We’ve got all of the information on how to unlock Hailey Scott, a frosty sniper, as she arrives with The First Descendant Season 1.

Hailey Scott is the new Descendant in The First Descendant Season 1, and you'll need to unlock her if you want to play as her. The sniper has a handful of devastating abilities, so you may want to get her on your side sooner rather than later.

Let's go over everything you need to add her to your roster of Descendants.

To research Hailey Scott and unlock her in The First Descendant, you'll need to find Anais. This is where you can see everything that is needed, including how you can obtain them. Just open up the Acquisition Info.

Here's what you need:

  • 400,000 Gold
  • Hailey Enhanced Cells
  • Hailey Stabilizer
  • Hailey Spiral Catalyst
  • Hailey Data Chip x36

Once you have all of those materials, you can begin the research which takes 16 hours to complete. This can be sped up with Caliber, which fluctuates depending on how much time is left for the research to finish.

If you don't want to go on the grind to unlock Hailey Scott in The First Descendant Season 1, you can purchase her outright. This costs 900 Caliber, which is the premium in-game currency. You'll need to go to the Caliber section of the shop and see how much it costs for your local currency to purchase that amount.

How to obtain research items to unlock Hailey Scott in The First Descendant

If the research route is your choice, then you'll need to spend a decent amount of time collection resources. You can't just immediately get the materials needed to research Hailey. In fact, you'll need to research those items themselves.

So, once again, here is a list of all items needed to research Hailey Scott and unlock her in The First Descendant, but this time with everything you need to obtain them:

  • Hailey Enhanced Cells
    • 246 Monad Shards
    • 239 Compound Coating Material
    • 96 Polyatomic Ion Particle
    • 36 Hailey Reinforced Cell DNA
    • 200,000 Gold
    • 8 hours of research time
  • Hailey Stabilizer
    • 363 Nanopolymers
    • 455 Reverse Charging Coil
    • 47 Negative Ion Particle
    • 36 Hailey Stabilizer Component
    • 200,000 Gold
    • 8 hours of research time
  • Hailey Spiral Catalyst
    • 422 Repton
    • 554 Carbon Crystal
    • 14 Common Carbon Activator
    • 36 Hailey Spiral Catalyst Blueprint
    • 200,000 Gold
    • 8 hours of research time

You'll see that the Data Chips are not listed. This is because they don't require research. Instead, to unlock Hailey Scott in The First Descendant, you'll need to do the Season 1 Invasion Dungeon. Success there will give you the Data Chips and the last items listed before the gold requirement of each necessary material.

The patch notes for the new season state that if you clear any Invasion Dungeon, you're guaranteed one of the materials. They are also available in Hard Infiltration Operations. The faster you complete the Dungeon or Operation, the more materials you may get.
