How to Use the Reconstructed Device in the First Descendant

Farming up new weapons and Descendants is the core gameplay loop in The First Descendant, and that means you will need to get used to the intricacies of the Reconstructed Device. Here’s how to use the Reconstructed Device in The First Descendant.

Where to Find the Reconstructed Device in The First Descendant

You can find the Reconstructed Device after the Void Intercept boss battles or by completing a Void Fusion Reactor Mission. Void Intercepts can be accessed via the nodes on the bottom left of the main sector map, while the Void Fusion Reactor Missions are found in the game’s playable areas.

There’s usually one in each sector, marked by an icon that looks like a golden vortex. You will need to destroy Void Fragments to be able to start them, as you need special Void Shards to use each reactor. Each elemental Void Fusion Reactor mission will give you a different set of Void Fragments.

The Reconstructed Device looks like a strange globe with a green zig-zag design on it and will be marked on the screen by a green icon. It will exist in the area for a limited time before despawning, giving you approximately four minutes to reach it and use it for it vanishes.

How to Use the Reconstructed Device in The First Descendant

To use the Reconstructed Device, simply interact with it, and you will get a list of suitable Amorphous Materials that you can open from your inventory. It is important to remember that certain materials, bosses, and Fusion Reactor Missions are all linked. You can’t just open any Material after a random boss fight. To check which fights you need to complete for the right Device to open a material, examine the Amorphous Material in your inventory.

Each Amorphous Material will contain a set loot pool that includes parts for weapons and Descendants, and those parts can randomly drop when they are opened.

After you select your Material, use a Shape Stabilizer if you have one to increase your chance of getting specific drops from your Amorphous Material. Shape Stabilizers are rare drops you can get from specific missions. They are also tied to specific Amorphous Materials.

Shape Stabilizers are useful if you are trying to get very specific pieces to build something you want. If you wish to know what materials contain, or which materials you need for certain Descendants, visit Anais at Albion, as all that can be learned through her menus.

So, the process to find and use the Reconstructed Devices and get the most out of them is as follows:

• Visit Anais to figure out which Amorphous Materials you need for the Descendants and Weapons you want.
• Grind the relevant missions to get the Amorphous Materials
• Complete Void Intercepts and Void Fusion Reactor Missions to open these by using the Reconstructed Device dropped by bosses
• At this point, you can use the correct Form of Shape Stabilizer, should you have one, to increase the odds of getting the rarer drops from the Amorphous Material.

The First Descendant is available to play now on PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox X|S, and Steam.
