If you’ve spent any time grinding co-op missions or boss fights in The First Descendant, you’ve probably seen other players zipping around maps with the electric, high-mobility Ultimate Bunny and wondered how to get your hands on her. Unlike base Bunny, this upgraded variant brings boosted skill damage, faster cooldowns, and a unique ultimate ability that clears entire waves of enemies in seconds. This guide will walk you through exactly how to unlock Ultimate Bunny the first descendant, from pre-requisite missions to the trickiest material farms you’ll need to complete to add her to your roster.
Pre-Requisites You Need to Meet Before You Unlock Ultimate Bunny in The First Descendant
First off, you can’t start the Ultimate Bunny unlock process if you haven’t checked a few key boxes first. Skipping these will mean you won’t even see the relevant quests pop up in your mission menu, so double check this list before you waste time farming the wrong content. First, you need to be player rank 35 or higher – this unlocks access to the Hard difficulty Void Intercept Battles that drop rare upgrade components. Second, you need to have completed the main story quest “Void Chasm Resurgence” to unlock the Special Event mission tab in your mission selector. Third, you need to have the base Bunny character unlocked and leveled to at least rank 20, since the upgrade quest requires you to turn in a fully leveled base Bunny as part of the unlock requirement.
I made the mistake of grinding for materials first when I was rank 32, and I couldn’t even pick up the quest when I finally had all the parts, so don’t make that same error. You can check if you’re eligible by heading to the Operations Desk in Albion and looking for the blue “Ultimate Bunny: Awakening” quest marker. If it’s not there, you’re missing one of the pre-requisites.
All Required Materials to Craft Ultimate Bunny
Once you’ve met all pre-requisites and picked up the “Ultimate Bunny: Awakening” quest from the Operations Desk, you’ll need to collect four rare components plus a handful of common materials to craft her. None of these are locked behind paywalls, but some have fairly low drop rates, so we’ve noted the fastest farms for each below. The full list of required items is:
- 3x Ultimate Bunny Core: Drops from the Hard difficulty Void Intercept Battle: Viper, with a 12% drop chance per clear. You can boost this drop rate by 5% if you run the mission with a full 4-player squad.
- 15x Electric Core Shards: Farmed from the Lightning Supply Run event mission on Normal difficulty, drops 2-4 shards per run on average.
- 50,000 Credit: Earned from any mission, but fastest from selling excess rare modules you don’t use or completing weekly repeatable challenges.
- 1x Max Rank Base Bunny: As noted earlier, you need to level your standard Bunny to rank 20 and have no active loadouts using her before you can turn her in for the upgrade.
You don’t have to collect these in any specific order, but we recommend farming the Ultimate Bunny Cores first since they have the lowest drop rate. I’ve had runs where I got two cores in a row, and other times I went 10 runs without a single drop, so don’t get discouraged if you have bad luck for an hour or two. Running the mission with friends who also need the cores will make the grind feel a lot faster, too.
Step-by-Step Unlock Process Once You Have All Materials
Once you’ve collected every item on the required list, the actual unlock process only takes a few minutes, but there’s one small quirk that a lot of players miss that can delay you getting Ultimate Bunny. First, head back to the Operations Desk in Albion and turn in the “Ultimate Bunny: Awakening” quest to get the Ultimate Bunny crafting blueprint. Next, go to the Crafting Station and select the “Character Upgrades” tab to find the Ultimate Bunny recipe. You’ll need to confirm that you want to consume your max rank base Bunny to start the craft – this is permanent, so make sure you don’t have any builds saved on your base Bunny that you want to keep before you confirm.
The craft takes 2 hours of real time to complete, but you can skip the timer with 1,200 Premium Cubes if you want to use her right away. We don’t recommend skipping the timer unless you have extra Premium Cubes lying around, since 1,200 cubes is enough to buy two premium battle pass tiers or a rare cosmetic pack. I skipped the timer when I unlocked her, and I regret it now, since I later realized I could have used those cubes for a limited time emote pack I wanted way more. So just wait the two hours, it’s not that long.
Once the craft finishes, you’ll get a notification in your in-game mail, and Ultimate Bunny will be added to your character roster immediately. You can level her up the same way you level any other character, by running missions and using character XP potions.
First Things to Do After You Unlock Ultimate Bunny
Once you have Ultimate Bunny in your roster, you’ll want to set her up to get the most out of her unique kit right away. First, equip her signature Lightning Dash module that drops from the same Viper Void Intercept Battle you ran for her cores. This module reduces her dash cooldown by 40% and adds electric damage to every enemy you pass through while dashing, which makes her even more mobile and deadly for crowd control.
Second, take her into a few low-difficulty Supply Run missions first to get used to her kit, since her playstyle is a lot faster than most other characters in the game. Her ultimate ability, Electric Storm, deals continuous AoE damage to every enemy within a 15-meter radius for 8 seconds, but it uses 70% of her energy bar, so you’ll want to time it right when you’re surrounded by large groups of enemies or fighting a boss’s weak point phase. She’s also one of the best characters for speedrunning missions, so if you’re farming materials for other characters, she’ll cut your run time down by almost 30% in most cases.
If you plan to use her in high-difficulty co-op missions, make sure you pair her with a support character like Ultimate Ajax to cover her low health pool. She’s incredibly squishy if you get hit by heavy boss attacks, so you’ll need to rely on her mobility to avoid damage instead of tanking hits like you would with a melee character. That said, when built correctly, she’s one of the highest damage per second characters in the entire game, so the grind to unlock her is absolutely worth it.
At the end of the day, the grind to unlock Ultimate Bunny the first descendant is one of the most rewarding upgrades you can get in the game, whether you play mostly solo or with a full squad. The pre-requisites and material farms don’t take more than 6 to 8 hours of total playtime for most players, and once you have her, she’ll make almost every other grind in the game feel faster and more fun. Don’t forget to experiment with different module builds to find what works best for your playstyle, and you’ll be zipping through maps and clearing boss fights in no time.
