Destiny: How to Unlock Hunter-Specific Exotic Hand Cannon

The Ace of Spades is a level 40 exotic hand cannon that only Hunters can wield. However, players won’t be finding this item through luck of the drop. That means no exotic farming will allow this beauty to become part of your ass-kicking arsenal. It should also be noted that this could end up taking some time to unlock, based on some form of dumb luck.

Getting this tomorrow. Can't wait.

Side item: If you saved you old legendaries, they will count towards the dismantle portion of the quest. The 100 kills with telemetry is pretty easy. Just do patrol on the Dreadnaught. Done in almost no time just in that starter area since Hive and Cabal are endless. Start up some events if you have em, get some other rewards.

I'm happy with how do-able it is. It's also kind of missable which is kind of nice so it's not like they are just giving the gun away. You have to put some effort in but not too much.

ChronoJoe3179d ago (Edited 3179d ago )

Only problem I have with it is the design of the gun itself. It's just the same as an old vanguard revolver, repainted!

Also in terms of stats it's almost identical to the hawkmoon, with a worse exotic perk. :/

JeffGUNZ3179d ago

Any tips on quickly ranking up the gunsmith to level 3? How long did it take you to do so?

kmeck5183179d ago (Edited 3179d ago )

I would like to know too. The only way i know of for guaranteed rep is field testing the weapons every week. Other than that I've only gotten 2 of those drops that you turn in to him. I just got to rank 1 on monday.

Tequila_Wolf3179d ago

All that I've found is field testing weapons and randomly getting drops that you turn in to him. Overall it can be a drawn out process which is the worst part.

Christopher3179d ago

Do all the weapons each week, and get a little lucky with those item drops that you can turn in to raise faction.

I got lucky that last Tuesday they refreshed his stock early with 5 new weapons, so I got to do those as well as the usual Wednesday refresh weapons he has. Why I'm a sliver from rank 3.

ShadowKing-3179d ago (Edited 3179d ago )

i dont know if its just me, but bungie has really turned destiny around with this expansion, just seems like everytime i look on n4g or destiny forums, there a new exotic to be discovered doing x amount things with certain requirements, like the exclusive exotic for each class or only obtaining certain items from strikes and such. granted like everyone says "this is the way destiny should have been" but like we hope mosts devs will do is learn from there mistakes.

at least so far, i have not ran out of things to do, and im still rocking only my first toon.

JeffGUNZ3179d ago

Yeah man, went from possibly buying this to be addicted all over again. Game is awesome and I will be farming the hell out of the gusmith to get this handcannon.

hamzilla3175d ago

I was originally mixed on getting Taken King but I am so glad that I did now. This is now totally a great game. Much more to do now. The new sub-classes are freaking dope (love Force Lightning on my Warlock) And the exotic weapons that people keep coming up with make it more exciting to keep playing! Bungie I think you gained a ton of respect from me with this expansion. I may actually be looking towards the next big thing this game gives us.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter374d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood374d ago (Edited 374d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro374d ago (Edited 374d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881374d ago (Edited 374d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell373d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig374d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast374d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername374d ago (Edited 374d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g374d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka374d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai525d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface524d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard522d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
