The First Descendant 1.3.29b lands with module fixes and a leaderboard reset

The First Descendant Hotfix 1.3.29b went live on May 29, 2026 at 17:00 PDT across Steam, Xbox, and PS5. Nexon told players to reconnect after updating and warned that the game may close if it is left unpatched for more than an hour.

It follows earlier cleanup work such as Hotfix 1.3.19d, which adjusted Wall Crasher reward behavior.

Patch Notes

This hotfix centers on the Trigger Module “Explosive Aesthetics”, a few progression and UI bugs, and a leaderboard reset tied to two Trigger Modules. The leaderboard reset is scheduled for May 29, 2026 at 18:10 PDT.

• Fixed an issue where some option values of the owned Trigger Module “Explosive Aesthetics” were being incorrectly applied.
• The issue where this module could not be traded has also been fixed.
• If you have listed “Explosive Aesthetics” with incorrect option values on the Web Trade Market, please re-register it after the patch.
• Fixed an issue where the “Forced Shaping” button was being exposed when opening Container Boxes after clearing a Void Vessel.
• Fixed an issue where the Vehicle Booster usage time would decrease when using certain Descendants.
• Fixed an issue where research acceleration was not being applied when accepting “Other Infiltration Support.”
• Due to unintended functionality of the Trigger Modules ‘Current Bonding’ and ‘Explosive Aesthetics’, the Leaderboard will be reset for Descendants who have used these modules.
• Leaderboard Reset Schedule: 05.29.2026 (Fri) 18:10 PDT
• Affected Leaderboards: Void Intercept Battle: Void Abyss / Challenge Mode ‘Solo’ category, Void Erosion Purge – Challenge ‘Solo’ category
