'''Dead Man's Tale''' is a [[Exotic]] [[Scout rifle]] that can be acquired from the completion of the [[The Voice on the Other Side]] [[Quest]].
'''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.

*'''Accurized Rounds:''' This weapon can fire longer distances.
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.

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.

==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.
