The second season of The First Descendant is here! Players can now download The First Descendant update 1.35 on last-gen consoles, and update version 1.035 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. This brings Season 2: Void Chaser into the game, which includes new Descendants in Keelan and Ultimate Sharen, the Void Vessel operation, and so much more.

As with every major patch for the game, this houses a ton of information. Given that cosmetics are the least important item in the entire lot, the Season 2 Battle Pass information is provided as a link out, as we’ve prioritized putting the new gameplay content and changes before it.

The First Descendant Update 1.35 for Season 2 Delivers a Load of New Content

New Episode: Void Chaser

– An unknown ship has been found abandoned at the Void Abyss where radars could not penetrate. Severely mutated Colossi were also detected to be on the move.

– “Void Chaser,” the new episode of Season 2, adds a new main quest and various content related to the Void and Colossus.

– The new main quest, “Void Vessel Alarm”, can be started by talking to Nell at the Headquarters after reaching Mastery Rank 8.

– Even if you proceed with the Void Vessel main quest first, the progress of your existing main quest will remain unchanged.

※The “Bastion of Eternity” progresses independently from the main quest. The disappeared Vulgus fleet and Karel’s schemes will return soon.

New Content: Void Vessel 

– Including Vulgus vessels destroyed while crossing dimensions, the Void Space has many drifting spaces. These potential threats called the ‘Void Vessel’ require investigation operations of the Descendants.

– The new content, the “Void Vessel Investigation Operation,” can be started after completing the “Unidentified Void Vessel Exploration Operation.”

– Features of the Void Vessel Operation are as follows.

ㄴ Various Champion Vulgus: Champion effects such as “Legion Shield” that can be destroyed with Descendant Skills, “Arche Obstruction” that can only be destroyed with firearms are added. 

ㄴ Void Vessel Commander “Dread Armor Force” has been added as a new commander Vulgus.

ㄴ One from three random paths are chosen for the Void Vessel Operation.

ㄴ You can acquire blueprints and materials for Fellow Enhancement Item research, materials for Keelan research, and Crystallization Catalyst research materials by inboxes that can be found on your way.

ㄴ Various tiers of Data Vaults appear per the Commander defeat time, and you can acquire research blueprints, code for the new Descendant Keelan or Fellow, and Crystallization Catalyst research material.      

ㄴ If you already own a Fellow, the reward acquisition chance of Data Vault changes.

– A Decryption Key is needed to open an Inbox. Completing Void Vessel Misson allows you to acquire Decryption Keys.

New Descendant: Keelan

– The new Descendant “Keelan” is added.

ㄴ You can acquire research blueprints, codes, and materials from the Void Vessel.

Keelan Skills

– Erosion: Using the skill increases the “Acidic Infusion Level” and grants “Agility” at every certain number of times. “Agility” effect increases the Skill Power and Movement Speed with each stack.

– Void Corrosion: Target an enemy to fire “Void Corrosion” and inflict “Acidic Decay” to the hit target. As the “Effect Range” increases, the number of “Max Target Count” increases, inflicting “Additional DMG” to enemies that are already affected by “Acidic Decay.”

– Onslaught: Dash forward to deal Damage to the pierced target and cause an explosion when completed to deal “Damage” and “Knockback” to nearby enemies. It inflicts “Acidic Decay” effect to the hit target and “Additional DMG” to enemies that are already affected by “Acidic Decay.” “Stack Cooldown” is decreased by a certain amount per the number of enemies pierced. While dashing, you do not receive DMG from some traps.

– Septic Gust: Deal Damage and inflict “Acidic Decay” to enemies within the range. Enemies already inflicted with “Acidic Decay” get “Blood Rot” effect. Enemies inflicted with “Blood Rot” explode after a certain period of time, dealing damage to nearby enemies.

– Tremor: If there are enemies within the range inflicted with “Acidic Decay,” deal Damage in proportion of the stacks count of the target’s “Acidic Decay.” If there are no enemies within range affected by “Acidic Decay,” the current stacks of “Onslaught“ will increase.

Skill Module

– Focus on Prey: “Void Corrosion” is converted to target a single target rather than multiple targets with an increased “Fire Count.” The “Max Stacks” of “Acidic Decay” is increased, increasing the peak of “Tremor” by the “Acidic Decay” stacks count.

