In a nutshell: We’re just a few weeks away from the highly-anticipated launch of Halo Infinite, so what better way to ramp up the hype than to announce the best replica Needler gun to date.

Hasbro has been making video game-themed Nerf guns for a while now. There’s its Fortnite line that includes a rocket launcher, a series of blasters based on popular Roblox games, and a previous attempt at a Needler in its Halo lineup that wasn’t exactly stunning, but that particular single-dart-firing replica did cost just $10, admittedly.

The latest version of Nerf’s Needler is a lot more impressive—and ten times the price. It doesn’t fire sharp spikes of crystalline plasma that home in on enemies and explode on impact, sadly, but does feature a fully motorized blaster that shoots ten darts in a row from the rotating, 10-dart drum.

The Needler also has a very cool effect in which needles on the top of the gun light up when users grip the handle. Each time a dart is fired, one of the lights goes out, imitating how the needles disappear in the game version.

Nerf’s new Needler requires a hefty six AA 1.5V batteries to work. It also comes with a price tag to match its feature set: $100. Buyers get a stand to show it off—there’s a display mode that activates all its light-up features—as well as a card that unlocks in-game content for Halo Infinite. No word on what this content might be, but one would imagine it's related to the Needler or is a set of Nerf skins.

The Nerf LMTD Halo Needler is now available to pre-order from Amazon , Entertainment Earth, GameStop , and Hasbro Pulse . The replica is still in development, which means it's not set to ship until December 2022. Halo Infinite, meanwhile, lands on December 8.
