The First Descendant hotfix 1.0.4 ups module storage space and reduces the cooldown for multiple monster spawns and operations.

Another patch is here for NEXON's third-person looter shooter. The First Descendant hotfix 1.0.4 is another example of the team jumping to action and ensuring their game is balanced, fair, and thriving.

This hotfix focuses on some content improvements and new additions to the game. You can read the notes in full for director's comments, but we've got the meat of it here for you.

  • Content Improvements
    • Module storage limit has been increased from 1000 to 1500.
    • Cooldown for " Vulgus Strategic Outpost" has been reduced from 5 minutes to 1 minute.
    • Spawning time between monster respawn has been increased, and the reward amount has been adjusted at the " Vulgus Strategic Outpost".
    • Void Fragments will now drop when defeating monsters in Special Operation. There will be the most void fragment drops at the Special Operation "Neutralize Void Experiment."
    • Using "Mark for Arrest" item obtained from Special Operation will grant ten times the usual amount of gold. When "Mark for Arrest" is used from ‘consumable’ tab, it will convert to 100,000 gold, and "High-Value Mark for Arrest" will convert to 1,000,000 gold.

While the patch notes aren't massive like previous ones, you'll find that these small tweaks are very impactful for the game's dedicated player base.
