Intro
The Destiny 2 community recently uncovered a secret leading to the new Exotic Scout Rifle — Dead Man’s Tale.
Dead Man’s Tale is the first and only 120 RPM Scout Rifle in Destiny 2 and, like the Hawkmoon, it features randomized perks.
This weapon is both fun and effective, thanks to its unique perk Cranial Spike, which increases damage and reload speed for each consecutive precision hit. This provides solid DPS in PvE activities and even allows for two-tap kills in the Crucible with the right perks.
How to Obtain Dead Man’s Tale
The only way to obtain Dead Man’s Tale is by unlocking and completing the Exotic mission The Presage. Your first completion grants a rifle with the Transformative perk, meaning future drops will have random rolls. You can replay The Presage weekly for another roll and a Pinnacle Gear reward.
Task | Description |
---|---|
Unlock The Presage | Complete a quest in The Arms Dealer strike and visit Zavala. |
First Completion | Guaranteed Dead Man’s Tale with the Transformative perk. |
Weekly Completions | Obtain another Dead Man’s Tale with random rolls and a Pinnacle Gear reward. |
How to Unlock The Presage Mission
Step 1: The Arms Dealer Strike
- Launch The Arms Dealer strike on EDZ.
- Clear the first room, but instead of hacking the left door, go through the newly opened door.
- Defeat the Scorpio Turrets and mini-boss.
- On the second platform, enter the box and interact with the datapad to obtain a quest item.
- Exit the strike and proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Visit Commander Zavala
- Bring the quest item to Commander Zavala in the Tower to receive The Voice on the Other Side quest, unlocking The Presage mission.
About The Presage Mission
Once you receive the quest from Zavala, The Presage mission appears on Tangled Shore.
The Presage is an exciting mission featuring puzzles and challenging fights. Unlike other Exotic missions such as Whisper of the Worm or Zero Hour, The Presage has no time limit, so take your time and explore every corner.
Tips for The Presage
- Blind playthrough recommended: The mission’s design and atmosphere make it a masterpiece.
- Bring a Fireteam: While solo runs are possible, having friends makes the experience smoother.
Final Step: Return to the Tower
After completing The Presage, visit Commander Zavala to finish the quest and claim your first Dead Man’s Tale. You can now replay The Presage weekly for:
- Another Dead Man’s Tale with different perks
