Memento Mori

Overview

Memento Mori is the intrinsic of the Exotic Hand Cannon Ace of Spades. If you reload within 3.5 seconds of a final blow, the next 6 rounds deal 150 to 160% damage. Against Guardians the bonus is 133%. Stowing the weapon removes the buff. The perk also gives radar while you aim down sights.

How it plays

The buff only comes from reloading shortly after a kill, so the trick is to reload right after clearing a target while the 3.5 second window is open. The damage bonus is affected by range falloff, so it is at its strongest up close and weakens at longer distances. Stowing the Ace of Spades cancels the buff, so keep the weapon out while you use it.

Weapons

Only the Ace of Spades rolls this intrinsic, so it is tied to that one exotic.

History

• Patch v2.6.0.1 made the damage bonus subject to range falloff.
