Creator code: creators.nexon.com/s/laserbol...
In this video, I share 10 crucial tips and tricks for players of "The First Descendant" that I wish I knew sooner. These tips are designed to enhance the gameplay experience for both newcomers and seasoned players. Here’s a concise overview of my advice:
Master Ranks: I emphasize the importance of unlocking master ranks as soon as possible to access unique upgrades and expand inventory slots for weapons, consumables, and more.
Inventory Management: I recommend using the filter to manage weapons effectively, keeping only those that meet or exceed your level to avoid clutter.
Weapon Proficiency: I suggest utilizing a variety of weapon types to increase proficiency levels, which contribute to overall mastery and unlock better equipment.
Module Optimization: I advise equipping recommended modules to improve weapon performance significantly, which can be crucial for completing missions efficiently.
Reactor Optimization: I explain how to choose and optimize reactors according to your character’s skills and the weapons used, maximizing game performance and effectiveness.

I always pick up all weapons even low level ones when I help others cause I can still junk them for gold so I never adjust to only pickup higher level weapons.

[@christianambrose4941]

Something that I wish I knew earlier: when spending $$ for caliber to buy a character you really want to play immediately, the caliber doesn't automatically show up like the other resources you pickup while running around. There is some sort of Inbox accessible through your Inventory screen (I think) at the bottom left of the screen, that you click on to retrieve your caliber. I was very upset last night after playing with friends for a couple hours, waiting for my caliber to show up, until one of us finally figured this out. 9-(

[@RAiNNNY2k11]

On the Reactor were it says Reached/Missed - if you have the Optimization Condition reached you will get 140% Skill Power. For example you dont have the Assault Rifle equipped, you will only get the 100% from the Missed. Your Character Level dont matter there.

[@Syzygycollapse]

The missed skill power on reactors shows that it only operates at 100% if you miss the condition ie no assault rifle 100%, with assault rifle 140%

[@ThrakazogZ]

The junk filter needs to automatically disassemble weapons (etc.) under a certain level, instead of not picking them up. For a game all about farming materials, you really don't want to leave all those materials behind.

[@guyonbench]

Right? That second "tip" is a trap to just screw you over and slow you down later. Take the extra 5 seconds to hold shit then hold control.

[@Stunology-_-]

Great video but can you tell us what does the extra stats on guns do at the bottom like I’m guessing the gold and purple are the best/ better rolls and I know it’s all rng but what do we go for and what do we reroll? If so thank you!

[@xxblckheartxxyt5682]

In my opinion the lvl cap pickup for weapons is slowing u down in progress (i can be wrong.) but u need to destroy the junk to get "item parts" (sorry missing some words here... My english is not that good haha) to craft importent stuff to upgrade ur weapons... So the less weapons u pick up the less parts u will have later on. And u can lvl up the weapons (the actual lvl of the weapon) with a special material that u can craft out of the weapon matirials. (Sorry that sounds very confusing) So basically u can "destroy" junk weapons to get materials. These matirials u get from the weapons can them be craftet to an item with wich u can upgrade ur weapons. For example u got a lvl 12 weapon in ur inventory that u really like but u hit lvl 25. The lvl 12 weapon will have a DPS of 5386 than u can use the crafted item to increas the lvl of the weapon with one weapon out of ur inventory that dropped at weapon lvl 25. So u select ur lvl 12 weapon as the one to upgrade. Then u select the weapon from wich the lvl comes from. And then u need the craftet item to finish this proces. Then the lvl 12 weapon with the dps of 5386 will enhamce to a lvl 25 weapon with a dps of 12492. (The numbers are not real). Well i hope some one understands what im saying xD sorry guys

[@griffeth_xbox]

Don't filter weapons. Pick everything up. You will regret later game not having mats. Also, maybe in the beginning it's okay to auto equip mods, but also not recommended.

[@zacr8292]

@@griffeth_xbox doesn't the filter just mean it auto dismantles? Instead of just not picking it up?

[@griffeth_xbox]

@@zacr8292 You can, but it doesn't auto dismantle. It just "marks as junk" to make it faster dismantle all. With it marked as junk, missed loot was not being sent to missed loot for me. You will also want to babysit the levels (pre 100) and not just rarity. So you'll constantly be adjusting.

[@G_TheCursedMan]

Ive literally just been selling all my weapons and mods, didn't know if i could dismantle them for materials

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

2:51 Oh I didn't know weapons had stats. I was only using weapons with the highest damage number since that's what I saw

[@xxblckheartxxyt5682]

No hate... But I guess u shouldn't do a video like that if u don't know the game properly

[@G_Lo2]

For Standard rarity weapons, that's perfectly fine, just pick the highest level one. But once you start unlocking Rare's, that's when you're going to want to start looking at their rolls (stats) to determine which will be best suited for you. You're going to get tons of Standards, you can dismantle all but the highest, but for Rares, definitely look at rolls, as that's what's most important because you can always raise it's level up to make it better.

