The First Descendant Eternal Willpower: How to get, best rolls, and build

If you’re not a fan of the heavy nature of the Tamer machine gun in The First Descendant, the Eternal Willpower will be a lighter option that barely sacrifices DPS. Here, we’ll go over how to get it, the best rolls, and a solid build to get you well into the endgame.

How to get the Eternal Willpower in The First Descendant

The Eternal Willpower will first be given to you as a possible mission reward when completing the Baggage Transport Base mission in the Agna Desert area. Specifically, once you get to the Vermillion Waste area and your item level is in the early to mid-40s, you’ll be at its first drop location.

Luckily, the chance of obtaining the weapon is 50% upon mission completion. It’ll only take a few runs to get this to drop. Once you have obtained your first Eternal Willpower, it’ll then become a regular Rare drop from enemies and bosses when playing the game.

You can later target farm it at max level once you unlock Hard mode. It’ll appear in the same Baggage Transport Base mission as a reward— this time at level 100.

Best rolls for the Eternal Willpower

The following are the best rolls to get for the Eternal Willpower assault rifle:

• Firearm ATK
• Fire, Chill, Electric, or Toxic ATK
• Firearm Critical Hit Rate
• Firearm Critical Hit Damage

This combination of abilities will greatly enhance the weapon’s overall DPS because it’ll flat-out give a better damage boost with an element and base damage. Pair that with boosting its critical stats and you can tear through the endgame content with ease.

You can either farm for its rolls by farming multiple variants of the weapon or try your luck with the Weapon Readjustment mechanic at the workbench. 

To increase your chances of getting the right rolls, you will want to invest heavily in the Adjustment Control Axis material. They’re different from the Fine Adjustment variants and should be easier to craft as you may be sitting on a lot of Superalloy.

Best build for the Eternal Willpower in The First Descendant

You should use The following mod set for your Eternal Willpower AR. It’ll focus a lot on its exceptional critical stats while boosting other decent strengths with the weapon.

It’ll also be assumed that you will invest in an Energy Activator, several Crystallization Catalysts, and upgraded mods.

• Rifling Reinforcement
• Better Insight
• Better Concentration
• Anti-Matter Round
• Insight Focus
• Chill/Electric/Fire/Toxic Enhancement (choose one)
• Reload Focus
• Focus Fire
• Concentrate Support Ammo
• Sweeping Squad

If you do not have the Sweeping Squad mod, you can replace it with Aiming Compensation or Fire Rate Concentration. That way, your gun can still be an all-rounder that’s good for bossing and mobbing.
