Best Weapon Stats for Ultimate Greg’s Reversed Fate in The First Descendant

The best stats and traits for Greg’s Reverse Fate are Firearm ATK, Firearm Critical Hit Damage, Weak Point Damage, and Bonus Firearm ATK vs Colossusi. In the First Descendant, weapon stats are randomly generated for all weapons when they drop or are created via crafting. You can change (or re-roll) them through the Weapon Readjustment system, which is covered in more detail below.

There are the best weapon stats for Ultimate Greg’s Reversed Fate in The First Descendant:

1. Firearm ATK
2. Firearm Critical Hit Damage
3. Weak Point Damage
4. Bonus Firearm ATK vs Colossusi

In the First Descendant, weapon stats are randomly generated for all weapons when they are picked up as loot or picked up after crafting. You can change (or re-roll) them through the Weapon Readjustment system. Each weapon has four random traits or stats that can be rerolled to find the ideal trait. These regenerated traits are also random and so is their quality. Therefore, expect to spend a lot of materials to min-max the perfect roll.

How to Upgrade Greg’s Reversed Fate

To upgrade Greg’s Reversed Fate weapon, you can increase module capacity, level transmissions weapon to your current level, readjust the weapon traits, or enhance the weapon’s unique ability. The First Descendant provides several different avenues for upgrading and improving your weapons by using their repair station Workbench. The Workbench is located in the same general area as Anais and weapons seller Deslin on the west side of Albion. Below are the various methods for upgrading weapons in the First Descendant:

• Max Capacity UP: increase the module capacity.
• Level Transmission: upgrades level to your current level.
• Readjustment: changes weapon traits and perks.
• Enhanced Unique Ability: increase ultimate weapons unique effect to max of 5.

Maximum Module Capacity

When upgrading weapon mods, be aware there is an increased cost and a max module capacity of 80. The material needed is Energy Activators, and you will get one of these after playing through the end of the campaign, or you can craft them with Anais. Therefore, you want to balance increasing mods and not attempt to max out every one. A balanced approach to firearm ATK, critical chance, and critical damage is the best (+3 or so to each).

Weapon Transmission

Each time you craft an Ultimate weapon in The First Descendant, after collecting it from Anais you will find that it is a low Level 1 firearm. However, you can easily bring it up to your current weapon level by using the Weapon Transmission mechanic at the Workbench.

Finally, you will need to reach Mastery Rank 3.

To level up Greg’s Reversed Fate in The First Descendant you will need:

• Precision Phase Exchanger
  • 250 Liquid Metal
  • 50,000 credits/gold
  • 10:00 of research time

To get Superalloy and Liquid Metal in the First Descendant you will need to dismantle many weapons you don’t want by junking them. This breaks down the weapon into crafting materials you can use to make other items. Consequently, we highly recommend breaking down all of your excess weapons instead of selling them. Credits are easier to earn just by playing the game and completing missions.

Weapon Readjustment

In The First Descendant, the Weapon Readjustment mechanic allows you to use the Workbench to re-roll your weapon stats. Moreover, you can re-roll all of your stats at once, or lock individual stats you like and only re-roll the ones you want to change.

Finally, you will need to reach Master Rank 4 in order to unlock Weapon Readjustment at the Workbench.

To change Greg’s Reversed Fate stats in The First Descendant you will need:

• Fine Adjustment Control Axis x2
  • 200 Liquid Metal
  • 30,000 credits/gold
  • 1:00:00 of research time

Enhance Unique Ability

Each Ultimate weapon in The First Descendant comes with a unique ability that gives it a powerful effect and you can enhance the power of these abilities. This is another mechanic that you will use at the repair station Workbench, and it unlocks at Mastery Rank 5.

However, unlike Weapon Transmission and Weapon Readjustment there is no unique crafting material you will need to create and use. To enhance the unique ability of Greg’s Reversed Fate, you will have to craft a duplicate. Then, take that Level 1 duplicate to the Workbench and sacrifice it to upgrade the Shaping Destiny ability to a stronger version.

How To Use Ultimate Greg’s Reversed Fate

The best way to use Greg’s Reversed Fate is to find a target with a full shield to trigger its extra-effect Bombardment. This will shoot down three beams of light and do significant fire damage and burn status effects. The radius of each is 3 meters, so look to open on targets near others for optimal damage. Moreover, you can hot swap this weapon by using it as an opener, than swapping to Thunder Cage when in close range after the AOE damage as spread.

The effective range is 35 meters, giving you 12 meters of optimal range compared to the Thunder Cage. Any target hit by the secondary Bombardment effect will be inflicted with the Burn condition. This effect only lasts for a 3-second duration, but during that time, they will take an additional 30% damage from firearms. You can pair this with another launcher, Sigvore’s Proof, that triggers status effect damage at a high rate. Consider using Greg’s if you lack AOE damage or want to hot swap when close range.
