Introduction & Personal Quest/Special Weapon mechanism
Heavy spoiler alert for story-oriented players! Decide carefully before you scroll down!

One of the new contents from the previous updates is Personal Quests, which awards all participating characters with whooping 1000XP, and special weapons belonged to different corresponding characters. These special weapons have unique names, higher damage, higher selling value and different stats comparing to original models, they have different weapon skills comparing with original models as well.

Some of you have asked about how to unlock personal quests, well, the answer is: when your characters in party received 7000+ XP in total (using it for skills won't affect it so please do upgrade your characters as you want), the quests will open, you can also find the titles for different quests under the characters' codex. Currently, Helena the telephone operator's mission is repeatable somehow, possibly due to a bug.
