The First Descendant Hotfix 1.4.3c Will Fix Hailey, Luna, and Weapon Skill Issues

The First Descendant Hotfix 1.4.3c is scheduled to address a blocked Hailey quest, missing weapon bonuses for Lepic and Jayber, and an overperforming Luna setup. The official Steam announcement schedules the patch for September 18, 2026, at 20:00 PDT on Steam, XBOX, and PS5. It follows The First Descendant Hotfix 1.4.3b, which corrected a separate Cradle of Evolution loot-quality issue during the same 1.4.3 hotfix cycle.

Players should reconnect after the patch is applied. The notice also warns that the game may close if it is not updated within 1 hour of the patch.

Luna’s Remix Skill receives the most visible gameplay adjustment. When Battlefield Artist is equipped, its range and Enhanced State trigger damage will be reduced, and the change will reset Solo leaderboard records for Luna and Ultimate Luna at 21:00 PDT. The patch also addresses a blue tint affecting characters and backgrounds when players open the Inventory.
