What does Dead Man's Tale do?

Dead Man's Tale Exotic scout rifle with perks

The Dead Human being's Tale is a 120 RPM sentry rifle, making it unique to Destiny 2. The Dead Man's Tale is Kinetic.

Its Exotic perk is Cranial Spike, which causes multiple precision hits in a row to deal increased damage and improve reload speed. The Dead Man's Tale also has the Transformative perk, similar to Hawkmoon. This is a placeholder perk, and players demand to run the Presage mission again to re-earn Dead Homo'southward Tale with random perks like Outlaw or Vorpal Weapon. It looks similar you can go two Dead Man'southward Tales with random roles per-character per-week.

Expressionless Man's Tale too has a Catalyst in the game files, but information technology'south currently unavailable. It's unclear when Bungie will unlock the Main version of the mission — a higher difficulty — but it seems likely the Dead Homo's Tale Catalyst will come from that.
