New The First Descendant weapon buff build is OP dealing “70 million damage per minute”

The First Descendant developer, Nexon, is taking a short hiatus to celebrate a significant holiday in Korea. This is good for them as they have worked tirelessly to support the game since day one of its release, and a lot of content is on the way for when they come back. Fortunately, before going on holiday, they released a new update. This provided The First Descendant community with a weapon buff so OP it can deal “70 million damage per minute” with the right build.

Nexon has confirmed that there is no update for TFD this week, so expect the new patch to arrive between September 23rd to 27th. As for what we have to anticipate, multiplayer mode is still on the way for Invasion Dungeons, and Nexon are committed to delivering tests servers, although there’s no ETA for when this will be introduced.

While there will be no patch this week, now is the perfect time to take advantage of a new OP weapon buff before it possibly gets watered down. You will need the right build, but fortunately this has been shared by the community.

The First Descendant OP weapon buff build

In the First Descendant update 1.1.2 patch notes, Nexon provided the following changes and buffs to the Executor shotgun Ultimate weapon:

• Improved the base performance and unique ability of the Ultimate Weapon ‘Executor (Shotgun).’
  • Increased the base ‘Hip Fire Accuracy’ and ‘Aimed Shot Accuracy’ of ‘Executor.’
  • When the ‘Executor’s Exaltation’ effect is active, failing to hit all fired bullets will no longer decrease the amount of stacks.
  • Decreased the maximum stacks of the ‘Executor’s Exaltation’ effect, and firing the gun at maximum stacks will no longer disable the ability.
  • Increased ‘Accuracy’ and ‘Firearm Critical Hit Rate’ based on the adjusted maximum stacks of the ‘Executor’s Exaltation’ effect. ‘Firearm Critical Hit Damage’ and ‘Fire Rate’ are also increased now.
  • The ‘Executor’s Exaltation’ effect at maximum stacks now increases ‘Weak Point Damage’ instead of ‘Firearm ATK.’
  • ‘Firearm ATK’ is no longer increased when hitting enemies inflicted with ‘Electrocution.’

This is a massive buff to the weapon, but with the right build it can deal 70+ million per damage as shared by YouTuber, Atred.
