Exploring the Weapon System and Farming Elements in ‘First Descendant’: A Guide for Root Shooter Fans

‘First Descendant’ Launches Cross-Play Open Beta, Provides Weapon Guide for Fans

In the latest update from ‘First Descendant’, the highly anticipated cross-play open beta has been released, along with a comprehensive weapons guide for eager fans. This guide not only covers the new weapon system introduced in ‘First Descendant’, but also delves into the intriguing farming elements that root shooter enthusiasts are eager to explore.

Undeniably, one of the most sought-after features in a root shooter game is a well-designed farming system known as ‘grinding’. Regardless of individual preferences, it is evident that this aspect always takes precedence. It comes as no surprise that farming serves as the defining characteristic of a root shooter game.

In the realm of trail shooter games, firearms play a pivotal role, and various systems associated with firearms reflect the breadth of the gameplay. The notion of ‘Borderlands’ boasting over a billion guns may be an outdated marketing phrase, but it continues to resonate with fervent root shooter fans, capturing their hearts.

The equipment in ‘First Descendant’ primarily consists of weapons, reactors, and external parts (accessories). Our focus today will be on the weapons. The First Descendant offers a selection of four types of burst firearms, two types of single-shot shotguns, three types of high-powered bullet firearms, and finally, a beam rifle. However, detailed data on these weapons is currently unavailable.

All equipment, including weapons, is categorized into four levels: common, rare, ultimate, and transcendence. As the level increases, so does the stats and value. In this cross-play open beta, an additional 10 ultimate weapons will be unveiled, some of which come with unique abilities that set them apart.

One such ultimate weapon showcased in the guide is the ‘Prayer’, endowed with the ability to reduce the base accuracy rate. However, each time a beneficial effect is applied to an ally, it grants a ‘Reflect’ effect to the wielder. This effect offers increased protection for a designated duration and stacks accordingly.

Players can easily verify the unique abilities through the item tooltip, enabling them to access precise information regarding the unique ability affix and the values associated with it. These abilities are not static and evolve dynamically as the unique ability strengthens. Naturally, the more potent the wielder becomes, the more powerful their weapon becomes.

Enhancing unique abilities requires Mastery Rank 7, along with a weapon of the same type as the one being enhanced. The drop rate of rare items remains unknown for now, but improving the unique abilities of these items will undoubtedly prove crucial in the final stages of the game. Unique abilities can be utilized up to four times, with some affixes remaining unchanged regardless of the item.

Furthermore, the game introduces a weapon level transmission system that expands the scope of farming. This feature allows players to transfer the level of a higher-ranked weapon to a lower-ranked one, greatly increasing the weapon’s attack power. To execute this transfer, players must possess a crafting material called ‘Phase Substitute’. It has been confirmed that the transfer is feasible regardless of the firearm type.

‘First Descendant’ bestows players with ownership of three guns. Utilizing the aforementioned system, users can not only configure their firepower with their desired firearms, but also equip more potent weapons. Particularly for endgame content like interceptions (raids), adapting to various growth paths of equipment within the game is undoubtedly an essential aspect.

In conclusion, ‘First Descendant’ is making waves with its cross-play open beta, captivating fans with its diverse range of weapons and intriguing farming elements. As players embark on their quest for dominance, they can now rely on this comprehensive guide to navigate the intricacies of the game and enhance their overall gaming experience.

[게임플] ‘First Descendant’ left the cross-play open beta and released a weapons guide for descendants. This guide includes the new weapon system from ‘First Descendant’ and the farming elements that root shooter fans will be most curious about.

Probably what fans want most in a root shooter game is a tight configuration of the farming system called ‘grinding’. Even among various tastes, it is clear that this will always be ranked first. It goes without saying that farming is a root shooter’s biggest identity.

In a trail shooter game, a firearm is a weapon, and various systems related to firearms represent the breadth of the game. The meme that there are over a billion guns in ‘Borderlands’ is an outdated marketing phrase, but it still shakes the hearts of root shooter fans.

The equipment of the ‘First Descendant’ is largely divided into weapons, reactors, and external parts (accessories). What we are going to look at this time is also the weapon. The weapon types of the First Descendant are four types of burst firearms, two types of single shot shotguns, three types of firearms that use high powered bullets, and finally a beam rifle. Detailed data of the entire weapon has not been released at this time.

All equipment, including weapons, is divided into four levels: common, rare, ultimate, and transcendence. The higher the level, the higher the stats and value. In this cross-play open beta, 10 additional ultimate weapons will be revealed. Some of the ultimate weapons are endowed with different unique abilities.

The unique ability of ‘Prayer’, the ultimate weapon revealed in the guide, is ‘Prayer’, which reduces the base accuracy rate, but whenever you apply a beneficial effect to an ally, it gives a ‘Reflect’ effect for yourself. This effect increases protection for a certain amount of time and stacks.

You can check the unique ability through the item tooltip, and you can also check the exact value of the unique ability affix. The unique ability is not fixed, and the duration and progress change dynamically by strengthening the unique ability. Of course, the stronger you are, the stronger your weapon becomes.

Mastery Rank 7 is required to enhance unique abilities, and the same weapon as the weapon you want to enhance with the material is required. Nothing is known about the drop rate of rare items yet, but it seems that improving the unique abilities of rare items will be an important part of final content. Unique abilities can be used up to 4 times, and some affixes don’t change depending on the item.

There is also a weapon level transmission system that will further expand the farming range. Weapon level transfer is a function that transfers the level of a higher level weapon to a lower level weapon. Weapon attack power increases greatly with level succession. In order to succeed, you need a crafting material called ‘Phase Substitute’. It is also confirmed that a transfer is possible regardless of the type of firearm.

In ‘First Descendant’, the heir owns 3 guns. Users can use the system presented above not only to configure firepower with the desired firearms, but also to equip more powerful weapons. In particular, for end content such as interception (raid), it is anticipated that it will be important to follow various growth paths of equipment in the game.
