How To Get Ace Of Spades Catalyst 2021
Alright, Guardian! You've got yourself a shiny Ace of Spades, congratulations! Now you're probably itching to unlock its full potential with that sweet, sweet catalyst. I feel you! It's like having a perfectly good donut... then realizing you can put sprinkles on it. Sprinkles, people! Let's get that icing on the cake. Well, more like bullets in the hand cannon.
So, How Do We Snag This Magical Upgrade?
Okay, here's the skinny: obtaining the Ace of Spades catalyst in 2021 (and beyond, because time is a flat circle in Destiny, right?) involves one very specific activity, the Strikes! Yes, that's right. You just need to equip your Ace of Spades and start running strikes. You don't need to win or play a specific strike, just load into any of the strikes and then finish it with the weapon equipped.
Think of it this way: You, your Ace of Spades, and the strike playlist are going on a little adventure together. A violent, enemy-filled adventure, but an adventure nonetheless! Equip it, maybe whisper some words of encouragement (I personally talk to my gear, don't judge), and dive right in!

The key here is Patience. Seriously. You could get the catalyst on your first strike. You could get it on your fiftieth. It’s random, like trying to get a good roll on a piece of armor. Just keep grinding. I know, I know, grinding can sound like a chore, but it doesn't have to be! Turn on some music, grab a snack (popcorn is always a winner in my book), and make it a party! And remember, don't forget to equip your Ace of Spades!
"But wait!" I hear you cry. "Do I have to get the final blow with Ace? Does it need to be equipped at all times? WHAT ARE THE RULES?!"
Good questions, hypothetical Guardian! The answer is simple: As long as your Ace of Spades is equipped when the strike boss bites the dust, you're golden. You don't need to get every kill with it. Just having it equipped at the very end is key! Feel free to experiment with other weapons, use your abilities – just don't forget to switch back to your trusty Ace before the final blow. Think of it like sneaking a vegetable into your kid's food; they don't need to know it's healthy, just that it's there!
Once It Drops
Once the catalyst finally drops, you're not quite done yet! You need to defeat 500 enemies with Ace of Spades to fully unlock its power. This is where things get REALLY fun. Head to the Grasp of Avarice entrance or the thrallway in Shattered Throne and prepare for carnage. Or load up any strike, adventure, or lost sector! Wherever you want to use it. Just equip that Ace and start blasting. Personally, I like to imagine I'm cleaning up my neighborhood one Hive grunt at a time. Makes me feel like a superhero.
Don't get discouraged! Just keep playing, and remember to focus on having fun. Enjoy the power of the Ace of Spades. Embrace the grind (with snacks, of course). And before you know it, that catalyst will be yours, transforming your already awesome hand cannon into a weapon of LEGEND! Happy hunting, Guardian!
