The First Descendant Adds Ultimate Hailey In September Update
The update shifts the game's endgame farming toward a randomized dungeon built for Ultimate Hailey while opening Exceed weapon trading up to a Web-synced market, two changes that touch progression and the player economy at once.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
Nexon implemented the September update for The First Descendant on September 17, 2026, adding Ultimate Hailey, the Ultimate version of the Ice-attribute sniper Hailey. The update also adds the new dungeon Cradle of Evolution, lifts the ban on Exceed weapon trading, introduces the Lounge Vault Trade system, and adjusts the Descendants Luna and Lepic.
Alongside Ultimate Hailey, the update adds two skill modules for her, Dangerous Distance and Frigid Strike, plus the trigger module Freezing Point Breakthrough, and a Descendant story covering her past.
Cradle of Evolution is a randomized dungeon in which the Order of Truth sacrifices Vulgus to concentrate their essence. The game lists its difficulty above the Axiom Infiltration Operation and marks it as the main farming location for Ultimate Hailey.
Exceed weapon trading now runs one-on-one or through Lounge Vault Trade, with minimum listing prices set by weapon quality and a maximum of 25,000 Caliber. Listings sync to the Web Trade Market for browsing before an in-game purchase.
