Ace of Spades

"Don't play your hand unless you're sure you have that ace in the hole."

- Weapon Description

Ace of Spades is a Hunter-exclusive exotic Hand Cannon introduced in The Taken King. It is obtained by reaching Rank 3 Gunsmith reputation with a Hunter and completing the Back in the Saddle quest.

Gameplay
The Ace of Spades rewards precision kills with two main bonuses: With Firefly, all precision kills become explosive shots that do damage to nearby enemies. With Maverick, precision kills grants a bullet from your ammo reserve into the magazine. Both these perks are more useful against groups of weaker enemies, as they will not activate as frequently with stronger enemies who require multiple shots to bring down.

Trivia
In folklore, the ace of spades is traditionally known as The Death Card due to its long tradition with war.
