How to unlock the Place for Something Special achievement in The First Descendant - Definitive Guide

I'm going to put the guide for the weapon and descendant extension achievements in one guide since it's almost identical on how they're obtained.

The First DescendantModules Maketh DescendantThe Modules Maketh Descendant achievement in The First Descendant worth 207 pointsExpand a Descendant's Module Capacity


You can extend a weapon or descendent's module capacity by going to their module selection screen and going to "Module additional settings" on the right. Click on that and choose "Max capacity up". You need an energy activator in order to be able to do this. You can only do this once per descendant or weapon. Following this guide you should be able to get the achievement for both extending a special weapon and extending a descendant.

So in order to get this achievement you need to use an energy activator on any weapon using special ammo. Special ammo guns is any gun that uses the orange ammo type. I personally used it on "Greg's Reversed" which is an ultimate weapon you will obtain along the way since it's a guarantee to get the parts when completing the story.

You can get 2 energy activators for free while working through the rest of the achievements but there's also two other methods.

First free one: Reaching level 40 on any descendant for the first time
Second free one: Complete the normal difficulty story by completing all of the 8 main areas finishing off in the Fortress.

The other 2 Methods:
First method :Buy them from the store for $24 (USD) in the premium store a piece. So $48 for both achievements.
Second method: Gather the resources and craft them. By getting this far you should have completed the story so you should have the ability to find and gather every material type in the game. When looking at what you need to craft one of these items you can press cn_X on any material type you need and it will tell you where to find it. The higher lvl the zone the harder it is to fight for but the more of the same resource it is likely to give you. Especially on hard mode.

At the weapon adjustment table you're also able to re-roll weapons (This also applies to weapons found while playing the game) that have increased consumables drop rate. This will help increase how many resources you get.

Not sure why this is being downvoted since it tells you how to do it, the only methods of obtaining the resource for free, and every method for gaining them.

I've noticed that even if I give great advice for a given achievement, it will draw down votes if the achievement is especially grind-y or glitchy. It's not you, it's them.

Great guide, glad to know there's a 2nd free one on the way to finishing the story, thank you for this Ascendant!

The down votes are probally coming from people with tiktok attention spans & there's a lot to read

It's very possible! I'm honestly glad that they give you two for free as well. I thought it was only 1 until I got surprised when completing the story as well!

I had an extra from getting an ultimate character and didn't read the achievement before using right away on a weapon that isn't special. Glad to hear there is one after the story.

Yupp, I do believe that you get one when you buy or earn your first ultimate. I just didn't mention it since most people are looking to get the achievement without spending $60 on a character.

I reach level 40 with 2 descendants (Ajax and bunny) and I didn’t get an energy activator. Am I missing something? Is there something I need else I need to do to get it to show up in my inventory?

What a BS achievement. Wasting an activator on a POS gun for an achievement? No, thanks.

The downvotes are probably from "forgotten Emperors"

The comment I put about the down votes was because I had 3 down votes before I had even a single positive vote. Things seemed to even out now.

For this achievement, you'll want to select any weapon that uses the orange ammo type called "Special Rounds" and press button-y.png on that weapon in your inventory to go to the module screen. From there, select the "Module Additional Settings" option on the right side of the screen and then "Max Capacity UP" from the window that pops up. You need to obtain an Energy Activator to complete this upgrade. You'll obtain two of these automatically by playing the game: one by reaching Level 40 with any Descendant for the first time, and a second by completing the game's campaign story. Make sure you use one of them for this achievment, and the other for Modules Maketh Descendant (100G).
