Rounds Per Magazine
Firearm Critical Hit Damage
Firearm ATK
Fire ATK

In any order. Try to upgrade the Weapon Readjustments to at least purple quality.

Weapon Cores

Weapon Cores juice up your damage quite tremendously. However, especially the later-level Weapon Cores are difficult to get. So start with whatever weapon cores you have available. Weapon Cores drop in the Void Erosion Purge endgame activity.

Higher level Weapon Cores drop in the higher level Void Erosion Purge levels in The First Descendant. However, you can gradually work towards the highest level. I recommend trying to get to level six as soon as possible, since it won’t require to clear many stages and will already increase the power of your weapon tremendously.

Best Weapon Cores for the Divine Punishment:

Firearm ATK (Free Augmentation)
Firearm ATK (Firearm Augmentation)
Fire ATK (Attribute Augmentation)
Fire Rate (Tactical Augmentation)
Aimed Shot Accuracy (Precision Augmentation)

Divine Punishment Lore Info

The Magisters discovered its many effects as they reverse engineered this weapon, which originally belonged to the Vulgus Order of Truth. The weapon called Divine Punishment was of special note. It displays the Order of Truth’s special power by using Arche and materializing it in a similar form.

They originally sought to demonstrate the power of this Order of Truth firearm through the use of Arche. The Order of Truth has been known to trigger a special phenomenon like Arche, a phenomenon that cannot be explained simply with a firearm’s performance ability.

The Magisters claimed this mysterious power was the foundation upon which the survival of the Order of Truth rested.

This religious power is thought to be the result of a special device transplanted only into members of the Vulgus Order of Truth, but due to the group’s impenetrable nature, even the Magisters cannot be sure.
