==Lore==
[[Gaelin-4]]'s [[War Beast|war beast]] leads us through balmy [[Venus]]ian jungle. Our rifles low, our [[Ghost]]s high in the canopy like sentry drones.

"My vehicle is old. Needs maintenance. Been running too long without cutting the engine," I say.

Gaelin sends me a sideways look. "That [[Amanda Holliday|shipwright]] still around? She used to make cider in the autumn. I swear, she kept us like a pack of strays."

I sigh. "No, I mean this thing." I run my hand over my body. "Besides, you know I can't go back there." I straighten the leather wrap around my Tex-foundry rifle.

"You know I literally tune myself, right?" asks the [[Exo]] [[Hunter]].

"Why? You're immortal."

"And you're not?"

"I know, but I'm… slower. I feel slower."

"Uh huh."

"Just not like what I used to feel like. Not… spry. Not up here either." I tap my helmet.

"Tragedy. I feel for you. Have [[Gilgamesh]] tune you then."

I chuckle. "Yeah… he'd love that."

"You two having issues again?"

I shake my head in a stiff, narrow lie. "You think we come back the same every time?"

"I do. Straight from the manufacturer ," Gaelin-4 says.

"Sometimes I get the feeling… something's different."

Gaelin stops and squints at me.

I dip my head and let my hood fall forward. "Nothing I can put my finger on, just little things. Adjustments."

"You think he's changing you?" Gaelin's voice sounds more serious than surprised.

I wait too long to answer. It's not because I don't know my answer, but because I want to feel like I still doubt it. I raise my head. Gaelin meets my eyes and looks up to the canopy.

He leans his shoulder into me and drops his voice to a whisper. "My [[Clip]]'s a good one, but you need to realize Ghosts don't know anything. Nobody does. They're just like us. They get curious. They question. If you think something's coming unwound, you need to sit down and talk it out."

"Wait… did Clip change yo—"

"Please," Gaelin scoffs. "You're paranoid." He turns to keep walking and calls back, "Life changes you. Same with them. I'm the only one that stays the same."

Gaelin raises a fist and we stop. His war beast sniffs the air and turns us east. We continue walking.

"What'd you name the beast?"

"[[Castus]]."

"You've been reading too many of the [[The Spider|Spider]]'s books ."

"Some of 'em are good."

I laugh. "Aren't you the man that said anything you got tying you down can be made into a noose?"

"Yeah, some time ago."

"You've been taking a lot of jobs with him ? Those [[Fallen]]?"

"You're one to talk, [[Emperor Calus|Emperor]]'s lackey . Some of those Eliksni aren't so bad."

-'''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.
