The First Descendant - THE 10 BIGGEST MISTAKES PLAYERS MAKE EARLY! (Don't Do This) Tips & Tricks

[@NothingButSkillz]

What is something else I didn't mention that you would pass on to help new players?

[@LetPapaCook]

Have fun

[@Amershaf]

I did not know about the stats screen. Huge difference. Ty Skillz. There is so much info on the character screen, I never saw it.

[@nefariousalpha]

Im so happy you make TFD vidz. I been a loyal viewer since you started division 2. Always with such useful info. Mad respect.

[@NothingButSkillz]

I appreciate that

[@IRatchetI]

Overall very useful tips. The one thing I would mention is at around 1:45 you do NOT need to leave that screen. Simply hit TAB and the stats on the left will change from 'applied stats' to 'weapon info' which shows your weapons true stats after any modifications that have been made. Also I'm guessing here, but I think the reason DPS doesn't increase with 'weak point damage' is because the game doesn't assume you'll hit weak points 100% of the time, so yea you're right it is misleading.

[@ImproperStandby]

For the dismantling part, you can set the sorting to display Transcendant quality only and just press shift, that way it will select everything below Transcendant so you don't have to manually scroll through, just click the ones you don't need and do it that way. Also combine Transcendant dupes if you have some to spare, you might be surprised at what you get.

[@theSoloPlayer1]

Mi was wondering that about why weak point doesn’t increase my dmg even though we know it’s great dmg. Glad you pointed that out so player know.

[@NothingButSkillz]

yep glad it was helpful

[@ashdcookie]

You can look at the full stats from the modding menu. Theres an option in the bottom right But very good video!

[@shaneroden9567]

FYI, it’s easier to see gear’s actual stats by pressing tab on the module screen.

[@rgcazo]

Great video. I knew about most of these, but picked up a few things I did not know. Thanks a lot!

[@mrshutin2088]

When dismantling modules just sort by rarity it will put the transcendent modules at the top no need to scroll

[@PanaoriosGaming]

I need to pay more attention, I've been going through my entire mod list when dismantling instead of clicking "find all duplicates" wow

[@NothingButSkillz]

lol

[@thedivisionheadquaters]

I took a break from division 2 for this game it’s been a fun ride. Didn’t even notice weak point dmg wasn’t calculated 😫

[@NothingButSkillz]

i think a few division players did lol

[@Galaxybreaker97]

When they fixing the divi two I quit after last season

[@Shmack_]

I was getting bored but once I unlocked valby… brand new again

[@NothingButSkillz]

yes I feel characters make the game IMO.

[@deggman46]

I felt the same way about warframe. I hope I don't feel that way about this game anytime soon.

[@Galaxybreaker97]

@@deggman46you will wdym this is just a knock off

[@PanaoriosGaming]

Valby is a lot of fun, I was going to main Freyna but since unlocking Valby 👀

[@davejemi6742]

Valby is my main character...but I also got yujin he is low key op...

[@Geezythegreat88]

Been killing it with the first descendant content!

[@playstation_loyalist]

Once again thank you for your services skillz. Always dropping that knowledge to make your community better. Thx again.

[@NothingButSkillz]

Thanks for watching!

[@dad_uchiha1707]

How they have the 'access info' in the game is a HUGE W!!

[@NothingButSkillz]

Yes

[@ivertygarcia3837]

Hey skills. Can u improve weapon range?

[@SIRDIPLOMAT]

What’s the benefit of the Ultimate Descendant, and do I have to level them starting at level 1 if I’ve started on the basic version?

[@JangoAC]

The game ia better than expected, finally something that comes close to the Firefall feeling

[@tallen010]

mad but glad, mad i dismantled all my transcendant mods when I ran out of space, glad i know this now

[@marcgil256]

Why is there a different dps number when I open customize my gun? What’s the point of applied values?

[@davidoverington8576]

My Division man, love you x

[@anwarurena4513]

Still work on the farm to get stuff to upgrade little by little but cant access hard mold yet 😔 but have a safe trip

[@jeffrey778]

weak point damage, and extra elemental damage is not calculated. if you have bullet improvement on top of the same element, or extra elemental damage. it will not calculate the extra damage with like chill enhance with base chill damage, on top of refrigerate barrel. these enhancements are also, not a conversion but instead are extra as well.

[@NothingButSkillz]

Yes!!

[@helencatherine3539]

Thank you so much for this ❤

[@KrsJin]

Great tips and reminders, thanks for these!

[@NothingButSkillz]

You bet!

