The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.6: Key Updates and Improvements
The First Descendant has recently rolled out Hotfix 1.0.6, which brings a variety of changes and bug fixes to enhance the gaming experience. Below, we dive into the significant updates, improvements, and issues addressed in this latest patch.
Content Improvements
Bundle Content Indicators
- New Indicator for Slot Items: When a slot item that has already expanded to its limit is included in a bundle, an indicator will now be displayed. This makes it easier for players to check their bundle contents.
- Price Adjustment: The price of slot items will be deducted from the overall bundle price if the number of slots has already reached the limit. These changes improve the quality of life in the store and the UI.
Bug Fixes
Battle Pass Adjustments
- Supply Coins and Weekly Challenges: Issues regarding the acquisition of Supply coins and the completion of weekly challenges have been fixed. Players should now receive these coins as intended.
Fortress Outskirts Mission
- Enemy Spawning: An accidental nerf that caused enemies not to spawn in the Fortress Outskirts mission has been corrected. This mission, known for being a great Bunny Reactor farm spot, should now have enemies spawning correctly.
Outpost Issues
- Cooldowns and Enemy Spawning: Issues where outposts would start without a cooldown and where monsters would randomly spawn in large numbers at certain outposts have been resolved.
Abnormal Gameplay Behavior
- System Errors and External Manipulation: Exploiting system errors or using external methods to gain advantages, such as setting your PC clock forward to farm outposts without cooldowns, is considered abnormal gameplay. Such actions could lead to bans.
Descendant Fixes
Jayber
- Turret Removal and Medical Turret Enhancement: Issues with Jayber’s turret removal intermittently not being possible and the taunt effect of his medical turret enhancement not working have been fixed.
Valby
- Ultimate Val’s Cleanup Skills: A bug causing Valby’s skills to not end if she had recently played has been fixed, preventing infinite skill usage.
Viessa
- Frost Road Skill: The visual effect around Viessa’s legs when using her Frost Road skill now appears correctly.
Kyle
- Superconductivity Thrusters: Issues with Kyle’s super conductivity thrusters, including a bug that prevented their use when his max HP exceeded a certain value between levels 22 and 25, have been fixed.
- Damage Bug: The infamous Kyle one-shot bug, where damage would increase abnormally with status effect modules, has been corrected.
Yujin
- Reactor Level and Healing Output: Previously, lower-level reactors resulted in higher healing output for Yujin. This has been fixed, and players will now need to scale up properly with skill power and modifiers to increase healing.
Miscellaneous Fixes
The Peacemaker Pistol
- Reload and Zoom State: A bug where motion continued if the player maintained the zoom state while the single reload for the Peacemaker effect was active has been addressed.
Grappling Hook
- Midair Maneuvering Module: An issue allowing the grappling hook to be used beyond its range, leading to infinite grappling, has been fixed.
Language and Tool Tips
- Minor Fixes: Various language and tooltip errors have been corrected to enhance overall gameplay clarity.
Remaining Issues and Future Hopes
Despite the thorough fixes, some issues persist:
- Valby Transcendent Modules: The names of Valby’s new transcendent modules have been incorrectly changed to VSA skills. Although they still function, players should note this naming error.
Community Feedback
- Experience and Drop Rates: Many players find the experience grind and drop rates for outposts to be tedious. Suggestions include increasing the drop rates and adding more ammo boxes in critical areas to improve gameplay.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Hotfix 1.0.6 brings significant improvements to The First Descendant, addressing various bugs and enhancing the overall player experience. Continued feedback from the community will be crucial in shaping future updates and ensuring a balanced, enjoyable game.
