The First Descendant: Understanding the Thunder Cage SMG and Reactors
The First Descendant is filled with a wide range of weapons, and the Thunder Cage Submachine Gun (SMG) is one of the most potent early-accessible weapons. This weapon can provide a major step up in your gameplay, thanks to the associated Thunder Cage Mounting bonus obtained from certain Reactors.
First Ultimate Weapon: The Thunder Cage SMG
In the First Descendant, the Thunder Cage SMG is often the first Ultimate Weapon that players tend to encounter. A subquest early on guides you to gather all required crafting materials for this formidable weapon. Utilizing a Reactor that offers a 'Thunder Cage Mounting' bonus is highly recommended for enhancing your firepower if this weapon is in your arsenal. However, some players have experienced confusion about how to activate the bonus.
Activating the Thunder Cage Mounting Bonus
To take advantage of the Thunder Cage Mounting bonus from a Reactor, make sure the Thunder Cage SMG is set as your primary weapon. Here is something crucial to remember: if the Thunder Cage SMG is not your primary weapon—that is, if it's placed in your second or third slot—you won't receive this benefit.
Dealing with the Bug
Unfortunately, a bug frequently prevents the activation of the Thunder Cage Mounting boost, even if you've equipped the Thunder Cage SMG as your primary weapon. If you run into this bug, a simple workaround is to remove the Thunder Cage SMG from your loadout and then equip it again.
An important tip to remember is that you may need to repeatably remove and equip the Thunder Cage SMG every time you change your Reactor or adjust your build. Therefore, it is important to always check if the bonus is correctly applied whenever you make any changes.
This bug, we hope, will eventually be resolved in a future game patch.
