[YeezyGT's S15] (PvE): [MW: Stability / Reload Speed] "False Promises is a late bloomer. Four seasons later, with Anti-Barrier Auto Rifle being the [only] AB mod, 360RPMs have the blend of range + damage potential that's needed for high-level content to occupy the space usually reserved for Scout Rifles. You're unlikely to need an additional Range bump - invest in Stability to allow for consistent shooting, and False Promises is blessed with a good stock recoil direction as-is. I feel as though Rampage isn't a huge help, given the slow time-to-kill on 360RPMs and short Rampage duration (3s), though would hold onto a roll anyway."

(PvE): Mercules904 (pretty good PvE) - "What a great gun! I've been waiting for a Legendary High-Impact AR that felt like SUROS Regime with Dual Speed Receiver, and I think we've finally found one. Stat-wise it suffers from most of the same drawbacks that the other high impacts do, poor stability, low aim assist and handling, but for some reason the return to center speed of the reticle is much faster than I'm used to on the others guns in the archetype (like Halfdan) and so the low stability doesn't seem to have much of an effect of the usability of the weapon."
