The Ace of Spades is one of Destiny 2's most iconic weapons, an exotic hand cannon that belonged to Nathan Fillion’s Cayde-6. Bungie recently announced a NERF version of the gun with an orange and black theme that will be matched by an in-game ornament for the gun coming next month. The only problem is that the design seems to be based on a nearly decade-old fan print.

Players who have the title unlocked, which requires completing a bunch of 10th anniversary content, and buy the toy replica will also get an exotic ornament for Ace of Spades called “Pocket Ace” that looks just like the NERF version and drops when Destiny’s Episode 2 Revenant update arrives on October 8.
