How to increase Module Capacity Limit in The First Descendant

The First Descendant Weapons and Modules

Here are some of the best ways to increase your Module Capacity Limit fast in The First Descendant:

1) Equipping a Sub Attack Module

Sub Modules are of Transcendent rarity which you mainly obtain while beating Void Intercept missions and Void Intercept Bosses. These are exclusive to the Descendant Module Settings are are equipped in the slot located on the top-left.

You will be able to use these mods for two purposes. One is for equipping a sub-attack action with melee weapons like Shortsword and Dual Claw. The other use is to increase the Module Capacity Limit.

 With the right upgrades, you will be able to acquire Sub Modules that can significantly boost the Capacity Limit. So make sure to prioritize this over a Sub Attack action.

2) Increasing your Master Rank

Master Rank is the account-wide leveling system in The First Descendant. You increase this rank by gaining EXP from completing these missions and beating bosses.

Once you reach the threshold you will receive a message to rank up. Then head to Albion and interact with the Arche Factor Manipulator Prime Hands to tank up.

Master Rank rewards

There are 30 tiers of Master Ranks to get through, and with each level you will be alee to unlock the following perks:

  • Increased Descendant Module capacity and slots
  • Increased Weapon Module capacity and slots
  • Increased Equipment Inventory
  • Increased Storage
  • Increased Shape Stabilizer Inventory Limit

An easier way of improving Master Rank will be to use Caliber. It’s a premium currency that you purchase through real-life money and can help give you a significant boost to the next level.

3) Equipping Modules in the Matching Slots

Equipping Modules in the slots that match them will not increase your overall Module Capacity. It will rather help you to save up on using too much of the Capacity Limit leaving you more room to slot in additional mods.

If you equip a mod in a matching slot, you will reduce the Module Cost for it by half. However, if you equip it one the wrong slot, then the cost will be doubled.

Hence, having a firm grasp of this mechanic will let you make the most of the Modules that you have on hand.

4) Using Research Requests

Another great way of increasing Module Capacity in The First Descendant is by using Research Requests. You can do this by visiting Anais in Albion and then completing Research Requests which particularly give Energy Activator recipes as rewards.

Once you have the recipe and the required resources, craft the Energy Activators by talking to Anais. Then open the Modules menu and then select the Increase Max Capacity option. Nexon’s shooter will then consume the Energy Activators that you have to increase the limit.
