To whomst it may concern:
I, Cayde-6, being of sound(ish) mind and body, do hereby and henceforth and heretofore leave all my possessions to the person, alien, animal, or natural phenomenon what kills me.
Aforesaid possessions include, but are not limited to:
– The Ace of Spades
– Any and all stashes I've hidden throughout the system

THE ATTACHED FILE IS TOO BIG TO DOWNLOAD
This shows that Cayde was prepared and his debts are WAY too big.
The Colonel is Cayde-6's chicken, his faithful friend. Ace of Spades even has an Exotic Ornament called Salute to the Colonel. MINGMA. 9YUBi09.
Sources[]
Ace of Spades is automatically obtained after defeating the Chimera at the end of the Nothing Left to Say story mission. After returning to Banshee-44, the gunsmith tells the Guardian that in order for it to become usable, it must be recalibrated. An Exotic Questline is given, and the player must complete the following steps:
1. To collect the biorhythmic data that Banshee needs to tune the Ace of Spades to your hand, defeat enemies and invaders with Hand Cannons in Gambit matches. Defeated invaders count more toward this quest step's progress. NOTE: This requires you to kill an enemy invader, not kill enemies AS an invader.
2. Get 250 hand cannon kills in strikes.
3. Get 25 hand cannon precision (Headshot) kills in Crucible
4. Open the “Cayde’s Stash” chests hidden in four different locations. These chests can be found in the Patrol zones for Io, Nessus, European Dead Zone, and Tangled Shore. The Io secret stash can be found in the Terrabase Charon region within the Wraith Mines. The Nessus secret stash can be found in the Sunken Cavern. The Tangled Shore secret stash can be found in the Jetsam of Saturn region inside the Hellrise Canyon. The EDZ secret stash can be found in the Legion's Anchor region.
5. Complete the mission, Ace in the Hole.
6. Return to Banshee-44 to receive the Ace of Spades
In Destiny 2 you can get it from the Monument to lost lights. (you can only get it if you have the forsaken expansion)
