If you’ve spent any time scrolling through The First Descendant’s community feeds or running co-op missions with random players, you’ve almost certainly spotted the bright, playful bunny suit popping up on characters across lobbies. This whimsical cosmetic is one of the most sought-after rare outfits in the game, and a lot of players are confused about how to get the bunny suit in The First Descendant, since it’s not listed in the in-game store or tied to any obvious main story mission. I spent three days grinding out the requirements last month to unlock it for my main, so I’m breaking down every step you need to follow, no hidden hoops or vague advice included.
Prerequisites You Need to Complete Before You Can Get the Bunny Suit in The First Descendant
First off, you can’t even start the quest line for the bunny suit until you hit a few basic milestones, so don’t waste time hunting for it if you’re still working through the early game. You’ll need to have cleared the Vespers Ruin main story mission first, which unlocks once you hit character level 22 and have upgraded your base Void Intercept Battery to level 3. That mission is the point where most of the game’s hidden side content opens up, so it’s no surprise the bunny suit quest is locked behind it.
You also need to have at least 15,000 free credits on hand before you start the quest, as you’ll need to pay a small fee to a hidden NPC to get the initial quest prompt. I missed this part on my first run, so I had to grind two extra supply runs to scrape together the credits before I could proceed. You don’t need any specific character unlocked for this quest, but I recommend using a fast-moving character like Bunny (ironically enough) or Viessa to cut down on travel time between quest points.
Before you head out to find the quest giver, double check you have all of these requirements checked off to avoid wasted trips:
How to Find the Hidden NPC That Starts the Bunny Suit Quest
Once you’ve checked off all the prerequisites, you’ll need to track down the hidden NPC that gives you the bunny suit quest, since they don’t show up on your default map. The NPC, a vendor named Lila, spawns only in the northern corner of the Frost Wasteland region, between the abandoned ice factory and the small outpost marked with a blue tent icon on your expanded map. She only spawns between 6 PM and 2 AM in-game time, so if you show up during the day, you’ll just find an empty crate where she usually stands.
When you find her, she’ll ask you to run three small fetch quests for her before she gives you the main bunny suit unlock task. These quests are super straightforward: you’ll need to collect 12 frozen rabbit pelts from ice wolves in the surrounding area, 5 glowing star moss from the caves just west of her location, and deliver a small package to the outpost vendor in the nearby desert region. None of these require combat with high-level enemies, but you should bring a weapon with cold resistance if you don’t want to take chip damage while you hunt for the pelts.
Once you turn in those three fetch quests, Lila will give you the main quest called “Floppy Ears and Fast Feet”, which is the final task you need to complete to unlock the suit. Don’t abandon this quest once you pick it up, or you’ll have to wait 24 in-game hours for Lila to spawn again to reaccept it, which is a huge waste of time.
Completing the Final Bunny Suit Unlock Mission
The final mission is a timed solo run through a small hidden dungeon, located right under Lila’s spawn point. You’ll have 12 minutes to clear 5 waves of level 25 enemies, then defeat a small mini-boss called the Frost Hare at the end of the dungeon. The enemies are all ice-type, so if you bring a fire damage weapon, you’ll melt through them in half the time. I used a level 24 incinerator rifle for my run, and I finished with almost 4 minutes left on the clock, so it’s totally doable even if your gear isn’t fully maxed out.
There are a few secret chests scattered around the dungeon if you want to pick up extra loot, but don’t waste time hunting for them if you’re cutting it close on the timer. The only thing that matters is clearing the waves and defeating the Frost Hare before the 12 minutes are up. If you fail the run, you can retry immediately as many times as you want, no cooldown period required, so don’t get frustrated if you mess up your first attempt.
Once you defeat the Frost Hare, you’ll get a bunny suit blueprint as a guaranteed drop, no random loot rolls involved. You won’t find any other guide that tells you this, but the Frost Hare is weak to fire damage, which cuts down the time to beat it by half and makes getting the bunny suit far faster than most players expect. Take the blueprint back to Lila, hand it over, and she’ll give you the full bunny suit cosmetic to equip on any of your characters.
Tips to Customize and Get the Most Out of Your Bunny Suit
Once you have the bunny suit unlocked, you can customize it at the cosmetic station in your main base, just like any other outfit. You can change the color of the suit, the ears, and even add small accessories like a bow tie or a tiny backpack if you’ve unlocked those cosmetic items through other gameplay. The suit works for every character in the game, so you don’t have to be stuck using it only on your main if you prefer switching between characters regularly.
One hidden perk a lot of players don’t know about is that the bunny suit gives you a small 5% movement speed boost when you’re wearing it in open world areas. It doesn’t apply in mission dungeons or PvP matches, but it’s a nice little bonus for running around gathering materials or traveling between quest points. It’s not a game-changing buff, but it’s a fun little extra that makes the grind feel even more worth it.
If you want to show off your bunny suit in co-op missions, you can toggle the cosmetic visibility option in your settings to make sure other players can see it, even if you have your armor skin set to default. You don’t have to worry about losing the suit if you delete a character or restart your game progress, either. All cosmetic unlocks are tied to your account, not individual characters, so you’ll have access to it forever once you unlock it. I’ve switched my main three times since I unlocked the suit last month, and I can still equip it on every new character I make, no extra work required.
All told, it takes most players between 3 and 5 hours to unlock the suit from start to finish, depending on how much of the prerequisite content they’ve already completed. It’s one of the most fun, low-effort hidden unlocks in the game, and it’s a great way to make your character stand out in co-op lobbies. Now that you know how to get the bunny suit in The First Descendant, you can skip all the vague community tips and broken quest guides floating around online, and jump straight into unlocking the suit for yourself. Just don’t forget to check the in-game time before you head out to find Lila, or you might end up waiting around for hours for her to spawn.
