For those who come from Warframe: Descendant = Warframe Module Socket = Polarity [item] Crystallization Catalyst = Forma [item] Energy Activators = Blue&Gold potato

[@Response1980]

Right 😂😂😂

[@mercerwing1458]

It's like they aren't even trying to hide that they copy and pasted it.

[@neoconker2k8]

They fused the potatoes 😍

[@doxorn]

Almost forgot! Kuiper Shard = Endo 1:1

[@BrettMurphynorthps]

Warframe vets will never struggle with this concept

[@KrystalWolf24]

With every day I like this game more and more, it’s low key addicting

[@KrakkenXXX]

Yes it is

[@CarnageTheory]

It is addicting. And amazing, visually. Unfortunately the shop is just as ultra-predatory as you can get. $24 bucks for a potato, or locked behind the type of scavenger hunt nonsense that NOBODY that plays this type of game is interested in is just... I don't know, unfortunate I guess. Par for the course with Nexon, I suppose.

[@EmvyBeats]

@@CarnageTheory im guessing events will help this situation.. or im hoping. fingers crossed

[@taylorsps12]

Likely. Warframe was same way. Formal and potatoes were crazy hard to get first year of warframe. Not like now where you have tons

[@ballisticvorhees2360]

@@taylorsps12 that was 10yrs ago, speak for now

[@Proficiency24]

Just to be clear, in case someone misunderstands Mastery Rank. It doesn't give you more capacity overall. It just means you get that much capacity even if your character or weapon is only level 1. The mod capacity benefits cap at Mastery Rank 20, so if you hit MR 20 and get a new character or weapon at level 1, you will have max capacity on them already, without having to level them to 40 to reach it. MR just gives you that capacity early, it doesn't add anything extra.

[@TurtleGamerDish]

Kinda dumb

[@itsreapernecrosis2215]

​@TurtleGamerDish it's better than the alternative where you reset your character and have to start ALL over. Warframe used to do that until they made this quality of life change for the MR vets. It was a good quality of life change that then, TFD just copied over.

[@KingChambers]

@@itsreapernecrosis2215if you “restart” your character you keep everything but your level. The gains when you level up are very very small after you reset

[@SorrowsPeace]

@@itsreapernecrosis2215No they never changed anything i’m warframe for that QoL. I am Legendary Rank 3 and you still have to hit MR30 to get max capacity without having to reset the level. So no clue what you’re talking about because the system is exactly the same in both games. You just only need to get to 20 in this game.

[@itsreapernecrosis2215]

@SorrowsPeace yah buddy that was an update in warframe they did years ago, when the game first came out and for several years, that wasn't a thing, MR did not give you a head start on mod capacity.

[@tedbosquez19]

Didn’t know about Enzo … that tip has saved my controller from a violent death … you saved a controller life today amigo …

[@drizzydaniell6907]

On ps5 it’s imposible the green bar it’s so small just wanted 4 keys. Smh

[@MangoHero247]

[@Enlightenment99]

I thought they were impossible based on people’s thoughts but when I did it, they weren’t too bad. I’ll probably get Enzo so it becomes trivial.

[@ShadowPhoenix82]

@@drizzydaniell6907 yeah, I used two of those keys, and then found out about Enzo and just decided in my head "fuck those chests". Found one on the red sphere level and I'm DEFINITELY not going back for that one. I don't want to consider that MegaMan level exists any more.

You are the goat man it does work thank u 👊

Is this why I couldn’t open them ? I clicked it in the right space over and over and it wouldn’t register my click. I wasted all my Keys doing my first one because it wouldn’t click it all….so I can have to downgrade my fps just to do them ?

[@JinxyZombieHyperdrive]

Hi Moxsy. I just found your channel in my recommended! So glad the skynet lead me here!. I just started First Descendant and been loving it . This information is absolutely amazing . This is gonna help me alot. In fact I already expanded my module capacity. Thanks for this! Subscribed and liked !

[@SuperMegaDragonKiller]

Managed 50hrs in the last week and had no idea about these topics. Glad you covered it.

[@NovaSkiesx]

I've been following Moxsy since his earliest Borderlands videos. Honestly such a cool guy and always doing his best at providing great builds or tips/tricks videos. He's come so far. Proud of him! 🥺

[@lukeskyflocka2114]

Pls keep doing walkthroughs for this game about all these game mechanics, you've helped us out on borderlands so much! Keep up the amazing work 👍

[@jokerx2569]

First off I appreciate your videos. I found you on Twitch and have become a fan almost instantly. Thank you for your time and effort to make quality videos which are simple and easy to follow. Second - in this video, you said that the Encrypted Vaults have a sound and that you can't hear the direction but if you're looking in the direction you can hear the ringing. I kept that in mind when I was playing with my wife earlier and noticed that when I did come into contact with one - the sound, for me, was directional. In my defense, I have the Razer Black Shark Pro V2 wired, which are capable of 7.1 surround sound and I also have Dolby Atmos Sound on. I could actually pinpoint the direction. looking and pinging is still a thing but while I was following it the sound in my ear cups was legit guiding me in the direction of the vault. I hope this helps you and others that come and see this video for help.

