In the First Descendant, weapon stats are randomly generated for all weapons when they are picked up as loot or picked up after crafting. You can change (or re-roll) them through the Weapon Readjustment system. Each weapon has four random traits or stats that can be rerolled to find the ideal trait. These regenerated traits are also random and so is their quality. Therefore, expect to spend a lot of materials to min-max the perfect roll.

How to Upgrade The Last Dagger
To level up the xxx weapon, you’re able to increase module capacity, level transmissions weapon to your current level, readjust the weapon traits, or enhance the weapon’s unique ability. The First Descendant provides several different avenues for upgrading and improving your weapons by using their repair station Workbench. The Workbench is located in the same general area as Anais and weapons seller Deslin on the west side of Albion. Below are the various methods for upgrading weapons in the First Descendant:
Maximum Module Capacity
When upgrading weapon mods, be aware there is an increased cost and a max module capacity of 80. The material needed is Energy Activators, and you will get one of these after playing through the end of the campaign, or you can craft them with Anais. Therefore, you want to balance increasing mods and not attempt to max out every one. A balanced approach to firearm ATK, critical chance, and critical damage is the best (+3 or so to each).
Weapon Transmission
Each time you craft an Ultimate weapon in The First Descendant, you will find that it is a low Level 1 firearm after collecting it from Anais. However, you can easily bring it up to your current weapon level using the Workbench Weapon Transmission mechanic.
Finally, you will need to reach Mastery Rank 3.
To level up The Last Dagger in The First Descendant, you will need:
To get Superalloy and Liquid Metal in the First Descendant you will need to dismantle many weapons you don’t want by junking them. This breaks down the weapon into crafting materials you can use to make other items. Consequently, we highly recommend breaking down all of your excess weapons instead of selling them. Credits are easier to earn just by playing the game and completing missions.

Weapon Readjustment
In The First Descendant, the Weapon Readjustment mechanic allows you to use the Workbench to re-roll your weapon stats. Moreover, you can re-roll all of your stats at once, or lock individual stats you like and only re-roll the ones you want to change.
Finally, you will need to reach Master Rank 4 to unlock Weapon Readjustment at the Workbench.

To change The Last Dagger stats in The First Descendant, you will need:
Enhance Unique Ability
Each Ultimate weapon in The First Descendant comes with a unique ability that gives it a powerful effect and you can enhance the power of these abilities. This is another mechanic that you will use at the repair station Workbench, and it unlocks at Mastery Rank 5.
However, unlike Weapon Transmission and Weapon Readjustment there is no unique crafting material you will need to create and use. To enhance the unique ability of The Last Dagger, you will have to craft a duplicate. Then, take that Level 1 duplicate to the Workbench and sacrifice it to upgrade the The Last Dagger ability to a stronger version.
How To Use The Last Dagger
The best way to use Last Dagger is by aiming at weak points and headshots to trigger its unique effect. The Last Dagger’s recoil will be high with five stacks; therefore, focus on upgrading the unique ability of this weapon for optimal usage. Also, when you enhance your round, try to target an enemy that can be stunned. The stun status effect can be helpful to eliminate pressure while the enemy is disoriented, and other mechanics in the game boost damage to stunned targets.
Your overall gameplay is centered on aiming for weak points and criticals at mid to close range with The Last Dagger. Continue to build stacks looking to the left of your UI and reset the buff for a free stunning shot.
