The First Descendant Update 1.19 Deployed for Hotfix 1.1.0b; Inceases Hailey’s Research Material Drop Rates
Outside of launching the big Season 1: Invasion patch this week, Nexon has now released The First Descendant update 1.19! This is available on consoles and PC, with current-gen players able to see this as version 1.019. This plugs the AFK farming exploit in Void Fusion Reactors, and more importantly, adjusts Hailey’s Research Material drop rates.
Check out the patch notes and details on some of Nexon’s plans for future updates.
Patch Details
- Increased Hailey’s Research Material(Enhanced Cells, DNA, Stabilizer, Spiral Catalyst, Data Chip) drop rate in Infiltration Operation
- To prevent AFK farm in Void Fusion Reactors where Vulgus Elites are spawned, at least 2 Vulgus Elites will be spawned.
- Fixed an issue where the Intercept Battle Results Screen was crashed intermittently.
- Fixed an issue where frame drop occurs when using [PC] Nvidia DLSS Frame Generation
In addition to that, Nexon has also talked about implementing a FGT (Focus Group Testing) when it comes to patches, which could then provide feedback to the devs before the actual patch is released onto all the players. The studio adds that they have been listening tot he “various opinions” from the community about the game’s first major update, and they will continue to respond quickly to ossies and communicate what improvements are on the way.
Don’t be surprised to see another hotfix again. The Season 1 part 2 patch is expected to drop on October 10.
