping in October.
