This shit is hard as fuck. Unless you have Crimson or you're super accurate, it's a PITA trying to get 25 precision kills and 5 Gambit invasion kills.

If you have a year one Better Devils with explosive rounds in your kinetic slot, and a year one Sunshot in your energy slot, you can roll with both and that should help with dealing enough DPS for the 5 Gambit invasion kills.

You can also do the Malfeasance exotic quest to get this achievement. Maybe a little easier compared to Crucible.
- Keep Playing Gambit and kill the Ascended Taken Servitor. Once you’ve defeated the Primeval and earned the heart, take it back to the Drifter in the Tower.
- Kill Taken Bosses. The best area for this is Rheasilvia.
- Complete the questline: The Corrupted. My advice is to get a full fireteam
- Win 10 games of Gambit and deposit 400 motes. However, losing any motes will actually set you back by two times the amount lost.
- Kill 25 enemy Guardians in Gambit AND and either kill four enemies in a single invade once or have a teammate kill four enemies in a single invade three times.

It worked for me on November 30, 2020.

An alternative quest that you can take on is Holliday Family History. This quest is a little easier than the one for Ace Of Spades. It's a random drop quest that you can get once you get to the Dreaming City. Completing this will grant you the Chaperone shotgun, which is great for PvP but not very useful in PvE. The requirements are:
- 20 kills with a shotgun in Crucible
- 20 kills with each type of damage in Crucible (i.e. Solar, Void, and Arc, so 60 kills total). Now this part is a little tricky, because you get 5% towards your subclass total for every kill, but you also LOSE 1% every time you die. So it will take more than 20 in actuality, unless you're a god that can go on 20 straight kill streaks. It's really not too bad, only took me a few games to knock this out and I'm very average at Crucible play.
- 15 kills against Guardians in Gambit. This was really easy, since you can invade with your Super active and rack up bodies when they aren't paying attention. All weapons count towards the 15, too.
After this, go talk to Amanda at the Tower and turn in the contract. Boom, new Exotic and you're 20G richer.
UPDATE on 8/28/23.....this achievement has been completely reworked, and no longer requires you to finish an exotic quest. All you have to do now is simply collect 15 exotic Forsaken-era weapons or armor pieces. Getting exotics in this day and age is easier than ever. You can pick up exotics from Xur on Fridays or get them from completing weekly activities. If you want to know what exotics you can get, go to the Kiosk in the Tower and check there.

Question, for the 20 kills, does the quest distinguish your progress towards each subclass? For example, is it 3 separate progress bars. One for solar, arc and void? Or is it lumped into one bar? If it's the latter it would be much more confusing to figure out your kill progress.
Overall solid guide. +1

Good question. It's 3 separate bars. I highly suggest working on one subclass at a time to avoid losing points in every category. For example, I run a Titan, so I started off with my Solar subclass and used only Solar weapons, after I got 100% I then switched to Void weapons, and so on.

just want to clarify; I made this post BEFORE the description was changed.
This isn't really a solution, but I couldn't find a list of exotic quests that do NOT count for this achievement. This could be bugged, but as of the day I'm writing this; these exotic quests seem to not count, possibly because they are from year 1, or Year 3: Shadowkeep.
Deathbringer, Xenophage, Leviathan's Breath, Riskrunner*, MIDA multi-tool*, Rat King*, Last Word**, Bad Juju**

My guess, it needs to be a year 2: forsaken quest for this achievement.
Please comment if these did work for you, or you are aware of some others that don't count!

The first exotic quest that you will likely receive is the one for the Ace of Spades. It is automatically given after speaking with Banshee-44 after completing Nothing Left to Say.
- Kill five invaders using hand cannons while playing Gambit.
- Kill 250 enemies during strikes with hand cannons.
- Defeat 25 opponents in the Crucible with 25 precision kills using a hand cannon.
- Find Cayde's four personal stashes.
- Complete the Ace in the Hole mission.
- Return to Banshee-44.
The other exotic quests may be easier for you, depending on your play style. They are listed below.
The Chaperone - Found randomly after reaching level 50 from the Crucible or other events.
The Chaperone - Found randomly after reaching level 50 from the Crucible or other events.
- Get 20 kills in the Crucible using a shotgun.
- Elemental kills in the Crucible with arc, solar, and void weapons. Kills earn 5% progress and deaths lose 1% progress.
- Get 15 player kills in Gambit, either invading or killing invaders.
Malfeasance - The trigger for this is spawning an Ascendant Primeval instead of the regular Primeval in a round of Gambit. This is random. When it spawns, you need to kill it to get The Seething Heart to drop. The chances for this are highest when the corruption in The Dreaming City is at it's highest. This is a three week cycle.
- Spawn and kill an Ascendant Primeval in Gambit.
- Kill 25 Taken bosses or mini-bosses.
- Complete special version of The Corrupted strike.
- Win 10 Gambit matches and deposit 500 motes. Any motes lost count double against your total.
- Get four kills in one invasion three times and get 25 invasion kills.
- Return to the Drifter.
Wish-Ender - This is only available during the last week of the three week cycle of The Dreaming City when the corruption is at it's highest.
- Open up the Dreaming City through Petra's quest. See Heart of the Awoken for more info.
- Kill the Ogre and visit the statue of Sjur Eido in "The Shattered Throne" mission found in the Confluence in The Dreaming City during the weeks when the corruption in The Dreaming City is at it's highest.
- Complete the mission "Prove Your Worth" in the Tangled Shore.
- Collect the three tokens and return to "The Shattered Throne" mission and kill all three hidden bosses and complete the mission.
- Interact with the statue again.

exotic bounty for Cade's "Ace of Spades" revolver. Do it and the trophy is yours

It doesn’t have to be the quest for the “Ace of Spades”, you can do it for the “Companion” shotgun. The quest is given by Amanda Holliday, and the quest itself is quicker, or any other... if you find it.

Many of the Forsaken guns are already in the Monument of Faded Light, there are no orders. I made a bunch of things, like the Companion, on the forums they say that a trophy falls for it. But no. I received a trophy for an assignment related to the Intruder Gambit. Not the easiest task, you need a lot of grinding in Gambit, and at the last stage of the invasion, personally kill the entire enemy team, or your allies can do this, but already 3 times