[@HideInYou_Val]

You’ve helped me out a lot getting through the game so, thank you

Thank you for this. Learned a few new things, had no idea about the ping sound, I thought I just had to scour the whole map for them. And never knew what those little blue holograms were either.

I'm not doggin' the game because I actually quite like it but I find it hilarious that Nexon was just like "hey, let's take all of the systems from Warframe and remake them into our own game."

[@oathtaker_dg]

They said let's take all of Warframe's systems and put them in a Korean 3rd person Destiny.

[@tVision.]

No seriously it’s almost like parallel games. MR21 wf -I like it but it’s not better in my OPINION

[@oathtaker_dg]

@tVision. The game has potential but it's not anywhere near warframes level of customization, builds, and content. Granted one is an 11 year old game but TFD has had the ability to be new after games like Warframe paved the way.

[@_Wolf_x]

​@@oathtaker_dg So sad they made it a pain in the ass of a grind compared to today's Warframe. You can clearly see which is made with love and passion and which is made only to get your money lol

[@pjstartv6798]

@@oathtaker_dg That's the problem with Warframe and why I rarely touch it anymore, it's just gotten bloated with too much content. I know, a strange thing to hear someone say these days but that's the main reason that me and my friends don't play it anymore after years of playing it early on.

Looks Moxsy next video will be how to quickly and efficiently farm Enzo 😀 But in all seriousness Great video and thank you so much for all that you do for the gaming community. Looking forward to your next First Descendant video.

[@techtoth1]

Thx 4 the vid! Super useful. Consideration: this game is really cryptic and complicated in some regards; very good for longevity, very bad for inexperienced players, who get overwhelmed with a ton of things. Imho I think they should have implemented a guiding system. On the other hand we have you, content creators, to help us through... 😊😊😊

[@techtoth1]

Off topic question: to get the 140% increased skill damage from your reactors you have to match the weapon, but: is it sufficient to equip it in one of the 3 weapon slots, or do you actually have to be using it? Looks like the first case, but just to be safe than sorry... Thanks a ton!

[@SkeletonMan001]

I’m so glad I played warframe and learned modding from that Made it much easier to understand modding in the first descendants XD

[@omnisighted5996]

Moxsy! IDK if anyone knows this out even noticed but using a crystallization catalyst also gives you plus 2 cost for more mods and upgrades!

[@bcarp3]

I’m literally miles ahead of everyone thanks to your tips and have basically been solo this whole time. I just need some help farming gold amorphous mats rn since my bunny build isn’t fully maxed on def and hp components so the missions are a pain when you get the boss down to 20% just to die and restart the whole fight lol plus the boss takes longer than the entire misssion up to that point

[@TheChillestEver]

Thanks

[@fredericbrasseur7399]

OMG, Enzo makes the mini game so much easier, I did an ultra precise one without Enzo and I ended up eating my freaking fingers...

[@2MuchQuenton]

This game feels like an absolute breath of fresh air. Already put 35 hours into this game in just 3 days. Let’s just pray it will be like war frame and instead of making you pay for new quests you can just play it

[@zilas7057]

5:31 was so funny, contagious laughter hahaha

[@TurntGully]

you have instructed me on how to play the game more than the game itself did. lol

[@Bboyscico]

Did this before the video came out with my homies yesterday. Pretty sure there will be this video when we talked about it yesterday. I mean if you got keys yall be getting 150k++ kuiper in less than 15 minutes or more depending the vault you got. Agna dessert and white gulch was the best one while farming for gley/ult weapons

[@Madnsanity]

Holy f*ck man it's waaaaaay easier with Enzo, glad I watched this and didn't waste more of these high grade keys! Great video!

[@jrod7929]

Getting Enzo immediately 😆

[@y0shii154]

Love your videos ❤ how do you add health and shield numbers by the bar?

[@Moxsy]

It's in the settings option under display I believe

[@Abbe10able]

Finally i know the reason for those symbols on the floor, lost so many chances to open those vaults 😅

[@itsreapernecrosis2215]

Realizing this stuff in warframe 11 years ago is what got me addicted to that game in the first place. Im sure it will be the same for alot of people in this game lol its a really good build diversity concept.

[@dizzyheads]

Yeah when i saw how much you get from ultra precision i immediately thought i was going to be doing this and need enzo

[@Jsobone]

I don't have enzo, but I will be looking to get these items soon.

[@hegno3193]

yeah i''ve been doing this ever since I've got enzo. I'm kuiper rich but dead ass broke at the same time since maxing one mod takes like 2-3m+ gold

[@jonm3830]

10/10 info

[@aevum_iu]

Holy shit.. so we need enzo. I just spent 3 or 4 ultra yesterday and my palm so sweating. Damn, the game should explain better! Nice tips bro! 👍

[@ink3478]

I guess you could say they tried to explain it better with a robot who literally doesn’t speak any language only beeps and subtitles that scroll faster than the flash.