[@Calaxanasgaming]

[@NothingButSkillz]

Thunder cage right.

[@Semperf11]

Good tips

[@NothingButSkillz]

good to see you in the comments bro!

[@DrHamjuice]

If the game is going to stay successful, I think the game could DESPERATELY use a better more intuitive UI update that isn't so overwhelming for people trying to casually get into it. Especially when you're in the menus A LOT. (One of the issues that held back Starfield) I have been loving the game, but my absolute pet peeve comes in terms of misleading data like weak point dmg, crit rate, etc., and having to change multiple screens/menus just to see data. There isn't even a decent way to truely compare guns besides manually doing it yourself in the info screen and taking a bunch of pictures to reference.

[@darkthunder6568]

Unfortunately I found out way to late that you can re roll the stats on the weapons and my production is not on there where I want it to be

[@marstudios7879]

How do you get those different customs scheme ?

[@simualjohnson5845]

How about a video on how to beat the story mode on normal with no build using Blair??

[@NothingButSkillz]

I mean why does it have to be Blair lol also he has a op build

[@jeffbarker730]

Boy ive made a lot of these mistakes 😆 im syill learning, having fun though!!

[@s0bedrag0n]

This reminds me of Division and Anthem.

[@Richard1976]

Accidently salvaged thundercage. Can I rebuild it?

[@deggman46]

Should have known about the weak spot damage being good.I play remnant for pete sake.

[@Poachy]

Thanks for the helpful video

[@dracosrayne]

Skills can you explain what the applied damage is? The numbers under the descendent modes page.

[@Silentkidgaming]

Should i upgrade thundercage for every 5 levels or more?

[@NothingButSkillz]

@@Silentkidgaming up to you honestly. Mainly you can wait until you are about to fight the next boss because that when you need the extra dmg imo

[@BenaresDarkness]

Re-rolling weapon options is a must starting from dead bride in normal, i was stuck on her for 3 days until I finally re-rolled and then I beat her first try, also I bring weapons that im using up to level because those resources is very easy to get, so it doesn't matter at all. I like your videos but those 2 things I mentioned are not going to slow you down any if you do it.

[@chrissyjj1]

But so many different weapons drop with different rolls. You don’t really need to do it since the game gives you so much

[@BenaresDarkness]

@@chrissyjj1 Yes you do need to do unless you want to be stuck like I was.

[@chrissyjj1]

@@BenaresDarkness I haven’t rolled a single time and I just got to hard mode. The game has dropped so many guns with already good rolls on them, knowing how to mod your weapons is way more important

[@TimBassett-mh9ou]

@@chrissyjj1 yes it does throw so many weapons at you lol. All I did was saved the weapons I wanted with the different damage types, boom I had my re rolled stats lol

[@IRatchetI]

@@BenaresDarkness You don't NEED to re-roll as the game drops so many weapons, as previously stated. However re-rolling is faster then farming weapons though, as all it takes is a few mouse clicks to change stats.

[@gg_2020]

Thanks!

[@valucttgt134]

The elemental modules should you upgrade them or just slap em on for the effect

[@NothingButSkillz]

if you can I would. Im still working on mine but yes if you can enhanced them a few it will help but end game goal is to be able to fit fully max ones

[@valucttgt134]

@@NothingButSkillz ok nicee thanks for reply 🙌🏻

[@richyp2166]

I found out about the weapon leveling today the hard way 😂

[@NothingButSkillz]

Lol

[@JohnnydeVil]

The only regret I have is reroling stats every time I upgrade my thunder cage 😂😂😂

[@Ribbonzarkuraspear]

Game kinda forces you to build multiple characters because of reactors 😭

[@MrKalidascopeEyes]

It's too bad that loadouts aren't connected to descendants. Would like to have their reactors stay on the one that needs it.

[@Ribbonzarkuraspear]

@@MrKalidascopeEyes that’s already in the game it’s the preset option

[@TraaaaaasshBooooaaaatttt]

​@MrKalidascopeEyes you need to mark them as equipped and then equip them. That way they don't delete and you need to save it as a preset rather than just swapping descendants. Which is stupid. The components and reactors should be tied to each descendant like mods but there's a simple workaround

[@ThatKiddAngel530]

damn. posted this while i'm ordering pizza lol

[@NothingButSkillz]

lets goooo!

[@mr.j-Webs]

How do you report things I didn't get my caliber like the caliber you get for getting certain levels for purchasing the battle pass and I'm at level 38

[@jayyrod1]

TLDR - get to max level and dont spend resources until you hit the endgame.

