The First Descendant offers you many ways to spend money. There are also free skins for descendants – but they are hidden.
With The First Descendant, the South Korean developer and publisher Nexon has released a new F2P loot shooter that is playable on consoles and via Steam. Like many F2P titles, The First Descendant has numerous ways to spend money on skins and in-game currencies.
Of course, there is also a Battle Pass in the shooter. When you browse through the twelve pages of the Battle Pass, you will come across some content that you can obtain for free, so without purchasing the premium version for approximately 10 euros.
Among the free items in the Battle Pass are weapon skins, trophies, and materials – however, you will not find skins for your descendants, the playable characters. There are free skins hidden in an extra menu in the Battle Pass menu.
Skins hidden in the mini-menu
Where can you find the free skins? You can find the free skins in the menu under the “Battle Pass” tab. There you have different tabs that you can open:
- Premium Upgrade (top left of the screen)
- Challenges (top left of the screen)
- Battle Pass (center bottom of the screen)
- Bonus Shop (center bottom of the screen)
However, in the bottom right corner of the screen, you will find another icon that is not labeled. This takes you to the free skins. There you will find, in addition to three weapon skins, spawn animations, a name card, and trophies, also three descendant skins.
Free skins for a lot of supplies coins
For which descendants are there free skins? There are free skins for the three starting descendants Lepic, Ajax, and Viessa. Each of the three characters receives one head skin and one body skin.
How do you get the skins? To receive the free skins, you must reach season level 50 and 96 and then unlock them for supply coins.
Here you see an overview of the skins and the unlocking conditions:
Lepic
- Body Skin: 44th Grenadier Squad
- available from season level 50 for 50 supply coins
- Head Skin: Mask of the 44th Grenadier Squad
- available from season level 50 for 50 supply coins
Ajax:
- Body Skin: Neural Network
- available from season level 50 for 50 supply coins
- Head Skin: Neural Interface
- available from season level 50 for 50 supply coins
- you must unlock all rewards on page 1 (five rewards for a total of 187 supply coins) before you can get the skin
Viessa:

- Head Skin: Tier Cut

If you want to have all the free skins, you will need to farm and spend a total of 377 supply coins.
The First Descendant: Farming supply coins and unlocking free skins
How do you get supply coins? You can farm supply coins by completing weekly challenges or season challenges. You can find these in the “Battle Pass” menu by selecting the “Challenges” tab.
In week 1, for example, you can receive 5 supply coins if you deal 10,000,000 damage with firearms.
Much more rewarding, but also time-consuming, are the season challenges. You receive:
- 26 supply coins if you reach mastery rank 20
- 17 supply coins if you have earned 20,000,000 gold
- 32 supply coins if you complete 300 interception missions
- 20 supply coins if you start the main quest “The Stance of the Masters”
- 23 supply coins if you find 50 awards
- 29 supply coins if you have used 200x amorphous material
- 35 supply coins if you defeat 200,000 enemies (Vulgus)
- 15 supply coins if you improve the special ability of an ultimate weapon
You can thus receive a total of 197 supply coins through the season challenges. For this, you get the first five rewards on page one. However, this is not enough for Ajax’s head skin.
