- Pick Descendant modules based on your character’s role in combat. For example, Ajax would benefit from Increased HP and Tech Specialist.
- Weapon modules depend on the type of ammo your guns use. For instance, High-Power rounds benefit greatly from the Strengthen First Shot mod.
Unlike most looter shooters, modules can make a drastic difference in The First Descendant. Brand-new passive buffs and tweaks to powers are evident while controlling your characters and landing attacks. Your weapons can also use modules to enhance their firepower against certain foes. But scrolling through pages of modules can be a chore so we’ve highlighted our top picks for each Descendant and weapon type. Read on to understand how these choices influence the resource grind in-game.
Recommended modules for every Descendant and weapon
The First Descendant splits its modules into Descendant modules and weapon modules. While all characters can use many modules, some Descendant-specific modules are worth hunting for. That’s because they make a noticeable difference in combat, from altering specific skills to even granting brand-new passives and attacks. If you’re looking for the best modules for each Descendant, here’s what you should focus on:
- Ajax: Increased HP, Tech Specialist
- Blair: Classic Chef, Incendiary Bomb
- Bunny: Electric Transition, Electric Specialist
- Enzo: Reinforce Front Line, Dual Claw
- Esiemo: Cluster Bomb, Focus on Fire
- Freyna: Toxic Specialist, Toxic Master
- Gley: Predator Instinct, HP Concentration
- Jayber: Turret Engineering, Dual Claw
- Kyle: Self-Directed Eruption, Increased Shield
- Lepic: Nerve Infiltration, Increased HP
- Sharen: Release Cutting Force, Electric Specialist
- Valby: Nimble Finger, Water Play
- Viessa: Chill Specialist, Skill Range Mastery
- Yujin: Duty and Sacrifice, Proliferating Allergy
And here are the best weapon modules based on their ammo types:
- General Rounds: Electric Conductor, Mental Focus
- Special Rounds: Battlesuit Crusher, Sharp Precision Shot
- Impact Rounds: Real-Life Fighter, Heat Incinerator
- High-Power Rounds: Strengthen First Shot, Real-Life Fighter
These can be found in combat or by completing specific challenges across the game’s many regions. Upgrade them with Kuiper Shards to enhance their powers. Sub module buffs will increase your total module capacity so focus on those first. You can also dismantle duplicates or modules that don’t suit your build to upgrade your existing kit. Remember to increase your Mastery Rank for this.
How to equip modules on characters and weapons
Here’s how you can add or remove modules in The First Descendant:
- Go to your Inventory by pressing “I” on PC or the start button on a controller.
- Here, go into the “Descendent Module” to equip modules for your character.
- Instead, go to “Weapons List” and then “Module Settings” to add modules to your guns.
