The First Descendant Patch 1.4.7 Is Live With Gley’s Fire Rate Bonus Removed

The First Descendant Patch 1.4.7 is live on Steam, Xbox, and PS5 after going up at 12:00 a.m. PDT on Oct. 29, in line with the previously announced schedule. The update removes Gley’s 20% Fire Rate Increase from Massacre and Super Senses’ Slaughter, adds new Transcendent Weapon rewards, and starts two events. Nexon’s Steam patch notes also ask players to reconnect for smoother gameplay.

The Gley change applies to Gley and Ultimate Gley. Nexon explains that Massacre’s Unique Weapon inherits the equipped firearm’s base performance, and its fire-rate bonus could stack with the already-high performance of a Transcendent Weapon. The bonus is now removed from both Massacre and Slaughter when Super Senses is equipped. Nexon says the adjustment addresses damage from certain combinations while preserving Gley’s distinct combat style.

For players chasing high-quality weapons, Bounty Operations now have a 3.06% chance to award Transcendent Weapon Loot on mission completion, with Quality 271 to 400. Defeating a Commander can also grant the loot at a low chance. Void Erosion Purge: Normal adds another route, with a 1.33% mission-completion chance and possible Quality ranging from 101 to 350 depending on the stage. The new rewards add to other ways to farm Quality 400 Transcendent Weapons.

The Spreading Breach and Eerie Dice Run events are underway through Nov. 16 at 22:59 PST. A later group of Ancestors Module events is scheduled to begin after the Nov. 5 patch, including free daily readjustments and a weekend discount. The update also makes Gold and Kuiper Shard boosts apply to Daily and Weekly Content rewards.

Descendant Rebalance/Improvements

• Transcendent Module: Super Senses
• Slaughter
• Removed the 20% Fire Rate Increase.

Designer’s Comments

The Unique Weapon for “Massacre” inherits the base performance of the equipped Firearm, with its structure designed to Increase Fire Rate through Skill effects.

However, when “Massacre” is used while a Transcendent Weapon is equipped, the Fire Rate Increase effect of the Unique Weapon stacks on top of the Transcendent Weapon’s already high base performance,

resulting in damage that significantly exceeds the intended balance range.

To address this, we’re keeping the common standards that apply to Unique Weapons while adjusting the Fire Rate Increase effect of “Massacre” to bring the excessively high damage efficiency back in line.

This adjustment is intended to normalize the excessive performance seen in certain combinations, and we’ve carefully reviewed the changes to ensure that Gley’s unique combat style and strengths are preserved.

We understand this change may be disappointing for those of you who have been enjoying this combination, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Going forward, we will continue to closely review different pieces of equipment and skill combinations to maintain a stable and balanced experience for all players.