[@dariusnaderpour]

Now that you've come out with better farm locations, would those ones be better at getting the code breakers?

[@YoloVib3s]

Hey bro, I’ve been loving concert you’ve been putting up. I do have a special request if possible. Can you please do a comparison between base bunny and ultimate bunny? I just want to see if it’s worth getting ultimate bunny before I upgrade polarity.

[@athistim]

A quick tip for those who don't know a simple and easy way to level up descendants fast is to play operations. In albion when you spawn in go forward and turn left towards the mail box and in the alcove between the mail box and the prime hands where you level up your mastery is a hub with an icon you can go and access once youve completed all missions in the kingston zone. Just jump into any public operation and by fighting the waves everybody gets xp when ever an enemy dies and youll get put in with some high level descendants or people with strong gear so the first checkpoint reward is usually a breeze but youll be getting a ton of xp a long the way. I used this to level my newly unlocked descendants I dont plan to main to 40 real quick for a bunch of mastery XP. You can easily go 1-40 in around an hour if you spam these.

[@bladex5982]

It's like watching the beginning of warframe all over again

[@vezrien]

God I need that grapple hook mod.

[@kylebengzon5412]

Orokin Reactor, Orokin Catalyst, and Forma 👍

[@creatia835]

Just a heads up if you put a catalyst on the melee mod it will then increase it by another 5 for a total of 15 extra module capacity instead of 10. I dont know how usefull this information will be but i just figured this out last night

[@Sora5221]

Super useful. It did not do this in the beta, so I was going to skip this for TFD

[@Proficiency24]

Not that useful, tbh. Think about it. Most max rank mods cost 12-16. If you halve a 12 cost, you're saving 6 mod capacity. Which is 1 more than just adding 5. Matching a symbol on a 16 cost saves you 8, so it's honestly one of the least valuable places to use your resources on. Look at what mods you're using and how much they cost at max rank. Prioritize cutting those in half over adding the 5.

[@itsreapernecrosis2215]

It's always been useful. If you catalyst your character up to make a build, it will save you from using extra ones, which will make your build more flexible. If you catalyst every slot, but still want to change 1 or 2 mods every now and then, but you've put a catalyst slot on almost all or all mod socket, your build will be narrowed from changing to too many different other mods because they'll cost extra for putting them in the wrong spot, making them not fit. It's essential to think about for endgame building.

[@jormungandr4690]

Its worse than halfing other mods cost in half. This should be your last catalyst you put on.

[@GeassX]

​@jormungandr4690 it's only useful if you ever switch mods around. If you have one build and that's it, then no reason to forma that slot unless you need the extra capacity to fit everything, even with the rest of the slots forma'd.

[@CWalkCRIME]

After 100 hours of playing, this is where I learned that the beacon has a sound signal and what the signal on the ground is for. 😂

[@clwaschkowsky]

Another Golden tip is if you do the Calling of the Descendant quests (The Dungeons) on Hard Mode in the right areas you'll get these drops as well So if you don't have Enzo you can still farm these

[@sakugam]

Without Enzo, area in which you need to click in ultra precision, is too small and due to fast movement arrow, you most likely will fail at most times.

[@candainruto7729]

And this is why I’m still using commons, gotta max em out and get rid of em permanently. Only got two left

[@dahlecho4914]

Moxsy can u do a vid explaining what each char is good at? Like whose a weapons platform, whose fir bossing etc.

[@Label07]

That mini-game is straight BS. It should just give some and a bonus IF we win the mini-game.

[@masterofbloopers]

You can tell who has played Warframe and who hasn't based on how quickly they understand the module system. My veteran Warframe knowledge has helped me so far, though I am currently getting filtered by Dead Bride.

[@callsign_cloudy]

Just to clarify for those wondering, the special enemies with the orange names are the only ones that drop analyzers/breakers. Any mission that spawns a lot of those is a good farm for them, not just the sterile lands mission.

[@NimeniAltu91]

Once you put a socket type on, and later on you don't need it anymore, can you replace it? Does it mean I have to use another catalyst and reduce my lvl to 1 again ?

[@rickyjanzen6684]

Got 1 of each of these from the story. Figured they'd be difficult to earn, so haven't applied them until I know exactly what I want them on, but sheesh this looks rough. Definitely something for me not to eorry about for a while (I'm just ready to kill the Devourer, I think).

[@Minhyuk-One]

It's barely noticeable unless you're standing right next to/on top of them, but the pings from the vaults do 'kinda' get louder as you get closer

[@dannyjasin]

So many questions answered. 😅

[@EuphMan55xx]

Thank you for speaking in 'warframe.' New game = new learning curve. LOL!

[@Smith-ft3uw]

Enzo slows down the meter and makes the space wayyy bigger. Others are super fast n small.
