Shortly after the release of the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2, it became known how to obtain the exotic hand cannon Cayde-6’s Ace of Spades. You must go through everything to get the Ace of Spades.
The personal hand cannon of the fallen Hunter Vanguard leader Cayde-6 is one of the many new firearms introduced in the Forsaken expansion. However, besides taking revenge on Cayde’s murderer Uldren, Guardians have a lot to do if they want to obtain the Ace of Spades.

Pikass in Destiny 2: Forsaken – Here’s how you need to work for the weapon
To obtain the Pikass, you need to complete a multi-part questline that starts after finishing the Forsaken story. Guardians receive the quest from the Gunsmith Banshe-44 when they speak to him after bringing Cayde to the Tower following his death. Banshe will have a corresponding quest symbol above his head – he is hard to miss.
Step 1 – Get the Pikass from Uldren
First, Guardians must take revenge on Uldren Sov and the eight Barons for Cayde-6’s death. This step is a prerequisite for obtaining the Pikass. As part of the Forsaken campaign, Guardians must defeat Uldren Sov and retrieve the Pikass from him.
Step 2 – Bring the Pikass to the Gunsmith
Once you have retrieved the weapon from Uldren, it will be damaged. You must take it to Banshe-44 to repair it. He will need some biorhythmic data to complete the repairs.
Step 3 – Gambit Kills
Now, you need to achieve five PvP kills with any hand cannon in Gambit. Since Update 2.0.3.1, it no longer matters whether you eliminate invaders or get the kills yourself as an intruder in the enemy territory. All kills of human opponents count.
Step 4 – Strike Kills
In this step, you must eliminate 250 enemies using any hand cannon in Strikes.
Step 5 – Crucible Kills
In PvP, you need to achieve 25 precision kills with any hand cannon.
Step 6 – Find Cayde’s Chests
There are a total of four chests scattered across the Solar System. You will need to find all four to obtain new parts for the Ace of Spades. The chests are located in the EDZ on Earth, on IO, on Nessus, and in the Tangled Shore.
By the way: Once you are near the chests, you will be notified of this with a message on the left side of the screen.

Step 7 – Titan Mission “Ace in the Hole”
Now you will need to complete the mission “Ace in the Hole” on Titan. The recommended power level is 460. There, you need to collect 10 personal chests from Cayde-6. After the mission ends, you will have all the necessary parts to restore the Pikass.
Step 8 – Bring the parts to the Gunsmith
Now return to Banshe-44 with all the required weapon parts. In exchange, you will receive the ready-to-use exotic hand cannon from Cayde-6.
What do you think of this quest? Do you consider the effort appropriate for such a reward?
