The First Descendant Weapon Tier List
There are four different weapon classes in The First Descendant based on the ammunition of a weapon. These are: General Rounds, Special Rounds, Impact Rounds, and High Power Rounds. Each weapon also falls into one of four categories: Normal, Rare, Ultimate, and Transcendent.
Weapons can be upgraded by using the Workbench in Albion to increase the overall stats. Upgrades include: Weapon Level Transmissions, Unique Ability Enhancements, Weapon Adjustments., and Reactor Enhancements.
