pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "False Promises is a returning auto rifle from yesteryear. It's a High-Impact frame with decent handling but pretty poor stability. There's not a lot you can do to improve that outside of directly investing or giving up a perk like Feeding Frenzy for Dynamic Sway Reduction. I wouldn't advise it unless you have a really hard time controlling the recoil. Cascade Point and Headseeker provide alternating utility through increasing rpm without a damage penalty or Stasis synergy. Depending on your build I'd personally go with Cascade Point because it feels more fun." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "Over in PvP False Promises has a bit more of a leg up. High damage per shot paired with a high range stat will cover most maps outside of scout rifle ranges. Cascade Point shows up here again as the firing delay is a whopping 40% dropping the time to kill from 0.83s to 0.50s. The requirements for a kill don't change at 6c but being far faster will catch people by surprise." Recommended MW: Stability.
