Sep 20, 2018 Today's hot fix made a change to the Ace of Spades exotic quest in Destiny 2: Forsaken so that players should have an easier time completing the Gambit kills. Sep 21, 2018 Destiny 2 Aces of Spades is an Exotic quest you start early on in the Forsaken campaign. After receiving 'Cayde's Will' in your Pursuits, and sit until the main story ends - which is when you.
Update, September 5: Some Guardians on Reddit seem to think that Ace of Spades is bugged, it isn’t.
Just getting into Destiny 2: Forsaken? Good, you’ll want to get your armoured gloves around the new Ace of Spades exotic hand cannon then. Yes, that’s right, you’ll be able to get Cayde-6’s iconic gun back in good hands after it’s snatched by his murderer, Prince Uldren, in the new Forsaken expansion.
The Ace of Spades comes with the perk Memento Mori, which grants you extra bullets if you reload after a kill, and keeps your radar active when aiming down sights. The other perk is Firefly, which made a certain other hand cannon a beloved favourite of players of the original Destiny. Firefly increases your reload speed and explodes your target with solar energy if you get a precision kill on them.
So all a Guardian needs to bring the pain with the Ace of Spades is a keen eye. With that in mind, here’s how to get the Ace of Spades exotic hand cannon. Be warned: there are major spoilers for Destiny 2: Forsaken beyond this point.
First, you need to defeat Uldren Sov as part of the game’s main campaign. This should get you the Ace of Spades, but it’s broken – bummer. You then need to take the hand cannon to Banshee-44 in the Tower for repairs but he requires some parts to fix it. Of course he does.
To get the parts he needs, you must fulfil three criteria, which all require you to use a hand cannon. You must kill five enemies invading you within Gambit, kill 250 enemies using a hand cannon within a strike, and also get 25 precision kills in the Crucible while using a hand cannon.
After doing that, you need to find Cayde caches, which are scattered around the solar system. These will contain parts that are needed to repair the Ace of Spades.
You then need to return to Titan and complete a mission called Ace in the Hole. When you’ve done that you’ll have all the necessary parts and fulfilled all the criteria needed for Banshee-44 to repair the gun. Go back to Banshee with all the parts and he’ll present to you the Ace of Spades exotic hand cannon. Finally.
So, now that you have the Ace of Spades, have fun with those precision perks. If you’re on an exotic weapon binge and want to know how to find the others be sure to check out our Destiny 2 exotic weapons quest guide, which includes how to get Rat King, MIDA Multi Tool, Legend of Acrius, and more.
The Hunter-exclusive exotic hand cannon, Ace of Spades, has returned to Destiny 2 in the new expansion -- Forsaken. This powerful weapon has 13 bullets in magazine and allows you to clear an entire room of enemies with precision kill bonuses.
Destiny 2 Ace Of Spades Quest Easy
Getting Ace of Spades will not be easy in Destiny 2, as the quest consists of several different steps, which are described in our step-by-step guide below. So keep on reading if you want to know how to get this exotic weapon right now.
Step 1: Start Cayde's Will Quest
The key to unlocking Ace of Spades lies in the Cayde's Will quest, which becomes available at Banshee-44 after you've finished the main campaign.
This quest consists of the following steps:
- Get 5 Invasion Kills in Gambit
Gambit is a new PvP mode in the Forsaken DLC that puts two teams of four guardians against each other.
You can easily finish this step by asking your buddies to invade your game, and in this way you can quickly get the required 5 kills with a hand cannon.
- Get 250 Kills in Strikes
This is probably the easiest task of them all. Just choose any of the available Strikes in Destiny 2 and look out for places where it's easy to farm Thralls. In no time you should be able to get the required 250 kills with your hand cannon.
- Get 25 Precision Kills in Crucible
Choose any Crucible playlist that is available in Destiny 2 and equip a hand cannon that has the lowest recoil, which is exactly what you need for precision kills. In this case, the best choice would be Dire Promise, a legendary kinetic hand cannon that is available in Clan Engrams.
Step 2: Search for Cayde's Stashes
When you're done killing enemies with a hand cannon, you will be given the task to find four Cayde's caches that are hidden in different locations. Here's how you can get all of them quickly:
- Find the cache on Io
When you arrive at Io's Lost Oasis landing zone, head straight to the northern area of Terrabase Charon. From there make your way up to The Wraith Mines location and you will see the chest hidden in a crack of the wall.
- Find the cache on Nessus
Ace Of Spades Quest Destiny 1
The second cache will take you to Nessus. There go to Exodus Black landing zone and dive into the Sunken Cavern. Pass it through into the big round chamber and check out the top of the wall for another chest.
- Find the cache on the Tangled Shore
At the asteroid wasteland of Tangled Shore go to the Jetsam of Saturn location, and head straight through the cave in the south to its very edge. There you will find an opening in the rock with another hidden stash at the Hellrise Canyon.
- Find the cache in the EDZ
The final cache can be found in the EDZ at the Firebase Hades location. But not exactly, it's in one of the connecting areas -- Legions' Anchor, where the Arms Dealer strike takes place. Move towards the big alcove to your right and you should see the notification about the stash being nearby.
Step 3: Complete Ace in the Hole Quest

Lastly, go to Titan and finish a short and very simple Ace in the Hole solo mission, in which you will be listening to Cayde's monologue and pick up his chests on the way.
This is a very linear type of mission so you won't have trouble seeing the chests as they are openly placed throughout the main path.

When you find all 10 chests, bring the parts back to Banshee, and you will be rewarded with the Aces of Spades hand cannon.
