[YeezyGT's S15] (PvE / PvP): [MW: Range/Stability] "Hailing Confusion is a sleeper pick that was somewhat left behind after Beyond Light's launch. It's the only 390RPM Kinetic Pulse Rifle, so if you're a fan of Forge's Pledge / Last Perdition / Third Axiom - here's one for the Kinetic slot. Good feeling gun, puts in a lot of work in both modes, with some nice recoil and perks like Surplus/Quickdraw that help in general combat."
