The Perforator is a Ultimate Handcannon that you will come across in The First Descendant. Although the weapon does not seem like much, with the right build, you’ll be melting bosses instantly.
So, here’s the best Module setup along with how you can unlock the Perforator in the game.
Best Module setup for Perforator
| Module | Effect |
|---|---|
| Fire Rate Concentration | Firearm ATK +12% |
| Action and Reaction | Firearm ATK +15%, Recoil +5%. |
| Weak Point Sight | Weak Point Damage +9% |
| Concentration Priority | Firearm Critical Hit Damage +8%, Reload Time Modifier -8%. |
| Better Concentration | Firearm Critical Hit Damage +8% |
| Better Insight | Firearm Critical Hit Rate +9% |

The main idea behind this Module setup for the Perforator in The First Descendant is to increase its damage output as much as possible, for those overpowered critical hits. Whenever you hit the weak point of a shielded enemy, it’ll deplete their shield that is in proportion to their max shield at a set chance. If the shield is broken, then it’ll stun the enemy.
This makes the weapon effective to a certain degree against bosses if you’re looking to get rid of their shields quickly. Furthermore, the Module setup above will also help you squeeze out that additional weak point damage, making it a hefty damage dealer.

Best Descendant
You can use this gun with any Descendant you please but it works best with Sharen because her abilities allow her to deal a massive amount of single target damage.