[@techtoth1]

Thx 4 the vid! Still a bit unsure about the reactors. For instance: playing Viessa (frost damage), I got a low level reactor with frost attribute, and a higher level one without frost. If I equip the latter, all the stats go up, which ideally should be the way to go, but, am I missing something regarding frost skills, then? Thanks, cheers!

[@Gnarkkotik_TTV]

@@techtoth1 hey that’s who I chose before I became nuke bunny(seriously I’m level 25 doing level 40 content with ease) yes just equip whatever boosts attributes it’s just the one relative to your element will give higher boost properties. Pay attention to the percentages on your skills not overall (at the bottom of the reactor description of said one you are looking at) also look for what gives the extra 140% boost I.E. (with sniper equipped instead of 100% get 140% or a sub machine gun equipped) so on and so forth.

[@billy_cross5580]

The quest that sends us to begin manager and increase doesn’t tell us any of that so that’s hyper important not to mess

[@texastyrants9568]

For the filter all as junk in your weapons menu, this just allows you to mass select all weapons that go along with your filter. *Lvl 30 weapons with rarity* you would be able to mass select all lvl 30 and under purple and blue weapons to delete them all at the same time

[@G_Lo2]

I was looking for this comment but would like clarity if you know. So if I set a filter, I'll still collect those weapons, but this makes it easier to dismantle them. I just want to ensure I'm still getting the weapons that way I'm not missing out on tons of weapon materials from dismantling.

[@booberry6715]

You can't use "every weapon type". There are 4 types and 3 slots. You want to use a different weapon type in every slot due to ammo considerations, but that's a different thing.

[@SaintJ92]

The “missed” part on the reactor isn’t something you get with leveling. You either meet the condition or you don’t. If you meet the condition you’ll get a bonus 40% to the skill power. If you don’t meet the condition you’ll just get 100% skill power aka the base. If the condition is to use an assault rifle and you equip one then you’re good to go. That “missed” part will always stay grey

[@cb-fy4sk]

thanks for commenting on this, couldn't find it anywhere. I was thinking I needed to have 100 skill power, but the 140% was green, the missed was red, I was like how'd i meet the 140 and not the 100 lol I just didnt have the weapon as primary i guess.

[@SaintJ92]

@@cb-fy4sk you’re essentially just getting a bonus 40% by meeting the condition, otherwise you’re missing the condition and just doing the base 100%. One or the other. That’s all it is. Much simpler than it initially looks

[@Simulicity]

that inventory thing doesn’t work at all😅 I still see level 20 weapons getting picked up when I’m just farming

[@nunoalmeida1578]

Lepic is what damage???

[@billy_cross5580]

If you wanna be sure using every ammo type that we type you can’t possibly use every weapon type and also you can’t pass for use every ammo type therefore types of ammo. You only have three weapon slots so in either case your suggestion is moot and not possible what you should be doing that the proper way to say it is do not use two weapons that draw from the same ammo pool.

[@billy_cross5580]

its Tomb, not Tumb. as in the mummy was laid to rest in the tomb. Also it's Frey-na not Frey-ana

[@sinistereu5270]

Will this Filter dismantle the weapons automatic?

[@nathancarter6017]

I doesn't auto dismantle the weapons, it just marks everything below the level you set as junk in your inventory when you pick them up. Then you can dismantle all of them in one click instead of having to do it one by one. Saves a lot of time when your inventory gets big. Also if you have a lower level item with a good roll you want to keep for later, you can mark it as a favorite so the filter doesn't mark it as junk and you wont accidentally delete it.

[@smhqtyt4424]

The setting of those guns are just dumb because the only time you’re ever gonna get lower level guns is while helping a friend or playing in the lower missions and those are good because you can dismantle for materials

[@billy_cross5580]

[@billy_cross5580]

What your second tip was about just sort my level and the very first gun in your inventory will be the highest level gone scroll over to the right and tell you find ammo type for the weapon type that you want and equipment do that three weapons in one of each animal type And then delete all the rest unless God ready to start scoring every single weapon looking for a God role with this mind I mean, I really don’t see the point in doing that now. You can go out in five minutes and fill up your entire inventory with God at any time and any activity so why not just play the game through the story enjoy it clip whatever the highest level shit you have is that you get your wife level maxed out and not worry about ringing bullshit until you actually get to the endgame, racing white matter

[@whattheworldsneedswhatneed774]

Here's one tip for you all. If you are planning to play the ultimate characters, then buy them with real money or play the basic character. Because it's a b5tch to relevel the same character. I have my regular bunny at lv40 its a grind and then I decided to buy the golden bunny, I thought it was a skin but it's not. You will have to level up that ultimate character, even if you have the same character that was a basic you unlock.😡 So you either play the basic character to level up or buy the ultimate character to save you the hassle to redo level up the same character over again, or try to unlock the ultimate character the hard way which will take you 3-6 months to unlock.
