Treat it like a sidegrade to Golden Tricorn. It's a weaker damage buff, but less restrictive and easier to maintain.

Golden Tricorn:
* T1 grants a 15% damage buff from weapon kills
* Weapon kills will refresh the T1 buff
* T2 grants a 50% damage buff from ability kills while T1 is active
* ONLY Ability kills can refresh the T2 buff

Desperate Measures:
* T1 grants a 10% damage buff from weapon kills
* T2 grants a 20% damage buff from ability kills
* T3 grants a 30% damage buff if you proc T2 while T1 is active, or vice versa
* ANY kill will refresh the buff's current damage tier

Correction: T3 can only be procced if you get an Ability kill while T2 is already active. All that Weapon kills do is proc the T1 buff and refresh the duration. It should also be noted that unpowered melees count as Ability kills for Desperate Measures, whereas I'm pretty sure that they don't for Golden Tricorn. ALSO the buff can be activated and refreshed while the weapon is stowed, which is pretty neat.

This perk's got a few moving parts to it, but it ultimately gives 10, 20, and 30% extra damage at x1, x2, and x3 stacks respectively. From what I can tell, the weapon can only get the perk to x1. Melee and grenade kills bump it from 0 to x2, or from x2 to x3. Kills from any of these sources refresh the timer, which is 7-8 seconds. You can basically ramp it up with melees and grenade kills and use the gun itself to keep it going, and the timer's more generous than Rampage.

The reason why Desperate measure is so good is that it proc even when stowed like Frenzy.
But unlike Frenzy you don't have to wait 12 seconds and it even works on unpowered melee kills.

Literally bonk/punch with Synthos/Wormgods titans can sustain this forever and pull out their Desperate measures gun if they don't feel like punching things that explode in their face or it is too far away.
Desperate Measures also synergizes very well with demolitionist and the indomitable origin perk.

Frenzy will still outpace this Desperate Measure once melee/grenade kills don't one shot efficiently and facing bosses but for 95% of content?
Desperate Measures can put in work. And yes it is horrifying in PVP with HCs too, only thing stopping it is there is no shotguns with it yet.
