Terrible at PvP and wanting the Ace of Spades. Any tips?
I need 25 precision kills with a handcannon in Crucible, and after 7 games, I only have 1. I don't have any exotics and I'm a Warlock with Forsaken. I need tips, and very much a lot of help. The Ace of Spades is my most desirable weapon and I would really like it.

OP, like you I was not that interested in Crucible. I'd owned the game since early February and only started playing Crucible on the regular in September for the same reason you are now: to complete the Ace of Spades quest & the whole Cayde's Will thing was the perfect capper to the Forsaken campaign.

I did this in Rumble (the best place to do this IMO) and it was surprisingly easy to finish after a rough start. I used some exotic weapons you may not have (Malfeasance, Crimson and Sunspot). But you could try any weapons with an explosive perk you may already have in your collection (Trust maybe). Also look for armor perks that boost hand cannon reload time or targeting assistance. You could also add mods that boost damage. Remember to always aim for the head, easier said than done but stick with it. Also don't take players head on if you're not confident you'll win. I had good games and bad ones. But in the good ones I managed a lot of progress.

I should point out the game has changed since I did this weapon challenge. There were a lot of AFK players in September but you'll hardly see that now. But that got me a lot of free and easy kills.

Anyway just experiment with strategies, loadouts and subclasses and try to find an enjoyable play style that also augments what your trying to accomplish.

You might also consider posting in the Crucible Play Book reddit or checking Youtube on how others completed this step..

Hope this helps.

Just play the game, it should come naturally if you spend time in the crucible, wait for momentum control because that way, you can get the drop on people more often.

Erianas vow is a whopper for headshots with what feels like a 90 aim assist.

Git gud would be my tip

What handcannon you do have and which one you like to use the most? Also, what's your input device, mouse or gamepad?

if you look at the youtube pvp gurus they have the FOV field of view set at about 80% and the objects in theFOV will appear larger which means that targets will be easier to hit.

easier targetting is not the same as accuracy.

at 105% all objects appear smaller and targetting is really hard.


the rest is just a hard and likely unpleasant grindfest.

Don't sweat it. Run with double hand cannons - Austringer and Kindled Orchid for instance -, play control or mayhem, stay behind your teammates and aim at the head whenever you shoot an opponent. Using this method I got 2-4 precision kills per match on average. You'll get there eventually.

Read your guys' suggestions and I have a few responses. I'm running double generic hand cannons (can't remember their names, one's a rare and the other's a legendary) using a keyboard and mouse, and I don't have Eriana's Vow. I haven't tried Control or Mayhem yet so I'll definitely try those two. I don't want to killsteal but I'm not good enough to take on an opponent by myself so I guess I have no choice. Thanks for your help guys and please give me more tips if anything else comes to mind.

Ikelos HC is a wonderful gun, not just for this but in general, and it's what I used.

Head to mars and grab the Ikelos Handcannon. You get it through Escalation Protocol, or doing some quests for Anna Bray. I highly recommend it. Other than that, stick with your team and help take down the enemy. It's not kill-stealing, that's just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ salty players complain about and use as an excuse for low kill-counts.

Get a Spare Rations from Gambit Prime. I use it more than AoS now and I love AoS.

Steal away the kill mate, control is goOd cause 6 v 6, just follow your teamates around you will get 2 or 3 precision kill per game. I was like you once feeling unconfident to do pvp cause i was really terrible at first and also ace of spade is what got me to crucible as i also desire the weapon. Anyway good luck hope you get it!

If you are bad follow a more skilled player, staying a bit back.

It will give you more time to aim, reduce the number of team deaths, and your hit might just be the extra damage it takes to save your teammate those times when he is about to be overwhelmed.

Also, use Eriana's for your initial hits, then switch to a hand cannon with more ammo afterwards if you have 2 or fewer rounds left.