[@dgrm7559]

Now that I have completed the story I am seeing zero point playing this game anymore. The only thing left to do is chase after the grind to get void shards to then get a 2% chance to get something I need for my build. Meanwhile I have to deal with bosses and minibosses that have some of the worse immunity mechanics I have ever seen in any game ever! Everyone knows and hates the bosses balls!

[@iffy5bassthunder677]

The game is a joke, a child could come up with better game mechanics. After finishing the campaign, there is no reason to play anymore, unless you want to mindlessly grind to level up more, and replay the regurgitated trash again.🙄 No thanks. Deleted. Was fun, but I really do not need the second job.

[@alsaint7944]

40 is 30 , this is not that and that is not this 😅

[@abxknight1386]

Cruise?? Where u going??

[@TFDBabes]

Thx this was helpful

[@TFDBabes]

End game but didn’t know half of this 😂

[@NothingButSkillz]

Glad it helped

[@iAMNinjaDarkovia]

Bruhh I’m at a total of 71 hrs in this game and your vid makes me realize that the game actually have presets 🤣😂

[@drezarom3627]

endgame meaning until you beat the main story?

[@NothingButSkillz]

yeah then youg et level 100 gear

[@GragarTheGreat]

It’s 2 weeks old skillz everyone is new 😂 just a side note how and why do a lot of your modules have a green numbers above them because my modules cost me crazy amounts

[@TimBassett-mh9ou]

Because they have assigned module socket type. It’s like Warframe where you assign polarity. While looking at weapon or character, it’s on the right side under rename.

[@GragarTheGreat]

@@TimBassett-mh9ou Cool thanks 🙏🏻

[@valucttgt134]

Idk if this supposed to happen but iv combined ultimate modules and got transcendant module 2 times

[@NothingButSkillz]

i never heard that happening!! Nice info

[@Jordan-gl5ti]

Yes. Combine rare modules for a chance at ultimate. Combine ultimate to get a chance at transcendent modules.

[@aneffortlesssmile]

Should I be dismantling or selling junk?

[@NothingButSkillz]

Dismantling

[@acegear]

my first mistake assumed my potato gpu can handle the game

[@Ibsmokin]

Can someone tell me why my dps goes down when I equip a status effect mod like toxic or electricity?

[@yaboi-ru4532]

Some enemies are resistant to elemental damage it doesnt reflect as a flatout damage boost on the stat sheet but it will cause the additional damage in game

[@DK_Halibel]

Need a freyna build pls buddy

[@johndymond4596]

My thundercage is about the same as yours however replace one weak point mod with reload speed. That -30 on yours is so so slow

[@jayyrod1]

If you use reload canceling you can negate slower reloads. It's different for every gun but it's worth learning so you don't waste mods on 'reload speed' when you can have damage instead.

[@johndymond4596]

@jayyrod1 yea I use it. But it only works on the back end of the reload. So the slower the reload time the longer it takes to cancel the animation

[@mn1170]

Way too complex for me

[@Galaxybreaker97]

I can’t wait for them the Nerf thunder cage

[@fuman7057]

This is definitely game where one should limit themselves to 2 characters. Unless one does little besides play this game in their mom’s basement, the grinding and farming requirements are too high to juggle more characters. A back-up is needed in events where a main’s element is resisted.

[@run4walk]

Bro, where are you seeing people make these mistakes? How are you seeing which mods people have on their gun and why? How or where are you seeing people re-rolling stats on their guns? ffs. I know the game is new, and everyone is making the exact same 5 videos of the same shit in some bizarre rush to demonstrate the obvious to everyone, but releasing a video to share the solution to completely fabricated problems comes across as incredibly shallow.

[@NothingButSkillz]

People tell me in stream when I stream for 8 hours at a time

[@run4walk]

@NothingButSkillz You've had someone on your steam pop up and say "I haven't reached end game and I've just spent some Adjustment Control Axes to reroll stats on my level 73 Tamer"?

[@DaCapitalist1]

omg this guys voice is like nails on a chalkboard.. get me out lol

[@NothinButSkillz]

Can we break 1000 LIKES on the video

[@iffy5bassthunder677]

And the 11th mistake is playing the game after the campaign is finished. Nothing but a grindy slot machine shitshow after that. Must be alot of gamblers playing games like this, pull that lever, and keep hoping. 🤣🤣🤣 Was fun, now it's a second job, just to replay regurgitated trash. Deleted.
