How to Upgrade Weapons in The First Descendant
Location:

The Workbench is situated near Deslin, the weapons vendor, in Albion. Look for the weapons icon next to him, often near Descendant research and module upgrade stations.

Upgrade Methods:

Weapon Level Transmission:

• This option allows you to increase a weapon's level by sacrificing a higher-level weapon.
• This is ideal for situations where you lack weapon drops matching your current level.
• Example: If you're level 34 and find mostly level 34 weapons, but your Hand Cannon is level 24, use this method.
• Requirements:
• A higher-level weapon to sacrifice.
• Phase Changer materials (recommended for late-game use due to material cost).

Weapon Readjustment (for Purple and above rarity):

• This feature focuses on fine-tuning existing stats on high-rarity (purple and above) weapons.
• Functionality:
• Select specific stats you want to retain (e.g., reduced recoil, critical hit rate).
• The system re-rolls other stats on the weapon while keeping the locked ones.
• This allows you to optimize a weapon's stats to better suit your needs.
• Requirements:
• Readjustment materials like Control Axes.

Additional Tips:

• Prioritize upgrading higher-rarity weapons as they offer more potential for improvement.
• Consider the weapon's base stats and how they complement your Descendant's skills when choosing which weapon to upgrade.
• Utilize Weapon Level Transmission strategically, especially when lacking weapon drops at your current level.
• Use Weapon Readjustment cautiously, as it consumes materials, and the re-rolled stats may not always be beneficial.

By strategically employing these upgrade methods, you can ensure your arsenal remains potent and adaptable throughout your journey in The First Descendant.
