The First Descendant - Hotfix 1.0.7 Early Patch Notes

The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.7 is scheduled to be released on August 13, 2024, and the developers have already released some valuable information about what changes we can expect to see in the new update.

One of the most important aspects of Hotfix 1.0.7 is the adjustment of the Frost Walker boss fight. Defeating him will become way easier with the improved matchmaking and usability features, and you will have no trouble finding information about the required materials.

The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.7 Hard Mode Changes

The Infiltration Operation on Hard Mode will go through some significant changes in Hotfix 1.0.7, with the Grappling Hook Disabled and Jump Disabled options getting removed from the selection list. Moreover, the Select All option will no longer be deselcted when changes are made after you choose all options.

Other improvements include the removal of Occupation tasks and focusing on Eliminations instead. The random combination of options will now be replaced with preset selections, and the matchmaking parameters will be significantly expanded.

The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.7 Content Updates

With Hotfix 1.0.7 in The First Descendant, you will have some additional time to choose the restart option after you complete Intercept Battles, Special Operations, and Infiltration Operations. You will also have the opportunity to choose between Restart Alone and Restart with Squad. Moreover, characters will become invincible when standing on hazardous areas after intercepts are done. This means that the use of the Reconstructed Device will be more convenient.

The difficulty of the Frost Walker fight will be adjusted in a way that allows you to enjoy it through public matchmaking. In Special Operation, AFK players will be automatically moved to the Abort selection during Interim Review. Additionally, monsters' HP will be reduced and more ammo will be dropped in Void Fusion Reactors. Monster spawn intervals will be shorter in Echo Swamp - Derelict Covert, and weapon proficiency will be obtained when using Unique Weapons.

The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.7 Usability Improvements

Hotfix 1.0.7 will allow you to quickly identify important information about equipment by looking at icons in the inventory. You will be able to see how many ultimate options an item has, and identifying the attributes and Arche types of Reactors will become easier. The tooltip display will function faster as well, so you can sort your items more efficiently.

The developers added that they are discussing plans to support build diversity. Those who prefer to use the same socket type across Loadout Pages 1, 2, and 3, will have their current setup unchanged, while socket type assignments will only be necessary if you want different socket types for each loadout.
