The First Descendant 1.0.7 Patch Notes

Content Improvements

Interim Review

If you do not select “Abort” or “Continue” during an Interim Review in Special Operations, “Abort” will be selected automatically.

Hard Intercept Battle: Frost Walker

Lowered the difficulty of mechanics:
1. Destroying Frenzied parts will now generate two Embers.
2. Increased the maximum threshold of the Frenzy Gauge, reducing the number of times the Colossus becomes Frenzied.
3. When using slug shots on the Frenzied Colossus, its leg movements will be reduced, making it easier to aim at its Weak Points.

Void Intercept Battle

Characters will no longer receive damage when they are in a hazardous area once the Void Intercept Battle ends.
When “Molten Fortress” is defeated, the lava on the ground is now removed immediately.
When “Swamp Walker” is defeated, the “Disease” status effect is now removed immediately.

Restart Function

The restart function for Void Intercept Battles, Special Operations, and Infiltration Operations is now separated into two types: “Start with the current Squad” and “Restart Mission.” The time available for “Start with the current Squad” is also increased to 60 seconds.
The display animation for Amorphous Materials when using a Reconstructing Device has been simplified, letting you quickly check the materials.

Field

In the “Echo Swamp – Derelict Covert”, Void Fragment (Toxic) monsters will now spawn faster.
The HP of monsters in Void Fusion Reactors has been reduced, and they will now drop more ammo and recovery orbs when you defeat them.

Battle Pass

We identified an issue where the requirements for the Battle Pass Week 6 Challenge “Wouldn’t It Hurt More If My Rifle Fired Harder?” were not met retroactively. We changed the requirements to “Enhance Rifling Reinforcement to Level 3.”
Reduced the difficulty of Weekly Challenges for Battle Pass Week 7 and 8, also increasing the amount of reward EXP and Supply Coins.

In the Consumables menu of the Library, you can now see the amount of consumables you currently have.
When receiving all Lost and Found items, if there is not enough Inventory space, you can now only receive items according to the remaining space.
When the Unique Abilities of an Ultimate Weapon permanently change the weapon’s default performance, you can now check the changes on the basic info screen.

Descendants

Fixed the amount of Recovery displayed on the skill tooltip for Yujin so that it matches the improvements made to his Recovery amount in Hotfix 1.0.6.
By overhauling the formula of Yujin’s Recovery skill, the amount of Recovery has been slightly increased for Skill Level 4.
You can now gain Weapon Proficiency when you defeat an enemy with a Unique Weapon (e.g. Luna’s Stage Presence).
You can now acquire Luna’s “Noise Surge” Modification Module in the Hard Intercept Battle “Executioner.”

Miscellaneous

[Console] Fixed an issue where searching “Fire”, “Chill”, and “Electric” with auto-suggestions for Descendant Modules also filtered other attributes.
