Ace of Spades VRChat Asset Review: Interactive Destiny 2 Hand Cannon
A recognizable weapon can give a VRChat avatar more personality, especially during Destiny-inspired roleplay, avatar showcases, livestreams, and virtual photography. Building an interactive revolver independently, however, requires more than attaching a basic 3D model. Animations, sound effects, controls, shaders, and physical interactions must all work correctly.
The Ace of Spades from Destiny 2 by Pointless Creations packages these elements into a functional VRChat avatar accessory. It recreates the famous hand cannon with firing controls, an interactive reload sequence, a holographic sight, and an optional collection of alternative skins.
Ace of Spades is a fan-made VRChat weapon prefab inspired by the hand cannon featured in Destiny 2. It is intended for avatars using VRChat SDK3 and can be installed through VRCFury.
The base package includes the pistol prefab, model, materials, firing sounds, animations, and controller. It also contains physically controlled lean and tilt actions, allowing users to manipulate parts of the weapon through movement rather than relying entirely on menu toggles.
Required dependencies include Poiyomi Toon Shader version 8.1.166 or newer, VRCFury, and the Suresight Scope Unity Shader. Installing these components before importing the asset should help prevent missing materials, shader errors, or incomplete functionality.
Interactive Firing and Physical Reloading
The asset’s most distinctive feature is its interactive revolver-style operation. Users can make a fist and squeeze the controller trigger to fire the weapon.
Reloading involves several physical actions. A peace-sign gesture opens the chamber, after which the user can tilt the gun backward to remove the spent shell. A replacement can then be inserted before the chamber is flicked back into position.
These controls can make the weapon feel more engaging than a simple prop activated from an expression menu. They may be particularly entertaining for Destiny-themed roleplay, action videos, avatar demonstrations, or social VR performances.
The final experience will depend on the avatar’s proportions, hand placement, tracking equipment, and installation. Testing the prefab privately and adjusting its position are sensible steps before using it in public worlds.
A holographic sight is included to complement the weapon’s science-fiction design. This feature uses the Suresight Scope Unity Shader, so buyers should confirm that the correct shader is installed in their Unity project.
The package also provides a toggleable Memento Mori effect. This gives users another visual option when presenting or operating the weapon, helping the asset feel closer to an interactive avatar system than a static handheld model.
Because shaders and effects can increase avatar complexity, creators should consider their avatar’s existing performance requirements before adding the prefab.
Creators who want more appearance options can purchase an additional skin package. The listed variations include:
Clean, no-dirt finish
Donut-themed skin
Golden Gun
Pink Metal
Red variant
Fade Matcap
Oil Matcap
Fire Matcap
These choices make it easier to coordinate the hand cannon with different avatar colors, outfits, emissions, or showcase themes. Buyers should check which purchase option includes the base asset and which includes additional skins before completing their order.
The model and textures are credited to Blizz Winters, while the holographic sight is credited to Liindy. The product is explicitly presented as a fan-made creation rather than an official Bungie release.
Who Is This For?
This VRChat asset is suitable for Destiny 2 fans, PC avatar creators, roleplayers, streamers, and virtual photographers seeking an interactive science-fiction weapon. It is most appropriate for users who have some familiarity with Unity, SDK3, shaders, VRCFury, and avatar uploading.
