Ultimate Weapons are some of the most exciting weapons available in The First Descendant. While blue and purple weapons have their place, the added passives available on Ultimate Weapons help them fulfill a particular niche and provide some nice bonuses.
However, you’ll notice upon getting an Ultimate Weapon that the damage on it is laughably small. There’s a way to fix that. Here’s how to level up Ultimate Weapons in The First Descendant.
How to increase the DPS value of Ultimate Weapons in The First Descendant
To level up your Ultimate Weapon and increase its DPS, land inside the main hub of Albion and head to the right. Pass by where you’d normally speak to Alpha and head downstairs to reach several vendors. Next to the vendor named Deslin, you’ll find the Weapon Workbench. Alternatively, you can go to the spot listed on the map above to reach the Weapon Workbench.
Once there, interact with the Workbench and select the Weapon Level Transmission option. Once inside this menu, you’ll have a few options. Mainly, we want to focus on our Ultimate Weapon. Click on it, then select any spare weapons you have that you don’t care about keeping. Once selected, you’ll delete these weapons but level up the Ultimate Weapon’s DPS. I did this once or twice myself and got my Ultimate Weapon to a point where it had better DPS than anything else I was using. This can be done for any weapons below Ultimate rarity too, if you want.
Is it worth it to level up Ultimate Weapons?
Ultimate Weapons are, most of the time, well worth leveling up. A lot of Ultimate Weapons are just better versions of their blue or purple counterparts, though there are always a few bad apples in the pile. It’ll merely depend on personal preference and whether the perk seems interesting to you. For me, I like the Thunder Cage SMG a lot since I play Bunny primarily and they synergize well. Ideally, you find synergies like that.
