Here’s everything coming to The First Descendant in season one.

Everything included in The First Descendant season one

New Descendants

Season one is adding two Descendants. Hailey is a new Chill sniper character who eliminates enemies with a single shot and comes with an “anti-material sniper rifle, sub-zero bullets, and a storm snare.” Freyna also receives an upgrade in the form of Ultimate Freyna. Her new toxic look comes alongside the Descendant Story quest, just like we’ve seen with Bunny when The First Descendant launched.

New Ultimate weapons

Excava and Frost Watcher are the two new Ultimate weapons in this update. Excava is available from the battle pass and combines the versatility of an assault rifle with a powerful charged shot you charge by attacking enemies.

Frost Watcher is a scout rifle you can earn from seasonal content. The weapon reduces the enemy’s Chill resistance and enhances the damage of your Chill skills, making it perfect for the new Descendant on the roster, Hailey, or even Viessa.

Inversion Reinforcement is a new seasonal power scaling tied to the Iron Heart. You can unlock new potential and abilities in different areas using Inversion Reinforcement to grow stronger throughout the season.

Invasion Dungeons

Invasion Dungeons is a new activity randomly appearing in two Infiltration Operations on Hard difficulty. In these dungeons, you’re tasked with clearing enemies as fast as possible. The faster you get the mission done, the better the rewards.

Death Stalker

Death Stalker is by far the most powerful Colossus, so expect it to be even more challenging than the Gluttony. Death Stalker emerges from the shadows and “unleashes attacks laced with venom and horror.”

All this and more additions, including a trade agent, are coming to The First Descendant in season one, launching on Thursday, Aug. 29.
