The Ace of Spades was first given to Destiny 2 players through a quest in the game’s Forsaken DLC. For those who don’t know, the history of the weapon says that Banshee-44 built and designed it for Cayde-6. During the story of Destiny 2: Forsaken, Ludden Sov stole the gun. The Guardian then got it back. In the expansion’s main campaign, Ludden Sov killed Cayde-6 as a result. If you play Destiny 2 and see a lot of people using hand cannons, it’s likely because they’re trying to get an exotic weapon called Ace of Spades.
It’s a long, complicated, and a little bit annoying quest, but I’m happy to say it’s also really worth doing. With the Forsaken expansion, the Ace of Spades came back. In P2P, it has proven to be a very powerful weapon, beating hand cannons of the same type as well as Better Devils, Dire Promise, and Jack Queen King 3, among others.
Ace of Spades was first seen in Forsaken, when Ludden Sov killed Cayde-6. It was acquired after the main campaign. The first quest was a lot of fun. You had to kill invaders in Gambit, which came out at the same time as Gambit, 250 enemies with Hand Cannon strikes, and 25 precision kills in the Crucible. Finding Cayde’s hidden caches was one of the best parts of the mission. we saved that and will play it at the end of the video because it has some great lore (essentially Cayde-6 leaving messages behind for his potential killers).

What is Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades is made for Cayde-6 in a special way. Cayde-6 is killed by Uldren Sov during the main campaign of the expansion. In the lore, we learn that Uldren gives the weapon back to the guardian. With the Ace of Spades, you can quickly and heavily hurt your opponents. The weapon also has its own special features and gives the user better stats. On top of that, you can make two awesome improvements to this weapon.
Firefly
This is a part of the weapon itself. As a player gets more precise kills, the rate at which the weapon reloads goes up. Most of the time, we use it to kill large groups of enemies. When the speed of reloading goes up, the targets also blow up and damage nearby enemies with solar damage. With this weapon, players can also get more kills with more accuracy.
Memento Mori
This is an extra ability that comes into play when the Ace of Spades is used. Each time you kill an enemy, the bullets do more damage. When a player reloads after killing someone, the next bullets do more damage. The firefly trait and the memento mori trait work well together. Users can destroy enemy lines because of how quickly they can reload and how much damage they do when they shoot.

Final Words
So here we conclude our article on How to Get the Ace of Spades in Destiny 2. Guardians rarely die because their Ghosts keep them from falling into the void. But in 2018, it killed Cayde-6, who was one of the best Guardians that Destiny has ever had. His death was full of sacrifice, selflessness, and completely stupid shenanigans that perfectly showed what a Guardian he was. His death was sad for everyone, but he is still a part of our lives in many small ways. One of these ways is the Ace of Spades gun, which came out in 2018 as part of the Forsaken expansion.
