Fresh change with two new Descendants
The people at Nexon have announced that there will be two new playable characters. Players can look forward to a male and a female Descendant. But that’s not all; Season 2 will also offer cosmetic adjustments. Players will have the option to choose alternative hairstyles and color the default looks of their characters.
The developers have announced that the new characters are not only meant to be fresh and exciting, but will also come with a balance update that enables players to choose from a wider range of weapons and Descendants. These changes aim to provide players with more options. Additionally, a new ultimate Descendant will be introduced.
Another important change will affect the drop rate. Currently, the probability for certain items is 20 percent; this aligns with the logs, but player experiences seem to differ. Some obtain the item on their first attempt, while others do not get it despite multiple tries.
Instead of simply increasing the drop rate, the developers have devised a new system. With Season 2, a “target reward” will be implemented in The First Descendant, allowing players to obtain loot more easily.
The development team explained in the community Q&A:
To improve the drop rate in Season 2, we are introducing the “target reward” system. […] The “target reward” system is intended to help by allowing players to select a mission and receive guaranteed rewards after a certain number of attempts.
