Wave of Light is arguably The First Descendant's most powerful Scout Rifle. Naturally, players who love scoped semi-auto gameplay will want to pick it up at some point. Unfortunately, a rather convoluted farming process is part and parcel of being an Ultimate Weapon, as you'll have to collect four separate parts to craft it. Unlike Descendants or their Ult forms, these cannot be purchased for Caliber (The First Descendant's Premium currency).
Moreover, the parts themselves drop from AMPs (Amorphous Material Patterns), which adds another layer of RNG. In this handy farming guide for Wave of Light in The First Descendant, we'll list the most efficient sources for its components.
How to craft Wave of Light in The First Descendant
To craft Wave of Light in The First Descendant, you will have to farm specific AMPs that can drop four of its components. Although many AMPs drop these components, we have shown the best ones below—those that you can farm and open faster.
Wave of Light Nano Tube
Wave of Light Nano Tube Blueprint has a 32% chance of dropping from AMP 098 - Mutant AA. You can farm this AMP from the Vulgus Outpost in The Mountaintops (Hard), White-Night Gulch. You can farm this without a Sharen, as it's a 25% drop chance from the regular loot pool. Stealthing this outpost can give you the Shape Stabilizer 6, but do not apply it if you're trying to get the Wave of Light Nano Tube.
This AMP can be opened at the Abyssal Void Reactor in the same region. The cost of opening each Reconstruction Device is 45 Inorganic Void Shards.
Once you have the blueprint, here are all the materials you need to craft the component:
- 108x Silicon
- 91x Nanopolymer
- 8x Cooling Metalic Foil

Wave of Light Synthetic Fiber
The Wave of Light Synthetic Fiber Blueprint can drop from AMP 016, which is itself a guaranteed drop from the Sepulcher Operation in Vespers.
However, for a greater chance (32%) of getting the actual component, a much better option is AMP 120. This can be farmed from the Converter Facility (Hard) Vulgus Outpost in Fortress. However, it opens in the Abyssal Void Reactor in the adjacent Fallen Ark area (requires 45 Monomer Void Shards).
To craft the component, you need:
- 143x Superfluid
- 72x Semi-permanent Plasma
- 10x Positive Ion Particle
Wave of Light Polymer Synctium
To get the Polymer Synctium Blueprint, you should stock up on some AMP 068 - Mutant AA, which is easily farmed from the Unknown Laboratory (Hard) Operation in Sterile Lands. To open that, you'll have to kill the Dead Bride boss in Hard Mode.
After getting the blueprint, here's what you need for crafting it:
- 62x Monad Shard
- 73x Flectorite
- 12x Negative Ion Particle
Wave of Light Blueprint
The main Wave of Light Blueprint has a 32% chance of dropping from AMP 076. This is a guaranteed drop from the Sepulcher Operation (Hard) in Vespers, openable by beating the Devourer boss in Hard mode.
Once you have this and all other required materials, you can take it to Anais and Albion to craft Wave of Light in The First Descendant.
