Nexon has implemented the Season 3 Episode 4 update for The First Descendant, introducing Ultimate Esimo, a major farming system reorganization, the official version of Collision Mode, and balance changes for Valby.
The farming system has been reorganized to make material collection more intuitive. Players can now collect Archive Fragments to obtain early-game Descendants and weapons, and amorphous patterns have been reclassified by Descendant rather than by number. The new Ultimate Descendant, Ultimate Esimo, comes with the Black Detonator bomb suit, faster explosive reaction speed, and two exclusive transcendent modules: Mad Bombardier for close combat and Explosion Maestro for single targets. Collision Mode, previously in beta, is now official with turret balance changes, weekly reset rewards, and a guarantee of higher-rank rewards at higher difficulty levels. Valby received skill adjustments and improved synergy between her abilities.
