Xur's inventory this week includes two of the rarer Destiny 2 Exotics, Hawkmoon and Dead Man's Tale, two weapons that were previously available from seasonal quests and challenging missions. While Xur has other Exotic gear for sale--such as Sunshot and Lucky Pants--these two items are well worth acquiring.

Dead Man's Tale is a lever-action scout rifle that combines classic style with satisfying perks if you're talented at landing headshots, while Hawkmoon is a hand cannon from the original Destiny that has been given a new lease on life in Destiny 2. The quests for both weapons are no longer active, due to the removal of the Tangled Shore location in Destiny 2. These Exotics are somewhat unique because you could previously run their missions again and again to receive new versions of the guns with different, random perks. While the missions are gone, you can still get randomized versions of Hawkmoon and Dead Man's Tale from Xur, who offers a new roll on the guns each week.

This week's roll of Dead Man's Tale has the Vorpal Weapon perk, which increases damage against bosses and Guardians using their Super abilities, while the Hawkmoon on offer is equipped with Eye of the Storm. That particular trait makes the weapon more accurate the lower your health is, which works well with setting up the hand cannon's powerful Paracausal Shot ability, which gives you a big-damage blast once you've landed some precision shots.
