What you need to know
Following the February 16, 2021 weekly reset of Destiny 2, a new Exotic kinetic scout rifle called Dead Man’s Tale was released. Additionally, the first step of the weapon’s quest, Presage, became available. To get it, load into The Arms Dealer Nightfall Strike and instead of going left after the first corner as usual, go right instead and through the open door to where turrets are set up. Follow the path until you reach a storage crate that you can obtain a signal from. Take the signal to Zavala at The Tower to start the quest.
The Dead Man’s Tale is quite the looker as far as Exotics go. Between its wood and metal chassis and the decorative golden trims, it’s a very sleek weapon. The Exotic perk, Cranial Spike, makes it so that landing chains of precision hits rewards you with improved damage and reload speed. Notably, there’s also a visible random rolls perk column like there was for Season of the Hunt’s Hawkmoon Exotic hand cannon. There’s also a catalyst slot on the weapon, so you’ll probably be able to get a catalyst later inSeason of the Chosen,