– Mobile Strike: Converts “Septic Gust” to grant “Adventurous Spirit” to the player rather than dealing Damage. While “Adventurous Spirit” is in effect, using “Onslaught” does not decrease the stacks count, and causing additional “Continuous Damage” by granting “Accelerate Corrosion” to the pierced target.

– You can acquire Keelan Skill Module from Hard Infiltration Operation, Hard Intercept Battle, and Module Combine.

New Descendant: Ultimate Sharen

– “Ultimate Sharen” is added.

ㄴ You can acquire Blueprint and code with Amorphous Material.

ㄴ You can acquire Research Material from Infiltration Operation.

Skill Modules

– Area Suppression: “Flash Shortsword” is converted to throw “Daggers” to nearby enemies. “Daggers” pierce through enemies to a certain level. Hit targets get “Electrocution” debuff, and with a “Critical Hit,” the “Cooldown” is recovered by a certain amount by the hit count.

– Ambushed: “Movement Speed” increases in the “Active Camouflage” state. When you kill an enemy or deal a Critical Hit on an enemy, you regain “Active Camouflage” state with a set chance. “Shock Nuts” is converted to “Frangible Rounds” that deal Damage by hitting enemies, inflicting “Electrocution” to the target.

– You can acquire Ultimate Sharen Skill Module from Hard Difficulty Intercept Battle and Module Combine.

New Ultimate Equipment: Voltia

– You can acquire Voltia Equipment from Battle Pass.

Unique Ability – Chain Current

– Discharge “Chain Current” that links targets within a certain range when hitting on a target to deal damages to all linked targets.

– “Chain Current” deal “Additional DMG” to targets with “Anti-Void Shield” and “Anti-Arche Shield.” Enhancing Unique Abilities increases the chain count and shortens trigger cooldown.

New Ultimate Equipment: Hammer and Anvil

– You can acquire Blueprint and code with Amorphous Material.

– You can acquire Research Material from Infiltration Operation.

Unique Abilities – Multiple Barrels

– Press “Aim” button to change the weapon firing method rather than “aiming” to convert the “Ammo” fired per to the “Barrel.”

– “Rifled Barrel – Anvil” fires “Gyrojet Explosive Rounds.”

ㄴ “Gyrojet Explosive Rounds” inflict “Speed Reduction” to hit targets upon explosion. A larger damage is dealt when “max range explosion” compared to “collision explosion,” firing additional “Kuiper Shells” at the explosion point.

Addition of Hammer and Anvil Amorphous Material

– Amorphous Material Patterns 011-Variant AA, 025, 040, 053, 057, 069, 081-Variant AA, 091, 097-Variant AB, 099, 121, and 124 can no longer be acquired.

New Modules

– New Ultimate Firearm Modules are added to the newly added “Battle Proficiency” Group, not the existing “Special Mod” Group.

– They can be equipped together with the existing Ultimate Firearm Modules, so we diversified the range of options to offer an even better efficiency in certain situations depending on your choices of combination.

The First Descendant Season 2 Update 1.2.0 Fixes

Content Improvements

(1) Vulgus Largescale Outpost Improvements

– Modified the location and movement path of outpost spawn monsters that were interfering with Sharen’s infiltration.

ㄴ Vespers – Lost Supply Depot

ㄴ Agna Desert – The Storage, Miragestone

ㄴ White-night Gulch – Mountaintops, Shipment Base

ㄴ Hagios – Dune Base

(2) Missions

– Changed the objectives for field missions and infiltration operations, and improved monster placement.

Escort Missions

ㄴ Fixed the drone to move automatically even when you are not near them.

ㄴ The drone moves slower when you are not near them.

ㄴ Your Shield no longer drains when you are near the drone.

ㄴ You no longer have to defend the drone after completing the escort.

ㄴ Adjusted the escort travel distance for some missions to reduce the escort duration.

Defense Missions

ㄴ Defeating all monsters that spawn in a Defense Mission now completes the mission immediately.

ㄴ Same as Resource Defense Special Operations.

Multi-Assassination Missions

ㄴ The next wave of monsters now appear immediately when all monsters are defeated.

