The First Descendant Update Released, Here’s What’s New

The First Descendant is holding strong still with over 100,000 active players right now on Steam at the time of publishing, and developer NExon is trying to keep up with those players by putting out updates and hotfixes since the game’s June release. One of those releases was made available just this week with Nexon releasing Hotfix 1.0.6 for players to try out. It’s lighter on the content side since its a hotfix and not a full-on update, but it’s still got some improvements for different parts of the game as well as two quality-of-life content changes.

Again, since it’s just a hotfix, the patch notes for this release are pretty brief with most of the changes relegated to bugfixes. You can see those patch notes in full below courtesy of the changelist share by Nexon this week: 

Content Improvements

• An indicator will be displayed when a slot item that already expanded the relevant slots to the limit is included as bundle content, making it easier to check.
• Also, the price of the slot item will be deducted from the overall bundle price before the purchase, if the number of the slots already reached the limit.

Optimization Improvements

• [PS5] Improved some CPU load issues.

Bug Fixes

Battle Pass

• Fixed an issue where the acquisition of Supply coin as a reward for Season/Weekly Challenge was not possible.
• If you completed the Season/Weekly Challenge before the patch, you will receive the Supply Coins upon logging in after the update.

Mission

• Fixed an issue where fewer monsters were being spawned during the “Fortress Outskirts” mission in White-night Gulch.
• Fixed an issue where outposts would start without cooldown.
