The First Descendant’s August 6 Events Will Offer Free Readjustments and Upgrade Rewards

The First Descendant will receive five new in-game events after the August 6, 2026 patch. The Patch 1.3.37 lineup will run through August 19 and includes a cooperative community event, daily progression rewards, discounted Ancestors Module readjustments, and one free readjustment each day.

Nexon detailed the schedule in its official Steam event notice. Players can check the full reward details in the Game Menu by opening ESC > Event.

Assemble Event II runs across two weekly missions

Fragments can also come from dismantling Ancestors Modules obtained through the BB-On Shop. They must be spent before the event ends. Exchanged rewards cannot be returned or traded for other rewards.

Finally, Today’s Readjustment Benefit will give players one free Ancestors Module readjustment per day during the same August 6-August 19 event period. The first readjustment each day has its cost reduced by 100%, regardless of the module’s current readjustment count. The benefit resets at 12:00 a.m. PDT.
