Here is all the info you need to build a powerful Fallen Hope:

Fallen Hope Modules

Weapon Readjustment

You can use the Weapon Readjustment at the Weapon Workbench in Albion. Here are the best Weapon Readjustments for the Fallen Hope:

  • Multi-Hit Damage
  • Multi-Hit Chance
  • Firearm ATK
  • Toxic ATK

In any order. Try to upgrade the Weapon Readjustments to at least purple quality.

Weapon Cores

Weapon Cores juice up your damage quite tremendously. However, especially the later-level Weapon Cores are difficult to get. So start with whatever weapon cores you have available. Weapon Cores drop in the Void Erosion Purge endgame activity.

Higher level Weapon Cores drop in the higher level Void Erosion Purge levels in The First Descendant. However, you can gradually work towards the highest level. I recommend trying to get to level six as soon as possible, since it won’t require to clear many stages and will already increase the power of your weapon tremendously.

Best Weapon Cores for the Fallen Hope:

  • Free Augmentation Icon TFDFire Rate (Free Augmentation)
  • Firepower Augmentation Icon TFDFirearm ATK (Firearm Augmentation)
  • Attribute Augmentation Icon TFDToxic ATK (Attribute Augmentation)
  • Tactical Augmentation icon tfdFire Rate (Tactical Augmentation)
  • precision augmentation icon tfdSprint Speed (Precision Augmentation)

Fallen Hope Lore Info

TFD Fallen Hope Icon Lore

When a once proud knight was relegated to a soldier after the Apocalypse and was eventually reborn as a Descendant, he made a promise to himself. He would never forget the past that plunged him into a bleak, hopeless perdition.

In order to remember his true identity, he inscribed the tenet of the Order of Knights into his firearm, called it “Fallen Hope”, and traveled from battlefield to battlefield. Due to the many victories it earned, even after its owner’s death, the weapon made its way back to the Magisters and was studied for any special abilities.

Upon analysis, it was discovered that this firearm had been modified several times using Vulgus ammunition and technology. The Magisters were surprised that an individual who could modify a weapon to this degree even existed. They optimized the crude modification components so other Descendants could use them as well.
