Season one of The First Descendant promises to add more ways for your Descendants to get stronger. But to match the strength with the challenge, there’s a whole new dungeon difficulty coming later in the season.
The First Descendant season one preview post by the director Minseok Joo on Aug. 22 revealed the update introduces the “highest difficulty” of the Infiltration Operations. These dungeons are a proving ground to test your builds and earn loot you can only earn in more difficult Infiltration Operations.
We also got more details about the upcoming mysterious merchant called ETA-0. “Every time he visits, he shows up with a variety of products that can be purchased with exclusive currency. With each visit he brings different products,” the post reads. The products ETA-0 can sell include blueprints for Descendants, Ultimate weapons, and hard-to-get consumables.
The new vendor seems similar to Xûr from Destiny 2, who visits the game every weekend with new wares. Unfortunately, the blog post doesn’t say how often we can expect to see ETA-0 in the game. It could be once a week or once a month.
New dungeon difficulty and ETA-0 won’t be available immediately with the launch of season one. According to the seasonal update schedule, these features are coming in the third update on Oct. 30, alongside Ultimate Freyna and her story quest.
In the meantime, get ready to try out new Descendant Hailey, new seasonal progression, and Invasion dungeons when season one of The First Descendant releases on Aug. 29.
