The First Descendant Patch 1.4.7 - Gley Fire Rate Nerf & More Changes

Patch 1.4.7 for The First Descendant went live on Steam, Xbox and PS5 on October 29, 2026, at 00:00 PDT. The developers ask you to reconnect to the game for smoother gameplay after the update.

The biggest balance change takes the Fire Rate bonus away from Gley's Massacre, and the patch also brings new Halloween shop items, several events and a long list of fixes. We will go over every change below, from the rebalance to the smaller fixes.

The First Descendant 1.4.7 Highlights

• Gley and Ultimate Gley: Massacre and the Slaughter module lose their 20% Fire Rate Increase.
• Spreading Breach: a new event where you can find a Mutated Dimensional Stone, opened with 100 Dimensional Stabilization Keys.
• Eerie Dice Run: a new Dice Event with the "Eerie Night" UI Theme and a Name Card among the rewards.
• Transcendent Weapon Loot: now drops from Bounty Operations and Void Erosion Purge: Normal.
• Boosts: items that increase Gold and Kuiper Shard Gain now also apply to Daily and Weekly Content rewards.

Descendant Rebalance

Gley and Ultimate Gley

• Massacre (default skill and common changes): the 20% Fire Rate Increase is removed.
• Slaughter (Transcendent Module Super Senses): the 20% Fire Rate Increase is removed.

The developers explain that the Unique Weapon for Massacre inherits the base performance of your equipped Firearm and increases Fire Rate through skill effects. When Massacre is used with a Transcendent Weapon equipped, that bonus stacks on top of the weapon's already high base performance, and the resulting damage goes well beyond the intended balance range. The team says it kept the common standards for Unique Weapons and only adjusted the Fire Rate effect, so Gley's unique combat style and strengths stay intact. It also admits the change may be disappointing if you enjoyed this combination.

All events below end on November 16, 2026, at 22:59 PST.

Spreading Breach

Completing Sigma Sector, Axion Plains Infiltration Operations, Infiltration Operation: Hard (400%), Karel's Mothership or Onslaught during the event gives you a chance to encounter a Mutated Dimensional Stone. You can open it with 100 Dimensional Stabilization Keys for a variety of rewards. The new Event Challenge "Breach Blocking Operation" is where you earn the keys. It runs from the 10.29 patch.

Eerie Dice Run

Acquire Dice from the Event Challenge "Eerie Dice Run" and join the Dice Run. Finishing the full run earns rewards based on your number of completions, including the "Eerie Night" UI Theme and a Name Card. It also runs from the 10.29 patch.

Ancestors Module Events

These events start after the 11.05.2026 patch.

• Special Fragment Exchange: the Event Challenge "Special Dismantle Ancestors Module Week" gives you extra Ancestors Module Fragments when you dismantle an Ancestors Module each day. Spend them at the NPC BB-On in Albion. The new "Special Ancestors Module Loot" guarantees 2 or more Ultimate Options, and "Rare Ancestors Module Loot" guarantees 2 or more Rare Options.
