Ultimate weapons are top choices in The First Descendant

In The First Descendant, players have a wide range of weapons, but the best options are the Ultimate tier weapons. While Rare and lower-tier weapons can still be useful, the Ultimate weapons offer much better performance. This guide focuses on powerful guns meant for combat rather than abilities. The Thunder Cage is one of the first Ultimate weapons players can craft. It's great for dealing with groups of enemies due to its Electric Shockwave ability. However, it struggles against tough bosses, especially in harder dungeons. The Smithereens, once considered less effective, has become a strong weapon against bosses. To maximize its damage, players need to hit all its pellets. Unlike the Executor shotgun, the Smithereens can be adapted for different elemental damage. Greg’s Reversed Fate is a versatile weapon that can handle both crowds and bosses. Its main drawback is its accuracy against fast-moving targets, which can hinder its damage output. The Enduring Legacy is a powerful machine gun that excels when enemies are on fire. It can be a key weapon for many missions, despite its conditional damage. The Voltia, a limited-time weapon from the Season 2 battle pass, is useful in specific game modes. While it can mob enemies well, its strength lies more in its ability to counter enemy barriers. Lastly, the Malevolent hand cannon offers quick shots and extra damage for hitting weak points. Like the Voltia, it's available through the Season 2 battle pass, so players need to be timely to acquire it. Overall, these weapons can significantly enhance gameplay in The First Descendant.
