The First Descendant is an upcoming loot shooter that will be released on July 2. A developer talk on YouTube now offers additional insights into the endgame content.
What is The First Descendant about? The game The First Descendant
is a loot shooter that will be released on July 2 as a free-to-play title on Steam and already recorded over 70,000 players during the beta. Your goal in this PvE shooter is to take on the invaders to protect the continent of Ingris and the people living on it.
The game offers not only a storyline but also a lot of endgame content. In a video on YouTube, the developers of Nexon Games discuss the endgame of the shooter. They explain that players can make the game individually more challenging, and that this can be quite rewarding.

Increasing the difficulty individually
How can you increase the difficulty individually? In The First Descendant, which has already been referred to as the baby of Destiny and Warframe since its announcement, you unlock a higher difficulty level after finishing the story. Some of these missions allow you to play with other players. These missions are called infiltration missions.
If you choose the higher difficulty level for the infiltration missions, you will have the option to add individual additional challenges. These make your missions even more difficult if the higher difficulty level is not enough for you.
In the developer talk, we already see the following options:
- Reduce Descendant HP by 10 %
- Reduce gun ATK by 10 %
- Reduce DEF by 10 %
- Enemies gain 10 % more HP
- Enemies gain 10 % more ATK
What advantage does that bring you? Of course, it also gives you an advantage if you decide to select additional challenges along with the increased difficulty level. If you play at a higher difficulty level, you earn points for defeating enemies. The more challenges you individually add, the more points you can earn.
In the video, we see that without a selected challenge, you have a score of 100%, and for each selected challenge, an additional 10% is added. With a total of five challenges, according to the video, you can reach a maximum of 150%. In addition to the higher points, you also receive better and more loot due to the increased difficulty. However, we do not yet know what this will look like in detail.
Last year, the developers already showed 17 minutes of gameplay of the new loot shooter The First Descendant
