Should You Frame the Pykes or the Crimson Dawn
Whether you choose to frame the Pykes or the Crimson Dawn depends on which faction you prefer.
Reputation rewards for the Crimson Dawn include the Crimson Reign gear set which, when equipped increases your ability to avoid detection, greatly increasing your stealth capabilities. This reward is very much worth it as stealth makes up a significant portion of Outlaws.
On the other hand, Reputation rewards for the Pyke Syndicate include the Imperial Disguise gear Set, which has great utility as equipping it lets you travel through Imperial controlled territories undetected.
You can also decide based on which faction you’re on worse terms with at the moment. As being on good terms with all factions will make your life much easier.
