How To Get Thunder Cage
The Thunder Cage is a powerful submachine gun. It is classified as an ultimate weapon, meaning it packs a serious punch compared to standard firearms.

Here are all the steps you need to follow to unlock this unique masterpiece:
The Research
The only way to acquire the Thunder Cage in The First Descendant is through Research. It takes a long time to obtain this weapon, but it’s all worth it. Following the main story will lead you to unlock a Sub Quest to get the Thunder Cage.
Simplify the process by opening up your Quest menu. From here you can track the Research Request for the Thunder Cage. You will be provided with marked information, eventually allowing you to proceed with the sub-quest.
If the Sub Quest doesn’t pop up, keep following the storyline until it does.
