'''Dead Man's Tale''' is a [[Exotic]] [[Kinetic]] [[Scout Rifle]] that was first acquired from the completion of the [[The Voice on the Other Side]] [[Quest (Destiny 2)|quest]], and repeatedly afterwards with random rolls from completing the [[Presage]] activity weekly. With the release of ''[[The Witch Queen]]'' expansion, and the subsequent vaulting of the Presage mission, players could obtain one roll of the gun each week from [[Xûr]] by exchanging an [[Exotic Cipher]] with him. Beginning in ''[[Season of the Witch]]'', this weapon became craftable with new perks; given the reintroduction of its corresponding exotic mission on a weekly rotating schedule.

===Catalyst===
===Magazine Upgrade===
The quest to obtain the [[Exotic catalyst|catalyst]] for Dead Man's Tale was originally awarded upon completion of the Presage activity on Legend difficulty. Once this content was no longer in the game, the catalyst had a chance to drop from playlist activity completions ([[Strike]]s, [[Crucible]] and [[Gambit]]) once the weapon had been acquired. The Exotic quest to obtain the [[Exotic catalyst|catalyst]] has been brought back to the game in Season of the Witch, allowing the catalyst to drop on legend difficulty once again.
*'''Accurized Rounds:''' This weapon can fire longer distances.
:– Increases range


The catalyst, once completed, will grant an additional perk:
===Trait===
 
*'''Transformative:''' Future drops of this weapon will have random rolls.
*'''Dark Forged Trigger''': Removes hipfire accuracy penalties and increases rate of fire from hip. Stacks of Cranial Spike increase hip rate of fire further.
**Known rolls:
**#'''Killing Wind:''' Final blows grant increased mobility, weapon range, and handling for a short duration.
**#'''Vorpal Weapon:''' Increased Damage against bosses, vehicles, and Guardians with their super active.
**#'''Outlaw:''' Precision kills greatly decrease reload time.
**#'''Snapshot Sights:''' Faster time to aim down sights.
**#'''Fourth Time’s the Charm:''' Rapidly landing precision hits will return two rounds to the magazine.
**#'''Subsistence:''' Kills partially reload from the magazine from reserves, but reserve capacity is reduced.
**#'''Moving Target:''' Increased movement speed and target acquisition when moving while aiming down sights.

==Trivia==
*Dead Man's Tale Intrinsic Perk was changed in ''[[Season of Plunder]]'', due to some unintended effects and consequently, undesired prominence in the Crucible.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/51645 '''This Week at Bungie''': ''8/11/2022'']</ref>
*Dead Man's Tale is one of only two Transformative Exotic weapons, meaning it has multiple, random rolls; the other being [[Hawkmoon]].
*The Dead Man's Revenge ornament for Dead Man's Tale is a reference to the DMR from Halo.
