'''Ace of Spades''' | '''Ace of Spades''' was a [[Hunter]]-exclusive exotic [[Hand Cannon]] introduced in ''[[The Taken King]]'', which served as the signature weapon of the [[Vanguard]] Hunter [[Cayde-6]].<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/Armory/Detail?type=item&item=552354419&itemname=Ace%20of%20Spades '''Bungie.net''' - ''Armory: Ace of Spaces'']</ref> It is obtained by reaching Rank 3 [[Gunsmith]] reputation with a Hunter and completing the [[Quest#Back in the Saddle|Back in the Saddle]] [[quest]]. It was reintroduced in ''[[Forsaken]]'' and can be obtained after a lengthy questline following the main story, now available to all Classes. The Ace of Spades is named after Cayde-6’s son, Ace, before he became a guardian. Since the introduction of the Beyond Light expansion, the Ace of Spades can be obtained in the Monument to Lost Lights. | ||
== | ==Overview== | ||
{{Quote|Don't play your hand unless you're sure you have that ace in the hole.|Weapon Description (D1)}} | |||
The Ace of Spades was a [[Hunter]]-specific [[Hand Cannon]] in [[The Taken King]] 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. In [[Forsaken]], The Ace of Spades, now available to all [[Guardian]] classes, can still easily clear hordes of enemies with the Firefly perk, where after a precision kill, the enemy explodes dealing [[Solar]] damage. The instrinsic perk it has is called Memento Mori, where reloading after a kill gives The Ace of Spades extra damage power in six shots, making it one of the best [[exotic]] weapons in Destiny 2. | |||
==Gameplay== | |||
===''Destiny''=== | |||
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. | |||
===''Destiny 2''=== | |||
The Ace of Spades returns in the ''Forsaken'' expansion. Unlike its ''Destiny'' incarnation, it is no longer restricted to Hunters. In PvP, it has proven itself to be an extremely powerful weapon, outperforming hand cannons in the same archetype and others including, but not limited to, Better Devils, Dire Promise, and Jack Queen King 3. Memento Mori grants the user radar even when aiming down sights, a trait which is shared with [[MIDA Multi-Tool]]. The perk also grants six increased damage bullets after every kill and reload, and when paired with its Firefly perk, gives it an effect similar the Kill Clip/Outlaw combination seen on other, legendary weapons. However, unlike that combination, Memento Mori's effect wears off when the weapon is stowed, the user is killed or when all six bullets are expended, and not over time. | |||
