Ace of Spades is a Hunter-exclusive exotic Hand Cannon introduced in The Taken King.[1] It is obtained by reaching Rank 3 Gunsmith reputation with a Hunter and completing the Back in the Saddle quest. It was reintroduced in Forsaken and can be obtained after a lengthy questline after the main story.

Overview

The Ace of Spades is a Hunter-specific Hand Cannon that fits into the mid-impact archetype. The weapon has 12 bullets in the magazine and is capable of clearing entire rooms of enemies without reloading using the Maverick perk, which reloads one bullet from the reserves after a precision kill.

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, possibly meaning that a player can expend all their ammo without reloading at all.

Weapon Perks

Destiny

Intrinsic Perk

  • Third Eye: Radar stays active while aiming down this weapon's sights.

Sights

  • Truesight IS: Flexible sight. Light, with good recoil control. Strong target acquisition.
  • Quickdraw IS: Agile sight. Lightning-fast handling.
  • Steadyhand IS: Stable sight. Optimized for excellent recoil control.

Special Perk

  • Firefly: Precision kills with this weapon cause the target to explode.

Stat Modifiers

Destiny 2

Exotic Perk

  • Memento Mori: Reloading after a kill loads magazine with a few extra bullets. Grants radar when aiming down sights.

Stat Modifiers

  • Corkscrew Rifling: Balanced barrel. Slightly increases range and stability. Slightly increases handling speed.
  • High-Caliber Rounds: Shots from this weapon knock the target back farther. Slightly increases range.
  • Smooth Grip: This weapon is slightly easier to hold and aim. Slightly increases stability. Slightly increases handling speed.

Special perk

  • Firefly: Precision kills with this weapon increase reload speed and cause the target to explode, dealing Solar damage to nearby enemies.

Weapon ornament

Trivia

  • In folklore, the ace of spades is traditionally known as The Death Card due to its long tradition with war.[3]
  • The Hunter Vanguard representative Cayde-6 is seen wielding the Ace of Spades in the official Destiny 2 trailer, killing Cabal while fanning the hammer like the Last Word. It's revealed in Destiny 2 that Cayde commissioned Banshee-44 to have the gun built as his signature weapon.
  • Ironically in the opening of the Forsaken expansion, Prince Uldren kills Cayde-6 with the Ace of Spades, Cayde's own gun.
