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.

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.

Upgrades

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

Reinforced Barrel: Increased Range. Reduced Stability.
High Caliber Rounds: Oversize rounds built to stagger targets and leave them reeling. Their mass makes a weapon harder to handle.
Perfect Balance: This weapon has extremely low recoil.

Exotic Perk

Maverick: Precision kills move one round from your ammo reserves into the magazine.^[2]

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 hip-firing like a Last Word.
