As you start your journey in The First Descendant you will quickly notice that you are running out of inventory space as you start picking up more loot. As rarer items and weapons start dropping from enemies, you will not be able to pick them up if your inventory does not have an empty slot.
So here is a guide on everything you need to know about increasing as well as managing your inventory space in The First Descendant.
How to increase inventory space in The First Descendant
To increase the number of weapons and Reactors that you can carry at any given time in The First Descendant, you will need to increase your Mastery Rank. There is no other way of increasing the space other than leveling your Mastery with Mastery EXP.
Killing enemies, leveling up your Descendants, and completing missions are some of the best ways of gaining mastery EXP. Once you have enough to level up, you will get a message pop-up on your screen.
Then head to the Prime Hands machine in Albion and interact with it to gain a new Mastery Rank.
With each Mastery Level, you will receive the following bonuses:
- Increased Descendant Module capacity and slots
- Increased Weapon Module capacity and slots
- Increased Equipment Inventory
- Increased Storage
- Increased Shape Stabilizer Inventory Limit
Best ways to manage inventory space
It takes time to improve your Mastery Rank in Nexon’s shooter. So by the time you are able to increase your inventory space, you will need to manage all the items that you have acquired thus far before you can pick up new ones.
Here are some of the steps you should be taking to optimize your inventory space in The First Descendant:
1) Dismantle Items
Dismantling weapons and Reactors is one of the best ways of managing storage space. You can press the right trigger on your control after selecting an item to mark it as junk. You can then long press the trigger to deconstruct all junk.
Deconstructing items will let you obtain crafting materials that are useful later on.
2) Sell items you don’t need
If you are low on Gold then you can always sell the items that you do not need to the store NPC. It will make sure that you are never running out of Gold which is required during research.
3) Make the most of the Storage Box
You will gain access to your Storage Box in Albion and around outposts in all the regions of the overworld. It has 78 spaces and you can use it to store some of the more important items that you acquire during missions. These can be Rare and Ultimate weapons and Reactors that you want to level for a specific character later on.
You can increase the Storage Box holding capacity by using Caliber.