ㄴ Reduced the wait time caused by monster spawn animations.

Occupation Missions

ㄴ Reduced missions with 2 or more consecutive occupations to 1 occupation or replaced with Extermination.

ㄴ Reduced the time required for occupation and changed the mission time limit to 5 minutes.

ㄴ Increased the occupation range for some missions.

Miscellaneous

ㄴ Changed the locations where monsters spawn and spread out in all directions.

ㄴ Monsters that are difficult to deal with no longer spawn in multiple numbers simultaneously.

– Lowered the difficulty of missions in Invasion quests so that they don’t block progression.

ㄴ Changed the location of gimmick platforms to make it easier to progress.

ㄴ Decreased the proportion of ranged monsters and increased the proportion of melee monsters to help players respond to them during gimmicks.

ㄴ Lowered monster levels and reduced the number of monsters.

(3) Customization

Paint Feature

– Added more paintable targets

ㄴ The default Descendant head and body skins can now be painted.

ㄴ The default weapon skins can now be painted.

ㄴ Chest and back attachments can also be painted.

– Individual paint application

ㄴ Painted skins equipped by Descendants can now be saved individually.

ㄴ The same common skin can be painted and saved in different colors for each Descendant that equips it.

ㄴ Descendants that have Regular and Ultimate versions can also have their painted skins saved separately.

Paint Sorting Improvement

– The paints that have been applied to skins are now displayed at the top of the Paint list.

(4) Matchmaking Improvements

– To improve the matching experience, the matchmaking logic has been changed as follows:

Reduced network latency range when matching

ㄴ When matchmaking is requested, users in nearby areas will be searched first, and the range will gradually expand.

ㄴ Previously, the maximum search range was set somewhat wide, but the latency search criteria has been strictly revised to ensure that the most neighboring regions are allocated for searching.

Added same-platform priority matching logic

ㄴ Added a logic that prioritizes same-platform matching for matchmaking requests.

ㄴ This prioritizes matching with the same platform during the matching wait time, and matching gradually expands to other platforms over time.

# Producer’s Comment We’ve analyzed the matchmaking data from last season and improved the logic as above. First, we’ve narrowed the search range to prioritize matches with neighboring regions, which we hope will reduce the number of matches that experience server lag (network latency). However, our simulation results showed that this could slightly increase the matching time, but we expect this will provide a smoother playing experience than before, so we’ve made this change.   And we were originally going to add the cross-play on/off option to the PC platform. But simulations indicate that the resulting matching pool would be extremely fragmented, so we decided to improve the matching logic first rather than adding the option. Simulations of the same-platform priority matching suggest that it will provide a better experience than the cross-play off option. Therefore, we decided to put the option addition on hold for now and check the matching results before making any further changes.   The Dev Team will continue to monitor the results of the changed matchmaking logic in live and make further improvements and responses as needed.

(5) Beginner Care Improvement

– Added a UI animation that highlights the Module button when there is a module in Inventory that can be equipped on your weapon but is unequipped.

– Added the “Best Module” consecutive quest, which provides Modules to Descendants who enter Hard Difficulty.

– Adjusted Normal Difficulty missions to allow repeated acquisition of items required for Gley and Enzo research.

– Added the “Ultimate Equipment Research” consecutive quest, which supports the crafting of two types of Ultimate Equipment.

  ㄴ Ultimate Equipment – Greg’s Reversed Fate, Ultimate Equipment – Executor

(6) Addition of Ping System

ㄴ The drop rate of gold from defeating each Special Operation monster has been increased to match the amount of Gold that could previously be earned as Interim Review stage reward.

ㄴ The total amount of Gold that can be earned in a single Special Operation has slightly increased.

– Intercept Battle (Normal) – Hanged Man

ㄴ Adjusted the minimum matching number of players for ‘Hanged Man’ to 1.

ㄴ Destroying the Hanged Man’s ‘Imitation Ironheart’ now continuously decreases its wipe attack gauge.

ㄴ Modified the Hanged Man to move less when it uses ‘Charging Laser (a laser that fires from its mouth when destroying its Charger fails)’, making it easier to hit its Weak Point.

– Intercept Battle – Grave Walker, Swamp Walker, Frost Walker
