  Antedate's frame intrinsic doesn't offer any specific benefit other than just being "well-rounded". The stats are good by comparison with its peers, and they're helped further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/2725426834 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. From @mossy_max's spreadsheet (https://destiny2.science/reserves), base mag size is 36 (max 41). Use the barrel perk to try and improve handling or, maybe something to help control recoil on Controller. You have the full range of combat effect magazine perks to choose from, or look for one that helps with reload. For a general purpose roll, in the first trait perk column, Rewind Rounds refills 60% of hits landed (70% when enhanced) from reserves to keep you shooting for longer. For damage, Target Lock pairs well for up to ×1.4 damage at 110.33% of base magazine capacity on repeated hits within 0.2s of each other. But you can take your pick of the second column perks - Frenzy's boosting Handling and Reload Speed by +100 and damage by ×1.15 for a refreshable 7.2s - after being in combat for 12s - that's dealing or taking damage, Paracausal Affinity's ×1.2 damage boost for 6s after any kill of a light energy type, or Master of Arms's ×1.15 damage for 7s (8s enhanced) after a kill with any weapon, with a second stack of ×1.25 for 4s (5s enhanced) on any kills with the first stack active. The Frame of Reference Origin Trait stacks up to ×5 times on kills, providing up to ×1.07 damage and boosts to Reload Speed and Range for 8s, with the timer pausing when the weapon's stowed. If you're interested, "antedate" means to come before something in time. Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod/enhanced mod to boost mag size, weapon stats, ammo regeneration, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.

Use the barrel perk to try and improve handling or, maybe something to help control recoil on Controller. You have the full range of combat effect magazine perks to choose from, or look for one that helps with reload. For Arc builds, in the first trait perk column Rolling Storm generates a stack of Bolt Charge (2 when Amplified) on a kill, to trigger a lightning bolt at ×10 stacks for both target and AoE damage. You can pair this with a second column damage perk such as Frenzy to boost Handling and Reload Speed by +100 and damage by ×1.15 for a refreshable 7.2s after being in combat for 12s - that's dealing or taking damage. Alternatively, Paracausal Affinity boosts damage by ×1.2 for 6s after any kill of a light energy type, or Master of Arms boosts damage by ×1.15 for 7s (8s when enhanced) after a kill with any weapon, with a second stack of ×1.25 for 4s (5s enhanced) on any kills with the first stack active.

You have the full range of combat effect magazine perks to choose from, or look for one that helps with reload. For a Jack-of-all-trades roll to synergise with Arc builds, in the first trait perk column when you're up against Minor adds, Rolling Storm generates a stack of Bolt Charge (2 when Amplified) on a kill, to trigger a lightning bolt at ×10 stacks for both target and AoE damage. Then, in the second column, use Jolting Feedback to apply Jolt after 18 hits (17 when enhanced and 13 when Amplified) to tougher enemies who can survive the weapon damage, triggering chain lightning on further hits for more target and AoE damage. The Frame of Reference Origin Trait stacks up to ×5 times on kills, providing up to ×1.07 damage and boosts to Reload Speed and Range for 8s, with the timer pausing when the weapon's stowed.
