Hi there. Here is what Bungie has written on the topic: [quote]Players who are encountering issues with acquiring the Dead Man's Tale or its catalyst should make sure to do the following: 1. If you originally acquired the quest on another character make sure you have reacquired the quest from the Quest Archive on your current character. If the quest is not in your inventory you will be unable to acquire the weapon. 2. Upon completing the activity make sure you pick up the weapon and wait until the mission end timer appears before leaving the activity. Keep in mind there is a longer delay between grabbing the weapon and the timer appearing. [b]If you leave before the timer, or do not pick up the weapon, you will be locked out from acquiring the weapon until the next weekly reset.[/b] After successfully acquiring the weapon and waiting for the mission end timer to appear, players will need to visit Zavala to receive the weapon.[/quote] https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/258395951?sort=0&page=0 Hope this helps.

Did you have the catalyst quest in that character’s inventory when doing master presage?

Happened to me several times when it first started, took me 4 completions before it dropped. Make sure you arnt leaving before the end mission timer starts or it doesnt count it as a completion or reward the catalyst.
