The First Descendant patch 1.3.32 tightens Shape Stabilizers and clears a long fix list
The June 25 update touched Shape Stabilizers, direct map entry for operations, and fixes across descendants, monsters, Onslaught Mode, and UI on Steam, Xbox, and PS5.
Nexon pushed The First Descendant Patch 1.3.32 on June 25, 2026 at 00:00 PDT for Steam, Xbox, and PS5, and the studio asked players to reconnect after the update for smoother gameplay.
The patch leans on a faster Shape Stabilizer flow, adds direct world-map entry for Infiltration Operations and Special Operations, and folds in fixes for weapons, monsters, Onslaught Mode, and several UI issues. For context, the earlier broader pass in patch 1.3.20 covered a wider set of changes.
The First Descendant Patch 1.3.32 Patch Notes
Content Improvements
(1) “Shape Stabilizer” Item Function Change
– The function has been changed so that using a Shape Stabilizer when Shaping Amorphous Material causes the Shaping Count to accumulate more quickly.
– Additional Shaping Count per Shape Stabilizer
ㄴ Common Shape Stabilizer: Shaping Count +1
ㄴ Advanced Shape Stabilizer: Shaping Count +5
– When using a Shape Stabilizer, the existing probability correction effect will not be applied.
– Only a Shape Stabilizer matching the Type of each Amorphous Material can be used.
(2) Equipment & Modules
– Fixed an issue where the Movement Speed when acquiring a Holdable item would be adjusted to match the Movement Speed of the equipped Firearm.
(3) Monsters
– Improved the shape of the Barrier in the Safe Zone created when the Commander “The Administrator” uses the Immunity Phase skill in the Infiltration Operation “Bastion of Immortality.”
(4) UI & UX
– Infiltration Operations and Special Operations can now be entered directly from the Field by clicking their icons on the World Map.
(5) Miscellaneous
– No Longer Usable Blueprints will now be dismantled via the “Info Grid Extract” function.
