Bunny is one of the best characters in The First Descendant, and here’s exactly how you can unlock her and her Ultimate form.

The First Descendant has a fun mix of characters for players to try in some high-octane third-person shooting action, and Bunny is currently sitting at the top of our tier list.

Using a speed suit that continuously charges an electric current while she runs, Bunny’s offensive skills are unique. She’s a standout fighter who’s well worth unlocking.

How to get Bunny in The First Descendant

To unlock Bunny in The First Desendent, you need to craft her Bunny Suit by completing her research which involves following the main story until you reach the early quest called Obtain Bunny Suit Basic Materials.

The materials you need to gather and the missions you need to get them from are as follows:

  • Bunny Enhanced Cells (Vulgus Field Generator)
  • Bunny Stabilizer (Infiltrate the Magister Lab)
  • Bunny Spiral Catalyst (Vulgus Data Transmitter)
  • Bunny Amorphous Material Pattern (Slumber Valley)

You’ll need to gather specific materials to unlock Bunny.

Finally, you’ll need to hunt down and kill a Gravewalker for the final piece of the puzzle, the Bunny Code. The Gravewalker is a tanky robot that you can find by accessing the Normal difficulty Void Intercept Battle option via the Map screen. You can select the Gravewalker mission from here and defeat it to get the Code.

We’d recommend heading into the battle in co-op with friends as this big robot is very tanky and you’ll be on a time limit during the mission. Thankfully, the game details the Gravewalker’s weaknesses to you before you begin the mission, so simply target them, and have a gun with Piercing Ammo in your loadout and you should be successful.

Finally, return to Anais to turn in the quest to research and unlock Bunny for x40,000 Credits. Once this has been completed, Bunny will become a playable character on the roster and you can indulge your need for speed.

Thankfully Bunny is a standard character in The First Descendant meaning the path to unlocking her is fairly straightforward compared to Ultimate characters.

In her Ultimate form, Bunny can make constant DPS attacks, doing more damage than usual. The more she runs, the greater the electrical energy she accumulates, allowing her to release this energy in a powerful shockwave. She’s a powerful unit and well worth unlocking if you can.

Bunny skills

Like all characters in The First Descendant, Bunny has her own set of unique passive and active skills that set her apart from her peers.

Bunny can blast enemies with jets of electricity.

Here’s what each skill does:

Passive Skill

  • Rabbit Foot – Builds up Electricity charge while moving. Once Bunny stops, the accumulated Electricity can be used to deal damage to nearby enemies when landing a Double Jump.

Active Skills

  • Thrill Bomb – Spawns a Bomb that damages a nearby enemy. This damage increases depending on how much electric energy Bunny has gathered from running.
  • Speed of Light – Increases Sprint Speed and lets Bunny continuously run while active
  • Lightning Emission – Deals damage to enemies when moving. This damage increases depending on how much electric energy Bunny has gathered from running.
  • Maximum Power – Blast Electricity in front of Bunny, dealing damage to enemies that are in her path. This damage increases depending on how much electric energy Bunny has gathered from running and ends when the Electricity runs out.

Who is Bunny?

Abandoned by her parents as a child and raised by her grandmother, Bunny learned to become swift on her feet as a petty criminal, avoiding the authorities and always running from trouble. After stealing an electronic grenade from the police, the experimental bomb exploded while in Bunny’s possession.

However, instead of killing her, the blast triggered Bunny’s latent Arche abilities, with the electric current fused with her, giving her superhuman speed and electric powers. While recovering in hospital, the authorities offered Bunny a position among the Descendants and she agreed – providing her criminal record was wiped.

Bunny now takes care of her grandmother with the money she earns fighting as a Descendant and is determined to find out what happened to her parents.
